Virtual beer for changing your team name Saturday night. Good one!!

Originally posted by Top Dawg: My AL Auction is fine now; but the Don Mathis League was last updated after the Friday games. Nothing yet for the Saturday or Sunday games. This makes it very hard to set lineups as I like to see where I can pick up points each week. I hope someone can get the Don Math...

Originally posted by coops: To review---- The issue is not that a team waived Mussina and Pedro. The issue is that a team 50 points behind the money with 3 weeks to play waived them. Greg and the gang need to address waivers on a case by case basis as there can be legit reasons why a waiver like thi...

We're looking into it.

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: Seems to me to be a mute point- that BBDS is already off the table for 07 despite an overwhelming majority of the people who post here seem to want it.I think we have a small sample size for this analysis Chest. If I made decisions based on the loudest message bo...

Originally posted by Andy Tu La Daddy: Is a league based on this years playoffs a possibility? Not sure how it would work but figured I'd ask. Trying to make life without fantasy baseball one month shorter. We did a post-season fantasy football game last year and we had 135 participants at $100 each...

There are two issues here Eric worth noting, neither of which means that BBDS can't be done in the future. They include: 1) The novelty of BBDS, which is smaller in my view than the second one. With good promotion before the event, we can educate players on BBDS just as easily as we can educate them...

Looking at this week's list, it's possible to say that there are three players who could possibly be pulled from the free agent pools, but I've looked at all three cases and I'm leaving all three alone. All of the races are close this year and we will look at each cut closely down the stretch, but f...

Originally posted by Kevin D: The latest in screw ups by STATS is enough. No signups for 2007 until STATS is replaced?? Hey WALLA, ARE you IN?? Kevin, just so you know: Each owner selects whether they want the e-mail sends or not. You apparently have two accounts with us with two usernames and passw...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: I checked out my FAAB's at 5 minutes till and noticed that we were already locked out. One constant about STATS is that they never say," Yeah, we dropped the ball on that one". Interesting that a service industry company would have a customer is never right attitude. ...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: quote:Originally posted by Tom Kessenich: Here's the response from STATS: "We checked the time on the servers and it's correct. We have the current time posted on the free agent page specifically because we had users claim this in the past, so they can see exactl...

Originally posted by bjoak: Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the site? After I sign in, I get an all white screen that says "The requested resource is in use." I want to stare at the two homers Cory Hart hit today. Yes, there was a problem with our hosting facility overnite. It has been fi...

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: Greg, Don't mis-read my concerns. I have the upmost respect for all the teams in the top echelon, actually for most of the 330 teams. My beef is more with the team dropping them and that is where my concerns lie. Ecspecially when there are other very obvious drops. ...

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: In Greg I trust. However, like in the Eric Byrnes situation I disagree. I think these drops need to be looked at in the context of the team, and I don't understand any owner who has the prospects of either a couple of Pedro starts or a couple of Chan Ho Park starts ...

Originally posted by Moneymaker: My fantasy season is over, so I really don't have strong feelings about this -- but Greg, I disagree with your decision. I don't see any risk in rostering Pedro, and you've taken lesser players out of the pool before just to play it safe. There is nothing but upside ...

I'll look into this.

Originally posted by Moneymaker: You're the man! Good article. "The NFBC is a sort of Woodstock for the fantasy fanatic...maintains Greg Ambrosius..." I'm not sure why, but that really made me laugh. Great stuff. Press like this can only help the NFBC grow. I knew that John was looking for some inte...

Guys, we allowed Pedro to be cut in this main event league because Willie Randolph has already said that at most he will get three more starts before the playoffs. There is a risk/reward factor in Pedro being allowed during the last four weeks of the season. The owner who cut him obviously had other...

Here's a story I wrote today for our industry newsletter. I figured it would be of interest to fantasy players across the country: FUN TECHNOLOGIES ACQUIRES CDM FANTASY SPORTS FUN Technologies Inc. announced today that, through a wholly owned subsidiary, it has acquired CDM Fantasy Sports. FUN Techn...

I have removed Huston Street from the Ultimate 2 free agent pool. Last year I left him in this private league after he was cut and regretted it. I know he's on the DL, but a closer of this caliber for the final month is best left off the FAAB wire right now. Good luck everyone.

Originally posted by Spyhunter: Hi, Greg, I just wanted to let you know that the KDS didn't do very well in the Mathis league. RT and I both set our systems a 1-15 and I received the 14th pick and he received the 15th pick. So in essence, there was zero difference using KDS than from using a random ...

Originally posted by BEF: I think that if you can't find a downtown Tampa site, take a look at St. Pete or Clearwater, which are both hungry for corporate business (and the local hotel rooms are much less expensive than in Tampa). I love Orlando, but if you want to go catch some games while in town ...

Originally posted by Auction King: Hi Greg or Tom, are there lifetime standings for auction leagues. Granted it is not as sexy as the main event, but still would be interesting to see. We never did get Lifetime Standings going for the auction leagues, but you are correct it's a great idea and severa...
