FYI, I have empaneled a Blue Chip Commission to review the pending trades and other trades moving forward. I will post their findings once I receive their report.

[nomaaa]

Never heard of it.

And 'yoffs was an attempt to translate from Old Man to Steeze for nomaaa.

it was appreciated

He>I

Please unpack.

He (GOD) is greater than I

These stickers can't only be an AZ thing. First thought it was some stupid clothing brand because I read it as HEKI with a backwards K. Nope. It's the Lord.

"Hey, guys, the Jesus fish has become common enough that everyone recognizes it and knows what it is.  Any ideas for ways we can confuse people again?  Oh, and I'd really like to go after the market that also would buy a '26.2' sticker."

This is good.

You were late to our phone conference and not fully prepared with the objections the Blue Chip Commission presented. Lord Vader will not be so compassionate next time around. Redo the reasoning and show the number values the way Lord Vader instructed you to highlight.

After receiving input from the Blue Chip Commission, I am allowing the trade between the Canadian Shooties and the Seymour Chili's. While it's not a trade I would make, I can see the rationale behind it - SC is getting the best player of the six (McGwire) going his way. This is not a situation where an owner was clearly not of the right mind and was making irrational decisions that would have dramatically impacted the rest of the league. (Call it the Leonard Tose Rule.)

[Reds]

The Chili's are proud to announce a trade with Rock City.  Darryl Strawberry and Gary Pettis have been traded for Chili Davis and Vince Coleman. The Chili's are excited to welcome these two outstanding young men to the team. Here in Seymour, we hate to see high level talent leave, but we believe that this move was made in the interest of improving the total lineup. We have asked Mr. Srawberry on several occasions to seek help for what the team doctor calls a 'substance abuse' issue. But since Darryl has refused treatment, we feel it is in the best interest of the team to move on.

We are excited to see the revamped lineup and improved results on the field with these young men.

We wish Darryl and Gary the best in all of their future endeavors.

[Shooty]

Did this go through the Blue Ribbon Trade Commission Panel??!??

[Darky]

Chili Davis plays for the EZ Listeners, lol!

[fightonusc]

Pretty sure the deal I approved was Candy Maldonado & Vince Coleman for Darryl Strawberry and Gary Pettis.

[Reds]

Oh wait. Yeah. I'm stoned.

[Reds]

Heh.

[GDavis]

"This chili tastes weird"

[Darky]

Reds, what's your new lineup? Let's see how your remodeled car runs! I gotta say, I like the changes Reds made. McGwir is going to instantly boost his offense since he'll be good for 4-5 hits a game with a jack or two. McGwir wasn't himself with the Shooties. Getting Candy was huge because Candy is consistent with hits and power. Coleman will be a serious weapon any time he gets a hit, but that's if he beats out Lindmn for the OF job.

nomaaa gets Strwby in his lineup instead of the Candyman. If Strwby plays the way he normally does, he'll be a boost for the Diplomats. Weird that Strwby was struggling so bad with the Chili's. Gotta say he didn't like the leadoff spot since he needed a bit more time to settle down after his ritual of doing lines and drinking before the game.

The Shooties trade was also solid. If Murphy and DwEvans continue to have subpar years, then uh oh! McGwir is a huge stick to lose, so ballsy of Shooty to let him go. J.Clark is solid and can have big games, but then he can also disappear. Team speed will be horrible for the Shooties, so we may see a lot of outs via putouts and double plays.

Anyways, we'll see how it all works out.

Shooty and nomaaa, please post your new lineups so I can do some scouting on my rom and the Fantasy World and media would like to know rather than speculate on Fantasy Center News.
