TRM

14 Ks now

Kkkkkkkkkkkkk

Stingy call on that 2-2 count. Still, if Darvish gets three more K's, he will get an 100 pitching game score, which would be a top 10 performance of all time.

First offer of any draft pick gets Al Albuquerque. Message me if you want him.

The one thing I have always wanted but has never happened (irrelevant for this league, though) is the ability to in draft trades. I'm sure that's a long way away, but its one of my "dream features"

1. A smart person does not always create and formulate smart arguments. Even the smartest people are often wrong. From my (admittedly, not sure why you decided to attack my age) limited experience, the smartest people are actually the ones who acknowledge that they could be wrong, or are not afraid to admit they are wrong. 2. Some degree from the 80s (guessing based on your children) does not prove you to be smart. Neither does a degree from today. It's easy to cheat and grease ones way into, and through, nearly any program in this country. Conversely, smart people don't go to college for personal reasons, or because they can't afford it, all the time. Particularly nowadays, where information is available everywhere, one does not need to attend a college to be educated and enlightened. 3. What does the fact that I am in school still have to do with anything? I can still see when someone is being a pompous bully. Conversely, the most insecure are the one's who bully, and particularly bully based on meaningless attributes, like appearance, wealth, or perhaps education. If you were secure and smart, you wouldn't feel the need to belittle Boxcar for being "uneducated", because you would be confident enough in your own view, and smart enough to see that attacking him on something so meaningless doesn't further your point at all, or help him to see your side of the argument. Additionally, I have less experience then you, but that doesn't make my experiences any less valuable. We also have different experiences, and I know things you certainly don't, while you know things I don't. You aren't doing a good job proving to anyone that you are in fact not stupid. In fact, you're posts have done a better job enforcing his statement. You attack my reading comprehension, but I comprehended it fine. You think you must know better on this subject and thus have a more valid because you have a shiny degree, and Boxy may or may not (who knows.) That seems ignorant to me, not smart.

Listen, I go to the one of the best (if not the best) undergraduate business school's in Canada, but I don't go throwing that in people's face as a reason that my argument is better than someone else's, because the education system is a pretty big joke, and anyone who doesn't see that is probably a fool. At the very least, it is certainly no way to compare people's competencies. People choose to go to different school's for different reason's, and anyone would agree that the best student at Trent (or some other school with less history, is worth ten times as much as a slacker that barely passes at McGill) The fact that you use that to back up your point shows your insecurities, and the fact that you are probably full of it. Pretty soon I expect you are gonna say you are more manly then someone else because you have a bigger dick.

And first place is mine! (By tiebreaker)

You bastards jinxed me talking about my OF. Rios got hurt. I've hardly had a healthy OF all year, for what it's worth. Holliday, Stanton and now Rios.

HAHA. Poor No49. Turned himself into the league villain.

Hey, you leave me out of this. I didn't ask to be proclaimed the greatest offence. It was merely anointed upon me.

This. This I can fap too.

Haha, jokes on you. I still have two weeks against Boxy!

I believe I am due for some congrats too. From being ordered out of the league by you, to passing you in the standings. Talk about a turn around!

Division Reuben > Cheesesteak = Turkey Bacon Club >>>>>>> Monte Cristo

These are fun and relevant because 11-1 lawl. Old board is a gold mine. "Meanwhile, MPL member TheZachLeeFan has the second worst z-score and has gone 8-18-2... time to replace him in DDL?" -Time to replace you? "Well, you'll have even less to say after I clean your clock" -True "You'll have joined the line behind Spanky, Hurl, Greenwood and Boxy. They don't seem to be talking smack any more." -Hmmm? What's that? "I am now first in both leagues. If you don't like it, you better step up your game." -I guess I did, oops.

Monte Cristo division.... what a farce!

Farm Rankings: Through these together quickly at work, and by no means am I a prospect buff, so I could be well off. Just thought it would be an interesting discussion to get started, and I know njh mentioned back on the old board doing something like this ultimately. Also, given my team has the worst spects, I figured I wouldn't offend anyone too too badly, given I am not being a homer putting myself ahead of anyone else. Anyway, feel free to discuss. I will change them if convinced through thoroughly constructed arguments. (I fully expect to make a number of changes. You are basically seeing my rough draft) 1.

This would be a great time for one of those JPA homers I hate so much.

So much for going to that game.

Hahaha. Where on the spectrum does our conversation land!

I know we all sure did

Good thing it's not September

Dickey Johnson Buehrle Morrow (My write in vote) Happ

Yep, that's the only reason they would go with Morrow over Happ.
