Okay boys, we're a week away from the 1st annual MTM NY Metro Invitational Super League and it's time to rev up the smack talk. I'm starting to worry about this one maybe losing some of its luster with Mikey going quiet on us. Is everything okay Mike? ;) Folks should know that these owners have agr...

Hey guys - I'm going to be running a bracket contest on CBS sportsline. Complete your full college bracket and earn points for every win. It's a $20 entry fee so that there is a carrot at the end for the winner, but didn't want it to be too much. Main thing is for it to be fun. All monies would be s...

I dont think anyone is piling on. I think most enjoy when someone puts their team out there to be analyzed and scrutinized. I was in this draft too and found the strategy very interesting. It's not something I would probably do in an overall competition, but has a shot to win the league. Good job wi...

rather have Belt for $13 than Huff for $12

They are spending like it's going out of style. 16 players into the Auction, they've got 7 players already... Votto 40 Braun 38 Tulo 35 Harper 8 Belt 8 Kershaw 26 Greinke 26 Crazy isnt it!! 6 of the first 13 were there's.... I love this strategy so far! All those players went for less than they sho...

If you had a hitter who was 0-for-18, would you draft him thinking "he's due" or stay away from him, knowing he's WELL BELOW the Mendoza Line? Yeah, like you, I'd stay away!! Well, I've competed in USA Today's LABR League for 18 years and I'm 0-for-18 in the hunt for titles. I've been close through...

For those interested, SiriusXM is going to be carrying the festivities live with Jeff Erickson and Kyle Elfrink handling the analysis. The drafts are Saturday and Sunday at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT XM-87, Sirius-210 I will definitely be listening in. I listened to it last year and was a lot of fun. I still ...

I'll take a spot Greg. Thanks

1. I think Hanley will have another bad year and think that end of first/ early second is too early for him. I think he hits less than 20 HR with ballpark 25 SB and .280 AVG Here are the 3 reasons why: 1. I don't think he is going to adjust to 3B all, that well 2. Shoulder surgery will sapp his powe...

Great. Jupinka & Edelman smelling the chum after my entry and turning this already bad dream of a league into a shark nightmare. http://roqoodepot.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/jaws1.jpg I just remembered, ummmm, errrrrr......I had other, ummmm, errrrrr......unbreakable plans next Friday.....yeah, um...

Hey Greg, Will we have access to the draft room today so that we can fill up our queues in preparation for the next round of high-speed insanity on Sunday? Last week we were able to and it was very helpful. Thanks. No, we didn't set it up that way. The draft room will open at 12:01 am tomorrow. How...

Hey Todd - Thanks for answering questions this week. 1. I think Hanley will have another bad year and think that end of first/ early second is too early for him. I think he hits less than 20 HR with ballpark 25 SB and .280 AVG Here are the 3 reasons why: 1. I don't think he is going to adjust to 3B ...

Greg - Please add me as well. Thanks

I can go either way. A 10 min break to go potty after Rd 20 or much like Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber, I could make good use of my beer bottles.


If it takes 5 hours I'm good with no break. Doesn't matter to me

Greg or Tom: Lineups lock every Monday at 6:55pm (EST). Yet, when we have a special game such at the Patriots Day game in Boston the ONLY players that lock on that Monday are the two teams that are playing in the game. If you can do it here???????? Would it be possible to extend that lock on Monday...

Greg - Is it possible to improve the waiver wire (FAAB)? 1. Rather than click on conditional bids (players) to move them up one at a time. Could it be setup so that all you have to do is click and drag a player up and down on the bid list? This would make the FAAB process much faster 2. Also for Foo...

We need everyone to sign up for this draft so they are registered in the system. You can use the March 1 default date option for the $150 slow draft as you would with our other leagues. We'll set the KDS deadline for Monday morning so everyone should sign up and get your preferences set by then. al...

Pablo honey. Please put down that red velvet cake and go play outside.

Thanks for welcoming me aboard Mike. I figured you guys were looking for a donation so I decided to join. Should be fun. Glenn has actually told me in confidence that he is scared of this league. I told him that I was going to join to help put him out of his misery. No grown man with any sense of di...

This just in.......... Manager of Glenneration X traded to the Seattle Mariners for player to be named.

Originally posted by Geoffrey Stein: As one of the few people in this world who has heard Tom Kessenich sing, I highly recommend him for the opening festivities for the 2011 NFFC and 2012 NFBC in New York. I would classify Tom's voice as a mixture between Jesus and Fergie, but his stage fright has k...

After doing some research on this kid, I tried to grab him wherever I could.



He has 3 major league ready pitches right now and his changeup is not far behind. I think he is going to make it very difficult on the Orioles to send him down again.
