• Me and eric went at it all the time. That league feels like it was forever ago. I was still a young pup

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 17, 2021 5:46 PM

• This league had one lex Luther like super villian is all

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:44 PM

• I tried to bring that here but didnt take with this crowd

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:41 PM

• I never doubted that Cole is a real person, but found it hilarious that Eric seemed convinced otherwise.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 5:41 PM

• The chat board was like 1980s WWF wrestling , the best was when Kevin made Steve bliss blacklist

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:40 PM

• Brent vouched that Cole was real person

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:40 PM

• I am sad that so many of those truly insane flame wars were on the chatboard and lost to time. That was a crusty bunch.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 5:37 PM

• Except between Charles and his fake brother. I kid.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 5:35 PM

• 8+ keep forever or something like that, right? Not a lot of meaningful roster movement in that league.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 5:34 PM

• None of us who remember 2016 and 2017 have any trouble imagining him as a villain. I think Drew might be the only one I haven’t thought of as a villain at some point. I used to think maybe Mikey...but then he traded me a guy he obviously planned to cut in Capped (and emphasized by cutting him in this league, in case I missed it) for Kah-boom.

• Hanley Ramirez was the Tatis of the league in those days , and never left my team wooooo.

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:25 PM

• Your team was always a powerhouse

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 5:20 PM

• Those were the good ol' days. When my team was good every year and before I joined this shark-infested otto-verse

  Salmon of Campusano on March 17, 2021 4:57 PM

• In our old H2H league , about this time of year Kevin was always in the doghouse with comisioner and his lackee Eric about one sided trades he made . Hard for many of you to imagine Kevin as a villian , but he found the weaker links in that league every year.

• I have DJ Stewart on my roster, so I thought Hang the DJ might be bad for moral.

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 2:11 PM

• I dont understand these music references either. So I pivoted to food & drink.

  Juuuust A Bit Outside on March 17, 2021 1:04 PM

• I think "young guys" is a relative term among this bunch. I'm probably one of the 2-3 youngest and certainly don't feel "young"

  Salmon of Campusano on March 17, 2021 12:55 PM

• Wait, I thought you were the young guys? I managed to spend most of the Reagan years far out of the country, as a PC volunteer in Africa and doing research in Indonesia. I don’t think I missed anything besides Shoot Out the Lights and maybe Life’s Rich Pageant. Definitely not New Order.

  BatGPT on March 17, 2021 12:53 PM

• Yes I am very confused

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 17, 2021 12:39 PM

• I feel we are talking in code that the younger guys can't comprehend

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 12:23 PM

• lol

  Salmon of Campusano on March 17, 2021 12:01 PM

• Hang the DJLM

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 11:59 AM

• Hang the dj, Hang the dj , Hang the dj

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 11:55 AM

• Alright, I'm in too. (although a few years later in chronology)

  Salmon of Campusano on March 17, 2021 11:48 AM

• Well, I won't fight the tide.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 11:11 AM

• I did, was subtle

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 17, 2021 11:02 AM

• I feel like Fred made a PiL reference the other day too, lot's of 80's alternative fans in this league.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 11:00 AM

• Yeah, that's good. I was expecting a fresh prince reference. This is better.

  Salmon of Campusano on March 17, 2021 10:59 AM

• New favorite team name.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 17, 2021 10:57 AM

• Done

  Hold the Mayo on March 17, 2021 10:56 AM

• Yes. That should be mandatory.

  Salmon of Campusano on March 16, 2021 12:18 PM

• If you roster both of the Wills Smiths shouldn't you have to name your team after them in some fashion?

  Kirby Your Enthusiasm on March 16, 2021 12:11 PM

• Agree on $1 reliever Gant. Also, now the Phillies are in the common uniform. Really, the team from the cradle of liberty wears red coats (well, pullovers)? I hate to say this, but thank you Yankees. Even if this isn’t a great Yankees uniform either.

  BatGPT on March 15, 2021 9:01 PM

• I agree i don't think berrios is worth $20 but 2 years ago when he was $8 or so I would say he was very worth it and easy more valuable than gant. Just floored me back then.

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 8:45 PM

• I wouldn't take him over Berrios in a vacuum, but $1 Gant vs $20 Berrios? Let's just say that I don't have any $20 Berrios shares.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 15, 2021 8:33 PM

• I like him a lot as RP. Especially in that pen. Not really prone to the longball, a K an inning, 20 holds with the chance to close if everyone in front of him implodes. A good chance at 7 PPI. There's a lot to like for $1.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 15, 2021 8:31 PM

• I wasn’t going to answer Gant...but the fact that you had him in Capped did make me pause for a second.

  BatGPT on March 15, 2021 8:08 PM

• If anyone is going to answer "Gant", I have him for $1 in capped and would probably trade if we can make the salary cap work. He'd be my SP12 now that he's in the rotation.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 15, 2021 7:52 PM

• Who would you rather have gant or berrios? Do you consider them equals?

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 7:11 PM

• I said he flamed out last year. But was a very small sample size. He could still become a stud.

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 7:10 PM

• I watched Gant pitch today vs the Nats, he actually looked okay except a meatball served to Grandpa Zimmerman. (Also saw Reyes pitch...and if he’s not going to start this year, he really needs to close for that team.) btw, notorious flame-out Adell just crushed a tape-measure shot off...someone from the Reds staff.

  BatGPT on March 15, 2021 6:42 PM

• That's like him trying to say John Gant and Berrios are the same to me like 2 years ago. Gant is only rostered at 26% in otto and valued at $1. Where Berrios is at 87% and close to a value of $20 for his last 10 adds.

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 6:00 PM

• It wouldn’t be spring without Fred complaining about trade offers he doesn’t like, or comping one of his guys (who has had 1 good month in mlb) to an ottoneu deity. This is Soto’s world.

  BatGPT on March 15, 2021 5:51 PM

• Yes, his $39 dollars does reflect he is proven, but his true value of what he is going for is the open market is closer to $65 where Robert is going for a respectable $24 which is still very good. But you are talking about a $31 gap in value according to the otto universe. This happens to be the exact difference between their salaries in our league.

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 5:46 PM

• I hope you are correct Hook I hope you are correct.

  Tradeatron 👣 on March 15, 2021 5:42 PM

• John is most managamous

  Homebrew Crew 🍺🍺🍺 on March 15, 2021 5:37 PM

• Nothing planned yet, but I will have $75 more to buy.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 15, 2021 5:36 PM

• June 1 and I bet Robert is a Syndergaardian.

  Infinite Improbability Driveline on March 15, 2021 5:36 PM

• Why don't you go.after Robert in Capped ? Hook is much more reasonable than I am
