Controversy.
Some would say this is the life-blood of Sunny Day.
Others would suggest it is the sole reason I get up in the morning.
I question why there cannot be a solid calender year without some kind of crazy, out-of-nowhere, scandal that divides the league.
Top of my head:
Ichiro
Mid week replacements
Absentee owners (Hand, Sting)
Accusations (unnameable)
Keeper list redo
Wiffle ball
Demaio poses as Rose during e-mail conversation
Innumerable sanctions.
Why do we go through it all?
The current issue is obviously, Keeper Lists. I count approximately 20 e-mails (that I am privy to) back and forth crying about my guy was sent down, or to "Man Up" and deal with it, even one e-mail suggesting that, indeed, Josh Fields might just be the single worst "keeper" of all time. This includes keeper lists from guys in Minnesota who kept Dan Gladden one year. Or that time that Mustache Man wanted to keep a shiny rock.
What do we do every time this happens? We fight, and bitch, and try to prove how right we are, and how wrongly we are being treated.
Then, a week later, we vote, and a rule is put into place NEXT year.
So.... how's about we vote to make the keeper lists due ONE week before the auction NEXT year.
It is the Sunny Day way. I'm pretty sure it's in the Constitution, and it's the fair thing for everyone.

All good will from the creation of the blog has been lost.
I am frankly tired of people having to apologize.
I agree. I realize the need for my apology to the "Franklin Square Three", but I've written a total of fifteen articles the past few years that weren't of some epic, drawn-out scandal.
You and I remember when articles could be funny, and a little mean, without anyone crying.
I know a lot of blame must be put on me. Many times I have been the one to take things too far.
But there has to be some room left for fun, right?
Of course there is room for fun. But you know there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. Insult my players my keepers my philosphy of the game, whatever, that's all good. Can't insult the integrety of another owner without taking it too far. Still can't shake that FS3 huh?
"Western Nassau Three"?, "One Liter, Two Liter, Three Liter"?, "Two Guys, and, ....Hey What happened to Chad?"
