This baseball league is an example of why democracy doesn't work.  Or something. 

This statement is me too.

I don't care.  Someone needs to be the proletariat dictator and get this thing in the can!

I may have a lot of opinions, but, at the end of the day, I couldn't care less what the rules are, etc.  I'm in.  If JD wants to be emperor, or Pre, or, shit, even BC, I'm in.

Wait...the fuzzy end of a what?  Never mind, there's no time for that now.

This head to head gheyness thing...is this going to be one of those leagues where each category is its own 'game' in the standings, like this dumb NBA league I'm in?  So, if we have 12 categories, one team can go 12-0 one week?  Or, do we get points for whatever each player does?  Like, a home run would be 4 points; a single is 1 point, etc.  The guy with more points at the end of the week wins.

Agreed.  Let Oleg be commish.

Oleg's irresponisble.  There's no way he should be trusted with anything this important.

1.  Why limit the number of DL slots?  Who cares if you have 1, 2, 5 or unlimited?  As long as the commish is strict with who can be on it (say, a 3-5 day grace period to move someone off the DL or they get dropped into the free agent pool), what difference does it make?

2.  I always thought the way to make closers and middle relievers be more equal statistically is to eliminate saves, not add holds.  I'm sure we can come up with something to replace saves that doesn't necessarily skew the stats towards starters more (because they pitch more innings).  Perhaps upping the number of relievers you must have active?  Maybe separating the reliever stats from the starter stats?  I don't know.

3.  I'm a proponent of using OBP over BA.  We need to find a middle ground between counting stats and average stats.  If there are 6 offensive stats, 3 average and 3 counting stats seems good.

4.  It hasn't been brought up, but, I'm definitely against using any stats in which the lowest number wins, like losses.

5.  I'm with Dan on the roto thing.  The pitcher league?  Good luck with that.

OK...what else?

I still think we should also forego the bench.  With that few decent free agents available anyway, I say screw the bench.  Play everyone!

Here's the problem with that idea, especially if our league is a H2H league... If my team needs wins down the stretch to get in the playoffs and one of my main players is hurt for a few weeks, but would likely be back for the playoffs, this leaves me in a pickle. Do I let that player go to get even a little production from his position in order to try to get wins? Or do I leave his position empty and hope I can overcome it to get in the playoffs? I think having a five-man bench is pretty minimalist, but at the very least I think teams should have at least three bench spots just to account for circumstances like the one I just talked about. If someone can build a team where nobody from the team is hurt for at least three weeks through the whole season, I would be shocked because I have yet to see it even come close to happening.

Maybe three bench spots and two DL slots? I don't know...

You know what?  You're right.  I keep forgetting this is going to be one of those ghey head-to-head leagues.  In a roto league, my idea would make more sense.

I would like to see a near-unlimited DL bench with some strict rules about hoarding players on it.

I vote for fewer free agents.  If I get a vote.

I still think we should also forego the bench.  With that few decent free agents available anyway, I say screw the bench.  Play everyone!

For the record, my avatar-less ass doesn't give two shits whose ass I kick.  So, if we split in two, like an ameba, whoever takes charge just do with my team as you please.

And, someone besides me try to convince Moran Mike D to play.  He'll give you excuses, but don't take 'no' for an answer.

And what the hell happened to the spell-check.  I'm posting like a special kind of idiot today.

the date I've lined up is Sunday, 8/10/07. After-tax will be about $140, which includes seating, food, beer & wine...

I'm hoping to see a contract on this sometime this week.

Dare I ask what HWFC is?  And, how much sponsor money is SSM ponying up?

Shut up Paul, you're a douche.

D'uh.  Sorry, I blame the cold medicine.

I didn't sign up the first time around - mostly because half teh time teh board is down and I have a life. I'd love to be one of the cool kids if there's room on the bus.

Would it be contrary to the spirit of the day if I said you'd have to sit in the back?

For some reason, I have feeling that's where the good doctor would prefer to sit.
