Fantasy Baseball League #2

[schillingouttheks]

I am thinking about starting a second fantasy baseball league for those of you that didn't get into the last one. The same rules will apply as the other current running league. In short:

-10 people, 9 open slots (I occupy one)
-Live draft. Date and time will be decided later
-Default Yahoo! settings will be used
-Must remain active at all times, regardless of how good your team is...that is, if your team sucks, don't just abandon it, because it fucks up the whole league
-People who are NOT in the other league get priority over those who are
-If there are still open slots after Thursday, March 2nd @ 10pm EST, then the priority stops and it's first come first serve
-Must be an active member of TalkSox and have at least 150 posts

Those of you who are interested in a fantasy league but didn't get a chance to sign up for it, now's your chance! Post below and I'll put you in, and once I have the final count of people who are in, I will PM the League ID and Password out to all of you. I will update this post as more people join.

League is full. People in league:

-schillingouttheks
-stocker323
-ksushi
-BoSox34
-Manny Goes Boom
-YanksHater213
-Optimist
-Sox Fan on Cape
-He Hate Me
-elsrbueno

PRIZES (For first place):
-Custom user title
-$100 cash from SFOC

[stocker323]

In.

[ksushi]

I'd like in.

[BoSox34]

Count me in, nice idea.

[gosox613]

ill do it

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

yeah I'll do it

[WildThing58]

I'm in.

[Manny Goes Boom]

I'm in.

[BoSox34]

I really hope Yankshater213 joins this league.

[stocker323]

I really hope Yankshater213 joins this league.

He's in the other league.

[stocker323]

ATG13, you are already in the other league so you must wait until people who have not signed up for a league have had a chance to enter. If there is still open spots by Thursday at 10 PM then you can sign up for this one.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

ATG13, you are already in the other league so you must wait until people who have not signed up for a league have had a chance to enter. If there is still open spots by Thursday at 10 PM then you can sign up for this one.
Yeah I know, I'm just putting my name down for consideration once the deadline passes if there is room left.

[Manny Goes Boom]

I really hope Yankshater213 joins this league.

Why would you want that...? :dunno:

[BoSox34]

I want to show him who's boss, and own him in the league.

[Manny Goes Boom]

I want to show him who's boss, and own him in the league.

And what makes you think that you will "show him who's boss, and own him in the league..." :dunno:

[YanksHater213]

I want to show him who's boss, and own him in the league.
:lol:

Oh man, god forbid you beat me in a fantasy league. I just might have to go and kill myself if you ever beat me.

[stocker323]

There's still 5 spots available in this league.

[schillingouttheks]

Thanks for keeping it updated Stocker.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Iight, so since I've never done live draft (figured it takes too damn long and didnt care that much when I last did this)...how long do they take?

[BoSox34]

Depends, but usually somewhere between 1-3 hours.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, considering we all know our shit and who to pick...2 hours MAX. That's a stretch too. It could be done in 1 hour if we keep it moving. 1.5 hours on average I'd say.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

I'm thinking about joining, but I'm afraid I'll forget when the draft is and get everyone pissed at me because of all the other leagues I'm in. If some time passes and you don't have enough guys, I'll get in, but not yet.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Well, considering we all know our shit and who to pick...2 hours MAX. That's a stretch too. It could be done in 1 hour if we keep it moving. 1.5 hours on average I'd say.

Iight...thats cool.

[schillingouttheks]

Bump. There are still 4 spots left for the second fantasy baseball league.

[ACL BoSox]

I'd like to get in if I can, if I can't that's ok too.

[schillingouttheks]

3 spots left.

[schillingouttheks]

2 spots now left. People who are in the other league can now join this one.

[jsinger121]

if i was not in 6 leagues already i would join

[Optimist]

I've never done fantasy baseball before...count me in.

[schillingouttheks]

1 spot left fellas.

[empirestrikesback26]

I apologize to the people that are in leagues I'm also in. You're all playing for second. What more can I say? I'm already in 5, so I don't think I'll join this one.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, you've been as active as a turd here. Even though you meet the qualifications, for the sake of keeping up with the league and keeping it going I don't think I'd let you in anyway. :harhar:

[empirestrikesback26]

I'm a pro at fantasy b-ball and baseball. Being active is how I win. As soon as I see that update that amare for example is practicing again, he's mine.

[YanksHater213]

Ayo if your not gonna let him in lemme get at that shit.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Would have liked to have joined, but I don't know a thing about Fantasy Baseball. Good luck to everyone.

[26 to 6]

so Schil, you're doing two leagues?

[schillingouttheks]

Ayo if your not gonna let him in lemme get at that shit.
You're already in because you told me to put you in if there was a spot, so I did. 1 spot left ... need someone!

[schillingouttheks]

Yes, I am doing 2.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

You're already in because you told me to put you in if there was a spot, so I did. 1 spot left ... need someone!
I'll get in, if you can point me to a tuturial.

[26 to 6]

its really not that hard, im sure you'll figure it out and get the hang of it after a while

[Sox Fan on Cape]

its really not that hard, im sure you'll figure it out and get the hang of it after a while
Okay, I'll talk to my son that's up on these things. thanks

[stocker323]

Alright so that makes 12, if I have time now I'll PM the info to you guys within the hour. If not either me or schill will send you the info later today.

[He Hate Me]

damn if there's anymore spots. I been playing fantasy baseball for 8 years.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, I am going to request everyone in this league post in here by 10pm Saturday night so I know everyone's still here and being active. I won't send out info for league until everyone posts again, and if the deadline passes, then the people who haven't posted (if any) will be booted from the league, and their spots will be up for grabs.

[He Hate Me]

Just remember I'm first in line for sloppy seconds.

Sorry schill, I already gave out the info. I guess I should communicate better. But if they really want to be in the league then they'll take the effort out of there day and sign up by 10 PM tomorrow night.

[WildThing58]

It says the league is full?

[stocker323]

It says the league is full?

Yes those 12 people are in the league. You are one of those 12 people.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Sorry schill, I already gave out the info. I guess I should communicate better. But if they really want to be in the league then they'll take the effort out of there day and sign up by 10 PM tomorrow night.

I'm signed up, and it looks like 4 of the 12 signed up so far (including me). So it should be fun.

[Optimist]

My team's been registered...I came up with such an original name.

[empirestrikesback26]

no, I just never wanted to be in this one. No offense, but I'm already in 5 others. My only problem last year was I spread myself too thin and ended up not winning a league. Yes, it's unthinkable, but it happend.

[schillingouttheks]

Sorry schill, I already gave out the info. I guess I should communicate better. But if they really want to be in the league then they'll take the effort out of there day and sign up by 10 PM tomorrow night.
That's fine. If they don't post by tomorrow night we can just kick them out of the league anyway.

Remember to post at 10 tomorrow night to avoid having your spot taken. Just say in your post "Checking in for the league" or something like that so I know it's your official check in post.


Just remember I'm first in line for sloppy seconds.
Haha, no problem. You're atop the waiting list.

[WildThing58]

Does anyone know how to drop a team. It says i have too many teams to play in another league.

[schillingouttheks]

Have you already drafted with all those teams?

[WildThing58]

yes i have 4.

[schillingouttheks]

If you drafted them all, you need to make a new username on Yahoo and use a new one. You will not be able to delete your teams if you already drafted all 4. So, your possible solutions:

1. Quit this league and give up your spot
2. Make a new Yahoo username and sign up with that one

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'm in and registered.

[BoSox34]

I am in as Bosox34.

[schillingouttheks]

I'll extend the deadline so people can get in on time I guess. You need to post NO LATER than Monday 3/6 @ 10pm EST. If you do not, your spot WILL be given up.

The people that have checked in are:
-schillingouttheks
-stocker323
-YanksHater213
-BoSox34
-SFOC
-Manny Goes Boom
-Optimist
-ksushi

The people who still need to are:
-RedSox34
-gosox613
-ACL BoSox
-elsrbueno

Hurry up by tomorrow night guys. Your spot WILL be given up and then you will need to reclaim your spots. He Hate Me is first in line for an open spot.

[Manny Goes Boom]

I'm signed up, and it looks like 4 of the 12 signed up so far (including me). So it should be fun.

You skip me Schil? ;)

[schillingouttheks]

Well, doesn't matter if the people signed up in the league, I still want them to post on here so I know they won't sign up for the league then fall off the face off the earth.

[26 to 6]

He Hate Me is first in line for an open spot.

why dont you give him your spot since you're already in the other league? :lol:

[schillingouttheks]

Well, I don't know if that was a serious question or not... but if it was:

I need to be in it because I'm the commissioner, the person who started the league. No commissioner = no league.

[BrentD22]

i want in...

I am a veteran fantasy owner. I never give up on my teams, constantly check-up on my teams, make trades, free agency, ect. If there are still spots please email me at brent.debraga@bgcmetrowest.org

[Optimist]

[ksushi]

*confused*

[YanksHater213]

[schillingouttheks]

The people who still need to post their official entry are:
-RedSox34
-gosox613
-ACL BoSox
-elsrbueno

[schillingouttheks]

The people who still need to post their official entry are:
-RedSox34

Make sure to post by 10pm EST tonight guys, or your spots will be given up.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Make sure to post by 10pm EST tonight guys, or your spots will be given up.
Two of those forur haven't even registered, let alone signed back in.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

We're going to end up with eight or ten, after 10 Pm. This is starting to sound like the NFL CBA.

[schillingouttheks]

Ok. The following peoples' spots have been given up due to inactivity:
-RedSox34
-gosox613
-ACL BoSox
-elsrbueno

He Hate Me fills one spot in this league, so there are now 3 spots open. Once the 3 spots fill up, I will then send the info for the league out to He Hate Me and the other 3 posters that decide to join.

[He Hate Me]

YES! I get slopy seconds again!

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I'd love to be in depending on when the draft is. Damn work and school always interfears with my Fantasy Sports hahaha

[He Hate Me]

You shold never let school or work interfere with your fantasies :lol:

[schillingouttheks]

Well, HeadOfSoxNation, you don't have the necessary 150 posts to join the league, so...sorry hah. But anyway, if we don't get too much interest from anyone else, I'll look for one more person and we'll close the league at 10 participants.

[WildThing58]

If you drafted them all, you need to make a new username on Yahoo and use a new one. You will not be able to delete your teams if you already drafted all 4. So, your possible solutions:

1. Quit this league and give up your spot
2. Make a new Yahoo username and sign up with that one


Sorry about not checking in. I was away for a little. Ok... I made a new ID so i am now eligible for the league. But if there is no more room I understand.

[schillingouttheks]

It's ok. You're back in.

[WildThing58]

Is the draft tonight?

[schillingouttheks]

Did you read my original post? All the answers to the questions people will ask are answered there.

[empirestrikesback26]

No

[Sox Fan on Cape]

No
You have what to do with contest ? Just another useless post from you.

[empirestrikesback26]

Sorry for having knowledge that it's not today.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Sorry for having knowledge that it's not today.
Terrific, another useless comment.

[empirestrikesback26]

I was answering his question. Didn't realize it was a crime against society. My bad.

[ACL BoSox]

Umm I don't know what qualifications I am missing but I still want to be in this league.

[ACL BoSox]

Why was I kicked out of the league? I didn't do anything wrong. :(

[schillingouttheks]

Well, you had to check back and post again so I know people don't randomly disappear. People have done that to my leagues in the past, and I'm not about to let it happen again.

[empirestrikesback26]

You tell em!

[schillingouttheks]

Good Lord Empire, shut the fuck up. :lol:

[empirestrikesback26]

I'm recovering from mono and had absolutely nothing to do. honestly, I probably won't post with this must frequency ever again.

[He Hate Me]

coach can u put me in yet???

[26 to 6]

this second league looks WAYY better than the first

[ACL BoSox]

Can I go back in then? For christ's sake I've been here since the place opened... I aint going anywhere.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Can I go back in then? For christ's sake I've been here since the place opened... I aint going anywhere.
It's up to Schillingouttheks, but you had several days to respond to his instructions, I also PM'd you. You would also make number 11 which is not a workable number. THere are other people that are willing to put in the time on a consistent basis. Again its up to the commissioner Schillingouttheks.

[schillingouttheks]

Yes, you can be back in. We need one more person though.

[He Hate Me]

cant decide who i want first, Arod or Pujols

[Sox Fan on Cape]

cant decide who i want first, Arod or Pujols
You think that they'll be there when you pick 12th ? ;)

[Sox Fan on Cape]

League is full according to Schillingouttheks.




Edit : For new update in Post #1.

[schillingouttheks]

OK. Still, ACL BoSox and RedSox34 have not joined the league, so I think I'm just going to close the league now at 10 teams. I'm not going to stress over this anymore, it's supposed to be fun and if people aren't joining up like they're supposed to, well, their loss.

Sorry RedSox34, you said you would join up like 234123897 times and you never did, and sorry ACL BoSox, you said you weren't going anywhere, and I believe you, but you haven't signed up again, nor cleaned out your inbox so I could PM you. Besides, you should have the league info in there anyway from when I gave it to you before.

Sorry to both, but the league is closing at 10 teams.

To all in the league:

Draft on Tuesday, 3/14 @ 9:30pm EST ?

[He Hate Me]

yeah I'm cool with that. Ugh busy week for me, got 3 drafts

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Tuesday, 3/14 @ 9:30pm EST sounds good to me.

[gosox613]

why am i not in this league anymore???

[gosox613]

how lame, i needed to post??? what correlation does that have to fantasy dedication?? how about my 69% success rate on yahoo in my profile? well i want back in if possible, sorry im not going to obsessively check the message board of a fantasy baseball league, you get in, and there isnt anything else to say.

[ksushi]

Can we change the draft day? April 1st Im going to be visiting a college, and who wants to sit around at 11:00 on a saturday doing an MLB draft anyway.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Read the post on page 7, post # 101, " Draft on Tuesday, 3/14 @ 9:30pm EST ". I believe he just hasn't got to changing it at Yahoo yet.

[ACL BoSox]

am I in yet?

[BoSox34]

anyway we could make the draft @ 9?

[schillingouttheks]

sorry im not going to obsessively check the message board of a fantasy baseball league, you get in, and there isnt anything else to say.
No one said anything about "obsessively." I needed ONE post to make sure you weren't going to disappear, and you failed to do so. Sorry if it busts your balls and you think it's dumb, but it's how I'm running it. Again, sorry if you don't agree.


am I in yet?
I don't know, have you attempted to join the league? If you checked back here, you would have seen that I gave you a few days to rejoin the league, and you didn't. I tried to send you a PM to give you the league info which you should have already had, and your inbox was full. Sorry, I guess you're not in.

Guys, it's a fantasy baseball league. No need to shit your pants. If you want to do a league so bad, join a public one. But this is how I'm running them. Sorry if you dislike how I go about doing it, but if I can't get in contact with the people who are in the league I'm running, then I'm not going to put up with it. League is closed. Sorry.

[schillingouttheks]

anyway we could make the draft @ 9?
So far everyone is liking the 9:30, so we'll have to see.

[BoSox34]

Aright, thats fine.

That's BS, I tried to join many times after we talked and it said I was banned. So in other words, I got screwed. Nice job being fair.

[schillingouttheks]

That's BS, I tried to join many times after we talked and it said I was banned. So in other words, I got screwed. Nice job being fair.
Well, you talked to me on AIM a short while ago, so yeah.

Anyway, you should have brought that up with me. I don't know if you're joining and getting rejected unless you TELL me. In which case, I would have been more than happy to help you out. If you create a new username and still want to join, that's fine with me. Same with you, gosox613. If you would like to make a new username and rejoin, I'd be more than happy to let you in, considering there seemed to be some confusion. PM me if you decide to do this.

[ACL BoSox]

no matter what I do it won't let me join, I guess they tagged my IP address or something... :/

[Manny Goes Boom]

So far everyone is liking the 9:30, so we'll have to see.

Any damn day but next Tuesday...I got plans.

So what will happen...the Computer will auto pick for me? :(

[Bostons_Finest]

can u please make another league #3? i want in:(

[schillingouttheks]

I can't run that many on top of all the other things I need to do. Sorry.

[Bostons_Finest]

want me to make 1 same rules?

[schillingouttheks]

That's up to you, but people may not be interested...do whatever you want.

[ksushi]

Well, it seems like people are interested...

[Sox Fan on Cape]

schillingouttheks, can we get an official draft time and number of people in the league ?

[schillingouttheks]

10 people in league:

-schillingouttheks
-stocker323
-ksushi
-BoSox34
-Manny Goes Boom
-YanksHater213
-Optimist
-Sox Fan on Cape
-He Hate Me
-elsrbueno

Draft time: 9:30pm EST on Tuesday 3/14 is what seems workable for a big majority of the participants.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, it seems like people are interested...
I mean for other leagues. Soxfan tried to make a third one but no one was interested.

[ksushi]

Oh, lol, so much for paying attention to the thread. My bad.

[Optimist]

Tuesday is no good for me.

Oh well...I was probably going to lose interest anyways.

[YanksHater213]

Its possible I may not be able to be there either...

[schillingouttheks]

Well, we are also thinking about rescheduling to Thursday at 9:30pm EST as well.

How's that for everyone? 3/16 @ 9:30pm EST?

[YanksHater213]

Hahahhahaa. Even worse.

Pick the nights the Celtics play... smart.

[Optimist]

Thursday is good for me. Basically any day but Sundays and Tuesdays are good for me.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Well, we are also thinking about rescheduling to Thursday at 9:30pm EST as well.

How's that for everyone? 3/16 @ 9:30pm EST?
It sucks. Why did I bother asking what was the official draft date and number of people. Jeez lets change it because, " Tuesday is no good for me.
Oh well...I was probably going to lose interest anyways. " by Optimist the day before the draft.

I asked :
schillingouttheks, can we get an official draft time and number of people in the league ?

Thats great for me, but if Tuesday's what its gonna be I guess thats cool, I'll just pre-rank my players.

I asked :

You responded with :
I understand....but my goal is to make it so that most people can make it to the draft. Obviously, it won't be changed. But if everyone could make the draft if it was changed to Thursday, then I would change it. Besides, the way this is run I throw out a draft time, and see how many people can make it. If a good amount of people can make it, chances are it will stay. However, if there is a better date that suits EVERYONE, it will be changed to then.

[schillingouttheks]

REMINDER: Draft in 30 minutes.

[He Hate Me]

gah stupid me, I thought the April 1 date was a set date. Now I got Clemens in the 11th. Just kill me

my AIM is the same as my username if you wanna talk trade.

OH! I just found the trade block feature, now that is something useful if people use it. Thats so awesome.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Trade thread? Eh?
You want to trade, before spring training ? That's confidence !

I personally prefer to discuss trades on AIM. Most people probably already know my screen name but it's devildots51101.

Well if someone has a beef about one of the trades they can veto it. Once it's vetoed on Yahoo we could have a discussion on the site and we can decide whether the trade is fair or not. But if no one complains than the trade goes through.

Damn thst means I have to put Aim back on my back-up computer. My primary crashed Monday afternoon.

[ksushi]

oh its league vote? Why? That seems like there is a lot of room for "i wanted to get that guy so im going to veto it blah blah" sort of stuff. And no i don't really want to trade right now, but i will at some point im sure we should have a place for this. Maybe a chain PM with all our AIM's or something. Mine is ksushi500

As I understand it, its a way to prevent lob sided trades ( especially to a friend or if someone has just given up ( lost interest or their team sucks, etc. ).

[ksushi]

Yeah I see the upside I guess. One time in one of my leagues someone traded Lebron and Jermaine Oneal for Theo Ratliff Raef LaFrentz and Speedy Claxton. No one voted against it but me. If I were commish and it came up, I would have put it down. My point is that we're counting on people to be very attentive and pay due dilligence with this thing which might not always be the case. Not a big deal probably.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeszir has kindly allowed the winner of this league to receive a custom user title. If you already have one, you can give it to anyone you'd like.

[ksushi]

Hey, if anyone is interested, I'm shopping A-Rod and I'll probably trade him before the season starts to the highest bidder.

[Optimist]

Stockers, what would you want for Cano?

[26 to 6]

Hey, if anyone is interested, I'm shopping A-Rod and I'll probably trade him before the season starts to the highest bidder.

Yeszir has kindly allowed the winner of this league to receive a custom user title. If you already have one, you can give it to anyone you'd like.

I'm wicked naive I guess...and even though I'm not involved in this...I gotta ask. What's a custom user title?

[stocker323]

See how under your name it says Double A, well if you win the league then you win the opportunity to put whatever you want under your name, like how you see some other people like myself, YanksHater, RSR, jsinger etc.

[stocker323]

Optimists, I would have been looking for another starter but no one on your team really interests me, at least no one which I'd be able to trade Cano for.

[ksushi]

If anyone is interested, I've got a couple offers from a couple different people on A-rod and I will probably end up dealing him soon. If you want at him, send me an offer.

[dirtdogman5]

Sorry to self promote like this, but I created a Yahoo! custom league and need people desperately. The draft is tomorrow (3/20) so I know it's really short notice, but if you can join, I'd quite appreciate it. It's H2H with 25 roster spots to fill.

Draft: Monday 3/20 @ 1:00pm

You sound like a certain agent ( Boris ) that says the same thing.

Except I've actually got offers... haha

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Good point. You actally made a trade.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I have a question, When does the first week start and end ?

[stocker323]

I have a question, When does the first week start and end ?

The first week goes from April 2 to April 9. Generally the weeks go from Monday to Sunday but since there is 1 game on Sunday there are 8 days in this week for Week 1 only.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

The first week goes from April 2 to April 9. Generally the weeks go from Monday to Sunday but since there is 1 game on Sunday there are 8 days in this week for Week 1 only.
Cool. I'm feeling pretty good about Sunday at least. Since BoSox34 doen't have a player from Chicago or Cleveland.

[ksushi]

I just realized that my team is ridiculous.


... That is all.

Sorry.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Is that a good or bad ridiculous ?

[schillingouttheks]

I'm pretty sure he means it in a good way.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I'm pretty sure he means it in a good way.
Take a look at his trade and proposed trade.

[ksushi]

Take a look at his trade and proposed trade.

Huh>?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Huh>?
A-Rod for D. Wright and J. Bay first trade. Proposed trade, R. Haliday & J. Bay for J. Giambi. In other words, you would have traded A-Rod and R. Haliday for D. Wright and J. Giambi. Yea, that makes sense. Not.

[ksushi]

erm... that was a joke. that message thing i made?

I didnt even ever propose an official trade. How dare ye slander my reputation. I am the billy beane of fantasy.

Ha, well in the first two weeks I've been demolished in HR's. I make up for it in SB's but still...

[stocker323]

Everyone in this league make sure you read the Commisioner's note made by schill regarding the presence of BoSox34 in our league.

[schillingouttheks]

Yes, please do. 4 players are untouchable in the free agent pool, as BoSox34 has tried to screw up the league but I locked him down so no real damage was made. I will just be adding those players back to his roster when their waiver period is up. More details are in the commissioner's note.

Sorry, and thanks for your patience.

HAHA, I saw that. He dropped some studs. I was going to pick them up, but they had shitty stats. :lol:

[Optimist]

No one touch the players that he has dropped. I will be locking his team and adding them back to his roster. If anyone attempts to pick up these players there will be a punishment that will be decided at a later time.

For the record, I tried to add Damon before this announcement.

[schillingouttheks]

Okay, but just cancel that waiver request.

[He Hate Me]

That was pretty gay of BoSox34. If you're not interested in playing, then just quit. Don't try to screw up the league.

Yes, I dropped him immediately.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yes, I dropped him immediately.
Thanks

[schillingouttheks]

Through more of SFOC's generosity, $100 cash has been added as another prize for this league. Thank you SFOC!

:o

SFOC is amazing, Thanks a million!

[schillingouttheks]

I thought it would be better to hear everyone's voice in this, considering it's a whole league issue. I was PM'd by BoSox34, the content of which included an apology for being dumb, and a promise to stay active and participate well. The PM:


Hey,

I would like to apologize for being immature and being stupid by dropping the four players that I dropped before I was locked. It was dumb by me but I made the move out of frustration. I was wondering if you could please unlock my team as I will promise to play fair and consistently check my team and the league. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you and good luck for the rest of the season.

BoSox34

Considering the fact that he did once try to screw up the league, I'm leaning towards keeping him locked. There is now a cash prize for a lot of money to go along with the custom user title, and after what he did I just don't think he deserves a spot back in the league. What are all of your thoughts?

[YanksHater213]

Let him participate, just he shouldnt be eligible for the bling fucking bling cash money shit.

[stocker323]

Let him participate, just he shouldnt be eligible for the bling fucking bling cash money shit.

I agree. I also am wary about his future participation in SFoC's contests. I'll leave that decision up to SFoC though.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I agree. I also am wary about his future participation in SFoC's contests. I'll leave that decision up to SFoC though.
I also received a PM pretty much saying the same thing with regards to contests. I do have the clause, "must be a member in good standing". But I pretty much interpret as, not being banned or on probation if there is such a thing. I did state thet I wasn't thrilled about his attempt to screw up the league. Sometimes in the heat of an arguement, things get out of hand due to the heat of the moment. But what he did after a few days to calm down was intentional. I'd say keep him locked.

[ksushi]

I vote to unlock. Second chances never hurt anyone. I don't think he'll do it again honestly... that is if i have a vote. Again, I don't know what is going on.

Umm, probably a dumb question but, how'd he get unbanned in the first place??? :dunno:

[Sox Fan on Cape]

My guess would Yeszir.

[He Hate Me]

unlock, BUT not eligible for the cash prize.

[BoSox34]

Has there been a verdict?

[schillingouttheks]

I don't think I'm unlocking you. I know regardless of whether I unlock you or not, you are not eligible to win anything. That being said, there's seemingly no point in letting you participate. You almost seriously fucked up the league once, and should something happen again...well, I'm not taking the chance.

[ksushi]

Why does my team suck? I'm even checking it everyday. This is horrible.,

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I understand.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Why does my team suck? I'm even checking it everyday. This is horrible.,
It's a long season. Make new acquitions, trades. etc.

[ksushi]

Eh, I just don't feel ok giving up on the guys I have because I know as soon as I do they will all go on DiMaggio-esque hitting streaks and belt 3 homers in one game, etc. etc.

I am the king of the deadline move though, so hey

Hey, just saying don't give up.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Did anyone else notice that the results from Friday 5/12 didn't get intergrated with the match-up totals ? It's almost like the results were lost.

[He Hate Me]

That's an interesting trade between Beasts and yankshater

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, I'm thinking about voting against it myself. That was pretty ridiculous.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

That's an interesting trade between Beasts and yankshater

Yes, very interesting. In his first action since May 10 th, he dumps some of his best players.

[YanksHater213]

:dunno:

I havent been able to access yahoo fantasy sports from my computer at home so I havent been able to stay active, and hes been bugging me to accept these trades for weeks, so I just did it, I honestly didnt even look who was in it.

[BoSox34]

Is there any way I could be reinstated for the playoff push? I understand that I irked some people when I dropped those three players earlier in the year, but I guarantee that nothing like that will happen again. I have talked with SFoC and he said it's up to schillingouttheks but i am ineligible for the prize and I am fine with that...I just want to be unlocked for the fun of it so I can see if my team can do well in the playoffs. Please consider it, thanks.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, I believe you in that it won't happen again. As long as you manage your team seriously, don't trade your players away in BS trades, and understand that you're ineligible for prizes, then yes I can re-instate you. You understand these conditions correct? :lol: I feel like a contract right now.

[BoSox34]

Yup, I understand.

[schillingouttheks]

You have been unlocked.

[BoSox34]

Thanks.

[WildThing58]

Just a looking for an opinion on a trade i just made in fantasy baseball. It's nothing to do with this league. I traded miguel tejada for carlos guillen and paul konerko. Who do you think got the better deal? Thanks.

[ORS]

I look at it in terms of upgrading. You downgraded SS, but how much of an upgrade did you get at 1B? Who was your 1B before?

[WildThing58]

I had aubrey at 1b. But in terms of fantasy guillen and tejada have very similar stats. Tejada has a few more homers and guillen has more sb's. Everything else is pretty close.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I had aubrey at 1b. But in terms of fantasy guillen and tejada have very similar stats. Tejada has a few more homers and guillen has more sb's. Everything else is pretty close.

In that case you got the better of the deal. Congrats !

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, I think you got the better end of that deal as well. But it doesn't matter how fair the trade was, as long as in the end you both get what you need. He could look at the trade and say Konerko was expendable because he had a good backup, and obviously Guillen was because he received Tejada. He could have just been looking to upgrade his SS, and nothing more. Even though Konerko is a big thing to let go of, his new 1B could be just as good if not better. Who's his 1B now?

[WildThing58]

Yea good point. The reason i made the trade was to try and get mor hr's and it seems like konerko is more likely to hit them than tejada. For the most part. And yes he has a good backup in Ryan Howard.:o

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, you made a good trade. Ryan Howard :lol: that's exactly why Konerko was a throw-in piece of that trade. Who's his utility?

[WildThing58]

His utility is Travis Hafner and Felipe Lopez. He has a stacked team. He's in 1st and i'm in second. And i needed a change to make a run. I hope ensberg can come back to old form but you never know. We'll see.

[schillingouttheks]

:lol: Well, in that case, you both made damn good deals. I think you only helped his team though. But at the same time you made yourself better.

B. Hawpe: just dropped him for jim edmons who is playing like the old edmonds.

i had giambi and traded him for damon since runs and sb were more of an issue for me, i had NJ and Puljos at 1b so either giambi or johnson had to be benched at a time and i always benched the guy who went 3-4 with 4 rbis.

i was going to pick up 2 guys since i have 2 pitchers on the DL but i'm leading the league and actually don't even miss them :-D

Some of those guys are from retarded waiver moves people made, I.E. Royalsfan dropping Utley for Bill Mueller, and a stupid trade from someone else giving me Halladay for Rolen and A. Reyes.

I am in 1st by 12 points or so.

[schillingouttheks]

I have a feeling you obtained some of those players from some kids who didn't care about their team anymore.

Like the Halladay trade.

I dunno though, it is a pretty good team. Is it a head to head league or rotisserie? If it's head to head, how do bye weeks work? You just don't do anything for a week?

[Coco's Disciples]

Rotisserie, yeah I obtained some of those guys from stupid trades (Halladay) stupid drops (Utley) and just overall bad drafting from some guys.

[Jon_Papelboner]

You did a pretty good job on me.
Thats what she said.

[ahhchon]

rotisserrie is silly, (i play it in my for shits and giggles league) play head to head, it takes a lot more skill.

so i just lost liriano for the season, boo to that. oh well, i got double digit wins from him. i'm really hoping my young guns hold together. verlander, lester, liriano, all rookies.

kazmir, harden and peavy, all under 25. gotta love the keeper leagues.

john

[Sox Fan on Cape]
