Devil Dogs...Marine Corps nickname given to us by the Germans WWI

I also had a great time...and can't wait for the season to start. I went through all the teams to get an idea of who was the strongest and didn't see anyone who stands out at the moment. I've never done any head to head league before so this is all pretty new to me strategy-wise.

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone that The Commish gets 10% of all winnings as an administrative fee.

Can't go to my yahoo or fantasy baseball at work, could someone please cut and paste my roster and send it to me.

Michael, I e-mailed it to you as well.

I smoked a nice PAM last night in honor of the Pinched Loafs. I feel lucky this year.

My wife saw the name "pinched loaves" - she thought it was the best name ever. You have her vote to win it all.

ynkfn23,
I read a part of your trade info but I had a million emails because I have been out of town. I can't trade my Tex because he is my favorite player. A-Rod I can't have because I can't stand him. But thanks for the offer my friend!!!

Paul

Hey guys,
I am trying to find the post about mid-season winnings. Not to be a *&^ but I don't remember reading this. Not that it really matters. However, I hope you guys know that with Yahoo there is a playoff at the end and the winner of the league could be the guy in fifth. So...are we doing it by the guy who wins the Yahoo league or who finishes in first place before the "YAHOO" playoffs start? Can someone help me please. Thanks ya'll!! Oh and by the way....my team is finally performing!!! WATCH OUT!!!!

I remember we had agreed to it in a email that went around. But I thought it was for the team with the most wins at the All star break. I could be wrong.

Hi Guys,

The rule on the home page is a fiver goes out for the leader at June 2 (all star break) and then again "at the end of the season".

Guess the "end of season" thing isn't real clear. Is that end of regular season or winner of the whole thing (playoffs etc.)?

Whatever Chris (Spadesman) says is fine with me, but I think he should probably make a clarification before we all get to that point.

Spades?

TexMoose,

I found the email about the fivers. Here is the cut and paste version of the email.....

Here's a consolidated list of the League name submissions. Please reply back
to me your top three. I will assign points (1=5, 2=3, 3=1) and the one with
the most points will be chosen. If it's a tie, we'll decide between those.
Let me know which of the following names your prefer:

1. Punch Hitters
2. The No Joy in Bidvilles
3. The Double Corona's
4. The CanseCAO's
5. Castro's Bane, Dodgers to blame
6. The Cuban League
7. Bad Frog Blazers
8. Slimboli's Apostles
9. Damn I hate the New York Yankees
10. The Gray Ash League
11. The Dog Rocket League
12. The Winston Churchill League
13. The Bunt, Bat and Burn League
14. USA BOTLAB (BROTHERS OF THE LEAF AND BAT)
15. 9th Inning Stench
16. Hotdog Rockets
17. Bunch of Tight Ashes
18. Firm Draw
19. Crooked Burn
20. Torcedor Terror
21. Virgin Thighs (were ISOMs are rolled) ha ha
22. CBID Cigar Smoking Fools


After we choose the name, I will set up the league and you will be getting
an invite later this week. Was thinking we would do the following:

1. Send a 5 pack to the person in first place at the All-Star Break
and
2. Send a 5 pack to the League winner.

Any problem with that, or any other suggestions?

Chris

-------------------------------------------------
So I guess a fiver goes out to the leader on July 2 and then another fiver to the champion of the league (end of the playoffs).

Cool?

----------------------------------------------------

8track,
Thank you for posting that. I remember that email but I may have not read it all the way!! Thanks again!! I have no problem with sending obviously because I know my team is slowly working up there!!! HAHA!!! Thanks bud!

Paul

Sorry guys, have been traveling a lot lately and have not had much time to post. 8Track is correct. A fiver to the perons is leads at the All-Star Break and then another fiver to the league winner....which will be me. I will have the greatest fantasy comeback in history....'cause that is what I'll need to win.

Hey gents someone be sure to kick me out the winners via email with their snailers. . .I'm in the weeds, finding time to mail out the sticks is easy, finding time to surf the web at home the only place I can check on the league isn't. . . good luck. . .the second half of the season is mine. . ha ha

Finally to the mid-season break. Here are the standings YTD.

Regular Season Standings
Rank Team W-L-T
1 Wisconsin Greyhounds 85-44-11
2 Good Lukin Outs 78-52-10
3 The Overbidders 71-59-10
4 Cohiba Cubs 70-60-10
5 Nads 70-62-8
6 Texasmoose's Rangers 65-61-14
7 Pinched Loafs 66-64-10
8 texas yankees 66-69-5
9 The Dead Horses 64-69-7
10 Anejo Aholes 56-72-12
11 Devil Dogs 46-81-13
12 Habana Leones 42-86-12

Now the playoff stretch run starts. The top 6 teams make the post season. The champion wins a fiver from everyone else.

First fiver received, from the Cohiba Cubs. Among the five were a Partagas and a couple of members of the Torano Family. A couple of my favorites.

Thanks Man.
