NFBC Message Boards

I just took a peek at the lifetime standings and there seems to be something wrong with the way the standings are computed. for instance, and no offense meant, but how can Aaron Smith be ranked higher than Shawn Childs?????? Aaron's body of work... Played two years 2007 - finished 15th 2008 - curren...

i'm happy to be in the position i'm in right now. i tried my best this year. i really did. i poured in as much time as i could. sometimes you have to accept the fact that it's not good enough to get the job done. i recognize where some of my weaknesses were this year. the winter will give me a chanc...

I've become an "expert". No, not at fantasy baseball, but at being patient and persevering. These past two years I've been in the running to win the $100,000 in fantasy baseball. Last year I came up a bit short, and it looks like I'll be a bit short this year as well. I've made my share of mistakes ...

greg - can you list those two teams (#14 and #15) AND the # of innings they have as of right now? thank you.

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: Wow, with two weeks left in the NFBC season, ONE POINT is the difference between our first and second overall teams. That's amazing and the closest we've been this late in the season since 2004 when Artie Rastelli and Aaron Seefeldt were TIED two days before the ...

btw, i'd vote for keeping both at 15 teams per league

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: ** I love the idea of a $1,000,000 prize for a double dip champion. However, I'm concerned about the brand confusion between the 2 different contests. I received my complimentary fantasy football magazine this summer and found it difficult to make the distinction...

Pete - that rule was done away with. Too hard to enforce consistently.

nicely done Jared!

Q - i'll drop volquez if u do. his run is over and the xbh are on their way. it was good while it lasted. get out b4 he totally shitts the bed!!!!

I don't think anyone thinks liriano will be a savior. Not sure where u are getting that from? I think what u see is "relief" from his owners in that they've been holding him all year long and now he's finally up. I'm expecting a sub 1.3 whip, sub 4.00 era, and about 8K's per 9 inn. Does that meet yo...

i rolled the dice in the main and the ultimate and put him in i hope i am rewarded!! was it the little talk we had this past weekend that convinced you?

liriano is starting sunday

Livan cut. Liriano time. All aboard!!!

If the twins stay in the race, 200. If not, 180

The only question is if help is on the way this weekend or on monday?

"No, no. No bullpen," Gardenhire said. "He's out 16, 17 months, then you start questioning whether he can rebound, get loose two or three times in three days. That isn't right. He's a starter."

liriano is supposed to pitch 2nite in AAA, so it will be easy to tell if he's getting called up this weekend.

rick -looks like a GO for saturday. likely be there around noon. shoot me your cell phone number.
