I'm thinking he gets 15 games. I can't figure out why AJ got thrown out that game as well. You're right though, that was the best clean punch I've seen in a baseball game in memory.

That may be the funniest thing I've ever read.

By incredible coincidence, the same person (Matthew Ross) sat to my left for the NFBC in both 2004 and 2005--any statistics gurus out there want to take a crack at the odds on that happen...

Hey Greg,

I'll give you a call in the next couple of days. My cell # is still the same, my work situation changed.

The key is how they are interpreted -- and you're the boss here, so of course I'm going to abide by your decision. It's just that I never understood why pinch hitting appearances qualifies as a game played at...

Gekko, what car is that? Is that the Maserati?

Gotta say I love the concept you've come up with. Unfortunately I've been involved in too many local leagues for too many years that I just couldn't take on doing another league. Good luck with it though, sounds like you've got a winner.

I would also vote for blind bidding. The less "Luck of the draw", the better. Why don't we take a poll on how many would like blind bidding, you might be surprised how many would want it.

Originally posted by nydownunder: Spy Most posters here are experts or the more serious Fantasy Leaguers, so it would be a bad sample to poll. The 15 minutes prior to the draft is the worst option of them all. I don't mind the whole bid thing, but knowing where you are picking is very important for ...

I think Moneymaker and nydownunder make some very good points and I'm not as sure as I was that the twice weekly moves is the way to go. I'm still thinking about this and the possible ramifications of those changes.

Suggesting to switch from New York City to Jersey, would be like switching from Vegas to Henderson, NV. C'mon, are you kidding??? The only place in Jersey that would make sense in place of NYC would be Atlantic City.

I've been for twice weekly moves from day one. Sick of agonizing which player to start right before the deadline, only to have the guy I decided on go down with an injury in Monday's game, and the guy I kept reserved, go on to have a huge week.

I picked him up last week for $58 and have no intention of dropping him. He'll be up again shortly, but it is frustrating.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: let's say 3 teams (IN THE SAME MAIN EVENT LEAGUE) use the closer and/or injured pitcher strategy. i'm not concerned about them, as they will likely cancel each other out. BUT, all of the SP in the league will be distributed amongst only 12 teams... anyone think thi...

Well at least I had the 5 2/3 IP right, lol! :D Nice call on Backe, I think he was dropped in 5 or 6 leagues this week, but you went the other way and got a servicable start from him and I don't think the Dodgers are gonna hit him, they can't even score in Colorado! I guess that's why you're in the ...

Shaky 1st inning, but has looked pretty good since then.

Originally posted by Dyv: Two different teams there, Cellar... one I need k's and Backe has two starts where I think his matchups are 'okay' - plus I figure my WHIP/ERA can tolerate a little abuse if need be. I'm forced to take risk because Doughboys isn't coming back to me, so I need to come up to ...

Dyv, between that move and picking up Brandon Backe this week, I'm starting to think you're losing it, but what'd I know, I'm about 50 spots behind you in the overall

I agree, I think the owner of Mulder in my league, NY #4 should drop him as well.

WHAT!!!???? CC's Desperado's waived Brent Abernathy!!! I want an inquest.

LMAO!!

Dyv, you left out the caption for that picture. I'll add it in for you:



Barry Bonds, as he'll never appear again, on a baseball diamond.
