Idk how you didn't gain any points with that line.

That was Swamie's night.

I was 5/0/5/0. Good pitching though for me.

Here's the ways I can do it...

Runs (-6 runs)
VKC - 741
Me - 736

OPS (-.007 points)
floridatigah - .778
me - .772

ERA - (-.03 points)
Chat - 3.43
Me - 3.45

QS - (-2 QS)
MWG - 107
Me - 106



The toughest one is OPS. If I can catch you when you're at 123, I have a better chance of tying you.

But I have Al Bundy luck. This isn't me coming close to winning. This is life letting me get close to winning, just to pull the rug from under me.

Made some real moves for the first time in a long time to fill in some off day holes.

VKC has been a bitch to catch up with in runs. Too bad my pitching has been shite since the last post.

Mccutchen, Trout, and the gang are run scoring machines.

Who has pence? Dude is killing the game.

I think I got him for $9.

Him and Soriano were my bargain busters.

I saw you dropped Jason Castro.

You pimped that dude for months trying to find a trade partner. He had a nice season though.

Thomas still has an unreal line. He ran train in nine cats. I think he touched like 130 at one point.

Yeah, they shouldn't play him this year with his knee. I can't believe nobody wanted a probable 20 HR catcher. If I wasn't selling Votto, E5, or Sale, nobody wanted to trade.

Thom...that greedy son of a bitch. He's got all those cats and he is trying to take my saves too

I just thought he was not worth the upgrade. A guy like Salty will get you 15 homers. Those dudes are everywhere.

Good thing you did not deal Soriano.

I honestly want Thomas to hit 140 because that would be amazing. However, he will never surpass my .831 OPS (or make the jump in steals obviously).

Offered up him and Pence at the beginning of the season.

Pence ended up doing what I sold Rios for.

My three biggest regrets

1. trading Alvarez
2. declining a trade for Fernandez that would have been just as bad as the Alvarez trade
3. dropping Puig

My biggest regret was buying all those damn cripples.

Kemp, Hamilton, Crawford, Headley took up 40% of your budget, but hey, Anibal and Segura

Honestly though... if I had to do it all over again, I'd do the exact same thing. It looked great on paper. Pitching was suppose to be my weak area of my team but it's easy to find pitching throughout the season. If those damn cripples did anything at all, even just 7 or 8's across the board, I'd be up there playing for money.

Bastards.

Considering how crappy my draft went, I'm pretty happy with how my team ended up. I look forward to doing much better next year.

We should discuss any changes for next year pretty soon.

I think there was some issue with picking up guys because I tried to streamline transactions too much. I will probably just adjust this on my own for next year.

Site switch to ESPN? I could make a league poll for this.

Anything else we should decide.

My biggest complaint with Yahoo was the player pool for rookies.

Also, I know this was a side league for most of y'all to change things up, but could we consider a small amount of keepers?
