QUOTE(silver and black @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) what about me? i was asking to be in a league a while back... hell, i will start and commish a new fantasy baseball league... Did you read the thread? People who were in leagues last year get first dibs at staying in their leagues. Then everyone else gets divided up into remaining spots and new leagues.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) As dbaho said, i would like to be in league one if all possible. You are on my list qwert. I have to see which replies I get back of people from last year, but I am guessing there will be at least a couple of spots open. I owed Knight a spot from last year, so he was first in...

No hate for Gload, but I think his numbers are skewed upwards by his part time status, and the fact that Oz picked the spots to use him, where he knew he would be more effective. He never used him against a tough lefty, it was always against RHP. If he played everyday against all pitching like Jurrassic his numbers would come back to earth quickly. I don't think he would be bad, but he wouldn't be hitting .320, that's for sure.

QUOTE(YoungstownIndians @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) BUMB. This is a fun topic! You know whatelse is a fun topic? Suspensions.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) To that I will add that one constant for most of those 4 yrs was Mient, Koskie, & Guzman & they are all gone. I just think it's a little presumptuous to think that such a loss will go without any significant drop in offense or MIF defense. They also didn't have a Cy Young capable Santana those years either. He has matured and that will make a big difference. And the Sox have endured significant losses of their own superstars. Plus we all know how the Twins farm system produces. Thinking we are better than the Twins right now is delusional, and no manipulation of numbers is going to change that.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) BTW, for leauge 1, my dad last season was ColdSteel, he is out this season, so I would say we have about 4,5 openings it look likes for leauge 1, correct? Damn I am glad you said that Tony. I was racking my brain trying to figure out WTF ColdSteel was I am glad he doesn't want back in, as I figured it msut have been a banned poster, or someone who changed their name because I couldn't find anything about him. I already talked to Knightni, and he is taking that spot. As of right now, we have 7 committments to league 1. I have PMs out to the other 5 people who were in the league, and will let everyone else know as we get closer to Yahoo sign ups. In so far Me Bones Tony82087 MrZero (whatever his name is now ) DBAHO Sox1422 Witesoxfan And new for 2005 Knightni

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:30 AM) So then our analysis for '04 to '05 should be that we finish 9 games back of the Twins? I refuse to accept that & it would surprise. I'm not saying will win more than the Twins but we should definitely be closer to them in wins this year. This belief that Mauer, Morteau, Cuddyear are all locks for being top 5 in their position is poppy cock fantasy spewed out by the likes of Gammons & friends. Crunch all of the numbers you want, but it comes down to this. The Twins constantly outproduced wins vs their "numbers". Every single stinking year the Twins wins way over what the pythag theory saids they should win, and the Sox always seem to find a way to underproduce it. When it happens once its a fluke. When it happens 4 years in a row it is a trend.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) I haven't even seen one down here. Its probably state law that you can only use Texas quarters down there

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) way ahead of you hey you stay out of my quarter jars

I'll have to raid my quarter jars tonight.

Don't look now, but make it twice in two days now... http://www.nbc5.com/news/4182576/detail.ht...994&dppid=65192

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) how we going to do this...you wanna see how many people return to the leagues...and the people that don't return you are going to replace? If so I would take a place of someone in a head to head league...or be in a new head to head league that is live or autodraft....doesn't matter. Pretty much you hit it on the head. We are all going to talk to the people that were in our leagues last year and see if they want to again. First priority is to keep old leagues together. All leagues will have holes, and we will fill those with active posters. Then with the people left over, and I have a feeling that there will be a lot of them, we will form the new leagues. Last year it worked pretty well to keep the active posters in leagues, and let the newbies have a league of their own. That way if the newbs don't stick with it, it doesn't ruin it for the people who have put in some time and effort on this site. Those are the people who I am going to look after first. Don't worry though. You have been around and posted for a while now, we will get you in a good league.

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Oh, I was just going by right now...we won't know about that stuff till the middle of the season comes, but going into the season we need some MILF help. bad me->

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) I agree it is BS. That's pretty much what Brian's company claimed - the union contract with the press operators put them under which was total BS - more like ineptitude in the accounting office and management. Blame the accountants!!!! Right Kap?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) dat was me You want to do it again?

I don't think any of that is new... Is it?

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) i thought we had to keep him on the 25 man roster or not offer him back to the angels.. or is he officially with the sox? He has to stay on the 40 man roster. We don't have to offer him back to Anaheim if we take him off of the 40 man, he would have to clear waivers at that point.

Anyone remember who league two's commish was???

I just recently started on the Paul McCartney boards, but other than that, this is my message board home (as if that wasn't obvious). Most of my other on-line activities involved reading other news sites and blogs. Some of my favs include a couple of really good blogs of guys on here, drudge, poorandstupid, google news, cnn, msnbc, and espn.

QUOTE(Purdue129 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) I think that was 2k5's original point Bingo!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) So, would Chicago have the world's tallest buiding again? More importantly, when do we get the casinos?? Just for perspectives sake, the Sears Tower measures in at 1450 feet tall...

This comes under the guise of proofread your articles http://www.nbc5.com/news/4184303/detail.ht...994&dppid=65192 By my calculations that should make the building 12,815 feet tall. Petronas Towers take that!!!

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) Um, you forgot me Ss. Damn I did... Hang on, I have a PM for you...
