Fahntasy Baseball
« on: March 12, 2009, 02:06:46 PM »
Anyone interested in joining a Fahntasy Baseball league? I started one and have a few takers, but I'd like to hit 12 teams and right now I'm stuck at 6. It's not at all serious--novices totally welcome--but it's more fun the more people sign up, and I think I can trust FOTs to conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Just didn't want to make the league public and invite total strangers, 'cuz that's when the crazies come out.

I planned on an online draft next Monday, but I can push it back if it's a problem for any potentially interested parties. If you're interested, click on the link below. Password to join is scratchbomb.

I'm interested, but I've never done fantasy sports before.  How involved would I have to be?

I'll join. I've played fantasy baseball on Yahoo the past three years. I'm just not very good at it.

You draft a team, and you set up lineups every day. Then you cross your fingers and wait for millionaires you'll never meet play well. That's pretty much it. Smack-talk is optional.

Being good is far from a requirement. I've commished leagues before, and done everything from won first place to totally turfed out.

Awesome. Thanks for signing up. Our online draft is set for next Monday night (3/16). Let me know if that's a problem and I can push it up to a more convenient time.

I'll have to look for that album the next time I go to the Record Fair, which would be the first time I go to the Record fair.
