Awesome news, IRB! I’m glad baseball has provided a much needed diversion during your difficult times. Praying for continued clean scans.

Wonderful news IRB, thanks for letting us know.

Great news! Keep fighting

I got the results of my scan and I am cancer free! My oncologist will want me to get a scan every 90 days. Obviously if it spreads the quicker we start treatment the better. So I feel really good about the results and that if it does return we can get treatment ASAP. He has told me from the beginning that he could not tell me if we would be able to get to where we are today, so again I am very fortunate. Thanks to all of you for all the good wishes. Now if I could just beat you all!!!

Irb just reading some of the posts. I hope u stay in the fight and get better. Best wishes IRB!

Wow IRB that's a lot. Glad baseball and this league provides some distraction when you need it. Lake Tahoe is wonderful, I hope you get some good time there. Best of luck with the medical prognosis and recovery. I'll try to get you on Slack -- I have to work through the admin guy. He said to search your email for an invite from Slack.

Praying for you and a great outcome. Good luck IRB. TBones

Sent this out because not sure who got it or not. Thanks to all that have already sent out good wishes to me!

get bad news tomorrow. If it has only spread in the lung I will probably move forward with treatment. If it has spread to other organs I may not. Rather than go through this again, I would prefer to live out the rest of my time enjoying life, not spending my days in an infusion lab or getting radiation and not feeling well. I appreciate all of your concerns, but I can honestly tell you that I have lived a great life. I hope this goes to all of you. I don't know if it is the new email

8 days after I had the part of my lung removed. It's been tough in many ways. I had a PET scan done yesterday. It will show if the cancer has spread. I will see the doctor Wednesday to get results. Regardless, I will be leaving Florida the end of September. My sister lost her husband to cancer 12 years ago and she wants me to live with her and take care of me. She lives near Carson City, NV and is a 30 minute drive to Lake Tahoe. I am very fortunate. I will have to make a decision if I

.if any of you are on a CPAP or know someone that is, google to find out which machines have issues blowing into your lungs some type of hazardous particles. I was diagnosed as Stage 3 and have been on a rigid dose of chemo and radiation. 1/2 of my right lung was removed in December. I have had a tough time of it because the heavy doses made me pretty sick. At least I had baseball to keep my mind off it. I watch 2 or 3 games a day. I am retired and 72. My spouse passed away December 30th,

AZ, I remember that you told me about that and I have been using it. Thanks. I was diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer in December. I have never smoked or lived in an area with factories, etc. I just found out that some CPAP machines can cause lung and other cancers. Did any of my doctors tell me this? of course not. Not even my pulmonologist who put me on the first machine. I was on it for 5 years and there are many class action suits against that particular machine and others. So.

Hey Bluegrass, I have been trying to get on the slack sign in with no luck. Can you see if you can help me?
-
Completely agree -- hope all goes well IRB!
-
Really sorry to hear that IRB. I hope all goes well with your treatment.
-
Sorry if I misunderstood about the other email account. I am undergoing cancer treatment so have not been home all afternoon. I will try to get set up on it in the morning.
-
All certainly have the right to vote as they wish, but I can assure you there is no malice or poor intentions on my part. I updated my trade block offering the same deal to all teams. I like this trade for my team: I would have thrown back to the auction every player I traded and am getting back three young, cost controlled players. Again, happy to discuss further here or on slack but I think only Bluegrass and I are on the Slack channel at the moment.
-
The right to veto has stood since the beginning of fantasy baseball, and when we as owners see super-duper uneven and unfair trades it is our duty to stand against such tyranny and exercise our right to veto. I implore all who are imbued with a sense of decency and fairness to stand firm and veto this trade. Say to those who have foist it upon us that we will not accept your shenanigans, nay we shall stand firm and say to thee: We mind, the Dude minds, and this aggression will not stand man!
-
That's right, I just created a Slack channel today!
-
@Rocks Beach - I could be wrong, but I think Bluegrass was suggesting that he would create the private slack for us today, not that one had already existed. I wasn't aware of one, so I don't think anyone purposefully excluded other league members.
-
Here's the link for the league channel in the Ottoneu.slack.com site: https://app.slack.com/client/T038NMRAH/C02BY0NC40M (you may need to reset your email address if you are not active)
If you have trouble, let me know and I can get the Slack admin to fix your account. Once you are inside Slack, DM me "Charley Miller" and then I'll add you to the private league channel.

(1) I have known Lake City personally for 20 years. We play in home keeper league that is on its 18th year. He is consistently competing for championships and hates to lose. For this reason, I can assure you all that he wouldn’t make any trade for the express purpose of upsetting competitive balance.
(2) Full disclosure: I’ll admit that I may have had a more passionate opinion on the matter if Bluegrass’ deal with the fantasy devil did not also include dicking my team over with atrocious l
-
I do not want to leave this league.

I have no issue with the deal. I approved it.

I enjoy this league and work hard to put a good team together. This particular year, I made a decision early that it needed to be a pitchers league and that has worked out pretty well for me. But since I made that decision I have lacked a lot of top position players, so I have some unlikely players. But look at my points. They are up there and I am a competitor that contributes to this league.
-
First, my intention when doing a trade is never to induce someone into leaving the league, particularly a long-standing member. That is bad for the league as a whole. Second, to reiterate and because we all do not know each other, I do not know AZ for any reason outside of this league. I am more than happy to discuss this further on the Slack channel (BG can you add me please — bwpercival@gmail.com) and I’m always wanting to make this league better.
-
Bluegrass: My email address is kargorman@hotmail.com. So I guess I have never really been apart of this league anyway since I was not included over the last 3-4 years in your private channel. I am not mad at you or the players who put together this trade. I just can't understand anyone accepting it with only a few weeks left and giving AZ a good chance to win the league in what I consider a bogus trade. I don't care how many times they negotiated it it is not right.
-
I am 100% in next year. Have been in since the beginning with no plans of leaving this league. I will be happy to renew today but as we found out before it is difficult to prove since the commissioners can not see that info but I will be happy to screen shot it and send to you personalIy. I will also send you all the messages between us discussing the trade. I do not know lake rangers personally but you can see all the reasoning and thought process of the how and why.

I see mega deals with huge cap loans all the time in the 16 team and 20 team league, so I’m probably used to these more than most in a 12 teamer. If we don’t like these type of deals because of competitive balance, then I’m all for a league charter putting some standards or caps around how much cap a team can take on. But I think we have to do that in the offseason.
-
As for the trade: mega deals are hard to analyze. I think I can understand why Lake agreed to the deal. These are some good players with low salaries. Meanwhile the haul for AZ is great for a playoff push yet these players all get dropped in the winter because of a massive cap issue. So it’s a short term win for AZ and I’d like to see AZ renew his team for next season ASAP so he’s not abandoning a team without its best values.
-
Indian and all: it would be a lot easier to discuss league matters on the Ottoneu Slack, so I created a private channel for the league. Send me a message with your email address and I’ll invite you to the Slack & and that channel.
-
Hey Indian, I have a deal for you. How about you give me Alonso, Castellanos, Schwarber, Semien, Lynn, Musgrove and a $400 loan and I will give you Tellez and reluctantly Sam Huff. I am really going to miss Sam. Trust me man, you would be getting the best part of this deal.
-
And one of the participants is a league commissioner! Bluegrass and TBones are you in favor of this?
-
If this trade between Batflips and Rangers is approved, I am gone. I have never seen a trade this lopped sided and I have been playing fantasy baseball since it started (what 20 years ago). it is a joke and if approved all of you that approve it are a joke too. Maybe I take fantasy way too seriously.
-
So Kwang Hung Kim just got me -48 points. Is that some sort of record? Do I get a prize for that?

If you're going to get your trash talking inspiration from Taylor Swift, may I suggest you take "Blank Space" literally.

If I may quote Taylor Swift "Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate".

I wouldn't bet too much on the accuracy, but I think I counted 34 cap hits!

Permian, I find the absurdly number of your Cap Penalties disturbing.
-
As the newest member of this league I am hesitant to be too critical, however, I must say I find the almost complete lack of trash talk disturbing.
-
Hopefully the devil remembers that it’s a season long deal!
-
Hey Bluegrass, what kind of sacrifice did you make to the fantasy baseball gods to have this record with so few points scored? Tell us your secret.
-
I am going to veto this trade because I am bitter and vindictive and envious.
-
I can't wait to see how this Strasburg thing plays out.

Don’t worry Mr. Conspiracy, I have full confidence you will crush me like a snail on the sidewalk.

Did you intend to jinx me? Currently going against the two highest scores this week!
