Sketchy BlackTs

Good for you pulling off an ENTIRE (minus 1) rotation of A- pitchers. Surprised more people haven't looked into how you got all of them but I did. Pulled off MULTIPLE sketchy trades with the LA Diablos. Ryan Braun censored . Congrats on the success, but you should have an * next to your record.

Hmmm....Let me point out that those trades between Colorado and LA were made before i took over this franchise....i did look into those trades,and they were indeed horrible trades...i am surprised they weren't protested and/or reversed...can't imagine what the previous owner was thinking,but the rest of the league should be glad that he is no longer part of this league...one or two bad trades can upset the competitive balance of the whole league,and those trades certainly accomplished that,in my opinion...nothing can be done about it now,but i certainly agree that an asterisk is warranted

My Post wasn't intended as a' criticism of You,Colorado,...as i stated,i can't imagine what the previous owner was thinking...i think you caught the rest of the owners napping when those trades were made...perfectly Legal indeed,but it surely did help colorado more than Los Angeles without question

I know one Thing for sure....i am going to renew after this tour just to beat Colorado,and watch his trades real close...from this angle,it looks like he Got 3 A- pitchers for 3 packs of bubble gum and a whistle

This is why owners get disinterested and drop out of staying active...obviously Colorado drafted well,but those trades clearly made it almost impossible for any other team to hope for anything but 2nd place...I'll stay active,but my interest level is not real high...this league will be boring for most of the N.L. Owners other than Colorado

just Glad i'm not in the National League...probably won't win in the A.L. with my weak pitching staff,but we would have zero chance against all those A- pitchers...Looks like Tons of fun for Colorado,but BORING for the rest of them

Actually, I think 2 of those trades were protested.... but ambivalence and apathy let almost anything fly (especially in a free league.) One un-named team would trade away great starters for anyone who has better speed... as a matter of fact, I think that the trade complaints were aimed more at the other team taking advantage of inexperienced owners.

Also, does nobody notice that the original author of this post has really raped another unnamed owner for the best offense in the league by a long shot? How is that any different then me?.. Except that I have been more successful. Whiners gunna Whine I guess.

Okay this is just a bunch of sour grapes now. I only got Armas and Vizcaino from the former LA owner and they are my 5th starter and middle reliever B (both got hit pretty hard last season too). Im kinda being persecuted for drafting well and being active in legal trades. You guys can do that too.Also, does nobody notice that the original author of this post has really raped another unnamed owner for the best offense in the league by a long shot?

You've raped the same unknown owner for the best pitching staff by far. So let's not be hypocritical. However your staff really is BS. Glad you'll be the reason people don't pay attention to this league anymore.

it is still early but it sure looks like the A.L. Race will be a lot more interesting than the runaway train in the N.L. i also looked at those early 1950 trades that Colorado made and it seems that those owners made the classic mistake that most new owners make...trading away Quality,established pitchers. It never pays off and the team that trades it away spends the next two and a half seasons trying to find a way to shore up its pitching staff...Can't blame Colorado for being shrewd,but i agree with the guy that said it affects the competitive balance in the league that is designed into the initial draft...Just Sayin'

Anyway, everyone. All I have done is draft well and make good moves with 5 different owners. If you don't like the moves now ( I think only 2 were protested, as many as yodaddie btw), thats really on you guys. Stop hating on me for playing well. Im out on this nonsense.
Have fun and try to man up a little guys

yodaddie, man. I didn't care about your moves and still don't. However, you are the leader of this witch hunt and you have done the same thing I am being kinda hated on for. Thats hypocritical and why no one else has noticed I don't know.Anyway, everyone. All I have done is draft well and make good moves with 5 different owners.

I went ahead and checked on EACH of your pitchers' player cards, and under the past skills tab, NOT ONE of your pitchers increased in ANY stat, so not sure what you're talking about. Again, now lying when put under the spotlight.

Burkhart, Donahue, Hendricks. Overall is based on the numbers behind the grades, not the grades themselves. Did I do something to offend you, yodaddie? Im not sure I know what the reason for this hate is or why im "again, now lying". Im sure I have been polite to everyone and played hard.Does anyone see my point of view on this thread or am I just 1 vs 15 from here on out? Just interested, let me know.
