2008 Off-Season SIM 5 Complete - Next SIM Mon 08/25

As long as those garbage pre-arby deals are on the books, what is really the definition of unfair? I say just keep them. The payrolls have been unbalanced since the day we banned pre-arby deals but grandfathered all those other ones in for certain teams.

Yes we know. You hate Windy City. And in the BBA FA sucks. And in FOF the game doesn't make sense and you don't know what you are doing.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Fix them so I can have fun. I won't apologize for it. I'm not going to handicap my contracts and payroll when WC has 50m in star players signed for 15m.

[Matt]

I think you win the Stout this year. That should be fun. Just make sure Pat doesn't get all his FAs back at a discount.

People need to stop bailing him out. I'm built for longevity. Someone has to keep Pat honest.

You are going to grow up to be one bitter old man yelling at the kids "STAY OFF MY LAWN!!"

I can almost picture it right now.

I agree. No rules on contracts for a few years. I'm currently going over some creative financing options that I think the players union will love.

I like when the playing field is level for everyone. Win or lose. Stop fucking tanking too.

Also, a heads up. You cannot adjust your scouting or PD budgets after this sim.

Thanks. Asked that earlier.

I only had two bad seasons. Wasn't even the worst team last season.

Something to build on?

Who bailed me out?

Fsquid's deal is confusing, gave you a top 20 prospect and money for FA for a 31 year old SP for a team with no chance of competing.

I don't know if that really qualifies as a bailout. Now that deal with Denver you had....

Ramirez? He offered that to everyone. No one bit. I also haven't won three straight championships and made the playoffs almost every year since we began. It's your charm that gets people to bite on your deals maybe. I wish I had it.

Campos was a nice dump. You were over budgeted and squeezed a top 20 prospect out of thin air. Trust me, I applaud you.

It was offered to me too.
