Emotional poster: "If we don't claim player x, somebody else will! Players like this aren't available all the time. Where do we rank on the waiver claim list again? Who's ahead of us and are they likely to take player x? Gosh, I hope we don't miss out on player x."
24 hours passes...player x clears waivers.
"Well, I guess if nobody else wanted him, we shouldn't either, right?"
"Our GM is such an idiot. I can't wait to point out how bad player y is for the rest of the year and how good player x is doing elsewhere."
Rinse. Repeat.
