No, no, I agree. I like it when guys say what's on their minds. Adds more hostility going into the season and stuff, more drive to beat the other guy. I was just making sure you weren't just saying this because he said it about a Yankee. And KeepTheFaith, Nomar really wasn't brought up in here at all that much, it was mainly about A-Rod.

Are you sure you're also not saying this just because he took a shot at A-Rod?

Right, it's all part of being a team. If you can't be a part of the TEAM, then don't play on the TEAM. Even though I said I don't really care about his off-field antics, it does get under the skin a little bit. I guess Manny couldn't find an I in TEAM and just picked out the M and the E Oh, btw, 5000th post. Woohoo.

Honestly, the last person on the board you should be calling an idiot is elsrbueno. Anyway, again, I don't care what type of person he is, as long as he gets the job done on the field, I don't care what goes on. If he sucks as a result of missing time at spring training or whatever (don't care how important the days are), then boo the f*** out of him. If he sucks because of his own carelessness, he deserves every bit of criticism he gets. But, until this happens, and as long as he puts up monster numbers, I'll sit back, take whatever stupidity comes from him, and enjoy watching him own bitches.

Hahaha I love seeing the crowd go nuts after a sick dunk. They're always like shoving their hands in the air and "OOOOOHHHHH"

I know some names are obvious, but I just want to make sure that no one disappears on the league. If someone disappears for 2 days, we won't be able to talk draft time so I'm making sure people stay attentive.

Well, you don't need much help...that's what he's pretty much saying. Of course, Manny's just dumb. He's a pro athlete. As long as he does his job on the field for the Boston Red Sox and doesn't let his "unhappiness" get in his way, I don't care what the f*** he wants. He makes 20 million a year to play for this team, so he needs to suck it up, and play.

Hahahah Mo Vaughn f***in owned that dude. He got JACKED UP!

Alright. All spots are now taken. The official list of people in the league: SchillingOutTheKs YanksHater213 yankeessuck013 jsinger121 ARod2212 26 to 6 AlexandertheGreat13 One Red Seat kreinbihl34 CrespoBlows MC Hammer Beckett95 I will need all of you to post here by Thursday night (2/23) at 11pm telling me your team name in the league so I know who is who. Please try to not change your team names through the season, as it is easy to lose track of who is who. If I do not see a post saying your team name by 11pm Thursday night, I will delete you from the league, and your spot will be up for someone else to take. After that is all squared away and we have the final list of people in the league, a draft time or 2 will be proposed. That's what everyone needs to do. If you are NOT in this fantasy league, PLEASE refrain from posting in here, as it could get confusing because some people may mistake you for a team manager. Thanks. SchillingOutTheKs = JOE BUDDENS

EDIT: Wow. I'm terrible at counting. There is actually 1 spot still open.

Hahahaha Yeszir, I love how you editted the picture out.

Yep. 1 spot left fellas.

2 spots left. I'll send you the info, and you can see. You'll have plenty of time to think before the draft, so no rush. But once you're in the league you can see the league settings.

Well, the draft can take anywhere from about 1 - 2.5 hours depending on how long people take to draft. The league itself isn't very demanding, you just check for trades and stuff that people propose, and accept/reject/make a counter offer. And you just set your rosters for each day. It depends though, you don't have to check EVERY day just remain active so the league doesn't get boring. Also: Seriously, if your team sucks, for the sake of us all, don't just give up on the league. In fairness to others, stay somewhat active.

And for the record, 26 to 6 and ATG13 are in. 3 spots left.

I said I would give you a list of draft times. I HAD to pick a time in order to set up the league, so I picked the latest one they offered...sheesh chill everyone. I WILL give you a date and time don't s*** your pants. Thanks to MC Hammer and CrespoBlows...seem to be the only people who read the post.

5 spots left.

6 spots left.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about doing a fantasy baseball league on Yahoo! for TalkSox and if you're interested, post below. I'm thinking 12 teams max, so the first 11 posters will get in. (I already count as a spot.) I will leave the positions as default Yahoo! settings, and it would be a head to head league. I personally tihnk rotisserie can get a bit confusing. I'll create a league, and once I have all the responses, I'll PM the league info out to the first 11 posters that respond with interest in a spot. Note that you should only sign up if you are willing to check your rosters frequently throughout the season. Once all the spots are squared away, I will offer draft date times in this thread and the people involved will compromise to make a draft time. I want to be as fair as possible for people getting who they want, so let's try to respect each other's schedules and get a time where everyone can be there. Also, trades in the league will be reviewed by ALL teams in the league, and league votes will either permit or restrict trades. Waiver length will be 2 days. Commissioner has no superiority over anyone, and I will not abuse any power or do anything stupid. That being said... Post now! -PRIZES (for first place): --- Custom user title --- $100 cash from SFOC's generosity

Carlos Lee will definitely be on George's list. Imagine C. Lee playing RF while having Sheffield be the DH? That is SCARY. Anyway, I don't miss those bidding wars....we always end up spending so much friggin' money. Hahah, but they ARE fun.

Do you believe Roger's number shouldn't be retired?

Yes. Perhaps Manny believes this WBC is just going to be a ball buster and not live up to the hype, in which case he'd rather focus on the season. Which is what I'd rather him do.

I don't really care, but I also heard he had permission to not show up until that later date. SUpposedly, he's doing some physical therapy thing. But again, as long as he's the Manny we all know and love on the baseball field, I don't really care.

Those former Marlins also won a World Series the year before we did. I'm ecstatic to see the combination of these players.

Well, Pedro was one of, if not THE greatest pitcher Boston has ever seen. Granted, there was Clemens too, but Pedro is still right up there.
