That's fine, Demophon, but if you don't get all the way to Z Z we have to ban you.

So that I do not risk being banned on a technicality, will I still be expected to get Johnny Damon when he files for free agency? Technically, he comes off the roster that day. Also, will I have to go back to get Jason Bay after he signs with the Yankees or should I just limit it to the World Series roster? If I limit it to the World Series roster, does Melkey Cabrera count or do I have to say something bad about Ramiro Pena instead?

Chelsea transfer ban is suspended so they will be able to dole out 50 million pounds on cover for the African Nations Cup.

In exchange for Johan Santana, the Twins now have 2 minor leaguers, Phillip Humber (of the 9.00 ERA) and JJ Hardy? They could have had Clay Bucholz or Jon Lester if you believe the rumors around the time of the trade, do you think the GM is kicking himself now?

I definitely thought of ZZ number two in MeatSaber's link. Especially since he's fresh in my head with his ridiculous promo for Adidas with Leo Messi.
