You haven't ordered hotel food enough in your life.

Didn't they announce that the taxi squad would be in Buffalo

what he said... Let me clear up the $750,000 fine thing. If they break quarantine it could be considered lying to a border official which carries that fine. There have been at least 7 American's charged with breaking the rules after they came into the country so far (maybe more it was an article I read last week). The biggest fine so far has been $1000. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/news/2020/03/new-order-makes-self-isolation-mandatory-for-individuals-entering-canada.html

And Donaldson was being a bitch at the time of the trade deadline not allowing the Jays to trade him at the non waiver deadline and lowering his value.

Colin Moran was my 2B though. That is two of my favourite prospects I've traded now for a small chance at one playoff run. Considering how stacked it is at the top it's probably not the right move.

I trade in division far too often. Great deal for {ICN}, terrible deal for the guy that loves relievers far too much. I tried to expand it and get two in the deal too

Unpopular opinion but Vancouver has one of the worst sport fanbase around. They support the event but not the team. It is a trend town where pro teams have one chance at long term success and that is sustained winning

Took it to the bash a mod thread. We are still learning how to deal with issues, but we don't need to discuss them on one of our three most popular annual threads

I will send something. I can't compete with the top 4 in the league but it's my last year I can compete with Dinger IMO.

Can we discuss the absolute arrogance of this statement? Considering you could have hand selected a 2020 team in 2009 and would absolutely have a last place team. And by that you I mean any one of us.

Attached to my cane. When waved it means let me speak to your manager

Isn't it the Rays year to come out of the gate slowly?

Last summer in Sask I was living in a place with no cable and I ended up getting it in April. Not worth the $27.99 as in summer MLB was all I watched and DAZN had most of the non Jays games on their broadcast. If you are paying for a cable package now you can get SN Now though

That means he is old

I love that he's working with baseball analytics people.

$100 Pirates under 25.5 (an actual wager I have)\ $50 Braves under 33.5 $50 Nats under 33.0 $50 Cards over 31.5 $50 DBacks over 31.0 $40 White Sox under 31.5 $40 Indians over 32.5 $40 Padres under 30.5 $40 Rangers over 28.5 $40 BlueJays under 27.5

I'm too realistic for that. But you are absolutely correct.

Wellington Castillo third Nat to say we won last year I'm good

I didn't even know I could delete a post of a mod. It is going to be tough not to discuss COVID when it comes to baseball, but we are going to ask to keep the posts on it to the baseball side not the virus itself. Pretty sure all our attempts at civility are f***ed if the Indians change their name

That's marriage, not corona

I'm giving everyone $500 in BJMB dollars. Which has zero actual cash value. After our last contest winner did not get his prize I'm not going to offer a prize on this one (I will get Boxy his jersey though, even if I have to sew it myself). I will post my picks before the deadline. Changes acceptable up to the deadline of 23:59 on July 20, 2020. Rules (assume all bets are priced at 1.91 so if you bet $100, you win $191) $500 to spend. Max bet of $200. Keep all bets in $10 increments. Teams not playing at least 58 games voids the wagers. Ties are broken by more overall wagers beats less. TEAM OVER/UNDER 2020 WIN TOTAL Los Angeles Dodgers 38.0 Atlanta Braves 33.5 Washington Nationals 33.0 Chicago Cubs 32.5 Cincinnati Reds 31.5 New York Mets 31.5 Philadelphia Phillies 31.5 St. Louis Cardinals 31.5 Arizona Diamondbacks 31.0 Milwaukee Brewers 30.5 San Diego Padres 30.5 Colorado Rockies 27.5 Pittsburgh Pirates 25.5 San Francisco Giants 25.0 Miami Marlins 24.5 New York Yankees 37.5 Houston Astros 35.0 Minnesota Twins 34.0 Tampa Bay Rays 34.0 Oakland Athletics 32.5 Cleveland Indians 32.5 Boston Red Sox 31.5 Chicago White Sox 31.5 Los Angeles Angels 31.0 Texas Rangers 28.5 Toronto Blue Jays 27.5 Kansas City Royals 25.0 Seattle Mariners 23.5 Detroit Tigers 22.0 Baltimore Orioles 20.5

Are their going to actually be spring training games or will teams be doing other things (like using their 60 man rosters or local teams) to simulate game situations.

About time you booted me.

How about your goal be not be banned at all. I asked a new poster about you as an issue on the board. Their response was he's very active and positive in the GDT's. I agree 100% there. Same can be said for your contributions to the Dynasty leagues, the sports threads too. There are probably many that see it that way. When you are attacked or even when someone you get along with is attacked, you attack back (you just did it to me now when you felt like I was attacking you) Again 60% of our reported posts are at one time about you. You have been banned more than anyone (and yes you took the non Swedish bans without complaint and without creating new accounts) but the behaviour has never changed. We can't have a zero tolerance on disrespect and let you continuing to disrespect posters, whether it is in good fun or a running joke for years. It makes my moderation job miserable (that isn't at you but everyone who won't be able to respect the rules). I spent too many hours now trying to diffuse people like Tercet only to be attacked myself. Not just here but in my social media life which is my professional life. The rules are set out. Hopefully we can get some baseball happening and see if we can remain respectful.

I have admitted that I am a terrible moderator. In fact this all started because someone called me out for not walking the walk, from my real life to my moderation life. I'm giving everyone this board to ask the questions about acceptable and not acceptable posting. I think the NEW rules are pretty well set out. I look forward to you and everyone else abiding by them.
