I'll entertain any and all offers.
I'd like to get someone with decent speed and a high contact rating.
Kruk.
Now entertain him.

Okay, word around campfire is that Canseco is not a happy camper...and that he wants to play for the Empire with a heftier contract that you guys are unwilling to pay him.
I'll give you Barret for Ripken...You get some much needed speed, and I get some much needed pop...
word around the campfire is that you like the cock.
Canseco can hit his happy ass 8th if he's so fucking unhappy.
He's back in the cleanup spot. If he doesn't go yard next game, he'll hit 7th the next game. If he hasn't made a complete turn around by week 12, he'll be gone for the first decent offer out there.
The Empire is in good shape. We don't need to retool the team...we have all the role players in place. What we lack in power, we gain in doubles, speed, and heart.
We will win this. We got the pitching, defense, coaching, and offense to do it.
$20 American dollars says you won't win it.
I can't bet on my own team as the commissioner Ryno...
Barrett for Ripken? Hell, I'll offer Willie McGee for Jose Canseco, if we're going that route.

Ryno needs more team speed. Barret is a good role player who won't get doubled up so much. Through week 6, Barret is hitting .381 and Ripken .407...Plus Ryno has the worst team speed in the league. It's gonna kill him this year. I've seen many outs caused by Ryno's lack of speed.
Anyways, here are the stats through week 6. Ryno is gonna handle the stats from here...plus he knows sexier formulas that I am too lazy to look up again in my excel book for dummies...but I'll still be keeping stats, just ask Ryno for updated stats.
Also, I have to double check the stats. I feel stupid that I did not include Fielder's Choice in my sheets.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Sally Cunts send SS and part time acrobat, Ozzie Smith to the Blue Ribbons for that dreamy eyed sack of shit, Cal Ripken.
Ozzie will hit lead off for the Blue Ribbons.

To be more specific, it appears that I need a speedy IF.
The only other option is a blockbuster involving one of OF --- Canseco, Dw Evans, Gibson.
I'd let any of them go for the right deal.
For example --- one of my OF and Gagne / Teufel for a speedy OF and big time IF
Barret for Ripken?
I tried to find a nice package trade deal for us, but you don't have Empire type players...except for Canseco.
Canseco for Tramml
Ripken for Dykstra?
jk psyche...

Great deal for both parties. It's a pleasure working with you Ryno.
I'm looking to shake some shit up...
I'm not looking for particulars, just something different.

What???? Do I have any say, here?
Ryno has been hurting for a leadoff dude all year....
You gained some speed Ryno, but you did not gain any hitting. Your leadoff spot is jinxed lol...
Also, look for OSmith to hit a lot of pop ups....and under .400
To be honest, I don't know who got the better deal. Ripken can have some big days, but that does not happen very often. Plus he's shit in the clutch. I still don't get how Ripken does not do better in these fantasy leagues. He has a nice contact-power ratio...
I'd like to move that this trade be suspended until Mike D. and I can discuss the matter.
Actually, I suppose I'm fine with it.

Sorry Nacho...
It's official. MikeD is the owner and general manager for the Sally Cunts. The trade stands.
The Director of player personnel/player development does not carry the same weight as owners/general managers.

We co-own and manage the team. It's a joint effort.
I love this trade for the both teams. Ozzie was the weakest link in our lineup. We have plenty of speed throughout the lineup, but our 8 spot was absolute garbage. Sure he can hit dribblers and steal bases, and go 1st to 3rd when he's on base. Problem was, he never got on base. To date Ripken has the same number of doubles and triples as Ozzie, plus 2 homers. Sally Cunts biggest glaring weakness was a lack of power past Straw. Now we at least have some pop down low in the lineup. I couldn't stand watching another inning fizzle when The Wizard came up.
All that being said, Ryno gets what he needs. Good contact and great speed at the top of his lineup. And he gets to dump Ripken, who pissed him off just as much as Ozzie pissed me off.
TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT
Buckner (IF), Dykstra (OF), and Puhl (B) of the Galactic Empire
for
OSmith (IF), KGibson (OF), and Uribe (B) of the Pabst Blue Ribbons
The deal is official and will help both teams.
Ryno gets a legit lead-off hitter in Dykstra. Dykstra has more pop than Smith and can run. He does much better in the leadoff spot than any other spot. I had Dykstra in the leadoff spot last year, and he hit .581...
Also, Ryno gets Buckner and adds above average contact and average power. Buckner hit 9 jacks in season III.
And Ryno strengthens his bench with Puhl by getting great speed and good pop coming off the bench.
I get Gibson for this trade-off deal package. I get some power that I really need.
Win-win for both teams. The Pabst Blue Ribbons should be a better team now. The Empire's starting lineup has more pop now, but our bench is going to suck.
New ROMS on the way...
Gibson has been terrible. I've tried him all over the lineup (as I've done with the rest of my players) and he just isn't getting it done this year.
I need to roll the dice and see what happens ---- I need to get on a fucking streak.
Buckner is a gamer --- provides some intangibles.
Dykstra is pure grit and toughness. He'll set the table and get things started.
New Lineup:
1- Dykstra OF
2- Buckner IF
3- Canseco OF
4- Dw Evans OF
5- Gedman C
6- Teufel IF
7- Spilman IF
8- Gagne IF
Puhl B
Bush B
Pedriq B
Mazzili B
Well, I'm sure Gibson will be excited to come to the Empire. He fits our program well with his good contact, power, and speed. Were going to try and get Gibson to use the whole field. He only has 3 HR's this year, but we need to get him to concentrate on just getting hits and not trying to do too much.
Here is our new lineup:
1. Tramml IF
2. J.Rice OF
3. Mattngly IF
4. Murphy OF
5. Gibson OF
6. Heath C
7. Knight IF
8. Barret IF
1. OSmith Bench
2. Uribe Bench
3. Ford Bench
4. Bckmn Bench
If a new Rom is coming out I'm going to tinker with my lineup too...
1. Leonard
2. Bell
3. Boggs
4. Hrbeck
5. Maldonado
6. Whittaker
7. Molitor
8. Santiago
Why not.
we have another trade. . . ..
Repeat sends Alexander to Ryno for Witt
This deal is sure to lead me to 3-4 wind total this year. . . .maybe.
So... is trading closed then? I thought you said there could be trades between weeks 8-12, but that was about 3 days. At least it felt like it.
If not, I'm looking to ship Candy Maldonado and a bs infielder (sandberg, or molitor) for a decent infielder and a bs OF or bench.
I think we should be allowed to trade until darky starts week 14.
I think he said there would be some down time. . . . . .perfect timing for some last minute trades.
The trading deadline ended May 6 when week 13 started.
This thread started April 22, when trading begun after week 7.
Week 8 started April 24.
Week 13 started May 6.
There was plenty of time to get your trades in. If you fell asleep at the wheel, you only have yourself to blame.
The decision is final and I will not entertain any suggestions for any exceptions. It was no secret all season which weeks trading would be allowed.
hey darky can i trade before week 14?
