He must pull ahead by having the same number of shutouts. Oh wait, Smith just earned that one last night...after the trade was agreed upon. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So tell me, how long does a player's performance have last for you to consider it more than a "hot streak"? While you are at it, what is Hiller's normal level of play? He seemed to be rolling along at a pretty high level until he sustained a concussion last season. As far as Souray goes, you are taking quite a bit of liberty with how important I have made him in "my argument". In closing, I especially like the part about your trying to help the managers who have "forgotten about the league or stopped playing midway through". I could be wrong, but it looks to me that the managers of this league have done a pretty good job of checking in on their teams this year. I have to tell you, this exchange sure has to the fun factor for me this year. I will tell you what. If my team happens to end up in 1st or 2nd, you can keep your cigars. That way, we can both feel good about the results this year.

The trade is done, so all of this really doesn't matter and I'm still going to play. We will just have to agree to disagree on this.
I just want to add this; there are no rules that I'm aware of that forbid me from speaking out. And never did I campaign for others to vote to veto, just making everyone else aware. Also I never said anyone actually stopped playing in the league, but it does occur in all fantasy sports and happened last season here. So I stated that it could happen.
