Dee-Nee's vs. Dah Nah's

[Lips]

Ahhh...so quickly the "We're gonna kill the Dee-Nee's" goto "Can we have a re-draft?"

Rest in peace, Dah-Nah's!!!!!!!!

[Vitb6]

AMEN Lips!  SUCKA, you were playing hardball by not letting us have the big stick Sullivan and now you are quietly burying your tail asking for retribution on a draft that everyone knew the rules to beforehand.  Someone make the ROM, the DAH-NAH's have self destructed.

[Vitb6]

I am open for suggestions as to any alterations that you see fit.  I am mulling over putting EDFAN higher up in the order becasue of his power and that he is left handed.  I am open to anything, except that DOVE will remain in the leadoff spot.  

What is so difficult?  We had a LINEUP set beforehand.  You CANNOT go CHANGING around the lineup now that people have picked players.  As I said before, and Lipitz quoted me about 2 posts above...if you are batting leadoff you may want to pick a speed guy etc...  Whatever position DOVERBI was originally slated for (6th or bench...whatever) that is where Vince Coleman will be.  Vince Coleman is a LEFTY, so even if DOVE is really a right, he is now a lefty because he picked Coleman.  This isn't supposed to be accuarate down to reality, we just picked players to be us in the game.  Everything is set.  Use the lineups from BEFORE the draft and get someone to start up the ROM.  

LIPS, since you have a lot of time at work :-)  can you list the "OFFICIAL" lineup with player name and their RBI counterpart on a new thread called OFFICIAL ROSTER.  Then if Marquis can be so kind as to implement this ROM.  Shouldn't be hard because we carry over the SAME STATS just change the name of the batter to our names.  Pretty easy if you know how to do it.  BTW LIPS, put my name as VITB6.

[MarquisEXB]

I have an easy way to import the stats, and yes I can do it.

On the issue on the marc sullivan deal, I wasn't playing hard ball, I was just flat our correct.  Has anyone besides bban ever seen a post by t?  In order to move the draft along that by the way took weeks, I needed to start drafting for players for people.

As for the drafting rules, I guess I missed a couple of posts in the mix of the 50 different threads that we had going on.  I really wasn't aware that left/right was included in the players stats.  I guess when someone writes a couple sentences in a post it becomes a concrete rule.  But so be it.    If we have a staff of all right handers then we have a staff of all right handers.  

As for the lineup, I thought I was the manager?  Since when can't a manager adjust his lineup?  What sense does it make to create a lineup before you have any players?  But since I'm not making the ROM it is totally out of my hands, however if I was making hte ROM I would try to make it as competative as possible.

Either way, our team is still much better than your crappy team.  DOVE, go kick there ass!

no offense but no, you aren't/weren't right.  You guys made your lineup and accepted 'T' on your team.  Therefore he has just as much right as anybody else to be the player he wants.  If his friend comes on and says he wants Brookens, then that should be it.  Should have 'T" posted if he cared so much...absolutely, point well taken, however we made the draft so that everyone is equal and being the player that you desired wasn't based on your activeness on the forums.  There are people on the Dee-Nees that have never posted before (ie. jessie, savoia, eddy, pete) and we talked to them and posted who we were taking for them.  Never did we say, well because they didn't come on here to post we are going to pick for them.  That is where I lose you.

In order to move the draft along that by the way took weeks, I needed to start drafting for players for people.

I know, it was your team that had the problem drafting.  But 'T's friend said that he wanted Brookens and you shot him down, because he didn't post.  See above why I don't think that should be a criteria.  If it was a criteria that you were going to use then I guess you shouldn't have accepted a player on your roster with zero posts to begin with.

As for the drafting rules, I guess I missed a couple of posts in the mix of the 50 different threads that we had going on.  I really wasn't aware that left/right was included in the players stats.

Ok fair enough.

I guess when someone writes a couple sentences in a post it becomes a concrete rule.

True.  Plus we have mentioned it more than once or even twice.

As for the lineup, I thought I was the manager?  Since when can't a manager adjust his lineup?  What sense does it make to create a lineup before you have any players?  But since I'm not making the ROM it is totally out of my hands, however if I was making hte ROM I would try to make it as competative as possible.

This was because we drafted names randomly out of a hat.  Because of that just in case one team had the 1st 5 picks, you couldn't put those players in the order 1-5.  Wouldn't make things very fair.  But if the dude that got the #1 pick was on the bench, then you would have to make a decision to sub him in, etc...  It makes things much more balanced, in a draft (and a ROM) when things are up in the air and are supposed to be fun.

Either way, our team is still much better than your crappy team.

No worries here...no worries here.

Marquis, thanks for your willingness to make the ROM's.  Look at the thread entitled OFFICIAL ROSTERS to use.  I'll post that now, since I have 2.5 hrs before I have to do anything constructive this afternoon.

BTW SUCKA, I'm not mad or anything, just posting my views.

[Vitb6]

Oh just saw Lipitz already posted them.  And it is entitled: "
Official Drafted ROM Lineups".  And yes since you made GDavis your #3 hitter and he chose Glenda Davis...Davis is now your #3 hitter.  And EDFAN had the #1 pick and chose Strawberry, and cince he was hitting 7th (I believe), then Straw is batting 7th.  Again makes things more balanced.  Best lineup...no, but same holds true to us.  As Gantry said Savoia will be subbed for Potsie every single game (unless Potsie is playing) but that is the fun of it.  You think we want Darrell Evans batting 2nd?  That is the hand we were dealt and that is the hand we will play with.  

I'm confident our team with still ring supreme....ARE YOU?

Vitb6,

 Its all good on my side as well.  I always get fired up when anything closely resembles a fantasy league.  We definitly disagree on the sully issue.  In all actuality, considering that T only has one post he really shouldn't be on the team.  But BBAN is an active member so i threw him a bone to include him.  However, considering that the membership of this team is soley based on forum participation, it was important to make it mandatory for OUR picks to be done on the forum.  The DEE NEE squad is ttoally different.  Your team comprises of your friends, neighborhood gang, ect.  I would love to be aleto throw my buds on the team as well, but I can't because we are a forum team.  Hence my insistance that our picks must be done via the web and word of mouth.  We are a web-based team not a "played on the same little league" team.  I think its fair that our draft prerequsites differ slightly because our makeup is different.

As for picking hte names out of the hats, in hindsight we shoud have had two hats one for each team and alternated picking players out of each hat so that you wouldn't run into the problem of having a team getting the first 5 picks.

Finally, I feel justified in asking that we have an option to select a new lefty pitcher based on the fact that the DEE NEE's out right stole the first pick of the draft.  If memeory serves me correctly, Ericdavisfan ahd the first pick and since he hasn't been here for a while, "lost" it somehow, where in actuality, we should have picked it for him.

[vgp100]

YEAH!

[Vitb6]

VGP...you are so good at this.

[B]

man...this is some hot shit...

i apologize for throwing a bit of a kink into the ring here...i meant to, near the beginning of the draft, to say that i would be selecting on T's behalf...and i take blame for not doing so....i didnt mean to make any waves, was just wondering if a change in the picks could be allowed...when talking to t, i convinced him based on his lack of postings and overall talent, that he should be happy to even sniff sully's jockstrap....after 2 seconds of deliberation, he aggreed....and is happy to even be included, and as a red sox player, he is honored....but im glad to see the juices running wild....this competition will be like few others........

and as for the comment "do you think we want darrel evans batting second"......of course you do...you want him batting period....the guys a fucking tank....1-9 the dah nahs have it in balance...you dee nees are a bunch of john daly's on the diamond...you may rule in a softball league...but RBI is more than just a home run derby my friends....the dah's play smart baseball....great defense and have a cunning style that can only be stated as "chic"....deal

[vgp100]

VGP...you are so good at this.

Some people are good at starting shit, others are good at backing it up. Me, I'm good at little pokes and jabs that hopefully keep the fire going.

VGP100 will live forever

Man, these threads are getting stranger and stranger...  I personally missed the post saying you have start a strict order, that's a bit odd to me.  But then again, we have 2 teams on a 10 team ROM.  

How about we make an "original" lineup and an "altered" lineup?  That way you can choose which style off Dee-Nee-vs-Dah-Nah you want to play...

[Lips]

That's a good solution.  And we could still put all the teams on the same ROM too...

Gantry, Jason...any ideas on the "revised" Dee-Nee lineup?  Post at:
http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=784

I will try to comment a bit later.

Well here you go Gantry since you missed it.  Nor surprisingly though since you didn't even know we were doing a draft until I showed up at your place...

You can thank Gantry for picking me #2.  Dee-Nee.  I mainly wrote the stuff on the internet while Gantry, Lips and my girlfriend picked out the hat.  I picked a couple but mainly trying to keep on the forum.  

Anyhoo, I think that we should keep the same "handedness" as the player that you pick.  We should get all the same attributes as that player as far as speed and defense etc...  Also, the line-ups where set awhile ago so whatever player you pick will bat in the order, or on the bench.  No mixing around the lineup after you know who your "guy" is.  So if someone is batting 1st, you maybe want to pick a contact or speed guy.  It's up to you. "

As it says this was one 7/5 and a reitteration of another thread even before this one...which were right after the draft before anyone was picked.

I arrest my case.  Jason wins again.  Lips was my assisstant...Jason Alexander in "A Few Good Men".  lol

[Vitb6]

Whatever...go fuck around with your lineups if you won't give it a rest.  Jesus Christ, this was supposed to be easy and non-complicated.  I'm done posting on this matter until Marquis gets the ROM up and running.  Thanks again Marquis.

BTW- LIPS, I say we stick with the lineup AS IS.  We will still kick the crap out of the other eternal pussy team, even AFTER they:
1) broke the rules
2) didn't let people draft the players they wanted
3) tinkered with their lineup
4) have a fucking ALL-STAR on their team
5) And now they want to re-draft a lefty pitcher.

Do what you all want 1-4 but no changes to #5.  Everyone picked their players and if they were righties too damn bad.  Live with it and try to conquer your shortcomings.

And to BBAN:  no we wouldn't put Evans batting 2nd.  I never said we didn't want him on our team.  Evans is so fucking slow that he gets thrown out from RF about once per game.  His attributes would be much better batting 4th.  I would rather have
sweet Lou or even Jones or Spilman batting 2nd.

Both easy and non-complicated?
