    or learn my lesson and stop trading and not worry about being a douche if I misread something. I've no desire to get my ass reamed.

    So you make one mistake and just quit?

    You can always learn your lesson and avoid mistakes instead.

    It's the approach I take with life. Anything less than mistake free conduct is unacceptable. You make mistakes, you go to bed without dinner, simple as that. If you don't try, you don't make mistakes, so you can have dinner.

    There's nothing wrong with striving for no mistakes, but the answer to combating that is to learn from them and do better at not making them; not to give up and quit altogether.

    Bro, you've got to change that perspective quick. Nobody can function with that belief. Let me tell you about a guy named Barinaga! Or about the trade I made with Provie in the original TSSL. They didn't work out so well for me. Thankfully, I can tell you about some others that did work out.

    Hang in there. OOTP can be a great outlet, stress relief, etc... We just can't take it too seriously.

    That's a bad approach in every aspect of life.

    If everybody quit the second they made a mistake we'd still be living in caves trying to figure out how to start a fire.

    Anderson has been involved in multiple bad deals ...the first one especially

    if it makes you feel any better mach, we've all gotten jobbed in trades before. i once traded for jason bay, and watched him never hit above .240, for a guy who became an all timer, hall of famer in provs league. i did it in missions league too... i got a season and a half out of a former ace, because i was chasing a world series. i didnt win my world series, and the guy i gave up became one of the 5 best players ever in missions league. we all lose on trades once in a while.

    Didn't I beat you that year?... ...as for bad deals, it's fun to call them out. In fact I wish OM would remind me more of how awesome the Tanner Boyle trade I made was..
