How do you allocate your 180 mil each season for your franchise?

You get 185m. It varies greatly from team to team. Three constants(once I get them there): 0 ADV, 20 Training, 16-20 medical.

isn't it ironing that deanod is an expert in?

He doesn't iron his awesome vest.

So can we get a region for you so I can do a little research on the superior rear ends that they have developed so the millions of Americans that live between the coasts can be as good as you?

No. But I'll help you. Eat less, exercise more.

This is kind of a physics/baseball question. The "Steroid era" update reduced HRs more than WIS had anticipated, and since there is another update they are "correcting" this. The question is will this new update swing to far and almost go back to where we were, and stay that way until another update in the distant future?

My guess is it will. Some owners reacted and removed the 33/95/41/47/92 guys from their line-ups. So, naturally, homers went down when they were replaced with 70/79/54/51/80 players. Since WifS' stated goal was 2.40, I wouldn't be surprised to see it rise up to 2.65 or so. In a way, it's good for me. I took over a team with a handful of players that became useless. Now my power-hitting platoon might be back on.

who will win the superbowl?



will johnny damon resign with the yankees?

Colts. They're not going to hand the Saints the ball 5 times.

If he'll take a 2 year deal with a buyout option for the 3rd year.

Do you think the Pirates ownership is really trying to put together a winning franchise? Or are they just doing what they're doing to keep a profit?

If they are tanking on purpose, should MLB step in?

If you owned the Pirates, what position(s) would you look to fill first, and by what means (draft, trade for prospects, free-agency)?

What the hell is going on with Mitch?

Did you miss me yesterday?

I think the Pirates have been raking in money for quite some time without attempting to field a winning team. Now that the "newness" of their park has worn off, they have to do something else.

There has been some noise from MLB about cutting off revenue sharing to teams that aren't attempting to compete. The sooner that happen, the better. The Pirates are the HBD owner who wants to build a WS winner with nothing but pre-arb players.

To be honest, the Pirates have been irrelevant for so long, I'd be hard-pressed to name 5 of their players let alone their needs.

mitch "volunteered" to be the poster child for my tougher stance on soft tanking. You can't use training camp pitchers in the bigs and have better options in your minors or 27m in unused payroll while claiming "I'm not part of the problem." He's not the only one but he's the only one who tried to defend his actions as "not a problem." The others, I assume, decided to keep quiet and not do it next season.

I did not. Sorry.

how long til i win another hbd w.s.?
