Re: Shandler Park

I've always asked the question, "Would this be fun and challenging enough to play for bragging rights alone?" Ummmm, NO. DFS would not exist without the CASH; I was looking to create something more intrinsically focussed on the GAME. Your motivation for playing is not my motivation. I love the game...

Re: BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

Ray, With all due respect is 2015.... I ordered a product from your company on December 1st a time sensitive product at that.... On January 7th I still don't have the product and cannot get a single person from your company to even acknowledge a communication. You could list a 1,000 reasons why and ...

Re: BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

I haven't had a problem with delivery of product, but I am subscriber to the site (of course). Don't know if that is relevant. Hurricane Wayne not sure you are a good example though. The issue is how much they care and how they respond when they are not able to execute... Hope to see you in Vegas. ...

Re: BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

I am well aware that Ron does not run in it anymore. I always chuckle at a conversation I was a 3rd party to. Ron is discussing the baseball hq business with a former nfbc player and in my mind is being a bit condescending or bothered by the conversation. Why is this business lightweight conversing ...

BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

Am I the only person who thinks their customer service is absolutely horrific? I ordered a forecaster about 6-7 weeks ago. Call around Christmas and they say yeah we are just sending them out now. I got the impression they had to print more. Now nothing and no returned phone calls or emails. Not a w...

Re: Jordan Zimmermann

Not a fan of Fredi. I would make the change after 15 and try to find your guy going forward. I would also task Hart to spend some strategic dollars in free agency in hopes of having more pieces to deal at the deadline. Go sign me 2 outfield bats and one starting pitcher that you can trade for parts ...

Re: Jordan Zimmermann

Wayne, The Braves who as you know are my team too... Need to trade J Upton, D Carpenter and Gattis now. Listen very closely on Kimbrel and hopefully a rebounded Mike Minor at the deadline. You have to obviously be overwhelmed on Kimbrel. Wait out most of BJ's contract (still some bad in 2017) and ob...

Re: STATS has a new owner

Often businesses tied to sports have lower returns because too many people want to be involved in the sports world so they're willing to take lower returns or salaries to be in the business. The rare exceptions exist in the case of strong market power. I suspect for the new VC owner it's a little o...

An LOI essentially outlines the conditions of a purchase subject to due diligence and financing. Neither came real close and were ultimately surprised at what...

Re: Free Agent Spending Advice

I do it with a budget in mind. I do the budget right after the draft and always only budget 900 dollars. The last 100 is for flyers and injury replacements. I then update and revise the budget every month. I am not as worried about how much money I have as much as I have gotten the assets I coveted ...

Re: Main Event Nightmare

I like the squad. Come October Bailey is your number 2 starter. I have no idea who but one of Salazer, Gray, and Cingrani will perform like a number one. Now if the other 2 perform like a 3 and a 5 couple that with Lynn and Bailey nice staff.

Re: Mikey The Mouth On STATS Fantasy Advantage

just join his signature Super event. i'm sure they'll work out something for you to draft by phone I might be crazy but I'm not stupid. Don't know if you are stupid or crazy. I do feel like I have a pretty good pulse on the answer to the question of if you are annoying or more starved for attention...

Re: Draft Chamions Roster Construction

Hanley and Aramis Ramirez are exhausted from playing a season-high 2 straight games. Two excellent candidates for the next generation of Kevin Youkilis and Chipper Jones. Seriously.... come on. Chipper was a freaking warrior who would play hurt and still at 40 years old was playing 3b on a pretty r...

Re: biggest brawl in years Dodgers Dbacks

Never been a big Kirk Gibson fan. Last night proves my theory heck at least to me... He is nothing but a bully. Look at the look in his eyes when a fired up Mark McGwire is in his face. That is not the look of one tough SOB that is the look of a guy who would behave terribly different if it was Jerr...
