To all WSBL Owner who read this board

First and foremost...Scott, if you feel this is inappropriate, please delete the thread.

Now, much has been "discussed" about the WSBL league that Tusso is running. Well, since I am an OOTP junkie, and have no life, I have been keeping an eye on it.

I went as far as to download the ratings report from the start from his team, the Yankees.

Here is the ratings for his propsect Drew Henson from before the first sim:

Name Age Pos Hits Homeruns Walks Speed Stealing Range
Henson 23 3B Average Good Fair D D C

and this from the latest sim:

Name Age Pos Hits Homeruns Walks Speed Stealing Range
Henson 23 3B Good Good Average C C C

Yet, a quick glance at his team development page shows that there were NO developments for Drew Henson.

Now, I've posted this many times on the WSBL message board..and the commish just deletes them.


I just want all the owners in the league, that have given their ID's to know the kind of commish that they have. Hopefully some of them will read this board and realize the truth.

What's worse, is that if any WSBL members did read this board, they would have had ample warning about this kind of thing.

Must be 12 of them at least. Very similar to the former WSBL when Pat Casey was running it.

At least it was not the Braves. We can at least kill that myth, that cheaters only pick the Braves. Now it is the dreaded Yankees!




The WSBL owners were warned many times over and over as Sporr said. If most are new to OOTP, what a piss poor first impression this must give them. This guy is NOT the norm in this community. This community as a whole does not want slime balls like this guy running leagues to begin with. The reason so many people have watched this league, waiting for the misstep.
Waiting for those posts that say, looking for a league opening where the commish does not cheat. Like there are tons of them out there.

Tusso?, could be many others as well. Just like his many email address (AOL, Yahoo's) and many instant message names.

After looking through the message board, I see that Tusso copied my guidelines (ISBL) for Promos word for word. The funny thing is that when I checked the file, he never changed them from the default.

Also, notice OOTPNewbie is on the waiting list.

This is the Ultimate OOTP League as it has copied everything from almost every league around.

Read all OOTPNewbie's posts, if that does not sound like a 2nd coming of Baller nothing does. A newbie with experience, nothing like it.

I am just surprised that this league was ever given a spot on the league website. Especially since the name given on its homepage (not to mention the website design) is the same as a league which had commissioner problems in the past. Sure, the league's http address is different now but the name remains the same.

A commissioner is supposed to be someone who agrees to take the time to oversee the league and ensure that the league is enjoyable/fun and fair for all of its owners. Unfortunately, it would appear that Tusso has confused the word 'Commissioner' with the word 'Dictator'.

What is actually impressive is that he can keep them straight most of the time.

I mean, I have trouble remembering to put socks AND shoes on in the morning without coffee. And here he is keeping track of 5+ different aliases, on many different forums.

I'm not sure at this point if he needs a shrink, or a commendation :-)

Hey, anybody need research for a paper on multiple personality disorder...they should come to this board!

Oh...and like sands through the hour glass...

Well, there have been a few occasions where he has slipped. Just the other day he asked a question as Yanks4Life and thanked the answerer as Tusso.

The rumor on the block is that WSBL is changing its name to IAGBL (Imitation of All that is Good Baseball League).

The 2nd post has a double post as Tusso where he must have realized he used the wrong alias.

He took some stuff from the USBA in it's EXACT form and is still using it on his web page. I asked him to change it because I was embarrassed seeing anything from the USBA on his league but he denied 'borrowing" any element from the USBA. The lies never end.

He never even changd the "9pm Pacific" lineup deadline on the box he stole off the USBA web site.

I would speculate that is a large basis for making a rule that all trades be emailed to the Commissioner and that nothing trade related be posted on the league message board. That way he can't cross himself up like jblaze did awhile back when operating multiple teams in the old WSBL.
