By the way, I'm the Apple Bowls.

Slak is here to give you free ass whippings.

That is to say, you will be whipping my ass.

don't sell yourself short, kid.

you're going to be in the shape of your life after all the pinch running you're going to be doing.

[Three times a JD]

All right, I changed the number of teams to 18 (and not because JD gave me an ALL CAPS ULTIMATUM) but because it looks like we got everybody signed up. 

As a result, I also increase the pitching staff to eight.  Three starters, two relievers, three of either.

Since it's a keeper league I kept the bench at three so morans like me can stash a rookie there all year and then not keep him anyway.

Everything's comin' up JD so far.  The all caps WORKS EVERY TIME.

I know who you are.  You're my first victim.

Alright, so has the league been created yet?  And if so, what's the info to join?

I don't think the Roto one has been created yet.  If you're talking about head to head, then the info's in this thread. 

If the Roto thing isn't going to be created, I'll happilly join this whale of a league.  Sometimes, it's more about whom one beats than about which game is played.  Or something.

Here's the Roto league: http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/desipio2

League number is 31664
League name is Desipio 2
Password is morans.

The draft is set for Sunday, Feb. 24 at 9:00 AM (weekend draft slots are almost all full -- that is the last weekend with any open slots; weekday evenings appear to be completely full).

The limit is set at 16 teams, but can be adjusted.

Like the other league, I used the traditional 5x5 categories and added OPS and holds.

Roster limits are 2 C, 1 at each IF position plus CI and MI, 1 at each OF position plus 2 OFs (any), and Util. 9 Ps (any)

All of the above are open to negotiation, but I had to fill something in for now.

The draft time sucks, but the options are really limited.

I still say we drop saves and holds and a pitching category...maybe k/bb, that way, it's innings neutral, so middle relievers still matter and we aren't forced to use a convoluted stat like holds.

Just a suggestion.

Edit: Nevermind.

I assume we would then drop a hitting category as well, right? Batting Average?

Week 15 vs. Andy
Week 17 vs. Apex

I can't wait, punks. I am not going to be like the Patriots and win every game except the big one(s).

Yeah, I guess.  Although I like the idea of VORPDonkey not going in the 1st round, which he would invariably go if we kept OPS and dropped BA.  I say, keep BA and drop OPS.  Or drop 'em both and add OBP, perhaps.  I dunno.

You could always drop SB, which are as useless as saves.

Wait a minute, I signed up on the list for the H2H league but it was full. Son of a bitch, I wanted to witness the week-after-week-after-week stomping machine that is BC.

I can't remember exactly what I said in the first thread, but it was something like "You guys had better get your kicks in now, because when this league starts I am going to dominate week after week after week."

You can just make it up.  I'm sure no one read it, anyhow.

Actually, I'm pretty sure someone made it their sig. (Because it was gold. Gold, Brian.)

Doesn't mean anyone READ it.

[Lance Dicksons Arm]

I'm looking forward to the moment in the draft when BC takes Rick Ankiel about 5 rounds too high.

Last league we played with him, he drafted Scott Podsednik about 22 rounds too high. hilarity ensued.
