Oops, guess you did not delete the thread where you changed the draft to serpentine. And you were right, you had the 29th pick, not the 30th pick. My bad.

Changed my mind, I do not want to join.

At the risk of drawing treedom's ire, I'll have to say this is one funny thread...............

SmoothLikeNick · 02-19-2003, 02:09 PM

jblaze,

Its Cardball6/SmoothLikeNick ....

I'd be willing to get back into online sims again if you have a spot open.. (provided that you are going to be running this league properly) .. I think you know what I am capable of..

Nick and everyone else.....Oakland is the team remaining, I will have to get in contact with you, and we will talk.

When you email me or whatever, make sure to provide email address, full name, and aim.

John C · 02-19-2003, 03:08 PM

A serpentine ammy draft? That's quite possibly the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard.

Nice to see you haven't changed from your days in the iMLB, JBlaze. Glad to see you run a league with the same tact and humility I've always seen you demonstrate.

-John
-Cooley's right...this *is* funny

LivnLegend · 02-19-2003, 03:17 PM

Why is it always the Braves!?

sporr · 02-19-2003, 04:20 PM

Hey Legend, remember Mr. Juicy? That was Cleveland and NOT the Braves.

LivnLegend · 02-19-2003, 04:32 PM

Only by luck, if I remember correctly the Braves were open around the same time!

crackpott · 02-19-2003, 06:11 PM

what bothers me is this league is generating more interest than mine ever does.

Hey... Steve is a Braves fan, is he not? Hmm... really makes you think.

treedom · 02-19-2003, 06:30 PM

If you took that ugly red-head off the front page, I'd join your league.

EagleEye_0 · 02-19-2003, 06:32 PM

I would take him up on that offer Phil, Laura is hot, but we could use the owner.

crackpott · 02-19-2003, 06:41 PM

nah. If someone is dumb enough not to join just because of that picture, I doubt they could be a very committed owner anyway. That's one of the purposes of the picture other than the obvious one.

treedom · 02-19-2003, 06:56 PM

What commited? I just wouldn't want to have to see those chicken legs every morning with my coffee.

crackpott · 02-19-2003, 06:57 PM

ugh. I'm starting to feel ashamed to live in this city...

Please tell me you live in Scarborough. That would explain everything.

Modern Relic · 02-19-2003, 07:21 PM

Chicken legs! Chicken legs! Chicken legs!

good night!

Crackpott I know you’ve heard all this before, but if I were in your league, I wouldn’t look at the home page except in private because my co-workers, friends, or family would think I was sitting concentrating on a picture of Laura Prepon clad scantily. I think she’s pretty, so it’s distracting as well. You say that you use the photo to screen out potential owners, then you castigate everyone whom it screens.

Turning down the opportunity to play in your league is not dumb, it’s just choices different than yours.

crackpott · 02-19-2003, 08:34 PM

I don't claim that turning down being in my league is dumb. That IS a preference. What I think is dumb is electing not to be in a league you'd otherwise be in because of what is on the front page.

treedom · 02-19-2003, 09:50 PM

satchel pretty much hit it on the nose...if i was sitting there glancing at vitro and beltre's amazing numbers for the month and my girlfirend walked in, all she would see is laura...and that's just grief i don't need

crackpott · 02-19-2003, 09:54 PM

well... I suppose that's a valid point. I just tell my girlfriend "It's for the league... it makes it more appealing."
