Nice one, Jack.

And after the Gamester was so considerate to the fans in the right field bleachers...last summer he even tossed them a ball after he caught it to make the second out with men aboard...

Duscherer? (depression, my 1st guess)

Greene? (Anxiety)

Willis? (ditto)

Bradley? (screw loose)

Shandler's "BS projections" clearly grind GG's gears, but what grinds yours? I'll go first: What grinds my gears is the amount of crap that passes for fantasy analysis on the Web. Today, for instance, there's a guy writing on Rotoworld saying "Draft [these players] only if you dare". The thrust of t...

Those projections look high but thank heavens there are unusual projections to talk about. I'm sick and tired of people passing off last year's stats as this year's projections and charging you $10 for the "insight"

When making projections, how much do you devalue a guy who is DH-only eligible (Ortiz, Vladdy, Thome etc.)? Whatever my projections are for this crowd, I lop off 5 HR, 15 R, and 15 RBI, based on: --fewer AB in 9 interleague games --pain in the rear of rostering these guys and clogging up my Utility ...

Just throwing this out there:



is there any conceivable downside to this offer? If so, please advise.

Happening all over the place. --Look at the roster sizes and specialization in the NFL now. Every team has a bunch of guys who only play third/fourth down--or never play them. Games have been shortened. --NHL used to dress 15-17 guys for a game. Now it's 22. [Very Old school: guess how many players ...

What interests me is, in relative terms, how many more players earn a living these days. Go back a hundred years in baseball, or fifty in any other sport, and compare how many teams there were and how big the rosters were. The baseball player pool is admittedly bigger now (Latinos; not that there ar...

If this has been asked/answered, sorry. Just point me. On the front page it says there's a three-pack available for Double Play. 2 live, 1 online, pick your location. Free signed Jon Lester baseball. It goes on to advertise "Three Chances to Win the $85,000 prize". I thought the live drafts @ $500 w...

Curacao Baseball Players' Names: 1) The language spoken on Curacao (Papiamentu) has no written history. So you'll see the island's name writen on island signs as "Curacao", "Corsou", Corsow", "Korsou", "Korsow" etc. They all refer to the same place. I wish I grew up in Curacao's Papiamentu schools -...

Tug McGraw, upon signing a $75K contract, said that he'd spend 90% of it on women and Irish Whiskey, and the rest, he'd probably waste. When asked if he preferred grass or AstroTurf, he replied he didn't know, since he'd never smoked AstroTurf. I'd like to see somebody try to say something along tho...

Funniest thread I've read in awhile. Thanks gents.

The only reason why I stayed away from Dice-K is because my home league uses BB as a cat and I got burned LY. Otherwise, I'd have probably had him on every team this year.

Surely somebody must prefer Jim's team?



I don't. I think Crazy's team humps Jim's team 8 or 9 categories out of 10, but doesn't anyone want the other side of this argument?

Yes let's see this thing.

I could do TYhursday only.

Originally posted by Beezman: In other words, whenever Stats gets around to it. That's good enough for me. I envision a day when all of this is automatic One website that is partnered with MDC, Stats, and NFBC. Once the draft is completed the rosters would be loaded automatically and would save you ...

Evan Longoria is going around #20 and is probably projecting 30/10, or higher, to anybody who wants him around #20. I don't see A-Rod doing better than 30/10. If A-Rod doesn't run when he returns (it is a hip injury after all), and you're looking at best-case 30 HR with no appreciable steals, the na...

Poopy's pentathlon idea sounds like a hoot.

In 2010, let's have some satellites with OBP as a cat instead of BA. I understand that BA is the way it's always been. Fantasy games evolve. 4X4 becomes 5X5. Drafts are added along side auctions. Heck, football used to be TD-only. I just think that --OBP is a better measure of batting performance th...

I actually prefer the arrogance schtick. If I want to see political correctness I'll turn on "Punky Brewster". I think what soured me on Lou Holtz when he was coaching Notre Dame were the pre-game press conference when they had Cupcake U on the schedule and Holtz would be blathering on about how "th...

Originally posted by GYOZTES: the main event that you participate in is not conducive to a conservative strategy-25% of your money is taken out up front-25% is taken out of your league and put in the overall prizes.

I finished with the second highest payroll. The goal going in was to try to be mid-market ($700 or so) but after three rounds it was clear the mid-market was serious kiss-your-sister territory. If Oxana Fyodorova was my sister I wouldn't really mind, but a quick check of the family tree revealed I h...
