TPWW Yahoo Fantasy Baseball 2004

[KingofOldSchool]

Well registration should open up with a week or so I figured I'd get a thread going.

So should we have one large league and one small league or just have one large league?

I wouldn't mind being commish of one of the leagues.

Sign up here and give suggestions for the league(s).

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Whatever gets decided I'm in

[Loose Cannon]

I'M definately in. It doesn't matter to me what you guys do.

[mitch_h]

Oh I am soo in...don't care what goes down though...

[KingofOldSchool]

I think there should be three leagues...

1. For the more experienced Fantasy Baseballer's (Competitive).

2. For the inexperienced and/or the ones who just suck at Fantasy Baseball.

3. And then there would be the larger casual league.

Thoughts?

[DaveWadding]

I like that...as long as I commish the Competitive league again ;)

[mitch_h]

...That's our David!

[DaveWadding]

No, seriously..if it werent for the shit that Rick, Chris and I pulled at the end of the season, nothing bad would have happened.

[weather vane]

<font color=white>I want in the competitive one for sure. Sounds mint.</font>

[loopydate]

Sign me up for the inexperienced league.

[BCWWF]

Dude, you should have made this earlier, all the leagues are gonna be full!

[DaveWadding]

what the fu</>ck are you talking about?

[KingofOldSchool]

Ummmm re-read what I wrote, the registration hasn't even started yet on Yahoo.

[DaveWadding]

:wave: Hi, I should be the Commish, cause I'm fairer than Bud Selig :wave:

[Guest #1]

3 makes sense to me, should be alot of people gettin' in. Just as long as I'm in atleast 1.

[Yashamaga]

i'm in

[The Outlaw]

Yeah, I'm in.

[Gertner]

i as well.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea I don't know a lot about baseball though

[Crimson]

Yea I don't know a lot about baseball though

Maybe that'll be a good thing for you. You know a lot about football and basketball and your teams end up being the bottomfeeders of the leagues.

I'm down to sign up on all 3 leagues by the way :shifty: .jk

[RoXer]

Put me in. Last year, i was to late to sign up :(

[DaveWadding]

Should we keep the competitive league by invitation only?

[KingofOldSchool]

I think the competitve should be an 8-10 team league. I would like to see these people in it based on what I saw last year...

Dave
Me
Yash
E_N
Hero

Those are all I can think of right now, if other people have suggestions on who should be invitied in the competitive one just say so here.

[YOUR Hero]

In 'the competitive' league, the people that have been in it every year should get first dibs. Guys like RBM, Adder, E_N, etc that don't post alot on TPWW shouldn't be left behind. As for the # of leagues, I guess it's all dependant on how much demand there is.

[Excellance of Execution]

I'm interested in being in the competitive league. I was in a couple of leagues last year, and sometimes it sucks because some people give up when they get behind. Whether i'm winning or losing, i stay competitive all year long. Would you do a live draft or autopick? Let me know if i qualify to be in your competitive league. Go YANKEE'S!!!!!!!!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

No you don't.

[Excellance of Execution]

No you don't.
Why do you say that? Because i don't have the post counts you guys do? That shouldn't matter, i've been in competitive leagues the last couple of years in baseball, basketball and football and have done well in all of them. Are you looking to have a league that's competitive or one that's full of your buddies? Either way it doesn't matter, if you need another person to put in your league than i'll do it, if not, no sweat off my back, their are plenty of other leagues.

[CNM]

I'm in as always

Well this post makes me favour you.. If you're not pulling my leg. I'd say this guy should be strongly considered if there's an opening.

The other leagues we have are competitive too anyway; just the "main" one is the original one that we should reserve for those that have always participated in them firstly.

[YOUR Hero]

I'm in as always
Who are you?

;)

[DaveWadding]

Heres the competitve league, so far:

Me
CNM
Rick
Hero
E_N
Adder
Mitch
Supreme
RBM

That's the ones that I'm sure are returning... Joe, Anton and Russ would have to get at us...

Scot is 1st in line for the next empty spot...

[YOUR Hero]

Terra always enters as well.

[DaveWadding]

he's never around though...ever...I seriously havent seen him online/posting in MONTHS.

[Loose Cannon]

Well if you guys need anybody for the Comp League, I'll be in it. I'm a baseball nut and I've been playing FB for a while, just never here. But I understand that the people who have played here before should get first dibs. And Yes Excellence of Execution:

GO YANKEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[mitch_h]

Perhaps we should up the maximum amount of teams for the comp league. I personally prefer more teams myself. :-\

[DaveWadding]

12.

Anything more waters down the talent pool and makes it crappy, IMO.

[CNM]

Who are you?

;)

The guy who should've beaten you for the league title the last 2 years... :'(

[DaveWadding]

The guy who should've beaten you for the league title the last 2 years... :'(


i.e. his bitch.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Maybe that'll be a good thing for you. You know a lot about football and basketball and your teams end up being the bottomfeeders of the leagues.haha no shit huh

Basketball leauge I dont like the scoring system though, and I havnet looked at it in a long time + I always suck at Fantasy Hoops. Football I just sucked this year seeing how I missed the draft. Finished like middle of the league year before so I'm not like really good at that either I guess lol

[CNM]

i.e. his bitch.

Remlinger made you his bitch :yes:

[DaveWadding]

screw off. :'(

[BlackRavyyn]

Waiting for me to say "yes" or "no" Dave? :D

[DaveWadding]

Nah...I just didn't know if you'd keep up with us, old mang :p

[Splaya]

I want in for sure

[BlackRavyyn]

Nah...I just didn't know if you'd keep up with us, old mang :p

I may not be able to show you a thing or two when it comes to hockey, or baseball - but I'll be in the competitive league.

I'll check with E_N, unless Scot is already, but I think he said he was through with it so...I may take one of those spots please :D

[DaveWadding]

You were guaranteed one silly, you played last year :p

[BlackRavyyn]

You were guaranteed one silly, you played last year :p

Whoo...:cool:

Time to job to everyone...:shifty:

[DaveWadding]

I figure E_N and Adder might be done...they were all uptight about jokes...

[Excellance of Execution]

Well this post makes me favour you.. If you're not pulling my leg. I'd say this guy should be strongly considered if there's an opening.

Well, if i'm not in the 'main' one, i understand. I just want to be in a league where i know everyone will try to win and not lose interest if their not doing well. I've posted on this site for the last two years. Previously as Spongy 3:16. Although i didn't have a very high post count, i've always came to this site to see what everyone thinks and i posted my thoughts when i thought i had something worthwhile to say. Anyways, i'm in if you'd like me to be.

[YOUR Hero]

12 isn't enough teams. Because at 12 there's so much free agent talent. 14 or 16 I'd say.

[weather vane]

<font color=white>Let me in the competitive one. I may cry.</font>

what?

[KingofOldSchool]

That happens in every TPWW league...

RBM

That's the ones that I'm sure are returning... Joe, Anton and Russ would have to get at us...

*ahem*

Me.

[Yashamaga]

and me.

I finished like 30 games ahead of everyone last year

[DaveWadding]

Scot...I was just listing those who are ABSOLUTELY guaranteed.

It might end up that theres no empty spots (slim chance) and it's not fair to anyone that was in the league last year to throw them out for no reason.

Hero, I meant that E_N and Adder might "boycott" the competitive league, especially if I'm commish again because of the whole joke thing at the end of last season.

[mitch_h]

12 isn't enough teams. Because at 12 there's so much free agent talent. 14 or 16 I'd say.

Yea I was thinking 14 or 16 teams, it's just more enjoyable that way, you get to take a chance with sleepers in prospects.

[YOUR Hero]

I guess I don't know or remember what joke you're talking about. Anyhow Dave, we'll let them speak for themselves.

[DaveWadding]

the Webb/Vlad ordeal.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think before anything is decided about leagues, first we have to see who wants to participate

then one of our mathematicians can decide how the leagues go

[Crimson]

I was in it last year. I dont care in which one Im in, although I prefer one with like 16-20 teams. We'll see.

[Guest #1]

I believe that football, hockey and basketball has shown me to be competitive.I'd like to join if there is space, but I'd be happy with the larger group too. Tpww games tend to be competitive no matter the level (IMO) anyways kicks over the public Y! games

[RoXer]

Put me in the competitive league. I was in 3 last year and I finished in the top 3. So, I kinda know what I'm doing :-\

[DaveWadding]

Maybe we oughta split it to 4 leagues Competitive (the original), Rookie Competitive (same deal, but with the overflow of other new people), Inexperienced, and the CF league (18-20 teams)

[The Outlaw]

the Webb/Vlad ordeal.

:mad:

[DaveWadding]

:$

[TheJShow]

Count me in

[Splaya]

I'd really like to be in this. I follow baseball daily and would definitely make some good transactions and definitely be a contender to win. If not the competitive league I will be commish and take the 2nd league, deal?

[KingofOldSchool]

I was in two of the leagues last year, finished second in one and first in the other. So I should be guaranteed a spot as well. :p

[DaveWadding]

No, you shouldn't. Nothing against you Scot, but I'm against raising the number of teams, and its not fair to throw someone out...but I don't think we'll have Anton back (not guaranteed) soo...

[KingofOldSchool]

But what makes most of them get ahead of me?

[DaveWadding]

They were all in the Competitive league last year.

[KingofOldSchool]

So was I.

[DaveWadding]

No.

[Splaya]

[The Outlaw]

I thought Scot was in the competitive league as well? :o

[DaveWadding]

he wasn't :-\

He was in the one with 18 and the other one with Cheeba and Yash..but not the other...

[KingofOldSchool]

he wasn't :-\

He was in the one with 18 and the other one with Cheeba and Yash..but not the other...

Well **** me I thought that one was the competitive one? :(

I should still be in it though since I did finish first and second in both of those leagues. :rant:

[DaveWadding]

Well **** me I thought that one was the competitive one? :(




Way to up my post count ;) :y:

[Adder]

Yes I want back in. I do however want to be reassured that whoever is commish, we don't have juvenille actions taking place anymore.

[DaveWadding]

I am just going to keep my damn mouth shut about that...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yes I want back in. I do however want to be reassured that whoever is commish, we don't have juvenille actions taking place anymore.

worrrrrrrrd

[The Outlaw]

LOL Juvenille?

A bit of an...overstatement.

[weather vane]

<font color=white><b>It's just a Fantasy Sports league ... :rofl: </b></font>

[YOUR Hero]

LOL Juvenille?

A bit of an...overstatement.

actually no it's not. However, lets not get sidetracked on that. This is a new year and stuff.

[The Outlaw]

So it was juvenille? LOL, thats kind of funny and sad at the same time.

But yeah, new year, new...game? :o

[DaveWadding]

They opened the leagues...the fight for draft times was like mothers fighting for Tickle Me Elmos a few Christmases ago...

If you've been in the league before expect a PM from me or an MSNing.. :love:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

[Supreme Olajuwon]

this one is for everyone

[Supreme Olajuwon]

also anyone who wants to make suggestions about stats and positions feel free

I'm partial to having a few fielding catagories but whatever you all want is fine

[Guest #1]

[Guest #1]

Funny, you can only kick an ass if your behind the others. My Ass is waiting!

[Loose Cannon]

LOL^^^

[Lotus]

Yes, I have joined as the Quiet Storm. Oh, and though I might not come on here everyday, I will check my team everyday.

[Excellance of Execution]

I'm in the big league as, The Curse of the Bambino. Good luck to all, NOT. :lol:

[Guest #1]

Just a suggestion:

Since most people want in on the competitive league, but there seems to be an iron lock with those in last year, why not have it that next year the bottom 4 teams lose their spot and the top 4 of the big league take their place? It might cut down on end of the season bs as well (like uneven trades). If people in the top 4 of the big league already have teams in the competitive one, then more stay in the comp, as a tie would go to the comp. league. How bout it?

[KingofOldSchool]

Let Me In Competitive. :mad:

[YOUR Hero]

Too many catergories Dave. I suggest dropping k/bb and bb's from the pitchers. From the batters I suggest dropping bb's and ops.

My 2 cents

[DaveWadding]

I'm keeping OPS. Walks we have to talk about though.

[YOUR Hero]

Supreme's has some interesting ones, I like the total bases thing. But still too many catergories.

[YOUR Hero]

OPS favours powerhitters. Power hitter already have RBI's and HR, I just feel we lean too far towards the power hitters in these things.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

well I have too many hitting catagories as it is so Im gonna drop some


you know what would be interesting is if I took HRs out as a hitting catagory

[YOUR Hero]

Hmmm, isn't that a revolutionary idea. I must say it sure would be different.

[BlackRavyyn]

Well I signed up for Dave's league (only 9 teams so far, the hell), Supreme's league which looks huge and also for the other league so that's three. I joined a public league too so I will have my hands full for the baseball season.

Maybe I can hire one of the people that doesn't make a team as a co-manager so I can keep these all going...:lol:

hey wadding

pm me

[DaveWadding]

Hey Yash

No.

[Yashamaga]

lol

I'm pretty sure I'm qualified. Unless not worshipping a gay band like evanescence keeps me off.

hey Supreme, I think It'd be a good idea to have it like it was last year and have 18 teams instead of 20

[DaveWadding]

Ah...no, you're not.

[Loose Cannon]

Alright guys, I'm in the League as the "New Ro Perfectos." Rep for anyone who can tell me what team today was know as the Perfectos way back when.

[Loose Cannon]

[Loose Cannon]

St Louis Cardinals duhhhhh

[Loose Cannon]

St Louis Cardinals duhhhhh

Correct, now for another trivia question. Which team had all it's stars transferred to the Perfectos, during the Perfecto's first full season, and inevitably became the worst team in the history of professional baseball?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

the SPYDAS

everything involved with Cleveland sucks inevitably
