SDMB fantasy baseball league

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I created a private fantasy baseball league for us SDMB people at Yahoo. Join if you want to. Dealine is March 29. To join, you first need to create a Yahoo ID if you don’t have one already. Then, join the SDMB group. Go to http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/baseball/ and follow the steps.

GROUP NAME: SDMB
Password: Cecil
ID#: 46480

League Settings: 12 teams. I chose the standard settings except for adding a few stats (on base %, ERA, …). Go to the league settings link to see details. The draft is set for auto-pick, so it will be done automatically based on our player rankings. I plan to just leave my player rankings set to the default. There is no money invloved.

Let me know if you have any questions: thaw@hotmail.com

I’m trying to join the league, but it says the password is incorrect.

Once correction to the info posted by c. george: passwords on the Yahoo! Fantasy Sports site are case-sensitive, and the password for the private league he created is all lower-case, not initial cap as shown in his post.

I tend to find Yahoo’s fantasy leagues rather sucky in comparison to some others, but I’m in.

Yes, thanks, the password has to be small letters.

PASSWORD: cecil

Sorry! This is my first time doing this, I can’t promise anything about how well it will work. Hope it’s ok.

I’m in. Team name is UncleBeer. What I wanna know is who’s the bastard that has taken the name “unclebeer” for their Yahoo! ID. I’m relegated to “therealunclebeer” now. Fucking prick.

All right, I found the sonofabitch who’s masquerading as “unclebeer”.

Yahoo! ID: unclebeer
Real Name: gwkinman
Location: Sacramento, CA
Last Updated: Feb, 28, 1998.

Anybody up for a road trip to Sacramento? I’ve owned the UncleBeer name for over 10 years now. This clown is a mere imposter.

I feel your pain, Uncle!! Somebody did that to me once and it PISSED ME OFF!!!

I’m with ya!!

11

Count me in. Team name: Zev’s Wolves

12

Sorry about the conflict with you two. Imitation is the best form of flattery?
Anyway, we have 8 teams now. Mine is the Chile Dogs.

13

Okay, I’m in. When’s the draft?

14

We have 9 teams. I lowered the size to 10 teams instead of 12. So, once we got one more manager, I will change our Draft Status to Ready. Then, I think Yahoo does our auto draft in a couple days. Hopefully, we will get a 10th mngr by Monday and our draft will be next week.

Unusual schedule this year. The Cub & Mets play two games in Tokyo next week. Then everyone else starts April 3 or 4.

15

Columbus Mad Cows are in! Do you want Commissioner Control on or off?

16

Good. Does commish control mean the commish would control your team? If so, then it should be off.

I will Yahoo know we are ready to draft unless anyone emails me in a day or two that they want to join our league: thaw@hotmail.com

17

OK, we have 10 mngrs, so I changed our draft status to ready. Any day Yahoo should do our draft. Here are the teeming 10 in the order they signed up:

Team name (sdmb name)
Chile Dogs (curious george)
RackensackTravelers (?)
Cecil’s Fielders (milossarian)
Out on Waveland (omniscient)
UncleBeer’s Brewers (unclebeer)
Zev’s Wolves (Zev_Steinhardt)
Lord Derfel (lord_derfel)
Smug Sox (?)
ReservoirDogs (ReservoirDogs
Columbus Mad Cows (idiotboy)

18

Smug Sox is me!

Go Mets!

19

And RackensackTravelers is, of course, me.
