NFBC Message Boards

Ummm. I've never won a penny in what like 4-5 years or so of the main. So, can we have a category for lose at least 100%? I'm guessing statheads would claim "small sample size" so keep trying. Conversely, I won the first and only league I played in at my rookie NFBC season. My paranoid size has me ...

Chris Volstad - R - Angels Angels signed RHP Chris Volstad to a minor league contract. MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez broke the news. Volstad will receive an invite to spring training. It looks like a nice landing spot for the towering 27-year-old right-hander, as Los Angeles is thin in the rotation and b...

How many teams turn a profit over time? Although I like having an overall $100k prize, I have otherwise argued in general for more flatness in the fantasy prize structure because it keeps more teams in the game (as does a higher % payout, of course). Running a random simulation based on last year's...

I can't believe nobody on these Message Boards is talking about the 2013 World Series. These first three games have been pretty interesting and they are filled with umpire decisions, managerial decisions and player decisions. Where do we start? How about starting with that game-deciding call at thi...

What if a Friday game is postponed before the scheduled start time? Can we wait until Saturday to start players? Let's say we have 2 OF in that game and 1 open OF spot. What if teams play 3 innings but the game is postponed. It does not count as anything in the MLB. If this happens on Monday, will t...

Guess he's in the clear! Whew! Glad to hear it was not Bryce, but sad to see more of this stuff going on. Then glad that breeder guy got caught IF he was fighting the dogs!

Dogs owned by Eagles' Brown seized in suspected fighting case » Amy Worden, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Last updated: Saturday, June 29, 2013, 10:57 AM A pit bull and her seven puppies belonging to Philadelphia Eagles running back Bryce Brown were among the animals seized in a suspected dog fighting opera...

David Ortiz leads the AL and I think the MLB in intentional walks. Really? Why doesn't Cabrera lead? Hunter has been on base a lot this year and Jackson, so it can't be the open base with runner(s) on 2nd or 3rd excuse; that it has happened more for Ortiz. Cabrera is much more dangerous than Ortiz p...

I guess I was wrong after all. He pitched to Cabrera all night, and then brought in that good ol' lefty to face a lefty for Fielder. Even though, as the stats show clearly, Fielder is destroying lefty pitching all year this year. I was surprised to see him fall for this lefty/lefty hoax I see again,...

As the margin for error gets smaller and smaller, the frustration grows...

Every pitcher I start it turns into a cyclone raining earned f@cking runs and it happened again already today. I really could care less at this point anyway.

and if he has been rehabbing all this time; why is this knee "low on strength"? It's not strong enough? I don't know, but probably just feels weak to him because he has not been running at all on it since the surgery. I think he just needs time to keep running on it if he even is.

I love and hate this f@cking game.

There was preseason talk that he could be ready in late June/early May. At some point, the "my knee is not kicking right" started up. Basically, when he started to run is when the problem was realized that something was still wrong. Those who drafted him and held him until recently did get screwed o...

Down goes Uggla!

Who else had Lasix surgery recently in baseball? Minor leaguer? I forget.

I know the make several mistakes and do not edit their writing all that much; and normally they do not get stories right. Here is an example they might finally be learning: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the "belief" inside Patriots headquarters is that Aaron Hernandez was "not involved" with th...

Grienke Also took Gregerois knees off on hard but legal slide breaking up a DP. Grienke is one tough SOB... Two dodgers hit in the head tonight... Kennedy is going down big time for this... that is sick and busch... I'll admit I did not see this yet, but busch league? Nah, pussy league is what this...

Not sure what the problem is here; every day of baseball a good pitcher can have a bad day here or there.....this is no different than any other; except that it happened consecutively instead of a little more spread out. Ya know, like Garza or Lester today. I'm pretty much going to throw ERA, WHIP, ...

Is Puig this year.....last years Trout?
This is wild.

Is this something or what? Dude gets trees mailed to him? Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa

Anyone know the typical amount of games he gets suspended if found guilty since he plead not guilty? I guess he can play until his trial and thereafter if no jail time. Does MLB wait until trial to suspend him?

Fantasy baseball or biggest b**ch I've ever known?

yeah......baseball
can always find a replacement for her
but who wants to miss a baseball season?

Hey what is the purpose of Letting some owners be annonymous on the sign up list in DC Football? If two ppl are anonymous in DC league 19 then why not make them all anonymous.... Are those two teams privileged? The whole league should be anonymous I guess.. There is nothing in the rules about anony...

All and all, let's not forget that Braun tested POSITIVE already. He got off on the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life. We know he was roiding or juicing, etc. Yet, just like Lance Armstrong, he will continue to protect the lies. Maybe we'll see him on Oprah too pretty soon.

Here you go: Tie game bottom 8th. Tigers have runner on second with two outs. Maddon intentionally walks Miggy (okay lots of managers might do that). The next move is why he "gets it" as he brought in a RIGHT-HANDER to face Fielder (the lefty). Why? Because Fielder is batting over .400 against left...

Look at yesturday: Wandy, Strasburg, Peavy, Beckett, Cueto....and others not included. I'd actually be for expanding rosters by two more players.
