A2K Fanstasy Baseball 2007

I'M #194450!
I am enrolled in the CBS NCAA Bball Challenge. Through Thursday's games I am 12-4 and am, as noted, ranked 194450. I am, as of now, not mortally wounded by my four miscues. How are yall doing?

College basketball is something I don't have the faintest idea about.
If there's a sport I have the faintest idea about, I play fantasy.

If you wanna know, I am currently -with another nick- 3 of 12 in Hockey, 10 of 12 in NBA basketball, 65% in the Spanish soccer league, 75% in Nascar racing, 78% in PGA golf and 85% in the Mexican soccer league.

2 weeks and counting until opening day!

Oh... and my b rackets are pretty much all shot already.

2 weeks indeed, I guess. Something like April 2nd?

In the CBS NCAA thing, I jumped all the up to 177,000 in the standings!
I don't know and many that is out of. I have 11 of the sweet 16 teams and don't have any broken brackets. But I am working on it. The best I can do is 6 of the 8 teams playing to get into the final 4.

The best Ican do is 6 out of 8 as well. My final 4 is still intact which is good. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if tha tall changed within the next day or two.

Ha! I have three out of the four teams still alive in the NCAA b'ball tourney. Ohio State, Florida and, yes, Georgetown. I thought Kansas could do better but I was confident that UNC was not really all that good.

My ranking this afternoon in the CBS Fantasy game rose from 175,000 to 110,000. A lot of "money" on UNC.

I just read an article that seems to be made for our league, and specially for our brave commissioner, jp.

A quote:


"So some of you are in leagues that reward hits, singles, and batting average? Separately? Hmm... Strikeouts for hitters and walks for pitchers are reasonable anti-streaming measures. But you're also using innings pitched? Maybe it makes sense as a deterrent to owners who might otherwise just load up on relief pitchers... I'm just not comfortable with league settings that make Miguel Batista (206.1 IP, 8 L, 3 CG in 2006) quite so valuable. Still, I'm familiar with 10x10 and 12x12 leagues with the above categories. They make detainees in secret prisons play them, I hear."

Are you unhappy with the settings, FB?

I think the author over-estimates the value of Batista there. So he pitched 3 CG. That is 3 weeks where he got a point in that category. 3 out of... what 26... 27 week long season?

The author of the article fb cites describes himself as a Fantasy Baseball geek. He belongs to several or more leagues. Most of us here know squat about baseball. I say, stay the course.

Not at all, jp.
The sheer quantity of categories makes it so difficult to follow throughly (unless you're a sabermetric geek) and more random. Thus: more fun.
I think the author discovered the huge inner geek in you, though.

(BTW, I think he's right about Batista, 3CG is a lot. But who cares, really!).

Stay the course.

Opening Day! Wahoo!! Good luck to everyone and especially to Tico who will be the Rappin Rednecks' first victim next week.

In the NCAA B-ball thing, I leapt all the way up to 41,747 in the CBS Fantasy rankings. Up from 110,000 last weekend. I had Ohio State, Florida and Georgetown from the get-go and UCLA from the beginning but projected to lose to Kansas. I have Florida over Ohio State tomorrow night. realjohnboy

Yes, good luck to all (especially realjohnboy, :wink:) this week.

Hey, fbaezer ... I've proposed a trade with you.

(Side note: Happily, I'm posting on A2K while the hamsters are having a bit of fun ... but Adrienne Barbeau? <harumph>)

What's the problem, Mott?

Just want yall to know
Right off the git-go
That the 'Necks are just itching
(With good hitting and pitching)
To take yall - one at a time.

We may not be bright,
But keep this in sight:
We're gonna keep you twitching
And, yes, moaning and bitching.
We're gonna turn you to slime.

Mott?

Mott is much better than Adrienne.

Baseball season is here!

Good luck to all this season and I aplologize in advance for the rolled news paper I am about to take to the Puppies... Bad dog! Bad Dog!

Ummm...
Should I have been doing anything to get ready?

I've spent a very frustrating day trying to find out the rules for this thing.
Everything on Yahoo is vague and I can't understand how the scoring
works. Right now I see that the Nattering Nabobs are trailing the River
City Rockheads 4-0, but I haven't a clue why. If I haven't figured it out
by this time tomorrow, I'm dropping out. Sorry, guys, but this is
ridiculous.
