Brady - which auctions are you running Friday?

Greg - all those folks running from mixed made us think you brought back word from PHX that the reunited Perps (with TWO original members!) had the thing locked up.



Word on the street is that Jack is bringing a sweet over/under Rob Mackowiak beer bet...

Carl Fox. My kid Bud testified against Gekko and now spends his time creating, rather than living off the buying and selling of others.



LV Main Event - saved from last place in '05 by Team "25 Giant F***in' Nuts"

Looks like my team from last year...

The only ones missing from that picture are the Kalpoe brothers.

Greg -

We added someone yesterday and got him in our line up prior to last night's game, yet 'week 0' shows our 'pre-FAAB' roster. I understand that during a 'typical' week free agents wouldn't be active until the following Monday, but was that the case for 'week 0' as well?



Thanks!

Strike up the orchestra: "One moment in time~~~~"

Originally posted by : With all due respect 4perps I don't think that an increase of 8RS, 7RBI, 3BA points, 8HR, and 7SB is such a drastic difference that it's not plausible in his development cycle. I think the 340 HR's raised a question about the numbers. Taking a marginal player's 162 game HR ave...

Those projections look a little rich. If the ball is going to be that juiced, then 300 HR's will be nothing.

Originally posted by msamuels: The proof is in the pudding. I think that whomever actually wins the $100,000 prize should post their draft list and all the moves that they made during the season. I am sure that the team owner(s) will be considered anything from "a genius" to "a lucky sob". But, it i...

It's a simple game, made complicated by those who wish to profit from it. Funny part is, whoever wins this thing could probably go out, write a book, describe how he drafted his players, and he himself will have disciples as well.It's just going to take time. If the NFBC survives and grows (and othe...

I'm in LV4 and it won't even show my roster or any other league info, for that matter. You up and running yet? We're in LV5 and have nothing setup. It's Greg's understanding that everything is good to go.

I'm still seeing nothing - sounds like something's messed up.

Enjoy! GG, you're a treasure. Don't go changin'!

Is anyone seeing their roster on our league page? For a brief moment the other day it displayed a list of teams, but now it's back to pre-draft status with nothing showing. (Just wondering if our login is whacked, as folks in other leagues have rosters loaded already...)

Originally posted by msamuels:

Any word yet on when we will be able to set our lineups? Hopefully not until basic league info, such as teams and rosters get loaded...

I hope all of this chatter gets saved for review at the end of the season. I'm sure no one here (except GG) projected Javy for 40+ dingers last season, etc. Somebody up here mentioned the concept that once many teams start using similar strategies the results become 'part of the system' and don't pr...

Originally posted by : good luck with everyone's pitching because we tried to take most of them ( we may finish last but we had a theory and now we need to see if it works) Nice to see something different in terms of strategy. In the general forum there are guys beating each other up over rosters th...

We watched the auction for a while Saturady night and had the same impression - definitely want to give it a try next year. Nice to have so much control over the character of your team.

But you can check your league rosters by clicking the ROSTER tab the clicking "roster grid". ...in some leagues.

Sucks for fantasy owners, but the Cubs are bringing back Milt Pappas to cover the lost innings.
