QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) To send a message, I request that I be put in league 5. This way if people have a problem with me they can request to be put in another league and avoid me and my cheating ways. and thanks for doing this.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) Yes, there was another, it didn't really bother me so much that Latino Heat was upset. It was more that the other guy felt the need to put his two cents in when it didn't even affect him. Damn I know how to hold a grudge. maybe it was cause he saw what i saw, which was a whole season become a waste of time cause of the crazy adding and dropping.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) Well next time log on to your computer faster because honestly, there's a bunch of people who do that on Yahoo and I've been on the "bad" side of that. Plus all the rules are set once the league is set. You really can't complain about something you didn't think of and someone else did. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but I'm just saying the facts. that's just not cool. so basically the point is to log on asap? what if you got work and can't do fantasy stuff till the nite? that just sucks the fun out of a league and becomes a waste of a season and time. i can undertand if you can log on earlier. but when ppl just start adding and dropping just any pitchers to get more K's, it's not cool. fantasy baseball is more about expertise on the sport and should be less of who can click a button first .

QUOTE(valponick @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) That other guy you're talking about is me. I never said you cheated, you just took advantage of the way the league was set up. Most leagues stop free agency at some point int the league, usually right around when the playoffs are starting. The last match of the league (2 weeks long) was you and another team who were both on fire and it was set to be a good matchup. When you started adding and dropping 5-7 pitchers per day to inflate your stats is when it became bush league. Free agency is part of fantasy baseball but it is best for a league to at the very least have a maximum allowed number of transactions per week to avoid things like this. What it ended up coming down to was whoever logged on first and picked up all of the free agent pitchers who were throwing the next day. I should also add that the Hornswogglers didn't start doing it until you did. thank you, i'm glad someone agreed with why i didn't like their tactics. couldn't have said it any better. it doesn't have to be be monkey see, monkey doo. i don't care if he saw other ppl do it b4. once again, thanx valpo for the defense.

it be me, thelatinoheat_30. i'd like to be in a league that's not #5, h2h, and as late a draft as possible in march.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) I hope there's something in this contract that forbids him from cutting his mullett. me too, lol.

Williams has proved himself in Chicago from foxsports.com only thing i don't agree with is the writer says we should have traded pods instead of a-row. but then we wouldn't have a lead-off hitter. otherwise, a good article.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Not entirely sure why this was bumped, but I'll still make this a keeper if there is enough demand. I haven't heard from many of the players though. Please respond with your opinion if you see this. I'll send out PM's after the playoffs (in the real league, not fantasy) if I need to. hey i'm hornswogglers but i don't wanna do the keeper league thing cause kalapse will prolly beat me just based on his ability to add and drop pitchers more than i could. i don't mind losing fair and square but i don't think that's how a champ should be decided and something shoulda be done when he started doing that.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) Hope everything turns out alright. ditto

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) f***in ay'. They were the only station to play Pantera, Lamb of God, Classic Megadeth...even if it was after hours. yea, mudvayne, slipknot, killswitch engage, and chevelle too

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) when was being guns n rosey a bad thing???? i concur

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) That station cant hold a format. It has changed so many times i cant even remember all of them. I even remember way back when it was Z95. It takes an awful lot of effort and reciprocated effort from advertisers too keep a station on the same format. Especially a station like the Zone trying to cut in on Q101's market. If you are going up against a monster like that, you better bring the big guns. The Zone started strong, but never maintained their alternative mantra, slipped into 80's rock and mainstream rock(crap), and now it seems as if they just gave up. Too bad really, competition gives you better quality. twas sad to hear oldies playin when i turned my radio on to my first preset yesterday. i thought the exact opposite. they started off playing bad alternative music, like q101. then they started getting better, getting better djs and playing real rock, heavier, more melodic rock along with some classic stuff. like the only bad thing on it was their overplaying of the political systemofadown. and they had cool segments like "midday metallica", "90's @ nine", "fight club", "extreme zone", "top 20", and "hard drive". hard drive was the best, first place i always heard the best new music first. and of course, the 40 min. non-stop was cool cause ya knew they'd play music for the first 40 min of the hour and then between :45 and :50, so ya could skip the commercials. i guess no more radio for me, most of the loop is too light for my liking. 95 wiil rock is cool, but there based in kenosha, so its' tough getting em here, unless its a car radio. twas a good ride while it lasted.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) We'll be there.. And tell me about the whiny crap.. :rolly I get up at least 2 hours before most of you "kids".. work a full time job longer then your school day.. and maintain a household.. yet still find the time to attend weeknight games - and most of the time go out after the game. good for you, no one cares

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) i was at the brewers game yesterday and overbay hit a homer and singled, he seems to make contact and hit the ball better konerko but i still dont get where we would put him, and thats the problem when you have a full infield and everett also as a DH possibility. cragi was right brewers fans loved him there, every time he stepped up to the plate they all held up big O's or made one with their arms and kept saying O constantly. We could use another lefty power bat the only problem is where to put him and what to do when a guy like frank thomas gets back, i guess my only question is, can he play third or would we plan to put konerko at third like the padres putting nevin to catcher? i went to a brew crew game recently too, it was cool when they did that O thing. he is a doubles hitter and would fit in better into our style than konerko, solid left-handed bat and he's been on a tear, right on time. the reason they wanna trade him now is that they got one of the best prospects in the country in prince fielder and they wanna get him some playing time and his position happens to be 1B.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) Konerko, your plane is boarding. Overbay can take over for overpaid Kong in the offseason. i'll drive kong to the airport

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 07:38 AM) This morning on Mike & Mike, Jayson Stark said Cliff Politte, not Damaso Marte, was now part of the package for AJ Burnett. I hope that is not true. It certainly makes me concerned. Cliff Politte has pitched as well this year as Mariano Rivera. Look it up. How many 1-run victories for us this year would have been turned into defeats if we didn't have Cliff Politte. He has been one of the best relievers in baseball this year. Without him, the Sox bullpen, which is a tremendous strength of the team, would turn to mush. I wouldn't trade Cliff Politte heads up for AJ Burnett. PLEASE, KW, STEP AWAY FROM THE PHONE. DON'T BE SO STUPID AS TO TRADE CLIFF POLITTE. (P.S. I expect this rumor is part of some other threads on Jayson Stark, but I felt it deserved its own headline.) i completely agree

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) Baez has to pitch a lot of 2 inning saves / appearances though, that increases his ERA. He's been better than the stats indicate. that's true, but when viz is good(like currently), he's better than baez.

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) I can't believe the talk of including Marte or Pollite in a trade to acquire Burnett. With our lack of offensive production (especially against quality starters), this team needs the best bullpen possible to shut down every potential rally. Furthermore, we really don't need another starter (as long as injuries don't hit our staff). We should easily make the playoffs with the lead we have at this point and 3 quality starters is all that's needed come October. With all the off days in the postseason, the team's ace will usually pitch game's 1, 4, and 7 in a series which goes the distance. I'll take Garland, Garcia, and Buehrle over Burnett or Schmidt anyday (or most other pitchers in the league for that matter). However, we need the depth in the pen to preserve all these 1 run games we seem to play once we get into inning 7 and beyond. I could see including one of our relievers in a trade that upgrades our pen (i.e. Wagner) or produces a bat which greatly improves our offense (Overbay, Griffey, Huff, etc.)......but to include it for a starter is a move that's not necessary and could hurt us come October. i agree. politte should not be moved, unless the deal is really overwhelming. marte i'd be ok with trading cause of his inconsistency and he has had a heavy workload. i agree on the importance of depth in the pen. i just hope they aren't interested in baez.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Well he only hit 40 HR's once and anyways ill take a guy with 25 HR's with a higher avg. Konerko's HR totals with the sox 24 21 32 27 18 41 22 curently this season.. His avg. .294 .298 .282 .304 .234 .277 .261 currently this season... Id much prefer the Konerko we had for the first 4 years with the high avg. than the one with the declining avg. and better power numbers these last 3. i concur

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) ESPN insider Will A.J. stay or go? Jul 25 - With A.J. Burnett producing another dominant start and the Marlins playing better baseball, they are weighing whether or not to trade Burnett by Sunday's deadline, Peter Gammons reports. "We don't have to trade A.J. If we can make ourselves better in 2005 and for the future, we'll listen," said Marlins GM Larry Beinfest. The White Sox and the Red Sox appear to be the two top suitors for Burnett. The White Sox would reportedly be willing to part with reliever Damaso Marte and rookie Brandon McCarthy, while the Red Sox are dangling Bronson Arroyo, with the possibility they could also include hot prospect Anibal Sanchez, Gammons reports. it said contreras MIGHT be in the trade on rotoworld, i'm just saying it makes the trade that much worse if he is in it. also, konerko will be on @ 3:48 on espnnews

http://rotoworld.com/content/playernews.asp?sport=MLB from rotoworld @ 11:49 ct today, on possibly having contreras in the deal also, fyi konerko will be on espnnews, specific time not said, gammons on soon, thomas will undergo more tests

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) No it didnt, this morning being the latest report. Regarding LV: Secondly, his ERA in June was 2.25, so far in July its .87. I DO consider that good. Next his three year splits (which help eliminate outliers) vs LH .207 .287 OBP .381 SLG vs RH .238 .300 .435 He has been more successful vs Lefties. that was then, this is now.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) Great Post. For you "get RP" people in this thread, who is your magic RP? Its not Wagner, and its not Guardado, because they arent available. So who next??? from the sun-times:

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) No they didnt, Marte, BMAC, thats it. KW wouldnt get ripped off like that. Secondly, the Marlins are going to pay some of the salary for Lowell, so thats not what he is owed. Next, if we aquire AJ, we then move on of our starters to the pen, which either adds to the set up role, or moves LV, who is good against lefties, into Marte's role, and JC or El Duque into long relief. Done and Done. the latest one said contreras might be involved, also lefties hit .333+ against viz while righties hit .245.
