Only one super long post instead of four consecutive diatribes. Way to change things up, dude. I was beginning to get bored with you. I like the new version of mentally unstable. So what was the catalyst? Break up with one of your fifteen made up girlfriends? Start a new regimen of bi-polar medication? Finally move out if your mom's basement? What's your secret, brother?

Lol. Either I destroyed/dismantled the team or I won with the team you built. It can't be both. Perhaps that beautiful music you are enjoying can help you find peace.

I like pancakes!

Mmmmm. Pancakes.

Peace. Peace is for the women and the weak son. Sheep plead for peace. The lions are here to hunt. The weak have to choose peace because theyre too impotent to battle.

And who picks a player hitting .198 at rookie ball with red ratings in the rule 5 draft? Only someone completely irrational like ferns. Considering the data nobody makes that pick.

But I forget, there are obese dullards everywhere that dont even consider the data. Stupid me for relying on people to make rational choices in a statistically based computer simulation.

thebarbaricCBU · 10-01-2011, 04:52 PM

Guy hits .198/.288/.359 at rookie ball as a 21-22 year old over two seasons, is scouted at 3 on a 10 scale across the board with a 6 rated scout, gets picked in the rule 5 draft, and then proceeds to hit .254/.306/.531 at the major league level as a 23 year old. If that isn't totally irrational then I'm not sure what is. Nobody jumps from rookie ball to the major leagues. Nobody.

Obviously the commishioner stepped in and boosted the guy so ferns wouldn't look like a total donkey. He probably stepped in a few times because Im sure he took ratings cuts at some point. Hes hitting .297/.394 /.514 now. Hes an MVP caliber player now with the commishioner cheat.

msupoke · 10-01-2011, 05:09 PM

Waffles are also a nice breakfast food.

thebarbaricCBU · 10-01-2011, 06:08 PM

It's the principle of it all. It's the fact that ferns, because he eats way too much Mcdonald's, decided to blindly pick the player without analyzing ANY of the data. Didnt look at the ratings and didn't look at the stats. He saw the pretty colors, saw the speed, and blindly made the decision. There were other prospects at AA more developed at the time.

As a GM you have a duty to commit your attention fully to the league and the other GM's. You have a duty to analyze the data with your full attention to come to a decision that will impact another GM that makes sense.

His decision simply didn't make any logical sense, was based on ignorance, and was completely disrespectful towards me as a fellow GM. We're here as a company of brothers in companionship that are supposed to respect each other while we compete and have fun. ferns simply didn't do that. He was selfish and ignorant. He thought only of himself and his own advantage and not what was proper to his fellow GM's and the league.

Every other GM had enough sense to pass on Cantista. I have no wish to be in a league with unprincipled GM's with no respect for anything or anyone.

Your league can rot in hell where it belongs now. I give every league a chance to become a respectful, decent league. This league simply failed in the end at that.

Tostitos with salsa and cheese... M'mm mmm

CBU is introducing a new rule and title.

Taking a page from the NFL, the last amateur drafted of each draft (Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL) will not be called "The Esovia". In honor of our greatly disturbed #1 fan. As "The Esovia" the player will be gifted to an African safari to see Lions and stuff. Assuming the player survives, he will also become Rule 5 draft eligible immediately, and by rule, has to be taken each year, until he reaches the Major Leagues. "The Esovia" if retired, or eaten by Lions, will ge a spot in a special wing of the Hall of Fame, which is being built in the shape of an E, for our long lost stalker friend. Each "The Esovia" will forever be recognized for their bravery and relentless efforts, year in and year out.

**The commish reserves the right to edit injury file for "The Esovia" to include, mauled by Lions**

Will the HOF serve waffles?

With real butter and real maple syrup. To fatten everyone up. Complimentary Confederation flag, rednecks!

Also I forgot, I secured a "For Dummies" library. Cause we're all stupid. So we need books to learn us some good stuff.

Foresttim · 10-02-2011, 05:03 AM

Will the books be in Yank English or the Queen's English? Don't put any Shakespeare or Dickens for dummies in there as they're rubbish.Do waffles taste like crumpets? If Esovia while walking in the Forest gets hit on the head by a falling tree will anyone hear? Why can't Daleks go upstairs? We need to know the answers to life's mysteries.

I can't understand what you say ever. It must be the accent.
