Originally posted by BadBlakes2010: New York Citi Field League 3 - Rosters are NOT loaded. Also,How in the HELL does one add an Avatar?Not through EDIT PROFILE obviously.Come on boys!!!Not much time to view free agents and set up bids and the HOLLIDAY weekend is fast approaching.I'm betting MOST of ...

If it's a 12 teamer then it's not an online main event. For a second I thought some online main event folks had lost their minds.

Thank you betting man, but quoting crazy locks is a bit like drafting Albert Pujols. You can't go wrong. Let's have some more fun with this as people seem to be all ears: Q: What is this deal with the stolen bases? How many do you need? A: People seem to have a fetish with this category, which is, i...

Originally posted by NorCalAtlFan: hated to see a rod fall to rt. but then again, at the 4 spot, he was guaranteed a super stud. pained me to pass ellsbury, but i liked j upton at 25. rt is certainly a force. i'd wish him luck, but the only luck i'm really wishing him is bad ;) Upton as Justin Upton...

The list of our past main event champs is very short. There are only six of them since 2004. So feel free to use your overdose of skepticism on the following statistics. -You can be "adequate" in your average and stolen bases, but you have to dominate runs and own HRs and RBIs. -You can be "adequate...

I don't think Cruz falls in the same category as McCutchen and Cargo. Nelson Cruz missed about 100 ABs last year, some cause he was nicked up, some cause the Rangers were using that chickenshit OF rotation with Bird Jones JHam Murphy and even Borbon. Well, two of those fellas are out and Cruz will h...

Back up the truck baby. I had no problem with Pujols falling to three. :D Glenn [/QUOTE]You can make an argument for any o...

Originally posted by Fast Money: I'm in a draft right now and one team has not taken a pitcher after 14 rounds. What is the strategy? This is $500 and I'm new and don't understand. Your task just got easier....10 people to beat! Reminds me of someone last year who drafted only closers in my satellit...

Originally posted by luck and skill: Thanks for responding to my question, guys. AZSteamers, are those Lindy's winning stats, or the greatest number for each category for everyone who played in the online game last year? I was trying to find Lindy's final stats. Yes, they are his - team Joe Vandal [...

Originally posted by luck and skill: Where can I find the winnng category totals for last year's Online Championship? I have looked in the NFBC RESOURCES, last year's message boards, and cannot find the winning category totals. Are the Online Championship Final Standings with category totals posted ...

Just enjoying day one people. One point wins, overtime, double overtime, buzzer beaters, 3s and 4s going home, and a maybe 2 too if Ed Hochuli's cousin was not refereeing...and a 15 pt Huskie comeback and the day is far from being over yet

enjoy it too...

Have you ever seen anything like this?

It's THE MOTHER OF ALL MADNESSES!!!

I wouldn't be that pesimistic...you're just banking on several of your players to be candidates for CPOY award

BJ Upton, Hamilton, Bruce, Qualls

if that happens and Guerrier& Downs get to close and Aceves ends up as the Yankees 5th starter, you're gonna be competitive

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: They will be announced tomorrow, but it's going to be torture for you folks because I'm doing this from a hotel room, using a laptop. It's going to take me a long time to get these 21 leagues posted, but I promise to be ready at 11 am. Enjoy the long ride tomorro...

Originally posted by MB123:

My league says that they are not announcing the teams in my league until the 24th....weird Word from the commish is league participants and draft orders will be announced tomorrow at 11 AM.

Originally posted by Glenneration X:

Accurate or not, I think most players like my math better.



Glenn Lol...no kidding! I love your math too, I wish we would have gotten 90 percent.

Unfortunately, it's not true.

Originally posted by Glenneration X: Let's do the math.... 30 teams x $1300 = $39,000.00 $39,000.00 - $17,600.00 for two leagues at current prize levels = $21,400.00 $21,400.00 x 80% = approx. $17,000.00 $17,000.00/29 leagues = approx. $600 per league New league prizes 1st - $5,500.00 2nd - $2,600.0...

To me fairness comes down to this simple question: Are my chances of winning equal to the other 434 entries? I would say YES. -Nobody is stopping us from drafting any player when we're up, provided they're available -Nobody is stopping us from picking up any free agent, provided we bid the highest -...

In a perfect world, we would have all the leagues full by now and drafted at the same time. However, this is not perfect and the organizers are trying to balance making the classic more popular and pleasing us all. I may be in the minority, but I do not see an extra day or two as such a great disadv...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: Greg, Can we assume that the 2nd weekend leagues will be also the next Friday at 11am. It would not be fair for one set of drafters to have more prep time with their spots than the others... Especially weekend time. That would depend on getting 12 more players in...

I think Freddie's got a point here. ADPs for the first weekend will be known by the time the second weekend rolls on, so there's no point of having the drafts at the same time. Needless to say, 10 AM is not the ideal time to do anything serious in Vegas as the brain is still pretty much farting. May...
