EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Since Lightning Flik suggested I should have my own thread, and I'm an attention hog, here it is. I've started two leagues of my own. One AL only league, and one NL only league. These leagues are run a little differently. The AL league will have 14 teams, and the NL league will have 16 teams. So in essence, the number of major league starters will match the number of fantasy starters. That means someone gets tuck with Alex Cora. The leagues are rotisserie format, with an autopick draft. First come, first served. AL Only League ID: #15302 Password: thesmartmarks NL Only League ID: 15355 Password: thesmartmarks
Lightning Flik Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Signed in both Leagues as CRIMSON STORM~!

Lightning Flik Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I will be the 1st baseball Triple Crown Winner! Bow down before your Undisputed champion of yahoo games. NL only. I'll be the first ever QUAD Champion Raza. You may own the basketball league, but I'm NOT letting you win this one. Or the others.
razazteca Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Bah my team of UnAmericans will defeat whitey at his own game.
Lightning Flik Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 (edited) Bah my team of UnAmericans will defeat whitey at his own game. Dude, did you just call me an American? I'm insulted. Seriously, I've said it once, I've said it a hundred thousand times. I'M A FREAKING CANADIAN~! Shameless Plug: Check out my new diary I'm working on as well! Edited February 19, 2004 by Lightning Flik
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Posted February 19, 2004 There's six slots available yet in each league. As an aside, since Tom stated his policy on dead teams, I will NOT dissolve teams.

Seriously, I've said it once, I've said it a hundred thousand times. I'M A FREAKING CANADIAN~! Shameless Plug: Check out my new diary I'm working on as well! No my team of Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Koreans, Blacks will beat whitey at his national past time. Last year there was a big deal about "American born blacks" not playing baseball but playing the other sports instead. Its all about the xenophobia and insecurity about the man not measuring up to the competition.

Since I added "Shameless Plug" at the bottom. That should've told you that I'm not really angry and making light of the situation.
Bored Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Rebels of Oakland (flik's league), The Gallegos (Tom's leage), Nippon Ham Fighters (al's NL league), and BillBavasiOverdrive (al's AL League) will be bringing home four titles!
HarleyQuinn Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 the Gotham Harlequins shall bring the championships back to Gotham! Aided by the usual Arkham villians or something...heck, we'd probably abduct the players and force 'em to play for us or else suffer torture and yes, we're the heels of every league or at least should be.
razazteca Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I'm bringing in the cheap labor (1000% Guapos, TSM2 Khans Revenge, TripleCrownChampion)
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Posted February 19, 2004 Still open spots for whoever wishes to join. I decided to increase the amount of bench slots available on the rosters.
the pinjockey Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Signed up for both leagues ChrisSaboGoggle-rama
the pinjockey Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Al, I think you addressed this in another thread (I forget/can't find it), but when is the autopick draft?
HarleyQuinn Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 When all the teams join up, the team owner then sets if their rankings are "ready" and when all teams are ready, the autodraft occurs
the pinjockey Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Ah, I see. Guess I will get them in tomorrow then. The benefits of a job with little workload and lots of computer access.
HarleyQuinn Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 and remember to exclude players who are injured for most/the whole season. Don't want to get stuck with an Aaron Boone eh?
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I joined both. Fascinating I know. what's the over/under on when Boone gets picked? I say third round.
the pinjockey Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I wonder if Albert Belle is still listed.
HarleyQuinn Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I'll say 8th round since he was ranked in the 700's or so
HarleyQuinn Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Get friends to join...last checked, we had 10 in the AL and 13 in the NL
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Posted February 20, 2004 Don't worry, you will have plenty of fair notice for the draft.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Posted February 21, 2004 Just 3 AL slots left, and two NL slots. Hurry and sign up before the league fills!
razazteca Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Anybody going to take a chance of drafting Ken Griffey Jr.?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Posted February 21, 2004 Considering there's already 14 teams in the league, that amounts to 280 players drafted, out of 400 National League rosters spots. Obviously, he'll get drafted. Where, is the question. He's ranked 100 overall, so if anyone forgets to set their auto-draft, he'll go about the 3rd round.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Posted February 22, 2004 I changed roster positions of pitchers. Instead of 2 RP, it'll be 1 RP and 1 P. Obviously there's only 14 closers available, but I realized the old system would give an advantage to starters who used to be relievers.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 I've had requests to do a live draft. I'll set up live drafts for the leagues on Yahoo if a majority is agreeable. Those who couldn't make it would draft automatically just as before.
razazteca Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I likey the Live Draft, any day or time will be acceptable.
