NFBC Message Boards

Sorry to disappoint by not taking part in the NFBC. I REALLY wanted to be in it, but I work for an association that conducts an annual convention and it fell on the day of the draft this year in Orlando. I’ll try to follow the boards still, because we ALL know this is by far the greatest league on t...

I came across a great description of the Gekko: For more details, please see the following site members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm#WIAT What is a Troll? An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people. ...

Sounds like you have some pretty lonely winters up there in Milwaukee Walter. I though you guys had farm animals or something to help keep your mind off of the suicide thing.

I made a point to seriously flame the team that dropped Willis on our league’s message board. He’s a bottom tier team and my initial thought was he most know one of the guys near the top and was pulling a Richard Hatch by forming a secret alliance and asking for a little “kick-back.” It was good to ...

Props to you guys for the most entertaining non-Gekko exchange of the season to date.

Gordon I'm guessing you have spent at least a little time on a forensic team.

I won’t concede on Sexson until he actually undergoes the knife. He’s costing himself millions of dollars if he opts for surgery. Sure he still gets paid this year, but he’ll likely get a Mondesi type contract next year in the FA market if he sits out. You could quote yourself and know that he is fa...

I beg to differ with that MEMO Gordon. What about the guys that took Griffey, Mora, Casey, Burnitz, or Vlad? All players that could classified as “injury prone” and all players that are on teams near the top of the standings. Also how can you ever predict a Richie Sexson type injury? Anyone that sim...

That’s the great thing about this country; even you are entitled to an opinion Gordon. There is a ton of baseball yet to be played, and who knows maybe Sexson can shoot up with some new undetectable roids and play through the pain. We will see........

A fair share of injuries is part of the game, but I had 7, count ‘em, 7 guys on the DL at the start of the week. Roberts, Erstad, D. Wells, Sosa, Sexson, Giambi and Patterson. I had to cut Erstad and Wells along with Vargas just to get 3 healthy guys in my line-up. This also destroyed my strategy of...

Historically what has won baseball games? Besides great pitching it’s players that get on base. Additionally even if all of us think he’s a waste as a human being (media included of course) SF Outfielder may be the greatest player in the history of the game ( I love The Babe, Cobb etc. but they were...

I am sick and tired of the retards in the press referring to the Mondesi situation as a “difficult legal dispute.” He’s being sued for $640,000. This guy made $60,000,000 over the last 6-years. This is the equivalent of someone that makes $50K being sued for $3,200. This is hardly a life-altering ev...

Normally I would say no question. But I’m not convinced he’ll be back. He does NOT need the money. His contract has only for $1.1 million. This guy banked $60 million in the last six years; the remaining part of $1.1 million is NOTHING to this guy. So you have a player whose skills have declined, hi...

If you REALLY want to vent about anything fantasy sports related then tune in tonight at 6pm CDT ( that’s 7pm Eastern for those of you that are time zone challenged) for Drafthelp.com’s inaugural broadcast of our weekly Internet radio show on http://www.sportstalkcleveland.com/ . Our featured guest ...

Thanks, got it. I’ll pimp the show on a separate thread, we have call-in lines if any members of the NFBC want to chat. I left you a message on the number Greg provided. I’ll finalize the logistics and contact you shortly before 6pm CDT (the studio is in Cleveland and I am in Chicago.)

Not sure if you got my message, are you going to be able to be a guest on our radio show tonight?

Tom I get the feeling that you are more of a football guy than baseball, correct?

Sucks to own Nomo. Dusty marches out a line-up that looks like he’s conceding to a sweep (no Sosa, no Walker, no Barrett, no Patterson) and they put up a 6-spot in the 2nd.

Tom, I actually started a Mondesi thread here on the board, I was lucky enough that he went before I could take him in the NFBC, but he and Erstad were two of my core OF’s in a 21-team, 40-man roster local league (needless to say starting Hawpe AND Pellow this week is not fun.) Here’s what I had to ...

I equate it to NCAA football, either you are in the top-25 or you are not considered a top-tier team. We will all try to cry injuries got me or some other excuse, but that’s part of the game. I consider Sexson a bad beat since he played 162 games last year, but I knew what I was getting myself into ...

What a joke this guy is. He “wants to rest and spend time with his kids.” What’s this guy do for 6 months a year? This guy pulled in over $45 million from 2000-2003 and almost $60 million from 1998-2003. Why did he even bother taking the Pirates measly $1.1 million contract this year? Players like R...

Maddux is coming around. His 1st start it was 30 degrees here in Chicago, his 2nd start the wind was blowing out dead to center. He’s had a few nice outings since and from a pure baseball perspective he’s a godsend to the Cubs. CC is a nightmare. I own him as well. I also have D. Wells who’s ERA in ...

How many points do you think it will take to win the NFBC? My initial take was it would be between 1460-1560 (75% - 80%). I drafted a team with a lofty goal of 1600 points in mind, and I am managing my team to attempt to achieve 36th in each category (although since I have 3 closers I can shoot for ...

WGN radio is reporting that Wood was scheduled to undergo an MRI at 11:00am. They also said that he was removed as a precaution and if the game was a “must win” he would have stayed in.
