Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on March 18, 2004, 10:57:19 AM Is this the right forum for this? Should we have one catch all thread, or break it down by sport? I NEED somewhere to gloat about my upcoming romp through the WT fantasy baseball league, and to lament about my March Madness bracket getting eviscerated the first day.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Joe on March 18, 2004, 10:59:18 AM Once everyone gets settled, I'll probably create a sports forum again. And as we all know, my starting pitching owns all.
The rest of my staff is injured. Anger. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Lunkwill_Fook on March 18, 2004, 11:03:43 AM I've finally got a pitcher so watch the fuck out. Because I's gonna beatcha and I didn't even get to draft my own team!

Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Teleku on March 18, 2004, 11:59:36 AM You got a pitcher who has almost no cartaledge left in his knee, is old, and spent most of last season injured.
Hey, I'll trade you Kevin Brown as well if your interested. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on March 18, 2004, 12:46:55 PM Goddamnit- the very FIRST fucking game in the NCAA tourney, and my bracket is in shambles. I know better than to back Florida...they ALWAYS fold like a hooker who just got punched by a fat guy with sores on his mouth come tourney time.
Small consolation, but at least I got TT and Maryland right. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Mr_PeaCH on March 18, 2004, 12:58:26 PM Shambles? Wha... you had them getting by Wake (and St. Joe?!)? Shake yourself, WAP.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on March 18, 2004, 01:02:51 PM I have no idea what the hell I was thinking- I think I had them going to the regional finals! Talk about a fever dream...
St. Joe will get beat before the regional finals-probably the Sweet 16. Wake is losing right now, so they better pick it up! Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports?

End of regulation and the refs whistle a held-ball on a rip away. Fastest damn whistle I've ever heard. DePaul uses the turnover to tie the game. First OT - .4 seconds left, tie game, DePaul guy tries to inbound for the redirect and launches the ball into the rafters and hits the scoreboard. Dayton gets the ball with .4 left right under their basket. Inbound, redirect, obvious foul, no call. Second OT - Dayton implodes and non-stop fouls the one guy who can actually shoot freethrows. He hits 8/8 in the third OT for the win. Edit: Ahh crap. Just realized I signed up here with the wrong name. Well I'm now no longer Phulax, I'm now UD_Delt I guess. Edit #2: Corrected game summary due to sleep deprived brain... Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: HaemishM on March 19, 2004, 08:02:49 AM Remember, live draft for the WFT Yahoo Baseball league is tomorrow at 1 pm CST (11 am PST, 12 Noon MST, and 2 PM EST). If you aren't going to participate in the league, let me know as I have one person who would like a spot if one opens up.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on March 19, 2004, 09:44:19 AM Both of my Yahoo public leagues drafted overnight- this is how I ended up-
Quote 1st team- C- Jason Varitek 1b- Albert Pujols 2b- Luis Castillo 3b- Eric Chavez SS- Miguel Tejada OF- Carl Crawford OF- Miguel Cabrera OF- Juan Gonzalez Util- Derek Jeter (goddamned autodraft gave me a Yankee!) Bench- Jose Reyes, Adam Kearns, Eric Hinske, Joe Crede, Matt LeCroy SP- Curt Shilling SP- Kevin Brown (another Yankee!) RP- Arthur Rhodes RP- Shigetoshi Hasegawa P- Matt Morris P- Brett Meyers P- Ted Lilly 2nd Team- C- Ivan Rodriguez 1b- Mark Texiera 2b- Alfonso Soriano 3b- Morgan Ensberg SS- Nomar Garciaparra OF- Magglio Ordonez OF- Ichiro Suzuki OF- Brian Giles Util- Carl Crawford Bench- Kaz Matsui, Jose Reyes, Jeromy Burnitz, Eric Hinske, Ryan Klesko SP- Kevin Brown (again!) SP- Brandon Webb RP- Arthur Rhodes RP- Jose Contreras (bleah) P- Rich Harden P- Freddy Garcia P- Jake Peavy I listed the whole roster to point out the shortcomings of the auto-draft system. No way I draft 4 3rd baseman, and waste my entire bench on crappy batters and no pitchers. WTF???? I am gonna have to spend the first 6 weeks finding gems or I am screwed. My pitching staff last year carried me to victories in both my H2H league and my roto league- not gonna happen this year. Long way of saying I am glad we are doing a live draft tomorrow! Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Scorus on March 19, 2004, 11:43:54 AM And here I thought this was going to be about the Baseball MMO that keeps spamming my hotmail box.
I run a carry-over league in its 12th season? Still in the draft but my boys have gotten a little long in the tooth and it cost me last year as the injuries piled up (RJohnson, Sweeney, Edmonds, Piazza, Drew, etc.). Time to rebuild. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: CmdrSlack on March 20, 2004, 05:17:26 AM Arg. Stupid bar exam review class today during the live draft.
Bringing my laptop so I'll hopefully be there, but maybe my pre-ranks won't screw me too bad. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Lunkwill_Fook on March 20, 2004, 10:08:59 AM Are we going to hang out in an IRC channel during the draft or what?
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: CmdrSlack on March 20, 2004, 11:27:11 AM Live draft tool isn't workin...
Anyone know what I may need to DL to get in? Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: HaemishM on March 22, 2004, 10:01:47 AM All you needed was a Java-enabled browser.
Live draft was fun and didn't take too long, but holy shit did the talent pool get thin after about 2 rounds. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports?

Post by: HaemishM on March 22, 2004, 11:33:02 AM I may have picked more competently had I actually been replaced by the Yahoo bot.
Vazquez will pwn j00 all. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: CmdrSlack on March 22, 2004, 12:05:50 PM I don't feel so bad now about getting Clement instead of Wood, Prior, or Maddux......
Mostly cause poor madman's Prior is heading for the injury list. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Madman on March 22, 2004, 12:09:33 PM Prior isn't going anywhere except straight to the Cy Young Award with 20 games won, a low ERA and 250+ K's.
I am actually shocked that I got more Cubs on my roster (a total of 6) than Haemish Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports?

I am actually shocked that I got more Cubs on my roster (a total of 6) than Haemish http://www.suntimes.com/output/cubs/cst-spt-cub22.html Well, as a Cubs fan, I'm hoping I'm wrong about Prior and this is just my pre-season pessimism setting in. As someone who has Bonds, Griffey Jr, Nixon, (Jacques Jones I'm somewhat ok with...he's decent) in the OF, and a pitching staff that consists of Clement and Borowski (and maybe Willis, but we'll see how he does), I certainly hope he at least misses a start :) Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports?

I am actually shocked that I got more Cubs on my roster (a total of 6) than Haemish That's cos your ass kept stealing 'em before I could draft them, you pigfucker. Sosa, Ramirez, Prior were all taken the round before I could get them. EDIT: And because I'm a Cubs fan, I must say it's time to give up the ghost on Juan Cruz. He is never going to make the rotation; his control just will not be consistent enough. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Madman on March 22, 2004, 12:31:34 PM Hey you had your chance to take Ramirez, but you decided to go for another pitcher in the second round. I probably should have grabbed Borowski in the 4th round instead of Encarnacion, but I had to get another outfielder before they all disappeared. Oh well, I got Prior and Zambrano and thats going to equal a lot of strikeouts for me, as long as Zambrano plays as well as he did last year.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: Lunkwill_Fook on March 22, 2004, 12:55:26 PM Ahhh, the hopeless optimism of the Cubs fan. It should be bottled and sold as an antidepressant.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on April 07, 2004, 09:41:54 AM Bumping this back up since the season has started and the shit talking needs to get moving.
Quote Fucktards United 13 Kilt Wavers 1 Pwned. Just had to get that up there before my team falls apart at the seams. Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: HaemishM on April 07, 2004, 09:53:05 AM Not for long, bitchcakes. My ERA will start to go down, and I can finally get some of my heavy hitters involved.
Shit, I don't have any heavy hitters. PATTERSON WILL GUIDE ME TO VICTORY DAMNIT! Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on April 07, 2004, 11:44:28 AM I was pissed that you grabbed Mauer...until he snapped it last night. MRI time.
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: HaemishM on April 07, 2004, 01:12:55 PM Yeah, how unlucky do you have to be to sprain your knee in the second game as the young phenom? And how bad will the GM feel if Mauer misses significant time knowing A.J. is doing decently in San Fran?
Title: Sports/Fantasy Sports? Post by: WayAbvPar on April 07, 2004, 01:52:21 PM Heh- I was thinking the same thing. The talking head color guy on ESPN2 was jizzing all over AJ because he stopped a couple of curveballs in the dirt which ended up saving at least 2 runs. Doh!
