QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Your times, I'm fairly used to the time change now, usually 7 p.m over there is about 10 a.m over there I think on the East Coast. Working with our 3 Aussie customers, I know the difference now too

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) Nah I thought I'd leave one just for you. If I ever get my ass to Chicago someday, I'm going to have to shout you one, after all the Fosters jokes we've cracked. Fosters I can handle... just as long as it isn't vegimite :puke If you ever get up here the ticket is on me. BTW did you ever decide on going to school up here for a semester?

So far I am looking at about half a dozen, plus a couple of road games. Looks like we are going to get out to Baltimore this year in July.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) Draft times which are the best for me (after March 1), are Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights. And just gimme Santana and Schmidt again (Jamie Moyer is available Wite), and I'll be kept happy. Are those our times or your times D?

Great post Rex!!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) I could say a lot of things to Kap quite frankly. I'll just chuck a shrimp on the barby to celebrate instead. And crack open a tall cool Fosters Spot on mate!

League 1 Southsider2k5 Tony82087 Knightni MrZero Sox1422 DBAH0 TheBones Chisox_Sonix Witesoxfan Whitesoxin' Mathew BigRed3535 These are the members of league one, as the people in it know. First order of business is to start thinking about a good day and time of the week to have a draft. This is obviously going to be a head to head live draft league. These are the categories we used last year. R HR RBI SB E AVG OPS W L SV BB K ERA WHIP How do those sound?

An official announcement here... League one is full. Amazingly 11 of the 12 people who played last year have returned. I have never seen anything like it in my long time playing fantasy ball... which dates back to the free days at Sandbox.com. Cheat and 56789 are busy checking who from last year is repeating leagues 2 and 3. Soon they will be contacting people to fill in spots of posters who have no interest in playing again. Also Knightni is busy filling league 4 as we speak. That league right now is almost all players who are playing in the Sim league. As soon as he gets confirmations he will be adding his group of players. To those who have expressed interest, but haven't been assigned a league yet, it will be done soon. As soon as all of the old leagues committments have been confirmed or denied, we will know how many people are needed for the old leagues, and then we will know how many people will go into the new leagues. And to anyone else who wants to play but has not said so yet, there is still plenty of time to let us know! Post you interest here ASAP!!!

Roger Clemens is a roid user because he had a big improvement late in his career? Is Canseco f***ing stupid? Hello 24-4 dumbass. f*** Canseco. Aw they won't let you play baseball anymore so you are going to go tell on everyone... boo-hoo. Go back to prision with the rest of the conartists. :fyou

I am going to say this now. 2004 Royals=2005 Tigers. Over-Rated Flops!

I love the subtitle Kudos the the fixer of this thread.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) It might all be bulls***, but I gave out a HUGE "PHEW" when I saw that it was all bulls***, and I got a little smile on my face knowing the little critter is O.K.!!! Same here. Glad to here the kid is OK.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) So does that mean that Paul Bremer should also be held accountable too since 9 billion dollars in Iraqi Oil Revenue went missing under his watch? That amount by the way is greater than the fraud committed in Oil for Food. Was it? I have read that Hussien himself made at least $10 billion from the 50 cents a a barrel kickbacks he was recieving. And as for Bremer, has any money been connected to him? To his son? To a genocidal dictator? As bribes to foreign governments? Sure he should be fired if they can't account for the $9 billion. That alone is indefensible. But this isn't even in the same league as bribing a world body.

I'm not going to paste this because I want to warn people that this is pretty powerful stuff before they choose to read it. http://kjo84.typepad.com/cta_tattler/2005/02/

And that last paragraph in a nutshell is why Tadahito Iguchi is playing here in Chicago and not in Japan for the next couple of years.

These are the rest of the players that express keeper interest... Zoomslownik HoosierSox Ishmookie Thompsonmi

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) I know I just do not think that number of posts is a direct correleation to fantasy baseball activity. Post totals count other forums besides the main sports forums, so a person could be racking up huge totals in Sex, Lies, Politics, but rarely read and post in the sport forums. The only thing you can do is give people a chance and hope for the best, because last year when I got into league 2 I bet I only had 250 or so posts in 2 years. SB hey SB, you have a PM from me

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Well, seeing as a sequel is kind of out of the question, I guess a Special Edition is the way to go. Oh but the sequel is coming...

2004 could be the worse year for earthquake related deaths since 1556 when an earthquake in China killed over 800,000 people. The other interesting thing is that the Indian Ocean quake was remeasured at an incredible 9.3 on the richter scale. http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/...uakes_2004.html

Yeah there are couple of guys in my league who have been in with me for 3 years now. Even though they aren't on here a lot, I already know they are good fantasy players. Looking at the sign ups there are a couple of those I know of, right off the top of my head.

The husbands story sounds just a little too convient for me. Who passes around child porn as if it is "normal" porno?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Damn you're fast!!! Seriously though, I'm not going to fault the entire U.N. for the actions of a few assholes who prey on the weak. The real scandal is Oil for Food, which hurt far more people and may well reach to the top of the U.N. bureaucracy. Scratch out "may" with "does" and you have hit the nail on the head. Its a completely different ballgame when the peacekeepers on the ground do something stupid (granted this is waaaaaaaaaaay past that) and when the leaders of the world's organization that is supposed to be looking out for the world are taking bribes. That whole region of the world is so messed up right now. And no one really cares, which is the saddest part of all. There is genocide going on right now in the Sudan, and UN is too busy arguing whether 80,000 people dead fits the definition of "genocide"

Steff you have got to find a happier news site to read....

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) They shoulda gotten rid of Minnesota and Montreal a few years back. There is no Montreal anymore, even though they are now Washington, but I hate the Twins and still am mad they weren't contracted. Les Spos would have been #1 on my list, but now that they are in Washington, I would give them 5 years or so to see if the fan base is there or not. If they don't take they would be in my top 4 in place of the Marlins. Maybe that new stadium deal will pull them through.
