Yea, you always go there. You know I'm making the playoffs half the time since I came back.

In a non-back biting reply, I use position players you don't use because you have 2 less position players than I.
Pitching, you don't use the same pitchers because you don't have a park or a defense that can handle put the ball in play. Gotta have a staff that puts the ball in play if you're going to go 10 man, or you're adding 10 pitches per game.

I suppose attempting to make sense of your team-building technique is sort of pointless.    Is this good in your land?

Overall Record: 2943-3213 (.478)   Total Seasons: 38
Post Season Record: 44-49 (.473)   Division Titles: 7
Best Season Record: 101-61 (.623)   Playoffs: 12
Worst Season Record: 32-130 (.198)   World Series Titles: 0
Record vs. MikeT23: 92-86 (.517)    

Haha the classic Mike33345 and teccywirg move.  Start looking like a whiner on the threads and voila!....go do some research to try and take the onus off em.  Love it.

Uh, people who fear the onus(and I'm not sure you used the word properly) don't start threads to begin with.   Dumbass.

I'd also say posting death's record isn't really "research".

I think he meant anus.  Though I don't understand the context.  Unless he just has an anal fixation.

So you think a thread creator looks to take the responsibility off of them?  Why would they create a thread if they don't want responsibility?  You do realize that it's easier to not start a thread, right?

I think part of it is the need to come out on top - not necessarily a pride/ego thing, but just wanting to win the deal. Look at pro sports - a lot of trades don't blow your mind, but we all want to pull of those rare trades that work hugely in our favour. If you make a trade that's totally even - it's almost like a tie. "Kissing your sister" so to speak. Sure, you may get the players you want, but at the end of the day, you don't feel like you "won" and so you second guess.

As well, we all tend to start our trade talks at an extreme and work towards the middle. If a guy agrees too easily, you start to think "wait a minute - is he fleecing me here? That wasn't as hard as it should have been. I better add more to the deal."

It means responsibility -- just not in the sense you used it. It means responsibility in terms of blame or the burden of proof. ALSO...onus is a noun, and you used it as a modifier in a way that it can't be used.

In other news, I think I'm a pretty easy guy to trade with, and you guys are two of the more difficult to deal with, if only in the sense that neither of you are much for bending to make a deal.  It's your way, or no.  Which is fine, just not optimal for making a deal.  I'll take that 100 times out of 100 over the "let me get back to you" guy who never replies... or waits a week and you have no damned clue why you TC'd him in the first place.

I also think I'm easy to deal with if what I'm attempting to acquire has real value to me.   In this particular case, I was upgrading a SP4 at best.
