Dateline: Today 6:43 PM
After losing his fucking mind, the owner of the Hoggs, Ryno23, was found dead on his south arkansas toilet. Cause of death is not yet known, but upon investigation the authorities found 18 cases of empty Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream pie boxes -- not the little ones -- the giant $2.50 per box ones.
Upon review of Ryno23's last will and testament, it was found that he left his Fantasy Str8 League team to his best friend, The RedBaron.
In attempt to keep the Spirit of the Hoggs alive -- and to continue the streak of stupidity going strong, the RedBaron has negotiated a trade with the Poopy Butts.
The Hoggs, under new ownership, have traded staff ace Bert Blyleven for Poopybutt start, Rick "Red Baron" Sutcliffe.
When asked for his comment, GM RedBaron said "who the fuck is Bert Blylleven any way? I mean the guy hasn't got a cool nickname. Who gives a shit about stamina and what not --- this team is owned by the RedBaron and by god they will have the original Red Baron leading our pitching staff."
Poopybutt's GM, Gantry Zettler could only utter these words, "What a fucking dumbass. . . . wow. . .. .no speech here. . . . damn."
At the time of this story, neither player could be reached for comment.
Almost half of the Hoggs are National League All-Stars now.
Welcome home Bertus...

Man, I only have 1 Am OR Na allstar on my team, and he isn't even a batter.

The dee_nee str8 League ROM on the sticky thread is missing the Sutcliffe/Blyleven trade...

Joe, is it just the file thats already on the server, or are you unable to upload it into the editor? Even if the file on the server is spanked, you should be able to still upload a copy of it and overwrite the exiting one on the server.
I just uploaded it, modified it, and it worked for me. Attached.
So this is the completely up-to-date version?
When I log in, it shows nothing under "my roms" section...that's where it used to be.
joe is still in shock that i'd actually trade bert for the baron.

I took it from the consolidated details stickty thread, and switched Bly and Sutcliffe. It's never safe to assume, but i'd imagine it should be up to date otherwise.
i've logged in and the site no longer has the roms i made under 'my roms'
all you have to do is upload from your computer and go from there.

I'm still in shock too. So how's the Red Baron working out so far? Any regrets?

nope. that was a pure lack of hitting on my part.
terrible timing and some shoddy fielding did me in.
fernando didn't have a knuckler either.
IM me or PM me via the boards when things like this happen. Fixed, although I'm still puzzled as to how it happened ...
