Sam,

I gotta say, seeing that 0 in your Vcash account really depresses me
Me too.......lol...........25K on the Donkeys at home against the Chargers seemed like a good bet at the time...........just like the (last) 5K on the Seahawks at home against the Cards did. Sprinkle in a few "Man, I'm getting 3-1 on the Texans at home against (insert team that beat them here)" and it all went bye-bye.

I'll go with the flow as I've learned over many years never to question the smartest people in a circle of geniuses.

Play Ball!

Jim brought up a good point regarding Fantrax:

The site does not support internet explorer 6 or 7, so if anybody is using an older version they would need to download something newer. If this info changes your vote, please let us know.

IE 9 & 10 work but they recommend firefox or google chrome.

I'll be as active as I can but I hope I might actually be able to bring something to the table this year. IMO way harder than football.

The cliche is fantasy football is a sprint, fantasy baseball is a marathon. So, that alone makes baseball harder (and better, IMO), as you always have to be looking down the road.

Well I was able to go in and look around in their site and I use Chrome so I guess it will work for me. Go Niners! (I just puked in my mouth)

I must admit I laughed it off, the thought of Carlos Santana playing 3B at all, let alone this year! Looks like it actually is closer to a reality than most would think.

...could be intersting

Hey Tommy, you talked about not playing your stud catcher at first. What are your feelings about playing him on third?

LOL.

I am still playing him at C, but 3B is slightly more interesting.

I will send invite the following 3 guys tonight so long as nobody objects:

Micro
Milk Spiller
Foot

I have a couple more in mind but those 3 seem like the most logical place to start. We need a total of 8-12 to make this thing work.

I almost forgot because it was so long ago, but Barilko (football MBBRL) was going to be in this league too originally, but he wasn't on the boards during the football off season and we failed to connect.

He could be the fourth invitee

Milkspiller and Micro are the first two members of the B league! We are on our way.

I have not heard from Foot yet.

Has the thought of using espn' site ever been talked about? Or does it not support what the league's needs are? I've always thought it was very easy to navigate and use.

We are actually looking at Fantrax right now. They have a few features that Y! lacks (most notably the line-up deadlines are just before the first game on Monday instead of Sunday night).

So far, nobody has really objected so it looks like that is the direction we are heading.

Going to have to remember to check here daily if now hourly from now on. I see lots has been discussed since I last checked in 4 days ago. And, so, far, i am just reading and rolling with the punches as far as any possible changes for 2014 are concerned.
