blackhawkpat Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 TOMMY has already made me three trade offers and we haven't had the draft yet!Everyone is invited to play. There is no money involved or anything, but we do ask for a committment that once you start playing, you continue throughout the season. Once we see how many we have, we can discuss how we want to do it. If we have enough, maybe we can even consider a beginners divison and a veterans division for players? That was suggested last year.The first year, we played total stats per week, with points awarded for where you finished, 1-12. (Boo!)The second year, we played head to head competition stats every week, and had standings based on the results. (I LOVE the head to head, but I really want a balanced schedule if at all possible to make it fair.)I'm open to anything, but we need to get our commitments as soon as possible, so we can set up a draft day and pick players. We waited too long on hockey and it never came off, though Marv and I joined a league with his friends.Where's LC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfc1 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I wrote to The Commish over a week ago but haven't heard back from him. The good times for a draft at Yahoo! are filling up so we should grab a time slot. I will do so, if the group would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Y'all just let me know when the league is formed so I can sign up... and I'll be at the draft is possible... if not, I'll still play my heart out... and do my best to torment TUNESy...

LC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'm here, and will get on the ball, so to speak.... Our "good times" have to take into accout that we have East as well as West Coast guys and girls, so I usually try for around 8 p.m. East Coast time... Let me check it out...Commissioner LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Okay, invites are e-mailed. Jeff and BHPat, thanks for your gentle nudges... I'm ready to play, and to go all the way.Pat, I wouldn't expect a landslide of new teams (in fact, I have a feeling we'll lose a couple of owners). But... I'm open to a bigger league, or even to a 2nd league. So... if any EC.comers want "in," pop me a private message and we'll get you the invite.

Paulie Mississippi Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm signed up... but it's showing as an auto-pick league, not a live-draft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm signed up... but it's showing as an auto-pick league, not a live-draft... Paulie,I fixed that... It's now a live auction draft.... I messed up when I started the league, but it's adjusted now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleJay Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I saw that is was auto draft, and said to myself 'huh-what?'. Thanks for fixing that LC. I would hate to have my team picked for me. So draft day is three weeks from today? ... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I may be interested if you have a vacancy Mood, You're in if you want.... I'll send you an invitation through EC.com.

BeatleJay Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Are we still sitting at eight teams? I know there are more baseball fans here than that. Last year I didn't commit until the last minute. I have been a baseball fan my whole life, but had never played fantasy baseball. It is alot of fun, and challenging. So if you're reading this thinking 'maybe I'll play'- I would encourage you to sign up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 We currently have ten of last year's group of sixteen signed up for this year already. Still waiting on TOMMY, Marvin, Harry, Lew, Popdude, and Laura. No one new has taken the plunge yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 We might have a new owner coming on board -- not sure yet. As for the missing owners BHPat has mentioned: Tunes will be in, anxious to get his title back (right, Tunes?). Lew will be in; he traditionally signs up at the last second (but don't make us wait that long this year, Lew!). I'm pretty sure Harry will be back... without him, who would take all those Phillies? Not sure what PopDude, Laura, and Marv are thinking, but let us know. As for any potential new owners who are thinking about it... BeatleJay, your note bears repeating: "I have been a baseball fan my whole life, but had never played fantasy baseball. It is alot of fun, and challenging. So if you're reading this thinking 'maybe I'll play'- I would encourage you to sign up."I've been in a league since 1992, and I'm telling ya... It makes baseball a lot more fun. For me, it's a way of following the game. I used to read box scores in the newspaper; now I check my fantasy team, because in the process, you can absorb the "real deal."I wish JohnO would play.... John-O! John-O! John-O! John-O! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 PS: For folks who are "in": I'm going to put this up for discussion.... Last year, we had trade approval/veto fall into the commissioner's hands. I wonder if we might be ready to go back to trade review by owners? We did that two years ago: Each of us could vote to approve or veto each trade. Things got out of control, so last year, we voted --- just barely --- to give Commissioner LC (me) final and only say on all trades. How are you guys and girls feeling about it this year? I know I squashed a few trades, and I felt bad about it, but I was just trying to do what was best for the league.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I wish JohnO would play.... John-O! John-O! John-O! John-O! I can echo that sentiment... John-O! John-O! John-O!!! We want John-O, we want John-O, we want John-O..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
