see that team? see how great that team is?

it used to be better.

last night i drafted that team in probably the greatest Auction Draft performance i’ve ever done.

in a 20 team league.

i let them go for all the high priced talent, spending soooo much money on this guy and that guy

and then i jumped in and brought home the world.

it was a Hitters Only league which should have tipped me off that this was not being run with someone with a full love of the game

nor of the sportsmanship of Fantasy Sports

because at around 6pm i was alerted that my team had been had been hijacked

BY THE COMMISSIONER

and was going to keep them hostage unless i was willing to trade him

one of my favorite young Cubs

Jorge Soler

nickname Soler Power because he can hit the ball to the sun

and dim it a little.

busblog nickname Dugouch because in April of 2013 in the minors he got tangled up at second in a game in Clearwater, FL and exchanged words with an infielder which lead to the benches being cleared. When he got back to his dugout, he grabbed a bat and ran over to the Clearwater dugout and threatened to use it on someone.

in his first game in the pros in 2014 he hit a home run in his first at bat.

he was a starter for the Cubs in 2015 for a few months until he hurt his leg. he ended up hitting 15 home runs, but damn did he shine in the playoffs.

In October, Soler got on base nine times in a row, in which he patiently received five walks and then hit two home runs, a double and a single.

of course the commish wanted to steal him, he’s gonna hit 30-40 homers for the cubs this year.

and i snuck him out of the draft late when everyone had blown their wads on Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton who everyone knows wont even launch 25.

this afternoon the commish offered me a series of ridiculous trades that no sensible GM would accept and i politely explained my objections

and then around 6 i got an email that said my team had been taken over by someone else

something that i knew could happen but somehow i thought i would have to accept such a drastic thing.

so i wrote an email.

and he wrote back (i am not revealing his email address because im polite)

this was not a reply i thought i would get

(actually i didnt think i’d get any reply, id dealt with fantasy cheaters before and they were usually kids who were too scared to talk.)

but i didnt think he’d admit to the obvious – that he was a scoundrel!

it’s terrible to have absolutely no power in a situation.

but that doesn’t stop you from dictating terms even though you know a cheater on Monday will probably cheat again on Tuesday

to which he replied

which upset me a great deal, sorry ma

for some reason i thought this would work

 

and then he surprised me

which gave me the chance to give him one final way to make things right

which, by the way, is possible because anything anyone does on yahoo fantasy,

a commish can undo. easily.

did the man not read when i said i was a Cubs fan?

or that i may have just Kanye’d all of fantasy sports in the draft

im probably the most mellow person youve ever met

but now i was getting upset.

dude stole and then lied.

in a fantasy baseball league that means nothing.

is this real life?

is this what the world will be like under two terms of president trump?

is this why people send their kids to private schools?

is this what people say when they say they want their country back?

i want my country back

Update: I communicated with Yahoo and told them about this flaw and told them to ban the Commish. They refused.
