I have been trying for 3 days, but I cannot join the group. I keep getting “server error”. It is most frustrating. ---

Keep trying **Spiritus**. Yahoo has been shaky the past few days. But if someone takes the last spot, I’ll just add an extra one for you, no problem. Consider yourself in. [sup](Presuming you can connect before the start of the season.)[/sup] Good Luck. ---

Cripes, don’t let **Omni** in, he already knows _everything_! JK, I’d love to see him in here again. Hell, if I were gay, single, and in the neighborhood I’d probably marry the guy we’re going to be spending so much time together over the next few months, what with Diplomacy, Fantasy ball, Football threads and now this… ---

Better hurry! I’ve busted the gates open to the maximum 25 people - and the first game is tonight! The settings allow to make picks 5 mins before game time so if you miss tonight’s game, you may only miss one point. Hurry! good luck ---

Ok, I’m in. I missed the first game, but, I’ll live. It’s not like I’m going to be anywhere near winning anyway 😉 Watch for the **Tyrannosaurus Wrecks** as they free-fall through a neighborhood near you. ---

I feel _my_ pain. The pain of having the highest “total score” and still being in 2nd place. I guess I can salve my pride with the knowledge that if the world blew up tomorrow, I would win the league… Congrats on moving up **meek**. After his totally extraordinary 3 consecutive wins, I thought **newton\_meter** had a stranglehold that he wasn’t going to give up.
