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.

					Andy, 
					 
					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. 
					 
					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 
					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 upon 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 
					
					for the balance of the season unti l we can figure out how to unwind them if  
					
					this were to happen again. That's just a suggestion,or discussion point and 
					not something we need to v ote on. < br>

					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

					successful primary bids. My reasoning is that the commissioner needs to

					Like Jim, I continue to oppose a complete do-over, which would hurt those of

					Just back from out of town. Here's my two cents. 
					 
					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 
					when it cannot do so any longer. This occurs when the player 
					chosen for 
					waiver is gone (because he was waived through a prior bid -- the 
					later bids 
					are essentially contingent). Or it would happen if someone ran  
					out of FAAB 
					money. Salary cap is not part of the system. 
					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. 
					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.
