BBFTG 2006 Season Thread

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

is dotel still on waivers? I want him.
I claimed him first, so I have exclusive negotiating rights, If I can't reach a deal, it'll go to the second GM who claimed him (TKOK)

[AznInvasion]

Atl claims Juan Uribe.

[AznInvasion]

Atl cancels claim for Juan Uribe.

[redlegsfan21]

CIN waives Josh Hancock.

[redlegsfan21]

Waivers
Waivers just might be the most complicated single aspect of the rules. In the rule book, a waiver is defined as "... a permission granted for certain assignments of player contracts or for the unconditional release of a Major League player ..."

If a player placed on Major League waivers is not claimed by another team during the three business days after waivers have been requested, then the players is said to have "cleared waivers," and the team has secured waivers for the remainder of the waiver period.

And what does that mean? Essentially, the team can do with the player's contract as it pleases. This generally means one of three things:

(1) They can send him to the minors (subject to his consent, if he's a "Veteran Player," more on that below).

(2) They can release him, which makes the player a free agent and thus available to sign with any team.

(3) They can trade him to another team, even if the so-called "trading deadline" has passed. Any trades made after July 31 may only involve players who have cleared waivers.

If a player doesn't clear waivers -- in other words, if he's claimed by another team or teams -- the club requesting waivers may withdraw the waiver request.

If the club doesn't withdraw the waiver request, the player's contract is assigned in the following manner:


(A) If only one claim is entered, the player's contract is assigned to that claiming club.

(B) If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player.

(C) If clubs in both leagues claim the player, preference shall always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers.


There are other, more esoteric rules involved here. For example, during the first 30 days of the season, the previous season's final standings are used to determine claim order, rather than the current standings.

[Gashouse6]

1,000th post!!!:D

[Erik Bedard]

So it looks like I have priority, as he was waived by TB, who is in the AL, and I have the worst record among the teams in the AL that claimed him.

[JordanDL3891]

nope, its the lowest reccord which I have out of the people that claim him.

Division means nothing when it comes to clamming.

[Erik Bedard]

nope, its the lowest reccord which I have out of the people that claim him.

Division means nothing when it comes to clamming.

According to nascarfn5's post above, I have priority.


(A) If only one claim is entered, the player's contract is assigned to that claiming club.

(B) If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player.

(C) If clubs in both leagues claim the player, preference shall always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers.

(A) Five teams, not just one, claimed him.

(B) We had clubs from both leagues claiming him.

(C) I am in the same league as TB.

By virtue of (C), I get priority over HOU and PIT. By virtue of (B), I get priority over WAS and NYY.

[JordanDL3891]

jeeze man, C is IF there is like a tie, see it says prefered. But 1st it goes to the person whos lowest in standings.

whats with your sig? are you being sarcastic, or are you a boston tratior


Yankees are on their way to #27!!
All Hail Steinbrenner!!!
We massacred Boston....again!!!
I pledge my loyalty to the all-mighty Yankees!!!
Derek Jeter for MVP!!!

[Erik Bedard]

whats with your sig? are you being sarcastic, or are you a boston tratior

I lost a bet.

Also, (B) doesn't apply. (C) does.

[JordanDL3891]

o yea, YL said over IM "thanks for reminding me, I had a bet with Erik Bedard"

:D

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

What do you guys think of my video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1uOxy94jw8

[Erik Bedard]

Meh. No Bedard, too many Yanks, no O's.

[JordanDL3891]

nice movie, good woork :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Meh. No Bedard, too many Yanks, no O's.
I'm saving Bedard for my Canadians one.

RP Octavio Dotel

[AznInvasion]

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

for
RP Octavio Dotel

WHOA!!!! I have negotiating rights for Dotel!

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

WHOA!!!! I have negotiating rights for Dotel!
Yeah, but, he agreed to deal him to me, I can deal him to you now if you want.

I had made a personal deal with JF7, he wanted to do something involving the BBFTG, so he dealt me Dotel in exchange.

I will deal him to you for a prospect closer, since, I need one or a veteran reliever.

[JordanDL3891]

Im interested

[Erik Bedard]

YL, is the Injury List updated?

EDIT: I see that it was last edited four days ago, in which case, I activate M. Timlin and A. Pierzynski from the DL, corresponding moves upcoming.

[Erik Bedard]

M. Wagner optioned to AA Portland. I had already activated Timlin and optioned L. DiNardo down, so I don't have to make another roster move.

[redlegsfan21]

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Neifi Perez on irrevocale waivers, anyone interested in versatile 2B who can actually hit?

[redlegsfan21]

CIN takes Ryan Freel off waivers.

[JordanDL3891]

this isnt right, we are still trading even though the trade deadline is over. We are just using different words for it.

Doesn't the proposed trade have to pass through a "waivers" too?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

this isnt right, we are still trading even though the trade deadline is over. We are just using different words for it.

Doesn't the proposed trade have to pass through a "waivers" too?
Yes!!!

All players on 40-man MUST pass thru waivers, starting August 26th, no MORE waiver dealing.

[JordanDL3891]

unless they have allready past thru waivers this season or have options left over?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

unless they have allready past thru waivers this season or have options left over?
No.

To make a waiver deal, all players on 40-man must passs thru waivers.

[Erik Bedard]

Hmmm... this sounds a lot like what I was saying earlier.

Anyway, under the old rules, BOS acquires Rob Stiehl and Jeff Bagwell from HOU for Chris Reitsma.

[JordanDL3891]

yea we had that in the works for a while :D

man im a hypocrit today. :crazy

[Erik Bedard]

BOS (except S. Podsednik, P. Wilson, and J. Bagwell, who have already been placed on waivers this month) is placed on waivers.

[Erik Bedard]

Jordan, I told my brother (Johnny Seven) that Clemens was on waivers, and he keeps bugging me to get off the computer so he can work out a deal. Just letting you know.

[JordanDL3891]

ok sounds good :clapping

enjoy the .180 hitting bagwell and the rest of his 18mil contract :D

[Erik Bedard]

Enjoy Reitsma's 6+ ERA, and I'll enjoy Rob Stiehl.

[JordanDL3891]

and Bags!

Yea I allready noticed his high era, im not worried, its better than Hirsh's 8 :) so its an improvement :laugh

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Come on guys, Neifi Perez is still on waivers, please claim him!

[JordanDL3891]

and your the one that said no more waivers :laugh

[redlegsfan21]

Come on guys, Neifi Perez is still on waivers, please claim him!
How long has he been on waivers.

[Reed Johnson]

PHI revokes waivers on Bobby Abreu. The king of kings didn't respond to my PM so tough luck.

[Reed Johnson]

Philly place Randy Wolf on waivers.

[AznInvasion]

Atl claims Randy Wolf.

[Erik Bedard]

I believe the actual rules are: After August 1st, players may be placed on waivers. If that player is on waivers for more than 48 hours, he may be traded to any team. It is common practice for entire teams to be placed on waivers. If a player who was on waivers is claimed by another team, the team that placed the player on waivers has 48 hours to work out a deal with the player that claimed him, or lose him. If a team claims a player on waivers other than a team the team who placed the player on waivers is interested in working out a deal with, the team may revoke the waiver. But any player may only be placed on waivers once in a month, so the player whose waiver was revoked may not be traded until the offseason.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

How long has he been on waivers.
About 36 hours

[Yankee Legend]

The game will be on pause from Aug 26-30 because I'm on vacation to Canada. I will be back on Thursday. After that I will sim twice a day until we catch up again.

[Erik Bedard]

Where? I've been to every single one of the Eastern provinces, but never west of Toronto.

[Yankee Legend]

Where? I've been to every single one of the Eastern provinces, but never west of Toronto.

St. John's and Nova Scotia

Wilk: Are we using this or not?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Wilk: Are we using this or not?
Of course we are, I've been saying this since the beginning.

[Erik Bedard]

Addendum to what I posted before: Only players who clear waivers can be traded for players on the 40-man roster.

[TheKingofKings]

PM me your offer and what team are you?

The Phillies place closer Tom Gordon on waivers.

Pit claims gOrdon , i won,t be online this week I will only be on on the weekend and don,t worry I will respond to your PMs this time .

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Nationals buy out the contract of Andy Pettitte and re-sign him to a more affordable contract, 3-year $30 million.

The Nationals decline the team option on Mike Mussina for the 2007 season.

[JordanDL3891]

and how did you get that done? lol you couldnt ask your self on the 10mil per year.

your not gonna keep the united old yankees together? Mussina and Andy? how sad :(

[Erik Bedard]

Blame me for that one.

[JordanDL3891]

why?


:confused:

[Erik Bedard]

I refused to let him sign Mussina.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

Deadline for final submissions for the BBFTG Player Photo Challenge is in 7 minutes.

Saw that, thanks. Start scoring!

[Mariano_Rivera]

Sheffield is in just so you know
What do you mean?

I`m sorry for not being on much I`m going to be a little inactive and I will resign people in the off-season. Does anyone have a big bat on waivers I have NO offense and tons of pitching.

(I ment player pics, on the player pic competition)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I put "Simple Plan- Untitled" as our theme for the week.

It's a good song.

If you're smart and you know how to "manipulate" the address bar you can download it...

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Also, if it ask you to run an ActiveX control pop-up, click yes.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Let's see how long it takes for you guys to download the song (there is no link, use your minds) :D ;)

[JordanDL3891]

the full version of around the BBFTG with J25nadroj2042 is up on the blog!

(www.bbftg.blogspot.com) check it out! every team is on it.


Now for my next project :D which is planned for tommarow afternoon which could be moved to fri afternoon

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Nice article Jordan!

Man, you have talent!

[JordanDL3891]

talent not in spelling :D


now if you didnt notice, or anyone, I had to print screen 20 times, save each one as a pic, and slowly upload them threw Image Shack. and I also had to find out how to make it work, I found it starts with the last one, so I had to load them up backwords, then I noticed that you can only have 10 per post, so I posted it and posted the 1st 10 again. It worked out cause its still in order.

You will like what I got planned next :D

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

You will like what I got planned next :D
And may we have a hint ??? :confused: ;)

[JordanDL3891]

um, I dono, can you? may you, I dont think so, I wana supprise you all, just like I supprised you with your little write up and not just pmming it to you.


the best hint I can give, is it's a current event in BBFTG that its based on, no guesses, and no one is allowed to copy if they think they know :D

[TheKingofKings]

PIT places INFs David Bell and Nick Johnson and P Esteban Yan on waivers .

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

PIT places INFs David Bell and Nick Johnson and P Esteban Yan on waivers .
Nats claim Johnson.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Nationals designate Jorge Sosa for assignement, purchase the contract of Roy Corcoran from Harrisburg (AA).
Nationals designate Mike Sweeney for assignement, purchase the contract of Brandon Larsen from New Orleans (AAA).

EDIT: Nationals acquire Doug Mentkiewicz, Nick Johnson and Esteban Yan for Mike Sweeney, Jorge Sosa and Santiago Ramirez.

They all passed thru waivers, Johnson and Mientkiewicz were on waivers, Sweeney's on waivers and injured and Sosa was DFA'ed, Ramirez is not on 40-man

AND THAT DOES IT, TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR WAIVER DEALS AND THAT WAS THE LAST ONE, UNLESS SOMEONE CAN DEAL IN NEXT 15 MINUTES.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I will be away from Friday to Monday.

Just a heads-up.

I am taking a much needed mini-vacation.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

The votes are in and... We still need Outta Here's. After that I'l tally 'em up, and let you guys know the winner.

[Erik Bedard]

Outta Here never got back to me about joining. I haven't voted yet either.

[TheKingofKings]

Outta Here never got back to me about joining. I haven't voted yet either.

Who would he be the GM of ???

[JordanDL3891]

I dono, we havent heard much from KC, DET or SEA lately. Maybe there just doing the same thing the Mets GM is doing right now.

[Yankee Legend]

gAME RESUMES. cAN YOU PLEASE PM TRADES THAT WERE MADE?

Note: Caps lock was on

[TheKingofKings]

gAME RESUMES. cAN YOU PLEASE PM TRADES THAT WERE MADE?

Note: Caps lock was on

I PMed you mine .

[Yankee Legend]

I resign as NYY gm.

[AznInvasion]

?????????? what?

[TheKingofKings]

I resign as NYY gm.
Why ???
Are you still Moguling for us ???

[Gashouse6]

I resign as NYY gm.
Are you sure you want to do that? The game's still on though, right?

[JordanDL3891]

I resign as NYY gm.

then what you said on IM last night was all crap. :evil


o well, there goes bbftg, time to find another thing to do.


EDIT:

6 min earlier you said this:


gAME RESUMES. cAN YOU PLEASE PM TRADES THAT WERE MADE?

I see you know how to change your mind reallly quickly

...so much for resuming games.

[Yankee Legend]

I'm sorry guys. It's a very personal reason. I can't do this nor can I go on BBF anymore.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

YL, I hope that it's not something terrible. All the best to you.

So, is there anyone who can take the helm? I would, but I don't have mogul...

[Erik Bedard]

Eventually I might be able to, but not immediately. First I'd have to get Boot Camp and Mogul.

[Reed Johnson]

WTF? So somethingt came up in three hours because three hours before you said you were quitting you said the game was back on.......

I dont see how any personal reason would be keeping you from BBF.....

[TheKingofKings]

Hopefully we will find another simmer and move on .

[Gashouse6]

What about this season? Is it just over then.

[TheKingofKings]

What about this season? Is it just over then.

Poor us , Wilk is on vacation 'til Tuesday .

[redlegsfan21]

Poor us , Wilk is on vacation 'til Tuesday .
I don't think I'd want to be around him when he finds out.

[TheKingofKings]

I don't think I'd want to be around him when he finds out.
I know him personally and you are right , he'll probably freakout .

[JordanDL3891]

yea, I sent him an e-mail this morning. woops :o

[JordanDL3891]

I just e-mailed YL, the subject was please read this, (I aint mad at you :laugh )

and I told him at the end of 50 good lucks to please send me the mogul 07 file.

I dont have the full version, but I know either wilk, Erik, or I will buy it for sure.

We should put (or wilk can when he comes back) a notice somewhere on the forums that we are in need of someone who can sim for us. And we should mention its a lot of work.

I know it would be hard if I did this because of school, but I like this so much, if I had to I would consider it.

in any event, hopefully I can get the saved game file and give it to someone else when they get mogul, or to someone who allready has it.

[JordanDL3891]

If that doesnt work, we could just end the season and say it finished by its overall pts. Then we can just restart BBFTG for the 2nd. time

[JordanDL3891]

it looks like either Out of here, or the old cubs gm (the 1st one, who said he had to leave) will take over as the Yankees GM.

that is if we ever get the file from yl :p

I have been talking to the old cubs gm over IM, and he said he was interested and told me to post here that he is interested and he will think about it.

[Cubsfan97]

I will confirm if ya want me back, I will come back. However normally I ask 5.00 million salary, but since its the Yanbkees I want 20.00 million. lol jk.

[JordanDL3891]

lol welcome back, I think we will expand next year so others like Outta Here can join.


I got VERY good news, YL gave me the file!!!!!

now I can give it to someone who has mogul

[AznInvasion]

I don't have full version either but I'd consider buying it if need be. Why expand? I still think we need 20 active GM's before we expand. Otherwise it's really not worth it. If someone wants to join, they can just replace a non-active GM.

[JordanDL3891]

like who? the mets GM is active. He just reads the stuff but doesnt post, YL told me that.

[AznInvasion]

not the Mets...I know he can be active if he wants to at anytime. Mainly the guys at the bottom of the standings are the inactive ones. (tigers, royals, etc.)

[JordanDL3891]

heres a list:

Kansas
Detroit
Toronto?
Seattle?

NOT:
Mets
Reds
Brewers

Devil Rays?
Rangers?

all others are occupied.

[Cubsfan97]

So Im the Yankees GM now? Are we done for this season or are we continueing?

[JordanDL3891]

is the yankees who you want? theres others open


I dont think were done for the season, we wont be if Steve buys mogul 07 cause I have the file to give to him. Or anyone else, if someone else buys it or has it.

[Cubsfan97]

Yea, Ill take the Yankees. Thanks for accepting me back into the game.

[JordanDL3891]

yea, its cool to have you back, its also cool that YL's replacement is an experienced person.

[AznInvasion]

I'm making arrangements to acquire the 2007 Mogul game. It looks like I'll be able to sim for us once I get it. I'm not sure when this will be yet though. Hey Jordan can u send me the files? My email is: Oliverklosov2003@yahoo.com
Thx,

Andy

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

Are we sure that he's gone? It didn't really sound like him... Maybe I'm just naive. Does anyone know for sure?


Edit: What am I saying?? Bedard isn't even in the game. Now I'm just waiting for one person to clear up a mistake in their rankings, and for Wilk to come back and re-send me his rankings. It's a close race for now:


??? - 23 points
??? - 24 points
??? - 15 points
??? - 20 points
??? - 37 points
??? - 31 points
??? - 22 points
??? - 32 points

[JordanDL3891]

lol azn I was gonna buy it to, how about I finish this year and you can continue next year with mogul 08.

[AznInvasion]

Actually I'm getting it for free.... from a friend. It's actually the mets GM. I'd like to do it this year too though.

[JordanDL3891]

ugg, then who will next year?

cant you? and i'll finish this year?

im planning to but it from amazon

[JordanDL3891]

Are we sure that he's gone? It didn't really sound like him... Maybe I'm just naive. Does anyone know for sure?

no hes done, and I know why, i have been in contact with him through e-mail and IM, he wont be visiting the BBF forums for a while, though he can still visit the blog.

When he comes back (if he ever does), we have other teams he can take over. but if he comes back, it wont be for a long time, like maybe next summer.

[JordanDL3891]

that makes 2 ppl with mogul cause I allready bought it

i'll have it in about 3 days.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I don't think I'd want to be around him when he finds out.


Oh my god!
What a headache.

I just got back from vacation now and I realise that I should have never left.

YL resigns and GM and simmer, the game is in jeopardy.

What the heck do we do now?

I mean, I don't have Mogul 2007 and I certainly can't sim every day this year, however, I had a discussion with YL on AIM before I left on vacation (Friday) and he told me that he wouldn't have simmed next year because he's headed to university.

I told him I'd do it once I bought MOgul 2008.

So this is how it's going to work, no need to panic.

Someone else with Mogul 07 needs to sim daily and find the time to do it. I can't right now but I will next year once I get Mogul 08.

Oh my god, I can't organise my theories, I'm banged up right now :ughh

[Erik Bedard]

It's OK, just read the posts. I would if nobody else did, but I might have to sim the CPFD league, and I would rather use OOTP for that.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

Wilk, I know you're prety busy right now, but could you send me your votes for the Photo game? There was one more entry since you voted. And you can't vote for yourself.

Check your PM's (although I'm sure you have a bunch).

Thanks.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Just use the same ones without my name and bump everyone up.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

You didn't Include Jordan's pic. Sheffield. Please just send me the rankings again.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Offseason agenda:

I will downgrade the league, remove some teams with inactive GM's.
-I will get rid of these teams:
AL EAST: none
NL WEST: Detroit Tigers
AL WEST: Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers
NL EAST: Pittsburgh Pirates (per request of TKOK)

[Mariano_Rivera]

I resign as NYY gm.
That's not good. I hope things are okay.

Who will sim?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

That's not good. I hope things are okay.

Who will sim?
for now Jordan will sim and next season I will.

[Mariano_Rivera]

for now Jordan will sim and next season I will.

Okay, well at least that's good news at least.

Can I take over the Yankees only with Toronto's rotation?

[Reed Johnson]

Someone has taken over the Yankees and you cant switch teams.... you already found that out when I wanted the Jays, duh.

[Cubsfan97]

When do we plan on starting the game again? I really wanna take ovewr my 1st place Yankees. lol

[JordanDL3891]

I will get the game about sat, thats the plan!

I ordered it from Amazon when I heard YL was unable.

[AznInvasion]

Offseason agenda:

I will downgrade the league, remove some teams with inactive GM's.
-I will get rid of these teams:
AL EAST: none
NL WEST: Detroit Tigers
AL WEST: Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers
NL EAST: Pittsburgh Pirates (per request of TKOK)

You sure about that? Downgrading is kinda risky. What do we do with these teams cuz they have players from everywhere on them. We essentially saying goodbye to a bunch of players. We also going down to 16 teams which is only about half of the MLB teams. The divisions might be too small with this few teams. (like 4 teams per divison if we downgrade)

[Cubsfan97]

we could go old school format and have no divisions, just leagues. 8 team leagues could work, then the best of each league could play in the World Series. Just a suggestion though.

[Erik Bedard]

:ughh

I really wanted to be moved out of the AL East. Ah well, guess that's not happening.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

:ughh

I really wanted to be moved out of the AL East. Ah well, guess that's not happening.
what?

You will!

[JordanDL3891]

i dont like downgrading. I bet we can find active GM's. Remeber when you started this, you told everyone to go find 10! well I dono if that worked, cause I just stumbled across it myslef when looking for a place to showoff my ballparks. I saw the orig one when I joined in Jan-feb (under a dif sn) and It looked cool, thats why I joined this.

Sure we all found 5 each, but how many are active?

0? 1? maybe 2?

There aren't enough members active and devoted enough to have 20 teams.

It is not final yet, I may decide to expand or keep the league the same and re-align the divisions.

[JordanDL3891]

but your killing more players!

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I will downgrade the league, remove some teams with inactive GM's.

-I will get rid of these teams because of inactive GM's
AL EAST: none
NL WEST: Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates
AL WEST: Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers

I will add these teams to balance the league.

1) Oakland Athletics

[JordanDL3891]

mm, pretty cool, why Oakland? someone wanted to join and picked oakland? or did you just throw it in. (if you did, then dont add it I hate oakland :p )

I would like to see Baltimore in it maybe.



Divisions, really cool, but I will easily win mine next year, it would be a tough division, but I would like to be in the Wily Mays Division, that way I will stay as a NL team, and with the cards and giants! I really want to stay with the cards and hopefully the giants. It makes it harder but funner.

[Erik Bedard]

Same here.

Add a decent team, like Baltimore. :gt

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Same here.

Add a decent team, like Baltimore. :gt
Guys, the divisions will stay accordingly.

They are evenly matched.

I might consider the O's if no A fan joins, though I have one in mind.

[Erik Bedard]

Come on, add the O's. I need a decent pitcher! (hint hint)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Come on, add the O's. I need a decent pitcher! (hint hint)
I'll consider it. :p

[Erik Bedard]

I'll consider it. :p

I could probably get a GM, too.

[JordanDL3891]

heres an idea:

NL:

George Herman Ruth East Division:
Mets
Nationals
Phillies
Pirates
Devil Rays

Wily Mays West Division:
Cardinals
Cubs
Astros
Royals
Reds

AL:

Andre Dawson East Division:
Yankees
Braves
Red Sox
Blue Jays

Mike Schmidt West Division:
Giants
White Sox
Athletics
Brewers

I couldnt keep the Giants in my division, if I did, then the White Sox and Cubs would be in the same division. O and steve, don't take the Yankees and Redsox out of the AL.

[JordanDL3891]

sry I had not refreshed, as far as I knew, the last post was mine when I just posted that last thing.

But still, I dont think the Yankees should be in the NL.

[Mariano_Rivera]

How does my team get stuck with Boston, Atlanta and New York :crazy I am not in luck here :grouchy

Also how about making the Andre Dawson one (who is he??!!) either Jackie Robinson or Honus Wagner.

[JordanDL3891]

it should be one of the more popular remainding team that gets the spot.

Either BAL or LAD.


the most popular means fans, fans mean more people that would be interested in taking that team.

On the other side of the fence of Erik Bedard, it should be a team that does well. I think the Dodgers are leading there division.

[JordanDL3891]

ok, switch braves with phillies.

edit: or not lol, cause the sox are doing bad in bbftg, thats why I thought the braves should be in it.

[Erik Bedard]

ok, switch braves with phillies.

edit: or not lol, cause the sox are doing bad in bbftg, thats why I thought the braves should be in it.

But they have the best farm system in the whole BBFTG (assming Jon Lester doesn't get cancer here).

[JordanDL3891]

whats wrong with him?

and you have a new curse:

Papi = Heart problems
Lester = cancer?
Jason V. = Injured, back now
Manny = was injured

= 2-14, 9 games back

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Steve Irwin is dead :ughh

What a sad story :(

May his memory last in everyone hears :ughh

[JordanDL3891]

and you JUST heard it?

he died monday morn????



:D

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

and you JUST heard it?

:D
Actually, my mother just told me.

I didn't realise it until she told me his name.

That was yesterday :D

[JordanDL3891]

the mods are gonna start yelling at you for having a big sig :D

[redlegsfan21]

Steve Irwin is dead :ughh

In your sig, you need a period after P.

[Mariano_Rivera]

lol no kidding, does anyone have a good offensive player on waivers, I have literally no offense whatsoever.

[Reed Johnson]

Please dont add the O's. Add the A's just like you intended.

[Erik Bedard]

lol no kidding, does anyone have a good offensive player on waivers, I have literally no offense whatsoever.

We can't trade any more.

[Mariano_Rivera]

We can't trade any more.
Oh, okay :)

[JordanDL3891]

Please dont add the O's. Add the A's just like you intended.
why you say that?

I think it should be a team from the NL west (in MLB) I dont think there is anyone from it other than the giants.

Thats why I say the Dodgers.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

If anyone would like to abolish their teams, as TKOK requested, please inform me as I will add other teams.

I will add both the O's and A's for now, if someone else requests their team is abolished then I will add the Dodgers.

In the offseason you will be allowed to switch teams under my authorization

[JordanDL3891]

In the offseason you will be allowed to switch teams under my authorization
thats nice, now maybe the GM of TOR this year, will switch with the GM of PHI.


though the yankees are my favorite team, I Plan to stay with the Astros.

[Erik Bedard]

Aw, now I have to choose. Darn it! Ah, what the heck. I'll stick with the Red Sox, maybe try and swing a trade.

[Gashouse6]

I'm staying with my Cards.

[AznInvasion]

i thought YL deleted the players from the other teams. I should be getting mogul 07 in a few days btw. I'm not crazy about deleting or adding teams. Deleting teams isn't a good idea in my opinion. I'll prolly stay with my braves cuz I worked pretty hard on them.

[Cubsfan97]

Im gonna stck with the Yankees, cause by the end of the season I will be used to them and wont wanna start over at another team.

[Richmond Hill Phoenix]

I might as well say that I am sticking with the White Sox (unless I get an offer I can't refuse ;) ). I'm kinda familiar with their minor leaguers, so I'll stay here.

[JordanDL3891]

I put up a new post on the blog

I heard rumor that 08 will let you bring back teams?
and that wilk is gonna get it when it comes out, and will sim the 2007 after I finish up the 06 season for YL. 1st game sence break planned for sat.

[TheKingofKings]

I think it is a good idea to add teams , bring in new blood ...

[AznInvasion]

Check this out! I decided to post this since there ain't much else going on lately.

[Reed Johnson]

so what team will TKOK take?

[JordanDL3891]

the best of the new ones, he wants out of pitsburgh cause they suck.

[Cubsfan97]

I have a friend who might come in as a GM. He wants a list of open teams though, so can yall give me a list? Thanks.

[JordanDL3891]

I dono who TKOK wants, but it looks like Oakland, Baltimore are open for next year, and this year, Tigers, Royals, (seattle?) Rangers. Rangers is the best choice, there leading there division.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

TKOK wants Oakland.

[TheKingofKings]

TKOK wants Oakland.
That's right !!!

[TheKingofKings]

Check this out! I decided to post this since there ain't much else going on lately.

[AznInvasion]

what u don't like it? Go to the website...it's pretty funny.

[TheKingofKings]

I just don't get the point and meaning of it ???

[AznInvasion]

How about this one?

[rockiesfan4ever]

So IDG what is happening could I abolish my team and get the Rockies?

[redlegsfan21]

I want to abolish the Reds and get a completely new all-star team known as the Cincinnati Reds.

[JordanDL3891]

lol, shocked why not the marlins.


I guess you could, but dont get rid of the giants, get rid of someone else :D

like this, PHI and TOR switch, new PHI switches with SF, you delete PHI and get COL!

the giants have to pretty of a park to get rid of, and we need more NL west teams.

[redlegsfan21]

Because, even when the Marlin bit me, I still bled Cincinnati Red.

[JordanDL3891]

that makes no sence, the reds are better, better reccord.

Marlins suck! what do you like about them?

[redlegsfan21]

that makes no sence, the reds are better, better reccord.

Marlins suck! what do you like about them?
Marlins are 70-70
Reds are 69-71

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Marlins are 70-70
Reds are 69-71
ok.

but this is the BBFTG.

How do you guys like the standings on the sidebar? in the site.

[JordanDL3891]

looks good, read the comment i put up, why is there links above the header? move them, can you put anything on the right? if so put the standings there, and can we cut the cursing out of the song? I just went to site and the 1st thing I hear is "o sh!t"

[EvanAparra]

Hey guys, are there any teams open for next year??

[rockiesfan4ever]

Ok I want the Rockies because I know the team better

[JordanDL3891]

ok IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE:


if there are any deals that were made, that are NOT on wilks transaction list, tell me NOW by PM ONLY.

after the 1st game I sim, if you make any changes to your lineup pm me them. I will NOT look at the lineup theard before I start simming a game.

[AznInvasion]

I just installed mogul 07.

[JordanDL3891]

I did to, I got it today.

[Erik Bedard]

Hey guys, are there any teams open for next year??

There are a lot. Who would you like?

You can't have the Red Sox, though, they're mine. :D I see you live in Austin, you can have the Rangers if you like.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

JORDAN:

I can't be on tonight, please check season thread for trades.

[rockiesfan4ever]

So we are strting over or keeping the rosters the same, and I get the Rockies right?

[TheKingofKings]

We are keeping the current rosters and I don't know if you're getting the Rockies ???

[JordanDL3891]

not till the season ends, and as of now, CIN has Nick Johnson because I can't make any trades because YL had trade deadline set on mogul also. I e-mailed him on how he did these odd waiver deal things, he hasn't responded yet.

[JordanDL3891]

I got no pm's yet guys, come on, if you want your rosters updated and stuff, it would be very nice if you pm it! and any transactions that is not on the transaction master list.

[TheKingofKings]

I got no pm's yet guys, come on, if you want your rosters updated and stuff, it would be very nice if you pm it! and any transactions that is not on the transaction master list.

I dealt OF Prospect Raul Gonzalez to CIN for Brandon Phillips
PIT deals Sean Casey to CIN for NICK JOHNSON
Wilk please post the JOHNSON-Sosa deal we did previously , Thx .

[JordanDL3891]

lol, thanks I got that, but did you see the other comment? I have on the transaction thread?

[TheKingofKings]

lol, thanks I got that, but did you see the other comment? I have on the transaction thread?

Gashouse probably NEVER updates his team roster , I think he was dealt from STL to CIN to PIT and back to WAS .

[JordanDL3891]

I found the johnson to washington deal on the blog, the only problem is Santiago Ramirez doesn't exist in Mogul 07.

and it was from the saved file YL gave me that had him on the cards, maybe CIN never got him? as I said, talk to CIN, as of now, I did the 2 deals, but I didnt move Ramirez as he doesnt exist, and i kept the other guy with the cards.

[TheKingofKings]

BTW it does not matter if Santiago does not exist since I am moving to the A's in the offseason .

[JordanDL3891]

o I found the name: Raul Gonzalez

[TheKingofKings]

lol k :laugh


o I found the name: Raul Gonzalez

I don't know how he ended up in STL , I never even made a trade with STL all year long ???

[JordanDL3891]

well until you talk to gas, I cant move him from the cards.

[rockiesfan4ever]

OK Thanks for clearing it up

[JordanDL3891]

yea no problem.


I'll be gone all day, so results will be up tonight? i hope.

[Erik Bedard]

Jordan, who is Jeremy West and why is he on my team?

[AznInvasion]

Why are my games so high scoring now? My pitching has gone to dirt. Any hopes of catching the mets are gone practically for me. I was on a winning streak with YL so I'm a little annoyed. Oh well my offense is crushing though.

[redlegsfan21]

I was looking at my pitching and I'm like ouch. But my offense actually did something.

[TheKingofKings]

Why are my games so high scoring now? My pitching has gone to dirt. Any hopes of catching the mets are gone practically for me. I was on a winning streak with YL so I'm a little annoyed. Oh well my offense is crushing though.
Do you think Jordan or anybody in this Game knows why your games are so high scoring ???

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

What do you all think of the new logo?

[JordanDL3891]

nice, and that was the 2,000th reply in this thread.
