PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS

OK, so here I am, working in my room on Sunday afternoon, trying to put the league together. I'm having problems. It seems that the manager card I sent out is missing the page with rotations and pitching assignments. Also, I'm wading through the total size of the roster. Some owners haven't specified their 25. And, to make matters worse, I thought I had one owner's info, but I don't. So I've put out an APB. I'm really trying here. But, if I don't get this info pretty quick, I'm just going to have to take my best guess and run some games. That's where I'm at.

this is so annoying. what is going on? its hard to stay interested. im almost at the point where i dont even care anymore.

Matt, you always seem angry when you post comments.

I agree, though. The league needs to get moving. Those who haven't sent in Manager Cards need to do so!

The problem is that a lot of people didn't get the full CARD! I brought it to SH attention (though he didn't understand) before anyone even sent in their cards. Also, Landon didn't know what was going on, he emailed me and I told him what needed to be done. He did it and snet it in, now that is one less person that is missing their card. I still haven't heard from PURVES! How did he come back in this league? Who's bright idea was that? And if someone has a problem with me pointing that out, then have him contact me, it's that simple! Like my email said, if there is somethign that I could do to speed this up let me know. I will fill out manager cards for Purves or whatever owner we are still missing!!! let's go, is this a bureaucracy?

maybe because i am angry. let me try and predict the future...

2 and half months after the mlb world series ends our season will be entering the playoffs and we will be so pressed for time that playoff games will be simulated without owners there. oh and we all know what team is going to win (wink wink- not mine- wink wink).

i get tired of constantly checking the blog seeing no game updates. we are falling so far behind that i cant keep track of my injuries. so yeh i am angry. is anyone else?

matt, our game was going to be simulated anyway, it was my home game and i told sh to do it, with you there it wouldn't make a difference in how the game was played out.

you lost.

anyhow, im as frustated as anyone else, but SH is trying, and he told us at the last softball game that he is going to move on without them (basically, he will fill out those guys cards). its not his fault that some owners are.....well, thats a different story!

Chris-
I think you missed the target of this assessment. No one should be criticizing SH. He is trying without a doubt. At least for me, I am criticizing other owners who are not participating. Furthermore, I have volunteered to fill out cards for teams as long as someone informs me to do so. Relax and reread before you type. And that goes for the league as well. I feel like we are losing our responsibility in this league and poning them on SH, which is entirely unfair. Although SH must ask for assistance if he needs it. OK... Let's GO.

Well my two cents:

- First, about Mr. Purves... he is involved in the league; problem: I strongly believe we have wrong contact information. I believe his email is wrong. The only person who can get ahold of Purves, is his friend Mr. Oliver. I say we talk to Oliver, and get ahold of Mr. Purves.

- Second, the problem with SH is that he doesn't keep to his word. There has been multiple times where he said he was going to put his foot down (deadlines in this case) and he was soft. In order to get this going, the deadlines we create MUST be followed and not altered, otherwise the league has lost credibility and integrity.

- Third, I too am frustrated that the league hasn't been started because the deadlines of which have been set (also past ones) have almost never been met and/or enforced.

We do need to begin and stop wasting time, because every year, this problem arises!

i get the point, im not criticizing SH, im been his biggest backer since the league started. i know this is not his fault. im frustated at the other owners in the league, just like you guys are.

the first part of the comment was directed at matt, the second, was in agreement. maybe you should have read the second part carefully eric.

Matt Caskey said...

chris like i said before i should have been there. i had nothing to do and i wasnt even told the game was being simulated. i still want to be there. The simulation (however honorable people claim it is) simply does not like my club and i probably will never be back to the playoffs regardless of everyone saying i have one of the best teams.

Keep the focus on the original topic of the posts CHRIS! Dont get side tracked so easily.

ejcMOABS said...

Yeah Chris you proved my point exactly by saying that the comment was directed at matt. Matt's comment was a criticism of the league. Thus you do need to read closer. It's ok because now I am getting sidetracked. Here's the problem, we (the four or five of us) are the only ones who are making comments. As I am sure you all know, I sent out an email about getting the league going. I have had ZERO responses. I might spend an hour and fill out manager cards for the half dozen teams that probably haven't filled them out. Remember, I told Landon what to do and he did it within twenty minutes. It is not that hard. I am willing, as I am sure others are, to make up the slack and get this going.

cjm06 said...

eric, the first comment you posted about me was that no one should criticize SH, and i wasn't criticizing him!

i know matt's comment was out of frustation of the league and how its was running.
