2016 HBT Fantasy Baseball

[JohnnyO]

Okay, we have two new owners aboard! Welcome to Eric and his Irish Red Birds and Humberto and his Pickle Weasels.

Eric is taking the team formerly owned by Dave (LA Yankee Clippers) and Humberto is taking over the team owned by Othon (Lipstick City Lotharios). It hurts to see these guys no longer involved as they were both original members of the league.

Wish the best to both of them.

Now, let's play ball!!

Thanks!

If I drink homebrews while I get my new team situated, will I be more likely to win?

Doubtful, but its worth a try! Good luck!

 

[JohnnyO]

Disagree. That totally works. Every time.

 

[JohnnyO]

Eric, I was set to accept your trade offer, then realized that giles had been "demoted".

Good match this week so far.

 

[estricklin]

I'm having a lot of fun so far, learning curve though that's for sure. I haven't played fantasy baseball since I was in college, and then it was yahoo and I've never played ESPN fantasy before.

Anyway it sure is nice to come home from work and watch a game, AND relate some of those players to my fantasy team!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Good to hear the noobs are enjoying themselves. We need some smack talk and witty banter in here!

 

[estricklin]

Also noticed it says "Dave" by my team name, is that the old owner's name?

 

[Almfamily]

I would love to smack talk, but evidently half my team decided to not show up for opening day!

 

[Almfamily]

Anyone catch the end of the Brewer / Astro game tonight? Wild way to win one for sure...

See if you were a Cub's fan you'd be used to that!

 

[Almfamily]

Thank goodness I am not - having one in the house is bad enough!

 

[Almfamily]

Johnny-O has got to be sweating buckets - our match is pretty darn close. Bad juju to lose to the worst team! 😂

They replayed it and discussed it ad nauseum on the Mets game. Ridiculous call.

it was. I'll fix it for you.

Hey don't sell yourself short! (That makes me feel a little better)

Dammit, Verlander!!!!!

 

[Almfamily]

Could be worse - you could have had several guys on your team suddenly not play on Sunday!

Oh that happened too!

I hate when this happens. There's gotta be a term for it somewhere.

Anyone seen or heard from Waiver Wire Heroes? We might need to replace him. I'm not seeing any activity on his team.

 

[Almfamily]

Oh that happened too!

So, you are saying you and I are battling for the number 1 pick next year?!

Perhaps I should rename my team to the 76ers and start chucking games now!!

Hahaha im winning this year, dang it! The wicked weather in the NE screwed me last week. Too many games postponed/ too many players on the same team!

I hear that - I noticed game 2 I had 3 Giants on my team. Fortunately they all had a good week!

 

[bosoxdave]

My whole damn team is on the DL.

Gahhhh.

Dave

 

[Almfamily]

Ooh!! Can I play Dave next week?!

 

[bosoxdave]

Be careful for what you wish for!

Dave

 

[Almfamily]

I wish for loads of time to brew lots of beers!

"Crosses fingers"

 

[JohnnyO]

We have an open team if anyone wants to join up with the league. If any current members know someone looking to take on a team, please send them to me. Until that time, I'll be "managing" that team. I.e. Making sure there are no DL-eligible or other people on the active roster that don't belong there.

 

[JohnnyO]

I put two guys on the DL, added Angel Pagan and Mat Latos, and made minor tweeks to the roster, benching Khris Davis who's amassed 1 point this season and put Pagan in there. I also benched Anibal Sanchez in favor of Latos.

Nothing crazy, just want the team to be competitive.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Good idea, Johnny. No one else on HBT was interested?
