I feel bad for those that didn't see the writing on the wall last year.

Too many inconsistent owners that wanted to play the system instead of playing the game.

I'm not sure what you mean by that but I know I've always played the game the right way.

I did a fricking 5 year build in this league.. I don't want to see it fold. I think we've got enough decent owners to save it, but we need people to take accountability for their teams and not quit every other year.

The only reason it's a shite show is because of people like you and your brother.. Hopping in and out year to year. It really fricks up the continuity of a long term keeper league.


Right

not the owners who dont log in days at a time
or the ones who let trades sit days at a time


And these trades affect the whole league, not just that owner's long term team.

I obviously put out that Harper and Boegarts deal as a joke, and Im not putting this on Boo, but the fact that he even had the gall to offer me that deal thinking it was fair says a lot about how the trades have gone down in this league. Like there wasnt anything wrong with it

That wasn't directed at you. You had to deal with the hand you were given when you took that team over, and you made it competitive quickly.

Meanwhile, there are others that haven't been competitive since before you joined and don't seem to have any interest in changing that.

The league is old, and full of owners that were once highly active but have become busier as they have gotten older or just lost interest altogether. I'm sure the league can survive, but I would expect heavy turnover from year to year.

I knew 100% it was getting vetoed and didn't fight it one bit. I would have vetoed it.

I was actually shocked that you accepted it.

Rick said he got some shite going on in his life. Pretty bad that he can manage his other team but not this shitty one, but what you gonna do? We will vote to replace him this off season and let the league decide.

Yeah I guess I just feel if it's not collusion who are we to say anything. Yea I think JewT fricked up but how about a hat tip to Thomas? I don't think they are cheating.

He's the one who offered? yeah but there's no way the trade was standing anyway.

Honk, maybe im just a nerd for this shite, but I check owner activity and lineup moves daily, meaning who is benching and starting who.. for other teams. Trust me when I say there are teams who go days without signing in, not just rick.

for the record i dont think anyone is cheating.

It's not on any individual, just kind of reflects the interest as a whole

You pay $100 and expect a good product. Sometimes you just gotta cancel your subscription if you aren't satisfied. Just like cable. Not getting our money's worth here

Look I get it. BUT I know at least one owner who will not be back this year that has been trading to make his team more competitive for the next person who takes it over. Not just saying frick it, I'm out.

Yea I check the league 10x/day but that's even a little much more me. Why not call the people out? There are enough decent owners around here to vote their arse out.


Also.. Good looking out on Teoscar.

Write it down: your team will suck and you will quit. But not before maybe a couple of years of bitching about league rules in attempt to squirm out from under your bad decisions.

And Rouge. You gave up 2 prospects for Wil Myers and pieces. A third rounder is a 15 round pick. Is that all this shite is all about? A 15th rounder? Let me rephrase.....A 15TH frickING ROUNDER
