Fuck this POS game.

Winning every home series prediction...failed.

I'm sorry I couldn't take that from you. Good run though. Bittersweet for me... picked up 2 games on you this week, but B'More sweeping you may factor in my run at the WC later.

5-2 this sim. We took 2/3 from expansion-mate Mississippi, and 3/4 from Division leader Dallas. Good show Clowns.

I love how I'm the only team that gets ratings hits on all of their best players. Fuck life.

What are you talking about?

Joe Sierra is half the player he once was. Anibal Alsina is nothing compared to what he was. Linty and Grandon...

If you think that it is only happening to you it's because you don't follow other teams and the rest of the league close enough.

The kids are hitting. This make shift staff is doing a heck of a job. 6-1 sim.

Of course, now that my team is winning ball games the injury bug finds it's way to Denver.

Losing Sanchez (how is this not surprising) for a month is going to hurt. He was one of my most productive bats. Good thing Higgins is around to help with that load (aka future Denver SS).

If Seltzer continues to rip up AAA, he'll find his way back to the show. Then there's the former Mississippi outcast, MR Adrian Romero, who struggled in the spring and in the first month but has not given up an earned run in nearly 10 innings of relief in AAA. If he can bring that confidence to Denver, that's another strong young bullpen arm to compliment Goree, Rice (who is better than that ERA), Sierra and Kimura.


Since starting 10-16, Denver has gone 18-7. Nice turn around in May.

Millers players that have taken a ratings hit since last offseason:

Johnny Buzzell
Howard Haydon
Curt Goodwin
Zhi-peng Zhao

So there you have 2 star players, a guy who previously had #1-#2 potential, and a decent reliever prospect, all take a ratings hit. Then guys like Noke and Lang magically turn bad, and Gremades turns into a bench player. Then nearly all of your 1st round picks flame out and take ratings hits randomly. Then you have one of the 2 best teams in the playoffs for 3 straight years and just magically start playing bad and lose in the 1st round each time. You can't improve because noone trades with you. It's so much stress.

I traded with you. :) And Carlon has been damn good.

Maybe more people would trade with you if you played your cards a little tighter to the vest.

When you say f this guy, he's gone today... no one is going to offer you much for them. Plus, I'm a firm believer that in this league if you want to make a deal, you have to approach the other person with initial offer in hand. The trade blocks are nice, but they don't drive action.

Well when you have other things on your mind like your closest friend shutting you out and pretending you don't exist, it doesn't make things easy.

Look... I'm not trying to be your Guidance Counselor, but if life sucks for you... don't bring it here. I don't want to speak for anyone and everyone else, but this is escape for most people. A nice little fun break from the day. If this league is adding MORE stress to your life, maybe it's time to step away.

[Guest]

It doesn't add more stress, but it's hard to do things normally when you're under so much stress.

That's not true.

Again, not trying to start an After School Special... but Brother you don't know stress.... call me when you have a wife, kids, a mortgage, bills and a full-time job.

I'm sorry that life at DeGrassi isn't grand right now... but please keep it out of the BLB.
