• Hey all, Just wanted to welcome Gonzalo to the league-he’ll be taking over the Sultans of Swat franchise. We’re still looking for someone to over Pat’s team (Guts), so please keep an ear out for potential owners. Thanks!

  ulick on January 16, 2024 2:09 PM

• Sounds good—we’ll keep the timely the way it is. Thanks!

  ulick on January 11, 2024 11:10 AM

• 9:00 pm works for me, Commish. Let's stay the course. Plus, Wander is available...

  Northern Rage on January 11, 2024 7:05 AM

• Hey all - updated my trade block, lotta guys including some prospects there. Willing to take on salary for the right player, looking for outfielders specifically.

  Oh My Gato on January 10, 2024 3:41 PM

• Thanks Rage! Hopefully we will be able to fill these slots soon. I’m open to going earlier than 6pm PST, but know that conflicted with some West Coast owners work schedules… Anybody not able to make it at 5pm PST?

  ulick on January 10, 2024 3:21 PM

• Happy 2024. Peter and I are actively recruiting. No bites yet. My apologies for missing the arbitration; evidently, my brain was on a self-imposed hiatus from baseball. Just like the Jays. Re draft, the earlier the better for those of us the east coast.

  Northern Rage on January 10, 2024 5:48 AM

• I'm pretty flexible so works for me.

  Oh My Gato on January 9, 2024 6:12 PM

• All right, let’s push to 3/12 at 6pm. Does that work for everyone?

  ulick on January 9, 2024 6:06 PM

• I'm out of the country traveling from mar 1-10. The rest of the month should be flexible.

  Tan Dynasty on January 9, 2024 5:05 PM

• Also, I just got word from Kevin that he also will not be returning for the upcoming season. This means we have two slots to fill. Please let me know ASAP if you know anybody that might be interested. I tried recruiting in my other baseball, but no takers so far. Thanks!

  ulick on January 8, 2024 2:18 PM

• Hey all, Happy New Year! Just a reminder that the keeper deadline is at the end of the month. I have also set Tuesday, March 5th at 6pm PST (9pm EST) as our draft day. Please let me know ASAP if this doesn’t work for you.

  ulick on January 8, 2024 2:18 PM

• Last call on arbitration! Only 6 teams have completed their allotments. Thanks! Dave

  ulick on November 14, 2023 2:25 PM

• Hey all, Only one week left in arbitration and most of you still haven’t completed your allotments. Also, still looking for someone to take over Pat’s team. Thanks!

  ulick on November 7, 2023 5:18 PM

• congrats Rangers and Bochy

  Guts on November 1, 2023 11:15 PM

• I always root for the NL in the World Series. But, I can't root against Bochy. Go Texas!

  Guts on October 26, 2023 2:37 PM

• Hey all, Just a reminder that arbitration starts this week and runs until 11/14. Also, still looking for someone to take over the Guts franchise—please drop me a line if you know anyone who might be interested. Thanks!

  ulick on October 16, 2023 5:03 PM

• Let's go Bochy!

  Guts on October 11, 2023 9:59 PM

• Congrats to the Twins. The Jay's SUCK!

  Northern Rage on October 5, 2023 9:20 AM

• Go Twins!

  Guts on October 4, 2023 4:46 PM

• Thanks Dave. Congrats to Rage and Jobu's and you.

  Guts on October 3, 2023 4:24 PM

• All right, still waiting on fees from half the league—I've received cash from Mike, Peter, Pat, Chris, Gordon, & Richard so far. Please PayPal $50 to ulick33@yahoo.com so I can pay out the winners. Also, please let me know if you know anybody who might be willing to take over Pat’s team. Thanks!

  ulick on October 3, 2023 1:27 PM

• Sorry to hear that as well Pat. Take care of yourself sir. Congrats to Rage as well.

  Oh My Gato on October 3, 2023 1:25 PM

• I’m really sorry to hear that, Pat! It’s been a real pleasure competing with you for the last decade plus. Best of luck, my friend, and please keep in touch. Dave

  ulick on October 3, 2023 1:22 PM

• Regrettably, my cognitive impairment will not allow me to continue participation in ottoneu. It has been a lot of fun.

  Guts on October 3, 2023 12:20 PM

• You made it very interesting my man. You were in first place there for a couple of days. Gulp! Go Jays!!!

  Northern Rage on October 3, 2023 8:14 AM

• Also, I’m still looking for someone to take over as commish if anyone is willing. Than again!

  ulick on October 2, 2023 11:38 AM

• Congrats to Rage, our 2023 champs! I tried to make it interesting at the end, but he still cruised to victory. If you haven't already sent in your fees please get them to me ASAP, so I can pay the man his due. I've received cash from Mike, Peter, Pat, Chris, Gordon, & Richard so far. Thanks!

  ulick on October 2, 2023 11:37 AM

• Also, please let me know if anyone is willing to take over as commish after the season is done. It’s fairly straightforward—just set the draft date, send out reminders, and collect fees. I would much appreciate it. Thanks again!

  ulick on September 8, 2023 12:11 PM

• Hey all, only a month left in the season so if you haven't already sent in your fees please get them to me ASAP. I've received cash from Mike, Peter, Pat, Chris, Gordon, & Richard so far. Thanks!

  ulick on September 8, 2023 12:08 PM

• Good riddance Urias.

  Guts on September 4, 2023 9:24 PM

• Put a few more guys on the block if anyone is interested in a deadline deal.

  Oh My Gato on August 30, 2023 3:58 PM

• Hey all, we just got past the All Star Break, so if you haven't already sent in your fees please get them to me ASAP. I've received cash from Mike, Peter, & Pat so far. Thanks!

  ulick on July 19, 2023 10:49 AM

• Coors Guts, anytime, my friend...

  Twink on May 2, 2023 2:26 PM

• Guts thanks the Twink.

  Guts on April 27, 2023 1:25 PM

• Never imagined how much fun last place could be! Just stock my team with Giants so I have some players to root for every day on TV. Thanks to all! Still hanging in there. I won't bore you with details, but keep you all advised I have a seemingly endless schedule of tests and procedures in front of me. No pity warranted for this old fart! Prayers welcome.

  Guts on April 24, 2023 5:16 PM

• Rafael Devers BOS 3B L: Gents, a below-market Devers is available for a King's ransom. I am looking for a starting closer, a tier-one hitting prospect and a bat I can plug into my starting lineup. I cannot take on much salary.

  Northern Rage on April 18, 2023 9:50 AM

• I think I've set a dubious record for lowest point total to end a week in ottoneu! Comeback starts Monday!

  Guts on April 16, 2023 5:44 PM

• Thanks!!!

  Guts on April 12, 2023 8:58 PM

• Best of luck, Pat! Stay optimistic—screw realistic ;) Be well, my friend, and we’ll worry about finding a replacement when need be.

  ulick on April 10, 2023 1:47 AM

• Please let Commish of anyone who is interested of inheriting my team. Know more tomorrow. Still optimistic, but reality is still there.

  Guts on April 10, 2023 1:27 AM

• Peterson, Johnson, and Villar combine for four HRs this morning! Alas, none of them are starting. Looks like I'll be in last place for awhile.

  Guts on April 3, 2023 6:15 PM

• Don't think I've ever started the Ottoneu season with full, 40 man roster. Seems weird to me. Last thing I need is to be worried about my lineup every weekend. Can't wait for next week, when games count and I have something to look forward every morning. Still looking for a replacement, just in case. Anybody have anybody in mind?

  Guts on March 24, 2023 9:19 PM

• Tanner Scott MIA RP L + Dylan Floro MIA RP R are availble in a package deal for salary relief.

  Northern Rage on March 13, 2023 12:54 PM

• Taylor Rogers SFG RP L + Matt Brash SEA SP/RP R are available in a package deal for salary relief.

  Northern Rage on March 13, 2023 12:43 PM

• So Tan Dynasty and I went to the A’s/Rangers game yesterday. Bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, down 3, Kevin Smith up. I told him if he walks it off I’d pick him up now. Lo and behold…

  Oh My Gato on March 11, 2023 11:39 AM

• Whoa! It'll take me awhile to figure out who is on my team! LOL

  Guts on March 8, 2023 4:22 PM

• Only a little over 25 hours until the auction…Look forward to seeing you all online tomorrow!

  ulick on March 6, 2023 8:24 PM

• Hi ALL: I might be heading to the ER again. Good news is that I think I'm all paid up, including pot fees. I gave a heads up to Twink and Ulick in the event they have any one in mind to take over my team, gratis. Hopefully, I'm just having one bad day, which is not entirely uncommon, hypochondriac that I can be. My wife has checked in with my son's in law, but they aren't into baseball much anymore. If you know of anyone that doesn't need much vetting, let me know.

  Guts on February 25, 2023 7:55 PM

• The cognitive loss is at least as apparent as the physical (Gait, musculature loss, etc). I know I won't win, but I'm gonna try for the sake of quality of life.

  Guts on February 17, 2023 11:11 PM

• A word of caution to my friends of FBL. I began noticing atrophy in my muscles a couple years ago. Doctors thought I was faking it to get on early SS Disability. Cervical fusion followed. Parkinson's ruled out AFTER a brain scan. Doctor still refused to confirm a diagnosis. I turned 65 on 2/13 , but not before Chronic Stroke Syndrome had obliterated the temporal lobes and recently progressed to frontal lobe. I am reminded daily from the news of Biden, Fetterman, and most recently, Bruce Willis.
