League Message Board

Yes indeed! Thanks for getting arb done, everybody. Makes the league much fairer and more fun.
-
Thank you, everyone! Looks like we've successfully completed arbitration / allocation for all league managers. While each of us considers the rest villains for what we were allotted, overall it is for the good. Cheers! Now to nearly forget to adjust my roster before the Keeper Deadline....
-
Vestal, Art3mis, and Geniuses! Please get your arbitration allocations in. Deadline: Nov 14. Thank you!
-
Weekly reminder to get your arbitration done, friends! We've got 4 teams left to allocate some fun bucks. Peace!
-
8 of 12 arbitrations done! Thank you all for jumping on this swiftly. Deadline is November 14 for the rest. Cheers!
-
Arbitration in process! Looks like at least 5 of us are already done. Sweet! The players are excited to see their paychecks climbing! The owners are demanding public money!
-
I've done my arbitration, HAVE YOU????

Anyone interested in joining a free ESPN fantasy basketball league? Raghav, Sam and I are in it. We currently have 9 teams, can add up to 3 more if folks are interested. Please let me know. We'll be drafting Sunday, 10/13, most likely.

Raghav, you can either venmo to Sam (Ace Deuce), or you can zelle me, or you can keep for next year's sidepot for both Sam and myself. Thank you, commish! Much appreciated, as always, thank you for running the league!
I think we've had 3 different champs the past 3 years, well done, POC 2.0!
Carita, you and I are due a rubber match. Hopefully, my boys won't be so intimidated by your bombs next time.

For the sidepot - Trevor - will venmo you. Natty, will you be needing a check? Also, we had 10 in the pool this year, payouts $150 and $50, respectively.

Indeed! Congratulations, Carita! Thank you everyone for being part of the league. Keep an eye out for arbitration and allocation. I would expect the Keeper Deadline for 2025 will be the usual (January 31). Peace!

Northern, maybe you'll bring some luck to the Twins in Fenway. We'll see if the Maestros have any over the next few days. Cheers to Carita and Cigar!

Good time to mention, anyone want to join a fun basketball league on yahoo?

So my 150 pt cushion on the Bronze Cup is now a deficit! Good luck to ye good souls in the Gold-Silver match on this last burst of games to conclude our season. Maestros? Slightly less good luck to you. :) I'm off to Boston for a long weekend and will take in a Red Sox - Twins game at Fenway (if the weather cooperates). Cheers, friends!
-
luckily for you, you haven't needed the pitching starts! You're up even though I've already started 4 SP.

Shoot I’ve been managing as if we only get 10 the whole matchup, thanks No Cigar

FYI, re rule 1.e.iv, it looks like we'll get 20 pitcher starts total, but only 10 per week

Thank you, Northern! Does anyone recall if the two-week final still only has 10 pitcher starts? Or does each week get 10, so it's 20 total for the entire championship?

Good luck on your hunt for this season's championship, Cigar and Carita!

We call that “the Los Angeles Dodgers”

A few weeks ago, I had a full middle infield with backups. Now they're dropping like flies, so I was glad to see him come available!
-
I like that pickup of Wilson, Maestros, I hated to cut him

Egads, Cigar! I might lose this week's H2H playoff just on Kyle Schwarber alone! I don't know what you told him in the dugout yesterday, but he's on a heck of a tear. (4 HRs in his last 6 or 7 at bats!?) Painful! :)
-
Thanks everyone for a really fun season! Happy Labor Day!
-
Ha! Nice Hamm's reference. The old Hamm's building is just three blocks from me. And it is still a very common beer here. I like to drink it at the Pillbox Tavern ... which is named for the old Saint Paul Saint's downtown baseball ballpark (nicknamed The Pillbox), 1902 - 1908. That stadium was so small that the left and right field walls had zones that were a single if you hit it out.
-
Thanks to everybody else for making it a great season. Very good vibes this year!
Now we commence with the playoffs, and I will be unabashedly rooting for Northern Lights, as he is my kin. PREPARE TO FEEL THE WRATH OF THE SKY-BLUE WATERS, YA JAGOFFS.
-
Agreed. Fun season. Huge congratulations to Maestros on building that team into a playoff squad (in just your first year managing)!
-
Thank you to everyone for another great regular season! Better luck next year to the non-playoff teams, and good luck to the playoff teams! Happy Labor Day!

always love when the cousins can get a game in! for 6 playoff teams, would we be able to do top 2 byes, one week semis, one week final four, two weeks final?

I’m not in favor do that but happy to put it up to a vote!
-
We need to change playoff format for next year. Only top 4 make it. Should change to top 6.

Fun fact: three managers from Proof of Concept took in a Twins game yesterday! (Jhoan and Northern Lights are my cousins.)
We did sadly watch the Jhoans' namesake, you might say, engage in canine copulation and blow the save. There were so many flames in his entrance video! We expected better.
-
The Jhoans are really not meeting the moment as the season winds down. The last two Sundays my often productive lineup has gone a combined 9 for 85, killing any chance of winning those matchups. To borrow a managerial insult from Bull Durham: How'd we ever hit 9? (and here Robert Wuhl chimes in with, "It's a miracle.")
-
I'm looking to upgrade, can take on money, holler if you're looking to make some moves pre-deadline

One last non-baseball note: In the Ottoneu football league that I'm in with Loons and Vestal, we have one more team that just opened. If you are interested in trying Ottoneu for NFL, give a shout. It's a team with some excellent players (but needs to get into salary compliance shortly). As you were!
-
It's AUCTION-PALOOZA in this joint!
-
Once again, Ottoneu does a great job of reflecting what’s actually happening in baseball
-
Wowza! 5 H2H weeks left and spots 3 - 9 are separated by only 2 games (just a single week of contests)!
