Too funny, let's look at the track record of Grissom and look at the track record of Bonds. Who would have you wanted? Hindsight is 20/20. I knew I shouls have bought some Google IPO, I knew I should have played 378 yesterday in the lotto, I knew I should not have married my wife. Life would be gran...

Now that I think about it, he never sued Canseco for libel.



Gotta love the Monday news before someone can change thier lineups.

Dyv,



And would any of your wins come against a team where thier top players were on a bye? We all have been playing a long time and every year and every league, we get wins becuase of that situation too. You just can't look at your loses or another teams wins. You need to look at your wins too.

Did anyone happen to notice that GG did not respond to any of my postings? Again, I will ask, how will penalizing a team failing to make the min change what happens on draft day? Also, do you want the winner of this contest to win because he was bumped up due to teams above him being penalized down....

Hi Greg, but remember, knowing it going in and someone directly affected then complaining, are 2 different things. So the final outcome won't be determined until AFTER the season is over. Plus, what is to stop a person from intentionally missing the minimum to help an owner below him in the 2 catago...

May I ask straightforward questions and get straightforward answers without all the BS people try to throw around? All I want is a yes or no answers, nothing else. Is so, please read on..... 1-Will penalizing the team(s) that doesn't meet the min IP (if instituded) prevent an overall winner if it ca...

Originally posted by Dyv: quote:Originally posted by newkidintown: All this talk about requiring minimum pitching innings is good to debate but the biggest problem with the NFBC is that it doesnt allow daily moves.

Originally posted by Leaderboard Sports: I agree with Phil but go Monday - Thursday. The only problem wiht that is MLB usually have an off day on at least one of those days (Mon- Thursday). A Mon/Fri means your roster will have 3 games in each period. I know near the end of the season, teams will pl...

I would really like to be able to set lineups twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. Gives us ability to manage a little better while not burdening ourselves with daily changes. Plus this helps with the numerous Monday injuries The BB system does need to be easier and more flexible than its current form.

Greg, Not to cause problems, but why is a W2G being used, that is for gambling winnings which the Fed determined that fantasy sports is a game of skill. Shouldn't a 1099m be issued instead? There is a huge difference bewtween the 2 as far as writeoffs. Then again, I'm getting nothing, so it doesn't ...

I had an idea a while back, have a twice weekly lineup changes. Normally, the baseball schedules have series start on Monday and Friday (usually 6 games a week). So why not have a starting lineup submitted On Monday and Friday. It would overcome the "Monday" injury or activation. You would still kee...

went 0-2 with 2 walks and a run scored. How many savvy owners picked him up when he was written off?

Gordon,



Sent you an email.

I thought a player had to play for the team before he is eligible for FA. But it does state he only needs to be on the roster. That's cool, I would have not bid on him anyway, don't want to take the chance with a teenager. And yes, I did see he was aquired (duh, that's why I asked). Thank you again ...

I'm not sure, but is NJ Upton eligible to be picked up via WW? I don't see that he was drafted and he hasn't played a game yet this year.

Sweet deal Greg. Hopefully this business will continue to bloom.
