Okay, let's try this again:

Here's the thing. Most of the current owners are going to get relegated, and that's a bummer. For that reason, if at least five owners decide they want to work together to build a new expansion team, I'll let it happen.

But wait, there's more! These owners will retain an ownership interest in the new team even if their current team survives into next season!

Why do I do this? Because as entertaining as it has been to watch you guys try to destroy each other, I'm pretty sure watching you work together would be even funnier. So, let's make this happen.

Anyone want to start a second team of this with me?

Rated R Superstars

The Rated R Superstars have passed a trading bylaw, governing how their owners will propose and approve trades. The bylaw reads as follows:


This bylaw was passed with approval by The Goog, Senerio, Cthulhu Dreams and Pungry.

Also, the Superstars passed a bylaw regarding the division of ownership shares:

Well, Nate Robertson, I guess it's your chance to shine!

New Pitching Order (until Rogers comes back)

1. Carl Mays
2. Bullet Joe Bush
3. Justin Verlander
4. Nate Robertson
5. uh Sad Sam Jones for one start I guess?

Then when Rogers comes back, move Robertson to the fifth spot, put Rogers back into the fourth spot, and get Sad Sam Jones back in the bullpen.

and I guess I should have *shudder* Chad Krueter *shudder play every once in a while to make sure Rodriguez doesn't get tired. Is there some way to make a dude play only once a week or something?

Also, I'd like Ordonez in the fifth spot, not Dye. Thought I posted it like that before.

who the gently caress is Joe Allen. if he's a real person, move Joe Allen to the bullpen until Nate Robertson comes off the DL, and put him in Long Relief. Also, if I could get some help with this soreness issue with Guillen and Sweeney, that'd be awesome

why the gently caress did I leave Ordonez off my 28-man roster. my pitching situation would still be the worst thing ever but at least Sweeney being sore wouldn't be an issue. I have so many problems that even getting first pick in the dispersal draft would barely help

Round 1: First choice is George Brett, second is Eddie Collins, and then A-Rod I guess.

Round 2: Yogi Berra, then in the almost certain case he's taken, Eddie Collins or A-Rod, and if those two are taken, best SS or 2B available as long as I got George Brett in the first round. If I didn't get Brett in the first round, well, I'll most likely revise these picks.

We're still looking to trade 1995 Greg Maddux and/or 1946 Sherm Lollar. I'm expanding our targets to SS, 3B, or 1B, preferably right-handed.

Magglio Ordonez says he plays RF, but I'm sure he could easily play 1B as well.
