| That's a problem in this league, people not paying attention to the rules and doing what they want. There must be a committee that has to approve or disapprove of this.
If he would have went to the A's or Red Sox, now that would cause a stir! Who's to say it won't happen in the future with others, as this sets a tone for the rules to be set aside.
When you don't follow the rules, it's a slippery slope. One rules is let slide, then others, etc.
Most people when they are wrong, just start yelling and calling names. Nothing else to back up their wrong decision. They also start saying things like worry about your own team.

| This is what happened.After the Bulls played Monday July 1st JD sensing something was amiss called our team to see about changing teams.When we got the call we put things in motion to get it done before the deadline.Which we did that night July 1st (Scott Boras actually flew him in to get it done). So were good done deal and all that good stuff.We have actual phone records, documents, everything.But to actually see those items will cost you a hefty fee.So he actually quit instead of being canned.Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.JD welcome to the team

| I don't care if he plays for you, but it did not follow the rules. You have welcome to the team on July 7th, the same day the Bulls released him. No way in hell he called you July 1st. If someone believes this B.S. then I have land to sell them.
Who cares? When it happens again under different circumstances, then we'll see who cares. This is setting up everyone else not going by the rules. No, it won't make or break someone's season, but the next deal may.

| So are we saying here that if any team decides they don't like a player for any reason after July 1st, they can kick that player off the team so that player just sits out the rest of the year? That doesn't seem fair to the player, perhaps an addendum to that rule needs to be made. If a player just decides to leave and play for another team after the deadline, I agree with the rule. I don't agree when a player is kicked off a team for not fitting in with the click, said something off the wall that offended people, replacing the person who thought they were the Star player, etc.

| Maybe the Bulls waited to kick him off after July 1st just to screw JD out of playing for another team?
What stops a player from pulling a Manny Ramirez and getting kicked off to play for someone else after July 1st?
After thinking awhile, I think that if JD sticks with the Pirates the rest of the year, no problem. It was close enough to the July 1st deadline anyway.
I do think we should follow the rules, make them clear, and if any amendments need to be made, then do them.

| Also,
A guy can get on his manager's bad side. They can decide not to release or kick him off and just let him sit. He is still on their roster, but doesn't play. I think a team should be able to pick him up. The player is shit out of luck under the current rule after July 1st, if he sits the bench all of the time.
I think changing the rule to switching teams once a season would be better that having a deadline of July 1st. He would still have to play in 8 games to be qualified for the playoffs.
Bottom line is, follow the rules, and if you don't like them, change them.

| Changing the rules in the middle of the season again?
I'd say that I'm shocked, but really I'm not. This isn't the first time it's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Something needs to be done. A rules committee perhaps? Something.
I honestly don't care that JD is playing. Good for him, in fact I still wish he was on the team. The team voted and majority rules - at that point it's out of my hands. And for the record, we didn't know about the "deadline" until Ben informed us after the fact.
That being said, why have rules if no one is gonna follow them or they're only gonna apply in certain situations?
And one more thing - Danny's full of crap as to how this whole deal went down, but I think everybody realizes that. )

| never had any real beef with jd or the pirates, and i want to see everybody be able to play baseball. since i'm not sure how this rule reads, can someone on here clarify whatever it says? or is there a link to a rulebook on the web? i want to say let him play, but lets not start tossing the rules out the window. from what i hear, jd played and pitched for the bulls on july 1st against the chiefs. even if a move can be made on july 1st, it seems pretty fishy that all this would go down after a 16-7 game that the bulls won. so if you really need to complain, unless the move was made between the last out of that game and midnight, i'd call shenannigans.

| Obviously people care or there wouldn't be this thread. It sets an example that the rules do not apply, UNLESS? Who is to decide when and if they apply? Who is to judge when they are enforced? Say, for example, 1 team is hurt by not following a rule or is it 3 or 4 teams hurt by not following the rules? It is a slippery slope.

Unless of course your just kidding, then Muther'Fucker us all you want. I like jokes just as much as the next guy.

| I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, I think it's absolutely inexcusable that this would be allowed. What is the point of having rules if they are not going to be enforced? It doesn't bother me that JD is playing for you Danny, and I'm not scared of his pitching ability, we're 2-0-1 against him this year. I know him and his talent better than any of you, what he's capable (predictable is a better fit) of, both good and bad. What bothers me is that it was done after the deadline rule and I'm sorry, I know Archie likes you as do I, but I don't think the rules should be bent, skewed or flat out ignored for anyone. Especially just a couple weeks after we dealt with the whole rainout fiasco. Totally a judgement call by one person and one person's choice to fuck a team. Kind of like this apparently is, only you're on the other side.
On the other hand, I kind of hope this is allowed to stand. That way, at least I won't need my 24 and 25 year olds to make 8 games to be eligible for the playoffs.

| Rumor was you didnt play him on the first and then took a vote. Sounds kinda shadey to me. No body should not be allowed to play. The rule should say one time switch and must get eight games in before playoffs. No specific date. What if someone has a falling out with someone, now he cant play at all. That isnt fair and the wording of the rule should be changed.

He did the jawing, whining, bitching, and other things for too long. He dug his own grave.
I don't care if he plays for you, but you don't have to lie about things. Your credibility is very low.
Just wait until we put together our All-Star Team by switching people around close to the end of the regular season to knock off several teams.

For everyone who has not seen the actual text and language of the rule, myself included, don't be so quick to call out foul. We all know Archie does what he wants when he wants. All can be blamed for nobody standing up to the tyrant when it comes right down to it. A lot of people bitch on here but won't when it counts. They just give in.

| Well, I also had a conversation with Archie right before (literally minutes) our game Sunday and I was told that it was done after the deadline but he made an executive decision to allow it. Period.
Bottom line is there is no integrity here and that's just the way it is. Rules apply to some, don't apply to others and we just have to deal with it.
I also have a text from JD that says he quit...don't have my phone handy so I can't quote it verbatim, but he said he quit because he was sick of all the shit and sick of all the errors.
It doesn't matter what anyone else says, thinks or does. But what do I know, I "don't even have a team....just a hodgepodge of guys."

#3 In two less games we've given up 103 LESS runs than the Pirates... If JD wasn't having fun with the way WE field the ball, well... let it suffice to say, the Pirates better make every play on every ball that's hit from here on out.
#4 Danny, there is a reason why two teams in two years would let a talented ballplayer like JD go... He's no victim - you'll find out soon enough.

| I have been the pin cushion that everyone has jabbed for the better part of two weeks. I have read your editorial and vindictive comments with amusement without response, but now I will reply.
Let's revisit Ben's comments about his "fucking" of a forfeit he received and statements he made pertaining to its correllation to Johnnys reschedule.
I worked the field with Dan the night of Johnnys and A's cancellation. I made that call. It had rained steady from 6-630pm. Trevor Herderhorst had radar on his phone that indicated a red cell was on the way. If umpire fees were to be averted a call had to be made. The league has had issues with Johnnys showing up and not wanting to play in less than perfect conditions. I took that into account. I was justified by that decision this past weekend. I talked to Ben about all of this that night. All he remembered was the final casual comment "what's one more rain out'
" He used that in his lame defense to justify him not receiving his forfeit. That was totally out of context.
Let's talk about his forfeit. He started the ball rolling by notifying the Bulls he would forfeit. Then he texted that info to me on Friday night. I got the Pirates to step into their slot and he saved $100 dollars. The next day was rained out. He called the next morning and wanted the game back. I told him the forfeit had been posted and the Bulls awarded the win. He now had players his roving roster had been rained- out elsewhere. He then stated his drive-by groundskeeper reported the field was playable. Wrong, what he saw was Dan Nicks 3hrs of toil on the parts that could be worked. I worked the field with Dan, Sunday morning and parts were still wavy. Oh! and Jeremy you were wrong also with " field probably was playable " comment.
Now the subject that has got everyone on their moral high horse, JD's movement to the Pirates. I am not concerned with the team politics of the Bulls Decision. They used on him the deadline date to win a ballgame. Then they released him before they played their next game. My ruling was he could move to the Pirates because he had not had a chance to switch teams before the deadline. The rule on players switching team was put into effect to stop rampant player movement. It's intent was also to help solidify teams. In all my years out here this situation was an isolated incident and was never anticipated. I made the decision in the best interest of the league.
Now Ben's latest salvo about hodgepoge players. Again, another mistatement, I called your so-called team a group of interlopers. You have made a mockery of our uniform system. That misdressed rabble you put on the field sunday was a joke. You , who was a staunch advocate for playing more games have trouble fielding nine. Blake Kearney, a super mate, and one your more reliable players, you can't even find a jersey for him that fits. Why don't you give him John Lange's he is not playing for you.
A few words from the heart. I truly love the game of baseball. It has been a labor of love my whole life. I truly believe every decision I have made [right or wrong] concerning this league has been in the best interest of baseball. I am not bigger than the game. I am approachable and I don't give unattributed comments much credence. They are useful for broaching subjects to get discussion started, but if they are just arm-chair bitching or mean spirited they serve no purpose.
I've spoken my peace, now let's play ball.

The only thing that mattered, not the only thing I remembered was you saying "what's one more game," which you did say to me, but apparently didn't mean. I also, just as you did, left out the fact that you said it doesnt matter what you do with Johnny's. They're either gonna bitch that you cancelled it, or there gonna bitch that you made them play. If you're gonna tell the whole story, tell the whole story.
It wasn't players that were on my roving roster that were able to attend. One of my guys was back from the hospital with his pregnant wife, and another had his kid's games rained out. That would have given us 9 and with the rainouts around the area, I would have had several teams to choose from. Great, you were there Sunday morning and the field was wet. Newsflash, when it's sunny and 90+ degrees out, mud dries. You weren't there at 1, my guy was and the field was playable. You can't argue this.
As for the players, you sat across from me at the picnic table, looked me straight in the eye and said, "you've been toeing the line all year, you don't even have a team, just this hodgepodge of guys." To which I say, who gives a fuck who I have out there? You don't like it? Don't have an open fucking roster. It's really pretty simple.
As for making a mockery of your uniform system, is that a rule or something? I guess that's the rule that matters this week?
Regardless, the reason I didn't have uniforms on half my guys on Sunday was because you sat there and bitched at me for having uniforms on guys that don't even have their own names on the back. Not sure why that matters, but apparently it's important for you. I've had 1 forfeit out there in 4 years, and if I would have just waited until Saturday, we would have had enough to play the game. I'd like to see the records of every other team and their forfeits the past 4 years, since you think we're the only team that forfeits. As for your suggestion for Blake to wear Lange's jersey, Blake has a jersey that is the same size as Lange's that he has been wearing all year, every game. I told him not to wear it on Sunday because it says Boyle on the back instead of Kearney, and if I'm going to get bitched at for having a different name on the back, he may as well be comfortable. If you don't like different names on the back than the actual player wearing it, then nobody will wear jerseys until we get our new shirts in, which we have ordered. They'll be here in about 2 weeks. If you don't like, don't let us play until they come in. I've had jerseys on everybody every game this year. They all say Budweiser on the front and a number on the back. Now you have issues with the names, so problem solved. If you want to make any more "suggestions" about my team or the way you would like me to run it, save yourself the time and go fuck yourself with them.
I've had enough. What does a person have to do to get on your good side??? Steal money, get kicked off of two teams, look you straight in the eye and tell you to "shut up you fat fuck" just as JD did our first year in the league. JD is the best interest of the league? Gimme a break.

| Well, you are all pretty much welcome for starting this. I only play sporadically in the FOY and my only point is JD is a giant waste of skin and oxygen. Pirates, you must suck out loud to even consider this assclown.Dont know any of you guys, but Linck and Bulls23, I will take that crow eating beer on our next meeting. Jd is AIDS to a dugout, LEARN !!!! I cant even believe I have to type this so often! FOY is JDs playground and bank account

| Just a note to Archie:
As much crap as you take (some from me) you're love of the game should never come into question. I think we all know that without you, in all likelihood, there would be no baseball in Cahokia. The field would be overgrown and probably indistinguishable from the "softball" field next door. I honestly do appreciate the sacrifices you have made to keep this league going - it's truly a labor of love. You do what you do for much the same reason as we do what we do. We lace up the cleats and go play ball because it's something we love, something that let's us get away and something that we've always done. We put a lot into it too and as much as this is a "rec" league... I think you'd be hard pressed to find a guy who feels that way when we're between the lines.
We have a great thing going in Cahokia, there's no doubt. Teams once thought to be dead or dying (the A's) come back, regroup and sit at or near the top of the league while perennial powerhouses (Cardinals) sit near the cellar, sure to regroup and come back with a vengeance - maybe even before the end of the year. FOY is also in many ways like a family - in fact a lot of you are family. We bicker, we fight, we disagree but in the end we are all out here for the same reason - we love playing ball.
Thanks for keeping a good thing going Archie. You probably get a worse rap then you should...
That being said, I'm still gonna see about establishing a rules committee next year. It'd take a lot of heat off of you and just make things a heck of a lot easier on everybody.

| Those Johnny's guys like to bitch alot....and double post.
I would like to question at what times has Johnny's not wanted to play unless the field was in perfect conditions? The night we showed up and home plate was flooded? Or the day we showed up and it poored and there was absolutely no footing or field dry. When I hit a pop fly with a fungo and the ball stuck in the mud. Sure some teams will play and not worry about the effects, but I've seen enough BS in terrible field conditions (in real baseball games). And when was the field ever perfect? The day I almost got my teeth knocked out? Or the day our second basemen took a 9 hopper of the top of his hat? The only complaint I ever heard was when Kevin left his integrity on the baseline.

| Nope. Had a chance to serve them the humble pie. But lined out and they turned double play to end the game. Was a fitting ending to a well played game. What else can I say. I brought the pie figuratively speaking but wound up feeding it to myself.

| Since Bud dropped out of the playoffs, does that mean another team can pick up some of their players and use them in the playoff`s. Just asking.
