What?

Posted By RobG

That was barely comprehensable, but in any case - first, I never said Mike should do exactly as "you said" and second, it's not that I don't have an issue with what you said (obviously I did because I posted) I said that I didn't have an issue with what Mike did (and I dont - I think he was within his rights as commish).

Look, to make this simple...

Mike has the responsibility to act in the best interest of all teams in the league. If he thinks a trade is lopsided, then he must act in a way that he sees will benefit all teams in the league - not just the two teams making the trade. You or the other person in the thread stated you are a paying customer - well great, so are the other teams in your league. When you signed up to play purebaseball you did so with the understand that Mike has these veto powers. So the fact that you pay to play this game is irrelevant.

I am glad that Mike steps in - he has done so twice already on one of my friend's teams and has required them to explain themselves. It is nothing to get upset about, it is a simple check to ensure balance - it is not a check on your sanity or on your worth as a manager and shouldn't be taken that way.

All I'm saying is step back and look at the bigger picture.
