awesome
and you can run it if you want gus. you made it, it’s your call. just let me know if you do switch it over to me so i can be ready.
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
does that mean I have to stay up until half past midnight for the draft?
How long will it take? I better look at booking the following day off.
anytime you like sunshine
takes about an hour or two

draft time negotiable?
i forgot we had one across the pond.
getting everyone on the same page could be a nightmare, too.
just drink a few extra pints the saturday prior and sleep in late, hoodie.
yeah, we can figure it out the closer we get to the actual day

Q! is ranked 23rd in the pre-draft rankings

anytime opos
and i keep trying to get around to them. i have the nine players picked out. i’ll try to get at least one of them done this weekend. i had to type a 2500 word paper on the conservation of cheetahs and Plains zebras in South Africa and make propositions on how to improve the efforts

i had to rec that
and thanks for joinin the league. is your e-mail address your real name? its always weird finding out peoples’ actual names on here
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
you can change your nickname
when you’re on your team and it shows “manager”, you can click on your name and change it to a nickname.
that’s what i did, at least.

cheers I've just done that
that’s a dumb bit of design, that it asked me a number of times during the set-up if I wanted to use a nickname and a custom e-mail addy and then at the end it just used my original sign on anyway.
anytime you like sunshine
nope
its actually Lamont

larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.

From the looks of it, we're just doing straight SB and SV
any interest in doing net SB/SV?

WU has a foot fetish?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Old Aerosmith song - Lord of the Thighs. Old fanatasy team name (1984-5).
And if you think thighs are near the feet, I see why you are not getting too much tang these days, Wiz,.

Fisters = eldiablo
i love this shit….
I am going to ask you one time, and i'm gonna ask you nice. Where the fuck is Ringo bitch.
Rules?
Personally I like bigger rosters, and a few more stats like OPS thrown in there for good measure, too. We are going to have a bigger than standard league, and we have several newbies to the game, so we probably should go crazy with the thing, but then again this is a pretty baseball savvy bunch(except for kenwo) so we could probably customize our rules without sinking the ship.
Do you guys want to stay roto or go head to head? Colin suggested points, but they are only assigned to offensive #s and I think our teams should draft pitching which would require setting point totals for hurlers which Im sure I can figure out if we go that route.
Im wide open, whatever you guys want to do, if we go standard 5×5 roto Im fine with that, but Id like to add maybe an OF, MI, and CI positions, possibly another UT. Any suggestions are welcome, and if we can only agree to disagree then we can leave this thing as is and let it ride.
if we have an odd number roto
if even, we can put it to a vote
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
i agree with this
and would like to see net sb/sv rather than cumulative

by Where Triples Go to Die on Nov 29, 2008 6:49 PM
sorry should've been clearer
net stolen bases and net saves…
e.g. 3 stolen bases and 2 caught stealing = 1 nsb

I've completely missed this thread somehow.
I’ll sign up when I get home tonight if there is still a spot open. For some reason my work is fine with me wasting time on SSS, but fantasy sports websites is a no go.

Looks like you will have enough so I'll pass
I play in four or five 5*5 leagues and want to stick only with that format. If things get tight you can look me back up.

Grinders in Training are in
I think the league is now full. Unfortunately Kenwo was taken so I’ll have to come up with a better team name before the season starts.

i count 15?

18?
damn that would be a deep league
"KenWO

by Where Triples Go to Die on Nov 29, 2008 6:49 PM
i upped it to 18
Because of public demand, it looks like we have to go deep.
This is probably the cap, because we dont want every starter in mlb(punto) starting for one of our teams.
ahem

Another league...
I have a H2H league of my own that currently has 11 players. I’m looking for at least 1 more, preferbly 3, to cap it off at 14…
If anyone missed out above, feel free to join. Fairly competitive group and the stat categories should be fun!
