I think there is a reason Todd has a site that people pay to subscribe to and sebro has to post 100 times so people notice him.

You're a helluva player Mark as proven by your past finishes in this contest and your current standing atop the Main. thanks glenn. like i told you on draft day, i was very impressed with your drafts across the board (other than b.roberts). if people didn't know who you were before this year, they will after this year is over. good luck [/QUOTE]Get a room! :rolleyes:

Orioles manager Dave Trembley’s media session was chock full of tidbts today. We’ll have an in-depth notebook later, but here are some of the main highlights:

* The biggest news, perhaps: Trembley said that right now he has no closer, that he is going to go with whoever can get outs, and that he is hoping someone seizes the job.

GEKKO TRANSLATION: Jimmy Johnson's ride as interim closer is OVER (why else would Trembley say that today).

Enter someone with closing experience, someone who has done it before, someone who is still in most FAAB pools. Enter. Koji. Uehara.

Quick, check your FAAB pool and see if he is there. You still might get him at a mini-discount this Sunday. Starting bid should be $100+.

I'll make sure to remind everyone later in the week. Wouldn't want anyone to miss out on this. Look at you with your dick out. You pick up Uehara last week for $4 and you think you have saved the franchise. You wouldn't say a peep if he wasn't on your roster. The guy is coming off the DL and he's on social security. He's not the answer if you keep searching you might find the right name. I bet he isn't even a reliever right now.

***The biggest news is: Dave Trembley is going to be out of a job in about 19 days or so; so who give a sh*& what HE says!

First save of the post Jim Johnson era goes to Simon. The funniest thing about revving up FAAB for any Orioles closer is they barely win any games and will probably be closer by committee on top of it.

How much are you willing to pay for a save every other week?

Sir Larry- Gekko's obvious alter ego makes his first appearance for 2010.

Just in case nobody has picked up on it

Sir Larry = Gekko

The first save of the post Jim Johnson era went to Cla Meredith on Sunday.

memo to myself...make more "peeps" like this throughout the season

[/QUOTE]I'm not upset. I could care less who you pump up the message boards. I really think you have no clue if someone will help or hurt you when you do this kind of stuff. It's been that way since 2006 when you were hyping up Ryan Howard hoping someone else would take him early and he would be a bust.

When I was looking for a starter, he was the best available player on the board for me. If he was a lock to pitch well, he would have gone a lot higher. The one Minnesota fan in the draft jumped Hughes on me after seeing me draft him twice the day before. I had to settle Liriano.
