Looking to trade OF for any non-OF
If you are looking for OF help, I'd like to trade any one of my outfielders for any non-outfielder.

I'm back, bitches!
Although it is extraordinarily unlikely that I'll actually win, my spectacular pitching over June (2.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) has vaulted me back into the league as a potential spoiler. I'm going to ride out this hot streak for the time being to see if the preposterously unlikely can occur. Sorry for those of you who were eying Cliff Lee and his preposterous K:BB ratio of 19. Cliff Lee's K:BB can buy cigarettes and porn! Another start or two and it'll be on to booze!

Steals - to punt or not to punt?
Trying to make deals FOR stolen bases has been nearly impossible. SO I'm strongly considering punting the category. Whether or not I do will depend on the comparative strength of deals involving netting steals vs. me giving them up.
SO if you want Gardner or Ellsbury let me know. I'm pretty much interested in anybody who can help me in the other 9 categories. Hurry before your competitor gets Gardner!

Fourth and long...
I am down to 24 points. I believe this is the low point of the season, although if any of you are well versed in Shadenfreude, feel free to correct me. I'm at 24 points, and even if I go with extremely rosy predictions of the future, I'm still totally fucked. So... you want the pitcher with the best K:BB ratio in MLB? Let me know! My team is officially open to any and all dump trades! I'm eying <$10 keepers, but no reasonable offers will be tossed out. Strike now before your competition scores Cliff Lee!

Time is on my side, yes it is!
Dear FIFA,
This is what is known to most of the world as a clock:
In some sports, they use an iteration of this device to keep time. This clock is stopped when the play stops (e.g. the ball goes out of bounds, there is a penalty, etc.) and resumes when play resumes.
There are even large scoreboards displaying the clock so fans know how much time remains in the game that look like this:
And guess what? When the clock reaches ZERO , the game is over! Imagine the possibilities this concept can bring to your sport. No more referees arbitrarily deciding how much "extra time" remains and then equally arbitrarily deciding when to actually end extra time. No more meaningless substitutions at the end of extra time to make sure extra time is actually nearing its end.
I know, I know. It's a lot to take in. Just think about it.
