Quahogs -- Actually, right now I'm concerned about having bought Brian Roberts in an auction a week ago. Not looking too smart right now.

This is great news! It's too bad that Liberty took this long to sell it since we are only weeks away now. I already entered a bunch of H2H Points leagues with CBS, but am willing to give the new CDM a try. Will there be a Budget Baseball too or just roto?

yeah I agree... I have no funds left to play more games with now

I'd play a Budget game for $25 if there was one though...

could someone please enlighten a rookie interested in the diamond challenge?

I went to diamondchallenge.com and there was information about email/registration, but nothing (that I could tell) about the actual game itself.

Thanks.

Dave

Rockitsauce -- hopefully they'll have all the info up Monday.

Scottie -- Yes, they're doing all their roto games (I'm pretty sure he said that, anyway)

Congrats to Charlie, John and the gang. They are a great group of guys and I'm happy this has worked out for them.

Now Charlie needs to focus on his St. Louis Live Double Play league.

I know Charlie is busy with everything this weekend, but I had a good talk with him yesterday and he is very excited about the future of their games. I invite Charlie to jump on our boards when he has time to discuss the CDM games here if he wants and he knows he's always welcome to enlighten our guys. Feel free to jump in these waters Charlie when you have more information on everything.

I think their hope is to have everything up and running on Monday. Look for more news then.

Charlie, for those that won 6th place last year and would have gotten a free team this year, does that transfer over to you guys or no? Thanks man, happy that the DC is coming back!
