    So...

    When Tank Diego finishes behind me because they played the shitty S3F team of all time do I get to still pick better than him? Or should I just demote Yovani Gallardo?

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Re: So...

    If the tie breaker is batting average, you're SOL.
    If it's ERA, I'm SOL.

    No matter, it'll be a lot of fun to demote Inoa, Harper, Smith, Cecil, Gallagher, Dick, and Gray. >=)

    Re: So...

    And before Tankmania 2014 commences, and someone will probably be upset about.

    Seattle and Milwaukee have been 1-2 all season and San Deigo caught us with the S3F roster. Hell I was the worst team with the roster currently up and I had Triunfel, 3 guys with 30 HRs (Jones, Votto, and Davis), Headley hitting .320 and Marmol at closer.

    I ask, what really is the point of trying to win 60 games?

    Re: So...

    I don't mind you guys doing this... I mean, I know you're all active members to the league, and it's all in good fun... but next year I dunno if I'm going to let teams just outright tank like this near the end. I mean, I don't know how I can stop it since it's already in... motion. But yeah... seems unnatural, LOL

    So enjoy it while it lasts. :P

    I agree nick. As much as this is funny, I am rebuilding too, and instead of tanking, I traded my best guys and then still put out the best team I could. And look what it got me. A whole lot o' nothin. No playoffs, but a winning record (which is baffling that I'm going to finish with a better record WITHOUT Fernando Martinez and Hunter Pence than WITH). But I still put out the best team I could, and dealt with whatever happened. That's what baseball is about. It's realistic.

    I don't appreciate guys outright calling up A players to start. It's not right

    Re: So...

    The best team I put out there was only going to win 60. Why bother? What's pushing it and going for 62 going to matter? Instead of sitting on the 3rd pick, I'm going for better. Sure didn't stop the San Antonio Spurs in 96-97.

    Re: So...

    The teams that are in the tank war cost themselves a couple million by doing it (300k per player called up), they aren't playing anybody thats in the playoff hunt

    To me it seems wrong at first, but if you look at the details more in depth I don't have as big a problem with it as I first did, now granted if the whole bottom half did this we'd have a big problem
