But seriously, the Dbacks need to fucking call up Trevor Bauer.

I just barely eked out the W this week against you. Hopefully now your luck will turnaround.

Seems like I am pretty good at rejecting the trades I should consider and accepting the ones I should reject.

Yep. Bastard.

I thought for sure I had a winning week locked up then Capuano and Young both threw gems.

It wasn't pretty but I need all the help I can get with my squad. After my abysmal start, I have a nice hole to dig out of for the rest of the summer. Glad I am not in Division 2 with you Spauny.

Your next Mount

There's really no way to deal with deadbeat owners other then to not invite them back the following year. The best fantasy leagues are ones where each team has an active, attentive manager. It often takes a couple years before there's little to no manager turnover, at least in my experiences.

Agreed.

I was just thinking we need a constitution for next year because you know what that requires....a constitutional convention. And since this is gamblers league, the constitutional convention can only be held in one place - VEGAS.

All delegates report there in March or April 2013. We hammer out the rules, the draft and anything else that comes up this year (DL spots, etc).

Maybe we can get Fuhrman to agree to a live draft in the sportsbook at Caesars.

Challenge accepted.

I like where your head is at on this one obie. There will be a lot of basketball actually being played in Vegas around that time too.

Quote:The Pac-12 tournament will be held March 13-16 in Las Vegas, which is the same time frame as the Mountain West Conference tourney at the Thomas & Mack Center and the Western Athletic Conference event at the Orleans Arena.

I don't really think it's unfair. I think SRE wins the trade (sorry illadelphia) but if you need saves and a SS (haven't looked yet) I don't have a problem with it.

That is exactly what I needed hence the value I had to give up
