  1. Great trade, Tim.

    Terrible trade, Joey. Just another example of Joey making a trade just to make a trade.

  2. There is NO trade. This was all a complete joke that I guess Tim took seriously. Why the hell would I trade Ryan Braun (a top 10 player) for Dan Haren ( a non top 20 pitcher) and a fucking 15 pick? I did not accept this trade.

  3. What part of the following email chain indicates that there is a joke involved? Was it when you said throw in X and we have a deal? or was it when I agreed and said "deal"?

    Please tell me. This is an alarming trend that you have started of backing out on deals after facing media criticism.

  4. I like how you forgot to put in
    "What's your fascination with Haren? It's like me and Bruce.

    I actually thought to myself the other night, "who would I trade Braun for"? I thought about it. Tulo? No. Cargo? No. Cano? No. Utley? No. The answer...Nobody! He is going to have a career year in 2011.

    2011 is the year of Metal!"

    and

    "oh, i forgot to mention, you have to throw in Votto and Wright as well."

    This whole e-mail was a complete joke, how you don't see that is beyond me. This MUST be BS. There is no way I would trade Braun for a washed up pitcher. A) There was never any public scrutiny in my Matt trade, I just didn't want to do it. And B) I could care less about what Lisi thinks of my trades.

  5. THIS JUST IN Fenway Flats trades Wright and Votto to The Metal Heads for Hiroki Kuroda and a 13 pick.

    The part where you offered me Dan Haren for the immortal Ryan Braun.

  7. Guess what. You're not above making a shit deal. You're not THAT good at fantasy baseball. You made a counter offer, I accepted. Plain and simple.

  8. Braun just texted me that you are making sexual advances towards him. He dislikes playing for the Fenway Flats, says your too grabby. He wants to come back to the prodigy of fantasy baseball.
