RUINED

2008-06-12T18:42:00.000-07:00

Today the Brighton Creepers announced that they sent "one-dollar-wonder Carlos Quentin, Jeremy Hellickson and Austin Jackson to the Beltway Buckos for Big Manny, Big Vladdy, Accardo and a pick in Third Supplemental. Reaction to the trade around CARP was uniform. "I can't remember I trade so one sided (at least not since Vernon Wells for Shannon Stewart circa 2002)," said one GM. A second GM stated, "I actually was surprised when I saw this trade.... Manny and Vladi? Sounds insane." A third GM reportedly commented, "I can't really judge the trade since I have no idea who hellickson even is. I'm sure he's a stud though. Just like austin jackson." CARP Notes thinks what was shaping up as the most competitive race in CARP history is over. It's just a matter of time. As of today, the Creepers have 25 points in offense. CARP Notes predicts the Creepers will end the season with 35 (an avg. of 7 in every category). It's not that trade stinks to high heaven, but the Buckos did not shop the players in any realistic sense. In response, the Buckos stated, "I could have shopped more -- guilty. But I liked the offer I got from Creepers. " A Buchanan Rule has been proposed, "A league announcement must be made that named players will be traded before they can be traded." One GM lamented, "All I wanted was the opportunity to rip Buchanan off too. I wouldn't have raped him that badly. If he doesn't put the bunny suit on next year, I'm buying him a one-way ticket to the Stabbin' Cabin."

Creepers do not actually have their 2nd pick, but they do have the Brewers', so Carp Notes is recording this as the Brewers' pick in the 2nd Supplemental.

Manny is now Money
New York, NY-- May 22, 2007. Manny Ramirez has quietly sulked through the 07 campaign as the Brewers wallowed in the bottom of CARP. That is no more. Early this afternoon the disgruntled slugger was dealt, along with Capt. Tek and SP Cliff Lee to the first place Money. Manny, seen here after relieving himself behind the Green Monster, was psyched. "The Brewers, they no have it dis year. I want to win Cup with Money and crush Creepers." Brewers GM LaTour's team has been hammered by injuries thus far and has clearly set his sights on 08. The Brewers received all-star catcher Joe Mauer, currently on the DL, along with SP Jon Garland, OF Travis Buck, and the Money's first round pick in the final supp.

Steaks See the Creeper's Ordonez and Giambi, and Raise Manny and Zito

2006-06-22T12:02:00.000-07:00

The Pirates are sellers, the Steaks are buyers.

It is with great regret that the Pirates announce the trade of a true legend in the Pink. Barry Zito, drafted as a 22-year old kid in AA (1999??), will now get his chance to win back-to-back Cups, along with the hottest hitter in baseball, Manny "don't call me Man-Ram" Ramirez. The Pirates were forced to part with Zito due to his love of the mary-jane and alyssa milano. Plus, my wife has crush on him and with us moving to the Bay Area, I just couldn't take it. I trust that he'll be in NY next year (Mets, not Yanks).

The Steaks parted with Scott Kazmir. Interestingly, Kazmir and Zito have nearly identical stats this year.

Steaks Release Pending Further Announcement....

Pirate or Bucko? Gaydar Says Pirate

2006-05-19T06:13:00.000-07:00

What's The Big Deal?

2006-05-18T12:09:00.000-07:00

Here's the big deal:

The Philadelphia Cheesesteaks today agreed to a multi-player deal with the Park Avenue Money after days of intense negotiations. In the deal, the Steaks receive Mike Mussina, Bartolo Colon, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez in exchange for Ervin Santana, Chien-ming Wang, Alexis Rios and Nick Swisher.

In a rare CARP deal that involves nothing but major league talent, the Steaks have attempted to shore up their pitching staff, while also acquiring the best hitter in the American League in ARod. The Steaks have finally acquired their much needed second closer in Rivera and have
great hopes that Mussina will continue to pitch as effectively as he has so far this season. The big question mark is Colon, who if healthy will provide a great addition to the top of the Steaks rotation.

In return, the Money have acquired four building blocks for the franchise. Ervin Santana is an emerging ace, who has pitched very effectively this year, while Wang has been great in his last couple of starts. Rios and Swisher are both coming into their own as power sources in the OF and will be very productive for years to come. Steaks management is very grateful for the contributions of Santana, Wang, Rios and Swisher, but we believe that the additions we have made will enable the Cheesesteaks to make a successful run to our first CARP Championship.

(Salary Watch: Cheesesteaks +184, Brewers +101, Warthogs +67, Creepers +21, Pirates +0, Money -89, Buckos -101, Bees -183). *Note Salary Watch does not include releases made during supplemental drafts.

Estaban is scheduled to come off the DL in late May.

Brew Crew Makes Their Move

2006-05-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

May 9, 2006 -- Philadelphia, PA. The Cap City Brewers, CARP champions in 96, 97, 99 and 04 have made a trade in attempt to restore glory to the franchise and its fans after suffering through a pathetic 7th place finish in 05.

In a hastily arranged press conference on the site of the now demolished Vet stadium, GM Pierre LaTour announced that the young future nucleus of the Brewers had been traded in an effort to "win now".

In a 9 player deal, the Brewers have sent Brandon Wood, Nick Markakis, Camron Maybin, John Buck and Anikori Otsuka to the Beltway Buckos in exchange for Curt Schilling, Vlad Guerrero, Jorge Posada and Y$$#@# Bentacourt.

"We needed help on both sides, offense and pitching", LaTour said. Even with the injuries to Harden, A.J. and Sheff we still felt this race is wide open once we get those guys back. We're sorry that Brandon and Nick won't be around, but we were happy to unload Buck, he sucks."

LaTour had no comment on rumors that Sheffield would be placed on the DL or that super prospect Delmon Young might be banned for the remainder of the year after an umpire's chest collided with his bat in an April 26th contest.
