Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

South Side Sox 2010 Fantasy Baseball Challenge

 

 

Last year we had a SSS fantasy baseball league on yahoo. It was huge. 18 teams huge. 

I'd like to contract this season by cutting a few teams, and change it to a more interesting head to head format with three divisions.

Guys who were fighting in contention last season are invited back for sure: Illini(AKA his ringer at the draft), El Diablo, furby, U-God, KenWo~even though he blew his wad early- no innings left for all of september but wouldnt trade what he couldnt use for what he needed like a jack-ass.

Come back, join the league again and be ready for pain.

tsk, wu, hazymania, hoodlight, jbasic, grinders in training- you guys are all cut from the league.

You suck at fantasy baseball. 

 

Star-divide

 

 

 

Just kidding about being cut, you guys can play again(some of you anyway). You can be the jr. circuit division.

Last years contenders will be the home team division.

In the third division I want all new blood.

larry, T-Dogg, cheat, Colin, I formally challenge you to a season of fantasy baseball.

Lets see who really knows whats going on out there on the diamond. Any Editors go in the visitors division.

yeah thats right larry, im calling you out especially. fantasy baseball is like playing the piano. you can look up all the classical pieces and memorize every note, but I write the masterpiece, bitch.

you too cheat. You obviously aint writing for this site no more, you got the time! t-dogg, lets see if your new spread sheet skills can be put to good use. colin, you ever had wOBA up your ass sideways?

Thats what I got for you in both barrels, offense and pitching! Bring it on, punks!

Ideally we can get 15 teams with 5 in each division, the 3 champs and a wild card making the play-offs. 7x7 with R, HR, RBI, -K, OBP, SLG., SB and ERA, WHIP, Ks, -HR, wins, holds and saves. If there isnt enough interest(aka cheat and larry are scared) then we can go with 12 teams.  16(4 divisions) is the max though, 18 teams was at least 2 too many.

e-gus started this post with the intent to write a 'how to play better fantasy baseball' story and almost gave out an unbeatable starting pitcher draft strategy for 2010. Realizing it would surely fall into the hands of his enemies before draft day he changed the premise completely.

one place better than wu. ha!

to be honest, though, that was the first time i’ve ever dabbled. and i forgot to actually set a draft order and just took the auto-generated one and then kept forgetting to actually keep track during the season.

i envy fantasy football guys. seems like a lot less work.

These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.

But if you cut all those guys, on whom will you fatten up?

And how can they get better if you don’t allow them to play?

Is this China or were you kidding?

I originally had u-god on the 'cut' list, too.

then i was going to go back and decipher who was who, but Nation of Domination was listed as Dickey Simpkins so I laughed and gave up.

yeah the 15 teams thing would be problematic.
18 is so many, but I love the idea of three divisions and wild card, you know like real baseball.
6 in a division perhaps? Hopefully yahoo has divisions in the free leagues this year or its a moot point. cbs has free divisions, but their roster page is archaic.

but yes, ironic indeed. champaign’s been long overdue for a gameday appearance, even if it isn’t deserved this season, it certainly was at some point between 2000-2006. maybe i’m just bitter and/or naive.

my understanding is that such things aren't all that

maybe blatant considering who was running the state at the time

but uncommon? this wouldn’t have been nearly as ‘sexy’ of a story without blago attached. i’ve read most of the publicly released documents and it wasn’t like the university had a slush fund type operation, they seemed to have their hands tied more or less (esp the law school). not all the admits were legacies either.

not that i condone the behavior, its obviously wrong. i just think it was blown out of proportion considering the likelihood that government officials in other states have probably acted in the same manner. illinois just got caught.

yahoo has stepped their game up as far as league options

Yes.. if a foul ball comes to the dugout, someone will be able to save Harold Baines. That’s great, but I don’t see how that helps us win games. x3 - Grinder In Training

I noticed that I was not invited. What'samattergus? 'fraid to lose to a lady, huh??

No, I’d need to be among the folks who lose their passwords and fall asleep sitting upright during the drafts.

But whatever, lemme know if you need a spot filled in the CrippleFight Division.

...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

nothing personal hsa

I formally challenged larry because he is mr. minor leagues and is willing to double check everything, colin because hes amazed how superior his baseball mind is compared to the masses here at SSS and cheat just to see if the guy is alive.

you are more than welcome.

when registration is available I’ll set up two leagues and make a similar post looking for victims.

well yahoo hasnt even opened up the registration yet.

and we may switch to espn.

this snowball has really picked up a lot of mass and therefore speed.
as I stated at the bottom, i intended to write a post giving fantasy strategy away, and changed it on a whim.
I’ll post something on the right rail when there is more to go on.
right now its good to have so much interest.

I'd love to hear your drafting advice...

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

by ElDiablo on Feb 7, 2010 11:58 AM CST reply actions  

ever thought about league safe...?

it handles all of the collections and payouts for free… fdic insured

with this many interested parties we could make things a little more interesting… not much… just a little

Hopefully Peyton rocks New Orleans worse than Katrina did.

I couldn’t figure it out yesterday, but it came to me at 4am. Then I understood the FOGhat, laughed so hard I farted, and went back to bed.
