No, not at all- I should send it right now considering your illustrious history of finishing on top. Seriously, when will Cubs fans ever learn?

I actually accepted your offer, but the bet was whether the Cubs would finish the regular season with a better record than the White Sox.  I say they will, you say they won't, and the amount is $50.  Glad we got that cleared up.

Shall we wait until the end of the season to have you send me the check, just in case?

I don't remember you sending a response but if you think that would stop me from accepting your bet, you are quite wrong.

I am getting called out for something that I missed, but in the words of a wonderful, compassionate, thoughtful and courageous leader, "Bring 'em on!"

Now there's a clear, manly response.  You're on.

You're paying attention, aren't you Shabes?  This is how real men wager.

                        With this week's FAAB period coming up, I would ask people to please not make contingent bids and, in particular, not to make contingent bids of the sort that Jim made last week (i.e. multiple bids totalling more than your budget and tied to different players).

                                        I suppose you're right at this point that we'll have to set this for a vote.
                                        Mark does not have internet access and I do think this needs to get resolved
                                        asap. As I see it there are numerous choices, but in the absence of anyone
                                        in the leag ue suggesting otherwise, there appear to be two choices most
                                         worthy of our consideration:
                                        
                                        1. Allocate the players as if we had provided them manually to Mark Blocker
                                        an d asked him to process them in accordance with the Constitution.
                                        
                                        2. Accept the results of the system as they were announced and leave Bay
                                        and Griffey for bidding next week.
                                        
  &n bsp;                                     As I said, there are other possible alternatives, like re-bidding entirely,
                                       
                                                                                or disallowing Jim and my contingent bids in their entirety, but I am
                                        gues sing that no one feels strongly about either of those two choices to 
                                       
                                        insist that they be included in the vote.=2 0If no one indicates otherwise
                                         prior to noon today, I would propose that people vote for either 1 or 2.
                                        
                                        If #1 is the winner, we'll also have to decide how to decide salaries. I
                                        believe this is only relevant for the determination of Nady's salary. I bid
                                        $56 on Bay, then Nady, then Griffey. Does the $56 define only Bay's salary
                                        or because it was beaten and then the system would have evaluated my bid in
                                    &nb sp;   a non-contingent fashion against Andy's, is it also used to determine Nady's
                                        0Asalary? Please vote on this proposition, regardless of your vote on the
                                        first issue:
                                        
                                        1. Nady's salary is established based upon applying the constitution (i.e.
                                        only non-contingent bids are considered).
                                        
                                        2. Nady's salary is established based=2 0upon the algorithm ap parent ly used by
                                                                               
                                        the system to determine the winning bidder and his salary is measured
                                        against the team that20would have finished second in the bidding as
                                        determined by CBSSportsline (i.e. my bid of $56).
                                        
                                        Also, I think we ought to consider disallowing contingent bids on the system
    &nbs p;                                  
                                        for the balance of the season unti l we can figure out how to unwind them if

                                        a vailable for bidding, we should count those bids. Jeff ... I understand
                                        that you are trying to remain very neutral since you were the only bidder on
                                        Griffey. But you shouldn't have to forfeit a deser ved boon -- you get
                                        Griffey at $5, and he might well be a keeper next year. So ... in my

                                        Bay to Jim, Tex to Rich, Nady to me, and Griffey to Jeff . As I said
                                        before, we do need to sort out salary issue s, with the basic issue being
                                        whether an unsuccessful contingent bid increases the salary of a successful
                                        prima ry bid.

                  &nb sp;                     any group decision. But we should have *everyone* weigh in quickly, because
                                        the decisions could have a big impact on the title race. Can we vote on

                                        If you are the only player who bid on Griffey, you get him at $5. That's
                                        how are r ules work. I also think that Jim B. should get Bay. He clearly

                                        made the highest bid. The question (as with Nady) is salary. The only i nfo
                                        I don't see from earlier correspondence is detail about your bids. Were

                                        your subsequent bids don't matter. If they were non-continge nt, then we

                                        of my Nady bid and Jim's Bay bid.
                                        Again, just my two cents.
                                        
                                        One other thing. I suggest that in September, a few of us make "bids" on
                                        the system to test how it handles certain scenarios. We can undo the
                                        transactions after the experiments.

                                        leaving well enough alone and default to the website's results, I.e. Leave

                                        I think that FAAB bids s hould be processed as if the system had worked as we
                                        anticipated. This means that w e follow our constitution, except where it
                                        would requir e the commissioner to unwind the system's allocation of players.
                                        During the year, we recognized that this would mean that a higher contin gent&n bsp;
                                        bid trumps a lower primary bid. If I have sorted out the emails
                                        correctly, this would result in the following: Jim gets Bay. Rich gets
                                        Tex. I get Nady. Jeff gets Griffey. (Jeff's message read: "I had bid on
                                        Griffey, Nady and Bay, not Tex. But my bids for Griffey or Bay weren't
                                        processed.")
                                        
                                    ;     We never reached an agreement on how salary would work in this situation.
                                        Jeff's position is that salary should be impacted when a primary bid
                                        competes against contingent bid. My opposite view is that we should follow
                                        our constitutional rule and not have contingent bids inflate salaries of
                                        successful primary bids. My reasoning is that the commissioner needs to
                                        alter salaries anyway -- so this is not something where we allow the
                                        automated system to save work for Mark B. These are both reasonable
                                        positions. We should vote on this and then have precedent on the point.&n bsp;
                                         
                                                                               
                                        Like Jim, I continue to oppose a complete do-over, which would hurt those of
                                        us who made good (OK, lucky) bidding decisions.

                                        I have been doing contingent bidding all year, and the system is
                                        not that
                                        complicated. It processes bids in the order you enter them, and
                                        then stops
     & nbsp;                                  when it cannot do so any longer. This occurs when the player

                                        are essentially contingent). Or it would happen if someone ran 
                                        out of FAAB
                                        money. Salary cap is not part of the system.
                 &nb sp;                      It is up to the player who wins the bids to adjust rosters accordingly  
                                         before Sunday noon. Also, as everyone knows, due to our "eBay"
                                        system, Mark
                                        B. manually adjusts salaries of players p urchased through FAAB.
                                        
                                        I don't know what happened with the Bay bidding. But it sounds
                                        like Jim B.
                      &n bsp;                 should have won hi m, but then ran out of money for his other bids.
                                         I think
                                        that I am due Nady. The only question to me is his salary -- i.e.
                                       
                                        is it $30 or $50-something based on Jeff's contingent bid.20Jeff
                                        accurately
                                        described our disagreement on that point, and I am happy to
                                        elaborate on my
                                        opinion if that becomes relevant.
                                        
                                        In any case, I strongly object to tossing out all bids and
                                        starting over
                                        next week.
