Wait...your ass got another one?

Fucking Carpenter...christ...

fucking Complete games fucking suck...

[POJO_Risin]

Well I offered the fucker to every team in the league...lmfao...

[Fairwrning]

Berkman wenr 2-3 with a dinger today..if Rolen and Tejada would wake the fuck up i could make a game out of this

[POJO_Risin]

Oh...I'm sure they will...the weekend is coming...

[Troy]

NO, I mean Al's two complete games he got this week. We're playing each other.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...but wrning...that fucker...has two as well...and of those 8 inning variety he was bitching about last week...

[POJO_Risin]

Schmidt got hammered today...goddamnit...

[POJO_Risin]

And Morris isn't doing any fucking better...

fuck it...

I'm toast this week...

[Fairwrning]

not by a long shot yet Pojo..you have 5 wrapped up and a few k's and a win or 2 and you'll eek it out...

[POJO_Risin]

Dude...Schmidt's ERA is going to be ridiculous today...over nine...and Morris isn't much better...

trust me...I don't have 5 locked up....lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Gagne is in...a former sure thing...let's see what happens today...

He started off 3-0 to Zeile...got him to pop out to the catcher...

1 down...

[POJO_Risin]

Floyd struck out looking...that's 2 down...

Gagne's looking good...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...a 1-2-3 for Gagne...

2 saves in about five minutes...Izzy grabbed one as well...

2 innings of shutout ball...that will help offset Schmidt a bit...

and Jason did get 8 K's...and considering he only pitched 3 2/3...well...not to shabby...

I need Santana to go off tonight...

[POJO_Risin]

It's always good to see my guys get into an idiot double play...

you gotsta love a strike out throw out for Tex and Blalock.

Nice...with Soriano on deck...the fuckers...

[Lou]

Well I garnered 3 wins today, two from relievers...looks like I'm on my way to about a 9-3 win over WARF.

Ah how fun it is to fuck up other people's playoff positioning :D

[Lou]

Well WARF caught me and passed me big time in homers, but nevertheless I still won 8-3-1.

Gee who was the "LOUser" this week? :D

[WARF]

Congrats lou!

I thought my comment would light a fire under your ass!

My team is just not connecting.

Plus, I am suffering from players I dropped earlier in the season.... that I should have kept.... like AJ Burnett and Carlos Lee.... oh well...

I picked up Troy Glaus off the waiver wire last week... and now I have Pujols... Drew... and Cabrera in the outfield!

Sweep?

We'll see.

[WARF]

Does anyone give a shit who wins 7th place??? lol

[ALinChainz]

Still time left, can still make 6th, that makes the playoffs.

Ain't giving up.

[Eyes of the Night]

Holy half game outta 6th batman! ... I have the tiebreaker too don't I Trizoy? ...

10 games out Al ... this is the last week ... I would pay to see that miracle Al;) ...

[Troy]

I don't know about the tiebreaker and could care less. If I make the playoffs, great, if I don't who gives a crap.

It'd be cool. Why else play if not to win, or do the best you can.

:D

[Troy]

you have a good shot Al, no doubt. You really creamed me last week. I can see it happening.

[ALinChainz]

Can honestly say, thank God for football.

[Troy]

Amen!

you said that right AI, I cant wait too.

[Lou]

Well as this is the last week, and POJO has a 13½ game lead, this week is meaningless for him.

But it's not for me...I'm 7 games behind the 9th place team and I'm playing for pride this week to try and not finish in last place.

[Fairwrning]

why is there an asterik beside my team name at the yahoo site??!!;)

[redblkwht]

Most popular..Team favorite, the peoples champ? I dunno

Question of the week.............................................. .


Can Lou beat the top seeded team in the last week of the season?
I cant believe ya Lou, you are on a TEAR.
Im torn, i dig both ya'll, but hes beaten everyone in the past 4 weeks including me & warf..lol
Can you weather the storm, is the complete question!
I hope it comes to sunday for a winner. ;)

[Lou]

I'm hoping, for pride. It's really tough those as POJO has the best pitching staff of the league.

[POJO_Risin]

The ole' dump the pitcher's strategy...lmfao...well...take what you can get...doesn't mean shit to me...

[POJO_Risin]

That being said...your offense is playing well...

[Lou]

Here's the thing--I think I have 3 starts left. I can't beat you with them, so I'll leave it up to the relievers. And my ERA and WHIP are keeping me in it, and a reliever can't fuck that up too bad. So yes, it's clear exactly what I'm doing with that. I'll take the losses in wins and whatever else to preserve the ERA and WHIP.

[WARF]

Welcome back pojo!

I'm trying to set my teams for next week.... when this hurricane hits us tonight!!!

I have everything in my house stablized!

Like I said...do what you gotta do...it's meaningless to be honest...I haven't done shit with my team all week...

Know this Lou...if this game meant something...and you did this...I would terrorize you...;)

Good luck WARF...you dodged the bullet with Charley...

I hope you do the same with this shit...

looks like it's knocking on your front door though...

god speed bro...

if you want...I can set up your team for next week...

just let me know before you can't...

[WARF]

Thanks pojo.. im all set till tuesday...

If my house gets fucked up.... it won't matter who sets up my team!

So i'll play it by year...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...let me know WARF...I can certainly hook you up if you need me too...I have that power...

[POJO_Risin]

The asterik's by the other three teams mean we clinched a playoff spot...

the one by your name means your gay...

First of all, this is essentially my World Series of the year, beating you despite that it's a meaningless game for both sides. Well not technically for me but practically as I'm not gonna be able at this point to make up 7 games.

Second, if this meant something, and you were in my position, I wouldn't care if you were doing what I'm doing. In my opinon this is the same thing as intentionally walking Barry Bonds...you do what you have to do, you employ whatever strategy you have to employ to win. It's not cheating, it's just strategy.

[POJO_Risin]

Like I said...if this meant something...I'd terrorize you...game or not...

it's like Ted Williams sitting out to hit .400...

[POJO_Risin]

You have to employ whichever strategy I suppose...which is fine with me...I could give a shit less...

be interested to see where we stand tomorrow with Morris pitching a complete game 2 hit shutout...with 11 K's...

and Santana going seven with a 1 hitter...and 11 K's...

2 more saves with no runs...

hopin' the WhIP gets below you...so I can bench my staff...and lock up five of six pitching categories...then I'll just hope I can hang on to any offensive category...

Frankly...I could give a shit less about this week...but hell...if it's your world series...I might as well make you work for it...;)

[redblkwht]

I love competition & junk talk.


GIMME A HELL YEAH IF YOU LOVE
TO TALK SMACK!

[POJO_Risin]

Stone Cold is doing the commercials for Ozzfest...on a sidenote...

[POJO_Risin]

Shit...I'm fucked...

Ponson threw a 2-hit complete game shut out against the Yanks...plays for Lou...damn it...he's going to pass me in whip...and tie my complete game...oh...wait a second...that's right...he didn't start anyone...and emptied out his staff...;)

Thank you...;)

[Troy]

Eyes and I are both at 4 going into tomorrow. A tie will be fine with me because that will put me a half a game up...

[Fairwrning]

[POJO_Risin]

The race continues...

I'm very fucking beatable as well...damn it...

my offense reaks...

[Troy]

If I make the playoffs, that's a success for me. The 'non-fan' makes it to the playoffs...

[POJO_Risin]

I agree with you 100%...but I have to tell you bro...you know that your competativeness would keep you in it...

[Fairwrning]

especially when im spankin that ass!!!: :moon:

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...you two fuckers may be playing in a playoff baseball series...and week one of football...

How much better could it get than that...

(Now trying to burn out the vision of wrning "spankin' that ass.")

[Troy]

Yeah how crazy is that? Me and wrning in two leagues playing the same week... That's pretty cool.

[POJO_Risin]

Troy...you have to get there first...

[Troy]

blah blah blah... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

Nice...heat from the Mudflap...

let the games begin...wait...I'm not playing you yet...but if you get in...and get by wrning...me and you bubba...;)

[POJO_Risin]

Of course...I have to watch out what I'm saying...I could lose in the first round...and not even get to you...

wait...I have a bye...;)

[Fairwrning]

damn Troy..it looks like you are gonna be a half game short bro...Eyes pulls it out

[POJO_Risin]

Is this a sure deal?

[POJO_Risin]

God I Love that picture...lmfao...

[Troy]

There's no sure deal, we're still tied. wrning's just scared! ;)

[POJO_Risin]

Goddamn it...

Izzy got fucking lit up...

See what I get for actually playing my players...

take the Win Lou...but know this...I DIDN'T pull my team...and I could have...

[POJO_Risin]

Knowing wrning though...he checked every damn stat...lmfao...

[Troy]

Is he the official Roth Army statistician???

[POJO_Risin]

Actually...that would be WARF...unless he dies in the hurricane...

[Lou]

Well then you should have. You manage how you want to manage, I'll manage how I want to manage.

[POJO_Risin]

You managed like a pussy....how's that for sincerity...

No offense Lou...still like you and all...but if you did that shit in a league I fucking paid in...and I'd be coming to hunt you down...

Shit like this makes me have to add idiotic rules...

I set the fucking IP at 7 like I do every year...so that we wouldn't have to fucking worry about shit like that...

and the damn two weeks leading up to the playoffs...bam...

it happens twice...

Alls I will say is this...it's in the rules this year...so have your fun...but don't bitch and moan to me next year when I set the IP to 30...instead of 7....

Like I said...I've gotta fucking worry about the entire fucking league...not just my team...and I can see it now...

a good team gets bounced out because of 1 goddamned start...

it's horseshit is all I'm saying...

It's like the hidden ball trick...you can get a guy out at first every game...

but you don't...

because you know you'll come out lookin' like a jizzbag...

Like I said Lou...I don't have any issues with you...cuz this ISN'T a pay league...but you can bet your ass it won't happen next year...

[POJO_Risin]

Now if you'd just quit being a fucking hardass about it...you can at least admit that point...

[POJO_Risin]

It actually makes me chuckle...and know this LOU...I would never in a million years...pull my entire fucking staff...

so I did manage my way...and you did manage yours...

pullin' your fucking team...lmfao...if you can't admit that was a pussy move...then my respect for you will drop immeasurably...

because you know had I have done that...you'd be callin' me out the same way...

[POJO_Risin]

With that being said Lou...

congrats on your win...;)

[Eyes of the Night]

Wella, it was a great first half for me ... the second half was a nightmare ...

Alright you fuckers, good luck to all if I don't make da bracket ...



See you next year;) ...

[POJO_Risin]

That you will Eyes...that you will...

[POJO_Risin]

I did have some fun watching your fucking pitching rotation...

now that...my friend...was something...

[Troy]

You'll probably make it in Eyes. I don't have enough offense this week.

[POJO_Risin]

The wait for tomorrow begins...

who's in...and who's out...;)

[Troy]

That sucks having to wait.

[Eyes of the Night]

That's the thing I never got ... It wasn't THAT bad compared to Red dropping and picking up 6 players a week ... the same ones! lmfao ...


I dunno Troy, my O never showed up the second half ...

[POJO_Risin]

They post around 4 AM ET

[POJO_Risin]

Oh...you and RBW killed me...his steadfast starters were better overall though...

[redblkwht]

at least i dint pull my pithcers out today to lock the ERA & WHIP..
that was a bullshit move.
my cubs & marlins players didnt play for 3 days if you werent off the pipe to see, i had to get offense for
3 players for friday sat & sunday...
see, i paid attention to my O more than my pitch.

[Lou]

Well POJO that's your fault for setting it at 7 IP then. Because I CLEARLY went over that:

Wed. 9/1: 6 IP
Thursday 9/2: 8.1 IP
Friday 9/3/: 3 IP
Saturday 9/4: 1 IP
Sunday 9/5: 1.2 IP

Total: 20 IP.

I also think setting it at 30 IP is unfair if your starters have a bad week and can't get to 30 IP, no matter if you play all of your pitchers. Perhaps 16, 18 IP?

But anyway, I did nothing wrong. Here's another example in fantasy sports of doing something like that:

Let's say you're in fantasy football, head to head, and you have a ½ point lead over your opponent going into Monday night's game. Your opponent has no one left to go. You have one guy left to go. Are you gonna pull the guy to ensure the win or are you going to play him, risking that he'll get negative points as the victory is solely yours to lose, just so you're more of a "man"?

In real life, I suppose when there's a base open and the game's on the line, the pitcher shouldn't walk Barry Bonds? Or what about if a game goes extra innings. You're the road team and you're up by a run over the home team in the bottom of the 13th. There's 2 outs. The guy due up after the hitter you're facing is the pitcher's spot, and the manager has no one left on his bench to pinch-hit except pitchers. Are you gonna walk the position player to get to the spot where a pitcher has to hit? Sure you are.

So anyway, quibble all you want, but I'm allowed to do whatever the hell I want in terms of managing as long as I'm not breaking the rules. I didn't break any rules. No rule says, "You may not bench players to ensure a win in a particular stat." Boo-hoo. You're the one bitching about this like a girl.

[Lou]

Here's another one in real life--a football team is up 3 points with 5 seconds to play. They're on their own 20 yard line. They have the ball but couldn't quite run out the clock, and they have to punt. So if they run backwards 20 yards, take the safety and kill the clock, I guess that's being pussies too, because they weren't "man" enough to punt the ball.

[Fairwrning]

Evidently Troy is in..more wins..and that's who my stattracker is showing me as playing...
but on my league homepage..it shows Eyes as 6th..and also in the playoff bracket that way....i guess it will straighten itself out...

[Troy]

To lose on a tie breaker... damn

[Fairwrning]

and im guessin Troy won the tiebreaker..thats who it shows me playin

[Fairwrning]

Jenkins sittin on my bench with a homer and 3 rbi's..meanwhile Abreau is 0-4..that may hurt

[Troy]

In the playoff bracket it show you and eyes

[Fairwrning]

mine just changed..now showing me against Eyes...i guess less losses is more important than more wins...
fuckin Mesa got shelled tonight..my ERA is gonna be high enough that Eyes will bench his pitchers..my offense needs to keep on clickin..get wins and k's...ill be alright

[Fairwrning]

ya know...I don't have a problem if somebody wants to sit pitchers out to save stat wins..it's smart and legal, quite honestly..that's part of "managing" a fantasy team..the goal is to outwit and beat whoever you are playing...
that said..Eyes...i may fight fire with fire this week..get me a few wins and k's early..ill sit 'em;)

Dude, bullshit? C'mon man, I was trying to lock up the 6th spot and besides it was unintentional and don't any relevant wineing for it ...

Alright i'm back to kick some fantasy ass...

The hurricane was a nightmare... and i'm gonna be busy all week doing volunteer work... there are still 500,000 people without their electricity... and there is ZERO gasoline throughout the state of Florida... I just hope that Hurricane IVAN makes a turn...

[Fairwrning]

Glad you made it thru Warf..
Hey Va..are ya feelin that "oh shit " feeling yet??...If my boys keep rolling...i can take ya;)

[POJO_Risin]

Baseball is still being played?....lmfao...

[Fairwrning]

Tejada fans with the bases loaded...can you say "missed opportunity"...fucker

[Fairwrning]

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...those are the at bats that could end the series with you and Eyes...

[POJO_Risin]

I'll join...even though I missed the first two games...I keep forgetting...

[Fairwrning]

Man...the A's are royally blowing it...

[Fairwrning]

[POJO_Risin]

Shit wrning...that's great for CC...I think as he gets older...you'll see that from him more and more...he has great K potential as well...

[POJO_Risin]

Nope...they are done...unless a miracle happens...

Originally posted by fairwrning

They'll be in the mix next year...

[Fairwrning]

Shoulda countered the moves bro, good luck Va Beach needs
some competition, id go get some pitching & lighten up
your line-up, youll need it , VA has many closers so that
category is locked by him..lol
I cant counter Pojo's offense if i get in.
I'll need a no mistake week if i do.
1 more day with Warf, i see the lead trimming today.
We shall see.
Off to the game, have fun guys with the football thread-

[Fairwrning]

offensively..no reason to counter..im not gonna go after pitchers everyday..i have ERA and WHIP locked up i think..2 wins ahead ..behind in k's...its basically gonna come down to whoevers offense has the better day...

[Fairwrning]

ive beaten VA both times this year..hopefully i can get a 3rd shot...

[Fairwrning]

only problem with eyes' move today..they are all pitching against quality teams....he may eek out 1 win...and he'll get k's...like i said..its comin down to offense..

[POJO_Risin]

My offense bites ass...

[POJO_Risin]

I haven't paid any fucking attention to anyone...I need to look...;)...to at least see who the fuck I'm playing...

[Fairwrning]

fuckin christ...im gonna lose because Rolen and Hafner took the fuckin day off...unbeleivable

[Fairwrning]

Id like to see one of the old crew win it all though.

Bastard...

At the very least...4 old-schoolers in the final four...

I'm not even sure what my score is...

anyone know?

[POJO_Risin]

Boston won last night...didn't they...

2 1/2 back...I'd love for them to smoke NY...sweep both series...

[POJO_Risin]

God I hate Yahoo...server maintenance...on a Saturday morning on their fantasy boards...

during all of their baseball playoffs...

nimrods...

[POJO_Risin]

I hate fucking Yahoo...hate the fuckers...

Yahoo blows...

way to get that server work in on a Saturday morning...fuckwads...

[redblkwht]

Looks like shaping up to be VAbeach VS Pojo for the gold..

FW, it may be us in the 3rd place final lol.. we spoke too soon;)

[POJO_Risin]

It's not over yet...I haven't looked at the exact matchups...I know I'm up 10-2...

but Lowe got fucking sandblasted yesterday...

[redblkwht]

Ya right, put a fork in me..i got my eyes set already for next
weeks adjustments, too many holes, i saw alot of major
drops this week i may ante up on.
I regret losing Vlad, but still hung well with the aftermath
im happy with the outcome & the anyone can lose
this week league, what an enjoyable ride!
all the teams were very good, this year was exceptional
between everyone.
im wondering about a keeper next yr?
lol

[POJO_Risin]

I don't know...

just remember...I didn't bring it up...;)

[Fairwrning]

Rolen not playin this week killed me...good win VA...ya fucker

[redblkwht]

15 games left can the Cubs sqeak in?
fucking nailbiter to the END.

see ya tomorrow FW..lol ;)

[POJO_Risin]

RBW...do you have any idea how close it was...

I somehow managed to win the WHIP...on the last second...

or you would have won...

I won...6-5....

dude...that was unreal how you came back...

that being said...

Va...two old schoolers for the title...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Honest to God, I am absolutely fucking shocked that I was able to win...

My pitching, really my entire roster, has been fucking anemic for a couple of months now...

You're right FW, losing Rolen really hurt you....

Not that I'm shedding any tears, mind you.... ;)

I don't expect the championship to be very close, but we'll see....

[POJO_Risin]

Well Va...I honest to christ shoulda lost last week...

I was up in average by 50some points on Friday...lost that...lost the hits on the last night...

lost wins...in a tie...lost the ERA because of Lowe...somehow won the whip on the last day...thanks to my closers...or I'd have lost 6-5...

but I pulled it out...

Va...you have a consistent team...and I have a streaky team...

over the next span...it oughta be interesting...

and I lost Soriano...which may kill me...

[POJO_Risin]

Va...pulling a pojo with the...

"I don't expect it to be close...but we'll see..."

LMFAO...sounds familiar...

by the way...

I expect Va to win...

but we'll see...

I stopped keeping count on fri, i felt it was a done deal.:cool:

[POJO_Risin]

I went to bed thinking I'd lost...

[redblkwht]

Well good luck to you both, i got my hands full again..

Im 1-1 vs FW, when he blew thru the whole league sweeping
everyone, i caught him a few weeks ago to tie our series.

BTW wheres Warf been? nice victory bro.

[POJO_Risin]

Well...Va's got a good team...just consistent down the line...

I had a good day today...my DRays went off...

[redblkwht]

I never predicted a final like these two...
Feliz is on a tear had to pick him up.
How bout the Giants pounding the ASS-TROS?

Schmidt set for tomorrows sweep? that would be huge!

[DlocRoth]

Ok you sonsabitches, whos winnin? I had to stop by and see whats goin on. The doorman didnt want to let me in, sayin I wasnt playoff caliber.

Next year its on. Poj, didnt I come in 3rd last season? I forget.
Anyways, good luck you fuckers!

Dont forget the Yahoo "B" league, goddammit!!

I spose I coulda checked the site for the standings, but I figured Id just fuck with yall instead. LOL

[POJO_Risin]

I'm up this year...

and DLoc...didn't you finish in second last year?

Maybe not...

2nd or 3rd...

B League...yeah...I better go set my roster...

[Fairwrning]

damn..we're close RBW...you have lotta starters today..i gotta hope to steal ERA...gonna be interesting..congrats on the title Pojo..almost wire to wire..not bad

[POJO_Risin]

Don't have the title yet bro...still a long way to go...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Oh puhleeze, you can save the Lou Holtzism's....

It's all over but the shouting...

Bastard.... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

Well...call me Ishmael...

everyone has full access to our web page...

so if you all think that I've won...

then I'm saying nothing more...

Chripes...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Alas, nobody ever remembers who finishes 2nd... ;)

Once again, my knucklehead trades fuck me up....

Helton for Craig Wilson....

Let me repeat that, Helton for Craig Wilson....

Christ, I wasn't even drunk when I proposed that trade !!!!

Dropping Jack Wilson at SS didn't help either....

Combine that with major injuries to a good chunk of my pitching staff, and I was lucky to finish 2nd....

[POJO_Risin]

Is it me...or do we still have another week to go for fuck sake...

THE FINALS ARE TWO WEEKS LONG!!!!!

you still have a shot Va...

set your damn lineup...

and read the damn rules...

lmfao...

I should have kept my damn piehole shut...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...Helton for Wilson isn't going to help you much...

and I almost said no...

I actually said no...for a week...

but then took it on a whim...just wanted a damn deal...

lmfao...

but that's not your worst move that I took advantage of...

you actually bolstered my team in another way...

JOHAN SANTANA...

without him...I'm not in first place...

[POJO_Risin]

I wanted that guy in the worst way...Santana...

and you were in a bind when you cut him with all your pitchers at a premium at a time...and he was biting dog...

so it wasn't a mistake at the time...

but turned out to be in the end...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

LMFAO !!!

I didn't see your post until just now, but I looked at the standings this morning, and I saw someone still making transactions, looked at the schedule, and what the fuck ???

Fortunately, it only cost me a win with Arroyo, and a dinger with a couple RBI's from Varitek (first time he's hit since the Carter administration)....

I don't even remember having Santana it was so far back, so I had to look back at all of the transactions....

April 25th...

Fucker... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...but look at what your staff was doing on the 25th...and Santana was suckin' ass...

I just got lucky...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I just don't think I'm gonna muster enough offense to overturn a couple of those categories and make it close....

Anything possible, like Craig Wilson actually having two hits in a game....

[POJO_Risin]

Well...you know as well as I do that you are close enough in enough categories to catch up...

we'll see...

my team has a habit of screwing up down the stretch...

Johan didn't win today by the way...

[POJO_Risin]

RBW 3rd place...

Va 2nd place...

Me 1st place...

Nice league gents...I'm going to keep this thread open for offseason chatter...it was a long season...but fun as hell...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...the football season here at the Army is over...Basketball league is sucking...but...

Baseball is around the corner...

If you are interested...let me know...I'll accept up to 12 teams...

The regulars are of course a lock...still wondering about Troy though...

Here's who I know about already...

1. POJO
2. Va Beach
3. DLoc
4. Al
5. RBW
6. WARF
7. Troy?


I'd bet on these 7...

if anyone else is interested...or...if anyone on that list isn't going to play...let me know...

after the first of the year...I'll start the push...

[DLR7884]

I'll play if you need someone.

Any cash involved or just for fun?

DLR7884
I'm serious.

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...that was quick...

lmfao...

it's just for fun...football is our serious league...no cash yet...but moving in that direction...

I don't like playing the cash deal on the web until I know the players involved...

but if you want in...count on it...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Just let me know when Santana is available so I can release him in April again.....

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...the move that singlehandedly won me the season...;)

[redblkwht]

Hell yeah, yahoo again bro or ESPN? ;) check the options
& eyes pays for your team too lmao!!

[POJO_Risin]

No...just yahoo for this league...it's not a keeper...so I'm not that interested in a pay league...rollin' with the freebie...

[DLR7884]

Count me in.

DLR7884
Prepare for some competition! :)

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...let me say the same to you...

we had a great fucking league last year...good people...all good ole' fashioned army soldiers...

so right now...as it stands...

1. POJO
2. Va Beach
3. DLoc
4. Al
5. RBW
6. WARF
7. Troy---you are playing you bastard...
8. 7884

Christ...already rolling with 8...not a bad start...

What about Lou...you rollin' this year you no good bastard?

[tjvhou812]

i will take a team if there are any left

[POJO_Risin]

I'll put you in with 7884 with a team if the league owners from last year step out...

I see y'all in...

so we now have...

1. POJO
2. Va Beach
3. DLoc
4. Al
5. RBW
6. WARF
7. Troy---you are playing you bastard...
*8. 7884
*9. tjvh

first two slots if teams back out from last year...

[WARF]

I'd like to have the Pujols Miguel 1-2 punch combo again! LOL

[POJO_Risin]

And to think...I won the league without one of them!...you bastard...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

You know 2 or 3 people will drop out, it always happens....

[POJO_Risin]

Who am I forgetting about?

[redblkwht]

EOTN, High lifer? i cant remember, was it lou bro?

Why wrning...do you know someone I forgot about?

[POJO_Risin]

;)

[redblkwht]

LMAO..he gotcha bro! so how many it it then bro? 9-

[POJO_Risin]

No...10...there's nothing quite like pissing off wrning...

[redblkwht]

hahahahaha.. im sure so we going with 10 or you want 12 again?
im thinking 10 could have everyone with a DEEP bench..i could
really dig that.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...but a deep bench takes away from the managing piece...

I liked winning this year because I had to work my ass for it...

came from 11th to fucking first...

[redblkwht]

True so landing another two could be good, anyone in mind?
id like to see an old schooler in there..

[Fairwrning]

Tejada?? I beleieve i had him last year...i made him ny no. 2 pick..brilliant!!;)

[Fairwrning]

[POJO_Risin]

Originally posted by fairwrning

No...Cabrera you stupid ass...;)

[POJO_Risin]

Personally...I don't want to have a live draft for baseball....

IMO...it takes a lot longer to do a baseball draft than a football draft...just more to wheedle through...

My vote is for a autodraft...

but can be shifted...

[Fairwrning]

Originally posted by POJO_Risin
No...Cabrera you stupid ass...;) oh..;)

never mind...auto is fine by me..i have a slight problem tho..i cannot get into ESPN's web site..locks up every time..that is the only site that does this..any ideas's what the hell is wrong with my puter??

[POJO_Risin]

What exactly happens...does it freeze up?

[POJO_Risin]

I know I had trouble with ESPN early in the year...cleaned out my cache...and it eazed it out...and I haven't had any problems since then...

but it never froze...just took forever...

[Fairwrning]

it will load about half the page and then i get a box saying site is not responding..

[Fairwrning]

I got rid of the ESPN motion crap...didnt help

[POJO_Risin]

I actually had ESPN issues today as well...

I hadn't tried to get in earlier...but at about 5 I did...and couldn't...maybe they had a slew of folk rollin' through lookin' for playoff shit...not sure...

[redblkwht]

Any you guys betting on the hall of fame?
sure bet is Boggs..whos the #2 man? im hoping not a closer again
we dont need a new trend, players deserving more credit..;)

im hoping Ryno makes it, fingers crossed..hes my reason
to converting to cubdom, ala black sheep of the family..
all sox fans, lmao (yuk)

[redblkwht]

special mention..steve swisher..ROTF..:rolleyes:

[redblkwht]

Any idea on a draft day yet roughly? thanks in advance bro ;)

[POJO_Risin]

A week before game #1...whenever that is...

As soon as they open up the leagues in February...

I'll open up the draft date...

no live one for baseball...no fucking way...so don't bring it up...lmfao...
