Fantasy Baseball

War Eagle!!! · « **on:** February 21, 2008, 03:44:17 PM »

Is anyone here a pro baseball fan? I want to start a league that is not too serious, but has participation. I have only played Fantasy baseball once and I got in a league with people that were WAY too serious and also some that were like 16 years old...it ended up not being the best league.

If there is enough people that are interested, I will start a league, if not; that's cool too.

Hugh, I know you are a baseball fan and I talked to Jarhead over at AUN about joining too. I think it would be fun if we got a couple of people in that liked to have fun, were active, and knew a little about the game but didn't take it so seriously.

Let me know if anyone is interested!

P.S. And the fuckers out there that says baseball sucks and baseball is boring...that's fine...don't fucking respond!!! :thumbsup:

I have never played fantasy baseball, but I did play fantasy football for the first time this past year, and it was pretty fun. I would be interested in joining a league, as long as I'm not the FNG and get screwed over.

I, like ssgaufan, played my first fantasy game in pro football last fall. I enjoyed it.

As a supporter of our great American pasttime and 2008 World Champion Atlanta Braves, I am interested in trying out some fantasy baseball as well. I do know through others who have played fantasy baseball that it is much more involved with the number of games, however. I may not quite be on top of it like I was football, but am willing to give it a shot. Unless there's money involved, of course-then I'll be all over that muthafucka.

This is one of the few genes your father neglected to pass on to you. I can always count on him being in the recliner when the Braves are on.

I enjoy a good baseball game in person, but I can't stand watching it on TV.

Besides, I only posted that in response to this:

I'm in for sure. I prefer a live draft if we could work out a time that everybody is available.

Yahoo does a good free league.

I've never played fantasy baseball before, but count me in. Do I need some new cleats, or a new bat?

Nah, new batting gloves is all. The league will supply the cleats and bat!

Alright Bitches...it's set up.

The League ID is 144260
League Name Tigersx

I set it up as head to head as of right now. I think that will keep everyones attention. It is also set up for a live draft but you can rank your players if you can't make the draft. Also, I can change any of the settings so if you want something changed or think it will be better a different way, let me know.

Also, Winch, I know you are a baseball fan of the suck asstros so if you feel froggy...jump!

I can't wait to start kicking yalls bitches ass!!!!

Yeah, I'm a fan, but I have NO CLUE how to do this. Are there instructions on the site? Is it self-explanatory? Could one of you put aside the smart ass sarcasm for a brief moment and clue me in on how to draft and how it all works?

If so, count me and my Disastros in. Glad to see you are including Jarhead as well. He can be our token Cards fan.

It is really easy. You have a team roster, and you start the players each day you want to start. You have to start 1 1B, 2B, SS, 3B Outfielders and so forth. YOu can also start 2 starting pitchers and 2 relievers on any given day. You get points based on how your players do and you go head to head for a week against someone else from the league.

The draft is pretty self explanatory. You can draft who ever you want, whenever you want, as long as he is not on another team. You can take all pitchers first or hitters or whatever, but you need have a starter in each of the starting positions to maximize points.

You can see the league settings as to which stats count for points...it's pretty easy really!

I hope you can play...it should be fun if we have some people sign up!

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
