Come one, come all. Time for hot dogs, apple pie and the frustration of looking up to a Canadian. Though a threepeat is unlikely, I'm in to try.

I'm in. Hoping for less injuries this year as well as the desire to compete beyond the All-Star break for once...

I didn't really set the draft with any amount of heart, so the date is somewhat flexible. I'll be away the Saturday - Tuesday prior to the current Wednesday it's set for though. (so March 26-29)
-
I'm not sure if I have the will for this. I'm on the fence right now.
-
Well I'd rather you were in, but that's just me. I'll adjust my draft strategy accordingly.
Though I have to admit by the end of baseball season I'm really burned out and between that and golf, it saps my enthusiasm when hockey and basketball startup again.
-
I'm gone March 25-29 as well

As of now it seems fine... we're taking on a HUGE job at work that delivers on April 7th, so all the days leading up to that might be insane for me... who knows. 50 days out I really can't say much about when I'll be available or not.
-
Yeah, things change.
I selected the 30th at 8 P.M. Central simply because that's usually about when we draft - as close to the season start as possible so lineups are set, early injuries are known, etc. Time is pretty usual, but Explorer was acting up so I couldn't actually select 8:30. Earlier time may benefit those in the East, or be less annoying anyway.
I guess an alternate proposed date would be the 23rd.
I did an autodraft last night and blech.
-
Is this thing on?
-
Is this thing on?
In a month from now? Yeah. Only four signed up so far but we usually have to beg to get full leagues.
-
Go Pirates!
-
We need some more people for baseball folks. Draft is under a month away now and would like to get the league to at least 7-8 teams.
-
Signed up.
-
Does it help if we move the draft up a week? How about the 23rd? That's only a week before the season begins, so might work well enough?
New players are welcome as well, doesn't just have to be the old guard. Big welcome to JediMoses.
-
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller.....
-
I'm okay with keeping the draft where it is or moving it up; doesn't matter to me.
-
Well I moved it up a week in hopes we can motivate some folks to join in. I'd like to see at least two more, preferably three and up to five. New folks are welcome.
The new date didn't conflict with Scott's schedule or mine and hopefully helps Rob out.
-
March 23rd, in theory, is fine for me. If I get stuck at work I'll just try to stay late enough to draft from there.
-
Welcome Mr. Dressel, nice to have you back.
Would like two more folks to join up please.
Note draft date is 23 MARCH
-
Welcome Mr. Dressel, nice to have you back.
Thanks. 1,330 innings. Got it this time.
>:(
-
:-*
-
I hate you. I'm back for what's rightfully mine.
-
Rightfully? Not according to the rules as laid out by yahoo for all their sports. For a dentist your reading comprehension isn't what I expected. ;)

Click on "My team" What does it say on the lower left of the page by maximum games allowed? "Inning limit 1,300". I couldn't even find that "glitch" rule as you called it last September in the rules. I had to google the rule to get to the page. I mean, if you're going to write something like "maximum innings" is 1,300 then you can at least include a damn asterisk after it and refer people to where it explains how the word "maximum" might not mean what the hell it says.
Anyhow, you're lucky i'm gracing you with my presence. I'm a very busy person.
-
P.S. Any chance we can draft earlier than 9:30 EST?
-
I suggest 10:30 EST - I need you to be exhausted.
-
I'm not opposed to drafting earlier, but we'd need a good consensus before that happens.
What we really need is at least two more teams. A six team league isn't going to be worth it, IMO.
-
Well I can go find JD's malloc and have him rejoin from last year. I'll try today.
-
I don't even follow baseball but I've enjoyed playing the other sports with you guys so I'm in.
-
Excellent, welcome. One more would be awesome and up to three more wouldn't hurt either. Newcomers welcome.
-
Note draft date is 23 MARCH
Didn't realize the 23rd was a Wednesday (league night for me). Looks like it's autodraft for me this year; not that my own drafting abilites have helped me the past few seasons...
-
How much attention would I have to give my team?
Set it once and review once a month?

Perfect.

Did we manage to move this earlier? Turns out I have a birthday party to go to at 8:00 Wednesday (CST). So I might not be able to make it, again. :-[
-

-
I did not move the time from 8:30 as no one else chimed in at all. So it remains at 8:30.
-
Oh well... it's very unlikely that I'll be able to make it. Them's the breaks I guess.
-
Also, I got malloc to join. He'll sign up today.
-
I owe all of you guys an apology for completely owning you in the draft last night.
-
I'm not thrilled with my team at all... I probably wouldn't have picked Tulowitzki with the first rounder so I'm bummed that I got there when I did and missed that first pick... I'd have rather had Longoria I think. Utley was a mistake, and I found myself unsure of who to draft as far as closers go. Then I had to auto-draft past about round 7 or so, which sucks.
-

As long as you stop bitching about not understanding Yahoo's rules, you can think anything you want. :-*

Slippery and Canadian - correct. Cheater - nope. It is written on Yahoo's rules page my friend. I truly expected such a highly educated man as yourself to actually be aware of all of the rules. My bad. ;)

Like you said, it is a glitch that they can't/won't fix and it's buried in the rules so badly that I had to google what the hell you were talking about to get to the page.
And I just think that rather than write "Max Innings 1300" on the lower left of your team page, there should be an asterisk, since you have a trophy exclusively because what they wrote on our team pages isn't true.
Them's the facts.
-
I don't see how you can call playing by the official rules cheating.
I seem to recall a year where you swooped in and fixed yourself up with Andre Johnson... that was more of a stretch than this is.
-

It's not technically cheating. I'm just riling everyone up.
But I don't think maximum innings 1300 should be posted in multiple places without explanation on the spot how someone can get 30 extra innings.
-

I hope you also seem to recall that the rotating waiver system hadn't been turned on for 2 months and as a result I never got my free agent even though I should have been first in line at that point.
You just got mad because I caught the error when it was your turn to screw me out of my man.
That was literally 6 years ago.
-

I'm going to claim exemption to ownership as the computer was responsible for my roster... I'll be sticking with that story throughout the season as I end up fumbling through things. That is all.
-
Season starts tomorrow! Bad luck everybody! I hope all of your first round picks have terrible seasons!! Except mine.
Sorry saying "good luck" to the competition is kinda silly.
-
Sorry sportsmanship saying "good luck" to the competition is kinda silly.
Uh huh.
-
WOO-HOO, 1st place!!! I'm going to enjoy this while I can because I KNOW it's not going to last...
-
What?! Dressel's not in first? Shocked. I am completely shocked. :-*
-
He is in first.
-
lol
-
Whew! Order has been restored to the world. Hopefully this will help end the volcanos and earthquakes and nuclear meltdowns, oh my.
-
Just noticed Dressel's new slogan over on yahoo:
Osborn's back for what was stolen from him
Man, you just don't pay attention to the movies do you. Good guys win, even when all hope seems lost. Life imitating art. No theft, just good karma. 8)
-
This ain't no movie Bug! This year I'm putting the smack down, I'll be sure to be in first by more than one point on the last day of the season. This year I'll spot you the 30 innings.
P.S. Even Osborn ruled the comics from '08 to '10. If it weren't for Sentry flipping out in Asgard, he'd still be in charge ;)
-
I never thought I'd see the day when a 'Dressel' team is in last place in the league... I think the apocalypse is upon us.
-
Only temporary I'm sure.
-
I've got speed for trade, in exchange for your power.
Now accepting offers.
-
I've got more home runs than I know what to do with, and very little speed.
I'm open to offers too, but will need a little while to peruse your roster if you want me to make one first.
-
Free agent pick up of the year.

-
I might nominate someone from my team, but they'll just be on the DL shortly anyway regardless of who I name. ::)
-
No need to. Shields has it at this point. In the last two weeks he's thrown 3 complete games, gone 3-0, has given up 1 earned run, and has a WHIP of 0.59, all that with 24k.
The guy's on fire right now.
-
No need to.
I think you missed my point.
-
Nah, I got it - I was just looking for some weak excuse to express my man-love for James Shields after another dominating performance.
-
Oh, ok. I'd love to express my love for my pitching staff but a good chunk is wounded.
-
Anyone know what's up with the projected games chart? In two days I went from being +6 for outfielders to being -9. Likewise I went from +2 at UTL to -2.
I'm trying to figure out if it's more accurate now or was more accurate before?

I'm guessing it's just screwed up now. I was pretty consistently around even with my OF and suddenly I have -14 there. Great news for me but not reality IMO.
-
Looks like the numbers are back to normal.
-
The email from Yahoo says that all of you guys have actually reached your maximum games played and you should just bench all of your players for the rest of the season. You should probably go take care of that right now it seems urgent.
-
That might be the only way you'll win this league again. :P
-

That'd be more respectable than using 30 bonus inning when you only have .1 innings remaining.
-
Playing within the stated rules is always respectable.
-
My reading comprehension being superior is not a fault nor is it cheating.
Your statement would carry more weight if you weren't planning on doing the same thing this year. :-*
-
Isn't that nifty. On top of all the other twists and turns one of my relievers, with 36 saves, seems to have been deported or something to that effect, prior to the end of the season. ::)
-
3 way tie for 1st with two days to go?! :o
-
Yeah this is a first for JD I think. Gonna be crazy!
-
Yep. Good luck gentlemen.
-
I will not be sleeping until Wednesday night when it's over.
-
I figured that it was time to let someone else win. It was getting kind of boring.
Or maybe I got hammered by injuries, I can't tell the difference. :P
-
Awesome finish to the season guys; could have gone a lot of ways.
Congrats to the Foul Balls on a great season.

Congrats Rob.
The media is going nuts with the 2 epic meltdowns that happened in baseball last night, with both the Red Sox and Atlanta Braves being yanked from The Big Dance in shocking fashion. But nowhere is it mentioned the 3rd, The Iron Patriot! 6 point lead with a week to go, poof!
-
Not that I'm really a baseball fan, but does anyone think the Yankees threw the last few games to the Rays due to the Boston rivalry? Weren't they giving anyone an opportunity to pitch last night, even if they had a 7-0 lead?
-

No.
The players all get along just fine. They are friends and go out to dinner together. It's the fans that take it too far and hate each other.
Besides, the Rays have been much stronger of late than the Sox, it wouldn't make sense to face a hotter team.
-
What was the point of what seemed like hundreds of relief pitchers? I can understand giving somebody some experience or helping someone out, etc., but why do something to blow a lead like that? Boston did do themselves in, especially not being able to beat the Orioles, but it just seemed a bit of a strange call by the Yankees to me.

They were just setting up the pitchers they wanted with proper rest for the playoffs.

I'd like to thank Longoria, Fielder and Zobrist for finally showing up the last two weeks of the season...
-
Oh, and congrats Rob on your win
-
Thanks guys. Now if I can just find a way to win the football league for the triple crown.
