2040 Random Rantings

[HollywoodLeo]

In all fairness if we played by Misson's rules you wouldn't have Spahn/Musial/Gehrig/DiMaggio/Johnson from throwing so many consecutive seasons. I guess it's Karma.

Maybe, maybe not. I wasn't exactly tanking intentionally.

[HollywoodLeo]

Although, come to think of it, I wouldn't have had all of them with Mission's rules because he doesn't skip open teams. I wasn't always picking first when I had the "first" or "second" pick.

For instance, I got Musial 2nd even though the Padres were the 5th pick.

Regarding Spahn, since you felt the need to include him in the list, I was doing fairly average last year thinking I was set for a middle of the pack pick when my team inexplicabley nose-dived in the last sim while still fielding the best possible team as I had all year (save demoting Walter for a sim for financial purposes....and it wasn't that sim. I had an 8-9 sim with Walter in AAA IIRC). Not really my fault that I wound up with the 4th (effectively 3rd with Atl open) pick. (Not that I'm complaining of course)

[Hangman]

It's sucks for sure but part of the game. You have PLENTY of talent to fall back on.

[HollywoodLeo]

yeah, I know. Wasnt really trying to say Molina should have that policy, I'm pretty big on just going with the flow of the commish's rules whatever they may be. I was just ranting.

First Lamp, now Faura is out 4-5 weeks and Maddocks is done for the year. Great. Good thing I have some guys I can at least try to shuffle in the outfield. Lamp comes back, maybe my team will stay healthy long enough to try and at least try and pass San Diego...

Gonzalez had one bad outing in his Dodger debut and should really push the rest of the pen.

About the AL Central being the superior division, when's the last time a team from the AL Central made the WS? 2031. Bring up the fact I'm in a weaker division, look at my record vs SD, COL, LA, ATL, PHI and MIL.

I don't see my team holding up. How they're even in first place on June 1st is a minor miracle. Especially without the help of Walter Johnson (save the first part of the first sim).

When the last time you won a title, Sabu? dont worry ill wait.

What does this have to do with you sucking?

You're apparently caught up on me not being around for about ten seasons. Sorry I left you. Had I known you were to go and gain a feeling of self importance, I would have stayed and smeared you into obscurity like I did while I was still in the NL Central.

[Kingdom]

Oh, children. Just as long as you keep your hands to yourself, everyone will have recess time.

[HollywoodLeo]

Not sure how a team with a .759 winning percentage sucks.

The NL is like the Mountain West Conference in college football.
