Crap...I knew this was coming. Being from Iowa I have had a hard time in the past signing up for a lot of games Greg mentioned above. I guess I will have to move to another state!

Hey Greg,

Was Washington the only state that barred its residents from playing this year?

In my opinion, baseball drafts are 10 times more thought consuming than football drafts. Football is 10+Reserve spots (total points). Baseball is 23+Reserve spots (10 categories) It clearly takes more time to navigate through the baseball software to get the player you want than it does the football...

There was some unbelievably good pitching tonight Bumgarner 1ER in 7.1 Vargas 6 hit SO Jurrjens 1 hit SO Westbrook SO through 7.0 Gorzy 0ER in 7.0 Masterson 1ER in 8.0 Lirirano 2ER in 7.0 Nicasio 0ER in 8.0 Kuroda 0ER in 7.0 Harden, Ogando, Morton and Nova held their own as well A. Sanchez and Arroy...

To be fair to Greg, I remember some board conversations last year dealing with the deadline that lineups needed to set by Friday. I believe the precedent was set that it was to be 5 minutes before the 1st game on Friday OR if there were no early games then it was the usual 6:55 pm est. Some people w...

I think an even bigger question is whether Greg should or should not "change things on the fly" Greg insisted in one of his posts yesterday talking about an email conversation we had "But as I told him via email, there is nothing in the rules to allow me to legally go in and change lineups today" As...

I know things go wrong sometimes. ie: Opening Day last year and this DL rule we are talking about. Its just disappointing when something is clearly stated and then turns around to be allowed. Its not the end of the world that this is going to be allowed to continue, just disappointing. I am sure KJ'...

I guess when Greg said "Nothing in the rules says this should be set up this way and I'm sure it happens very rarely. But going forward, if you start a pitcher who is on the DL and he comes off the DL before Friday's first game, as the rule states, then that pitcher will be locked in your starting l...

Copy and paste for more discussion from '09 and how it was going to be handled going forward:

This is the discussion from 2009. It is lengthy post from Greg informing us how it was going to be handled. I assumed that it was going to stay this way going forward.

The super secret edge for all fantasy baseball players going into next years draft is going to be who tracks down the guys who have wives that are pregnant. It's bad enough with all the players going on the DL let alone 2-3 missed games for paternity leave. Side Note: I support allowing the players ...

I agree with KJ. I was excited to open up the email to see what it would cost. I ended up trashing the email in less time it takes me to get rid of SPAM!

Well I didn't drop him last week but I didn't start him either. Of course I am starting him this week. I am sure he will reward me with miserable start :rolleyes:

This game is real fun sometimes-NOT!! So I am sporting a 4.43 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in my Main Event League (which I am in 1st by .5 pts. One of those great hitting, terrible pitching teams) So I decide to sit both Dice-K and Randy Wolf this week. They are 3-0 in 21 IP with an ERA of ZERO and have given...

Dice-K is now moved back to Monday due to the rainout in Boston today!! At least all of us who got sucked in on the 2-start week will only have to pay for one bad start instead of two. I hope I have learned my lesson in reaching for the "honey trap" of marginal at best 2-start SP's

Thanks for reminding me Chipper is 40. I am 40 as well but I might as well be 80 compared to what Chipper can still do at this age!

I have the same problem and I agree, it is very annoying

Sorry to continue this unsolvable riddle, but as my football coach used to say "they can have our playbook if they want it. They are going to need a lot more than that to beat us"

I have been trying for the last hour with no luck!

Having him several leagues only makes me wonder what could have been. I guess that's what I get for putting all of my eggs in one basket

I have a framed picture with Nolan Ryan's signature showing his bloody uniform and blood running down his chin. He is looking like he is getting ready to pitch again so they must not have thrown him out of the game!

3 tonight for Buck...What do you think he will go for where available in FAAB this week.

I agree with Snord!

It just got created. Thanks for the help Geoff!!
