Re: Prizes To Go Out On Friday
Why didn't the direct deposits go out first? :?: I thought the whole idea behind choosing the direct deposit format was so that we would get paid faster than those who chose to be paid by check. Now we are told that Greg will try to move direct deposits to the front of the line :roll: .That sure sou...

Re: Prizes To Go Out On Friday
I guess that I am a little late to this thread but just want to throw in my 2 cents here. With all due respect to Tom and Greg there has been one delay story after another. Going back to mid October when the direct deposits were due by October 15 we have been told checks would be out and direct depo...

I have to say that i am a little disappointed with all the delays in getting prize money sent out :roll: We keep on getting new dates for money to be sent out but these dates keep getting pushed back later and later.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Please talk me off a DFS ledge
I'm confused as to how a $2 entry into a contest with 100 people in it can award a $10,000 first prize. He entered a 50-50 contest and then "thought" he copied and entered the $10,000 contest. Later he found out he never confirmed the second contest. All he won was his 50-50 game. Ouch. Exactly... ...

Re: Miguel Castro
Yeah, I said that in another thread when he was named closer, but it didn't stop me from bidding aggressively in my Benoit leagues. My problem is that managers (in all professions) should strive to put their employees in a position to succeed. Makes everyone happier in the long run. Well Gibbons di...

Re: I know it's early, but...
So now I hate catchers as well as closers .Maybe we could just use dummy placeholders like we do in my AL-only and NL-only leagues and punt catching completely .

Re: Betancourt to close in COL?
Well that didn't last very long. Adam Ottavino has now been named as new closer. So much for the reign of Betancourt as COL closer .Maybe Weiss finally recognized that he was the most skilled RP in that 'pen.

Re: Best Wishes For Tom Kessenich Today
I have endured back pain myself back in the late 1970's. Actually had to be hospitalized and put in traction for 5 days . Eventually got past it with many hours of physical therapy. Wish you a speedy recovery and return back to good health in a timely fashion.

Betancourt to close in COL?
Rockies MGR. Walt Weiss has " temporarily" removed LaTroy Hawkins from closer role after 2 blown saves and 5 ER in 2.3 IP. He has indicated that any saves in the near future would go to Rafael Betancourt :o , who did not pitch in 2014, instead of the expected closer -in-waiting Adam Ottavino :!: . A...

At the rate that players are dropping we will need to fill our rosters with AAA guys pretty soon . Looks the overall winner will be the team with 23 healthy bodies on their roster !

Re: Cecil out as Jays closer
That is a ridiculously quick hook. Makes you wonder how much leash Gibbons will give a 20 year old who has never pitched above A ball before this year. I would not be going all in on Miguel Castro to be the closer long term. Might be prudent to stash Cecil if on your roster until this sorts itself ...

Re: Cecil out as Jays closer
I watched the TOR-NYY game last night and I must say that I have to fault Gibbons as much as Cecil for blowing that game. Gibbons brings Cecil into a 3-1 game hoping to get a 6 out save! :o Those situations rarely work out well. So, Cecil uncorks a wild pitch to make it 3-2 and with runners now on s...

Nolasco that is. He is consistently dreadful. Before the 2010 season, I had a buddy telling me how good Ricky Nolasco was. When I tried to discuss Ricky's lack of success, I was told, "You've got to look at his peripherals." I responded, when Ricky's ERA is 5.06, I can't get to his peripherals. I s...
