Whoa! Congrats. Missed that chapter of the Mayberry Method.

Yea after conception you have to verify pregnancy. The DR. gives you a letter/number combo like BABY54SG and that determines the overall course of the pregnancy.

congrats Yo!

Ummmm....RotoBaby is due in November & yet RotoBoy is claiming to have mastered the Mayberry Method. Pfffft....sounds like quite the opposite...me thinks you may want to utilize other forms of birth control than this Mayberry Method thing.

Congrats. Hoping it's a Low-Investment, 5555 grade baby!

[Bjs2025]

^ LOL thank you, sir

[MadCow Sez]

Congrats Rotoboy...you life is about to get "interesting"

All the best to you and family

Thanks man. Already been a stepdad but this, I'm sure, will be much different.

Brian, I expect to see some new Spring 2019 videos with you and a baby bjorn - though not behind the wheel of a car I hope. I guess you could always refresh some old videos and photo-shop in the baby. LOL! Seriously, congratulations! And I apologize that I had to back out this year so I can't improve upon my bridesmaid finish. But you have some top o the line competitors this year. Best of luck! Dave

Thanks Dave...definitely photoshopping the baby in. Actually, maybe I will give him or her a team to run next year and see if they can hang with dad.

Only 6 more days. Be prepared to be "infected"! Plan accordingly.

Only 6 more days. Be prepared to be "infected"! Plan accordingly.

For some reason I'm not afraid. This year I've cracked the code with a strategy that cannot be beaten. Some special sauce I've come up with below:

Use $200 on my hitting
Use $60 on pitching by drafting pitchers all with a specific underlying skill set similar to that of Drew Pomeranz

I call it the Pom Plan.

Seriously though, looking to go wire to wire 2 years straight.

To help everyone out, here are some additional auction tips I put together last year for tomorrow's draft.

time to beat Rotobro day. Or does he repeat as league champ. Get your popcorn ready! And you tube videos!

[COZ]

I'm popping antibiotics & hoping to get through this thing alive what with Rotoboy's special sauce & the VIRUS preparing to infect us all. Scary stuff.

Darik will buy beers for anyone who has ever heard of your catchers:)

Virus was down to dollar players after like 2 rounds..he bought everyone early and obviously went pitching and speed and BA. will see if it will work out. Things normalized after all that happened:) Good auction. Everyone did well. GL with rest of leagues.

Am sure rotobro will chime in shortly...and yes he got Buster Posey again:)

Pretty sure Logan Ice was Bud's ill fated cross promo with Hugh Jackman for the last Wolverine movie.

This looks like a yahoo mock auction. Spend crazy then log out? But in all seriousness without seeing other teams I have this team between 95-100 points. Nowhere near competing for the top. But we will see. Good luck.

This team will be in the low 90s in points just like every other team that tries this gimmick.

I was being generous with my 95-100. You are right though it's a gimmick that has been tried over and over again. 95 pts if everything goes right with no injuries. I would expect more in a $500 NFBC auction. One less team for Rotoboy to worry about. Actually this team helps the top team with all the top SB and SP on a team that can't compete.

Your team is lopsided in average with no steals. Who is your 9th pitcher? It’s a $300 team, so you’re in the top half. Not close to last year’s team.

9th pitcher is one of 4 shit guys in a given week. Yeah I don't pay premiums for steals like everybody else, that's well documented. You don't need them to win contrary to every article you've ever read. I completely disagree that this is just a "top half" team. But I expected somebody to come in and say something like that. Multiple people did the same thing last year and I lead the league for six months.

When will people stop doubting your prowess. Don't they realize you won a satellite league last year! Please consider naming your team Danger because you remind me of the character from Million Dollar Baby. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh-S4m7tMD8
