I still think after last season though the 180 plus ip pitchers are fading and honestly I want as many of them on my team. Don't want to rely on guys that are on limits abs so in when I need them down the strech

I don’t know Fred, looks to me like there’s too much cash ($1455) chasing not enough talent in the auction. Especially SPs—only 1 SP in the auction (Mad Max, now 37 and a Met) scored more than 825 points last year, and only 2 more (Gibson, Flexen; excited yet?) scored more than 675. Not sure where all this cash will go. I was a little surprised none of you other wanna-be contenders besides Charles made an offer for Buehler.

Looks like cash is king this year
-
Fred's inspired me. I need to shed more salary, someone make me an offer on Nick Castellanos.
-
This is the great reset year that I have long prophesized about
-
And I am very much up for another season or two of SOM while we wait for real (and fake) baseball.
-
That box was pretty wrecked by the time it got back to me, I am pretty certain I retired it. I did reuse the bags and bubble wrap though.

Just saw the umlaut :D

If folks are serious about the strat league I can reach out to Kris and Mike to see if they’re interested in playing again. I wonder if anyone still has that beer box?

Still deciding about Freeman and Buehler. Looks like trades can still be proposed…if you’re interested in either at these salaries offer me someone I’d keep.

I suspect that this group does not need a reminder, but don't forget to get your last minute cuts in by 11:59 tonight.

Henry kicked my ass sideways in our matches
-
Mikey whoever was on slack thread was in the league
-
Sorry, I meant to respond to the earlier message. I'm all in if someone wants to start the Stats league up again. And I'm pretty sure I can get Nancy and Dan back. Was George part of that league? If so, I can work on him as well (having a bit of a flashback to the Seinfeld episode about worlds colliding).

For strat-o-matic players , new " cards " set comes out Friday. John Hook, you are not allowed Coors as your home park
-
Yes, I really wanted to explain my "other" reason as something like "Owners lockout".
-
Thanks for the reminder. I just cancelled. Too bad you can't select "lockout" as your (required) reason for cancelling.
-
Fred, one might argue that it’s not so bad.
-
I just canceled my MLB.tv subscription so it wouldn't auto-renew on March 1. I'm not giving MLB owners a dime during the lockout. In case any of you want to adjust your subscriptions before the auto-renew draft on your accounts.

looks like there is some meat on the bone in this years draft , too bad NGB isnt here to see it , as his position was always strongly that there wasnt going to be anything i

I am pretty sure Moz would feel the same way about seafood. How weird is it that he is a vegan far-right winger?
-
We all shoukd eat more sustainable seafood, as meat is murder .
-
They have walleye and perch fish fry tonight too
-
They have both golden and sour monkey in tap near me
-
Yes its somewhere in between those
-
Golden Monkey is a favorite when I'm back east. I imagine Sour Monkey must be somewhere between gueuze and trippel?
-
John Hook ,its highly refreshing beer ,and like most Belgian styles , the 9.5% is well hidden. https://victorybeer.com/beers/sour-monkey/

That article pretty much makes my case for me. But this whole discussion was worth it to be reminded “It’s like a pair of eyes. You’re looking at the umlaut, and it’s looking at you.”

I can vouch that it is a great beer. Probably my fav Fred sent.
-
I sent some to Kevin, a sour tripel
-
They made a sour Golden Monkey?! Damn, I bet that's tasty.
-
I think Husker Du are named after a Danish board game and might have come by their umlauts honestly.
-
its 8:25 am and i already know what my 4 pm beer will be...Sour Monkey by Victory
-
This group constantly reminds me that I dont know anything about music or musicians.
-
its Pats fault the whole umlaut discusion to mask his embarsemen of not knowing one of the best college rock legends

This group has the ability to go down rabbit holes like none other…

I can remember it like it was yesterday. We were drinking Löwenbräu, and when we decided to call ourselves Mötley Crüe, we put some umlauts in there because we thought it made us look European. We had no idea that it was a pronunciation thing. When we finally went to Germany, the crowds were chanting, 'Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh!' We couldn’t figure out why the fuck they were doing that.

Rules of thumb are easy but not perfect. Sometimes something slips through that shouldn’t. Of course I’ve ignored Motörhead (adding an umlaut to an *english* word is another “especially” category; see also BÖC) for what seems like my entire adult life so I’ll just take your word for it that this is one of those times.

sure, but what's the use of a cry for help if no one hears you scream?
-
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, you all know what I mean
-
I'm pretty certain that the existence of Motörhead makes that a pretty poor choice.
-
I'm on players side on almost every issue this go around . I think they should do away with luxury tax and come up with a forfeit draft pic scenario for going over X amount, while also doing same for a minimum team salary . tampa ,who loves picks , would quickly come up to minimum salary by signing someone like j.d. Martinez for example . also foreign players should be part of the draft
-
And that explains why I had to look up Mould. I have a fairly strict policy of ignoring bands, and alumni of such bands, that have added an umlaut to their name. Especially if they’ve added 2. And especially if the words in their native language don’t require an umlaut.
