Hot Seat #72 - nick

Rules for the Hot Seat

This is something we are continuing on with. One nice aspect of being a smaller forum is building a solid community and getting to know many of the forum posters and here is your chance to get know one another even better!

In The Strike3Forums Hot Seat threads, you may ask the one in the Hot Seat (in this case, nick) up to 3 questions. The questions can be about baseball, movies, relationships, whatever.

Please keep the questions appropriate and know that the person in the Hot Seat can refuse to answer any question he or she feels uncomfortable with. You may ask questions for the next week, then the guy in The Hot Seat will answer up to three of your questions.

If you would like to have a chance to be the next one up, post that you would like to and nick will select from the ones interested for who will go next. Or, he'll just select whoever the heck he wants.

Timeframe involved: Just so we know how we are going to do this ... the person in the Hot Seat will be there for about one to two weeks. Questions, such as this thread, will be open for one week and then we will close the questioning so that the poster has time (up to one week) to get some answers together.

Questioning will close Monday, March 23rd. Answers will then be opened until Monday, March 30th.

[Porter]

1) Can you even explain how cursed the TPSL Mariners are? You think they will ever break out at all?

2) Same question I asked Hammer, who among the S3F Brethren are the following role
Sniper
Two-Way Player
Playmaker
Enforcer
Sean Avery

3) Will the Cubs acquire Jake Peavy?

As for 1 & 3:



=/



Sniper - the Zodious killer
Two-Way Player - Halladay_Is_God, Porter, Slyder
Playmaker - Mission, Zito
Enforcer - Realmofotalk, Saber & Albbbla
Sean Avery - Hammer
special category- Goalie - Brian Jefferson Dinan

I tried to find a way to squeeze the Syracuse kliq in, but damnit, they like basketball there!

[nick]

For real on Peavy though: don't think so. If it happens, which I don't forsee as of now, a number of things have to be going right or have gone right by the deadline or all star break. If one little thing doesn't fit come that point, I think it's a case where it can mess up the whole scenario.


EDIT:

Woops, sorry Leo. I didn't notice I was supposed to wait to answer.... my bad dude. Following directions must not be a strong point for me anymore...

1. Where does Big Game James Loney rank among the list of the North Side's public enemies?

[DiamondDave]

1) What is the biggest problem that you personally see with the OOTP league that you are running?
2) If you would somehow be drafted into the military, what type of job within the military do you think you would want to do? What job do you think you would be you best at? Which job would you want least? And which job do you think you would be the worst at?
3) What is your personal definition of being a truly honorable person?

[cjkalt]

1) Rank the following GM's for the most likely to win a Sim WS first to least (and why):
- Porter
- cjkalt
- mntwinsfan
- ljshorty
- BJD

2) If you had to get rid of Mel Kiper or Joe Lunardi which one would u get rid of and why?

3) Which SBSL GM's do you think will be most like Scott Boras with their created players?

[Kingdom]

I think 3 is the wrong league, CJ.

[Kingdom]

1. Call it here and now, which of these do you see being a hall of famer many years from now and why:
3B Evan Longoria
SS Hanley Ramirez
LF/3B Ryan Braun
SP Jon Lester
SP Tim Lincecum

2. What movie or movies greatly impacted your life, or emotionally moved you?

3. Since everyone else is asking sim questions, Are you cursed? Why is it everytime TPSL is peaking in interest, woosh, Nick is gone. Not only that, many regard TPSL v.1 as one of the best leagues to grace this site and that tragically ended. Did you piss off a goat?

[nick]

Leo, I PM you my answers I assume?

[HollywoodLeo]

No.

I'm going to post my questions sometime today, close the thread, then open a new one where you'll post your answers.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

1) What do you like and hate the most about Chicago?

2) If you could interview anyone alive today, who would you interview? Keep in mind you can't ask this person just anything, it has to be something they're willing to talk about (aka A-Rod probably wouldn't comment on his steroid use, but you could try).

3) Ask yourself a question and answer it, because I'm epic failing at coming up with a third question at the moment. Make it good.

[HollywoodLeo]

1. In OOTP, what rating do you think is most important for hitters? What about pitchers?

2. Do you put more value on ratings or past performance when trying to decide whether to sign or extend a player?

3. Do you think the Cubs can finally break the curse this year?
