Not looking good for tonight's game, so here's some light reading, courtesy of the N.C. State student newspaper and former BP intern Austin Johnson. One of the better mainstream pieces I've read and one of few times you'll ever see quotes from Jeff Dugas.
First off, sorry, sorry, sorry for abusing the comments section thusly. I'm looking for some intelligent baseball fans to join my new league.
Will/Scott: I'd shoot you an email and ask that you post my request, but I don't know how long it would be until you read it and obviously I'm already a little behind schedule. If you find this post to be an egregious offense, just delete it and forget iit ever happened. If not, could you help a brother out and put a quick post on the main page about it? My thanks for your bandwidth and time either way.
Everyone: I missed out on both of the fantasy leagues that opened up on the old site. I'm already in a Yahoo league with some college buddies, but it's the second day of the season and I'm already fed up with the league settings and unintelligent managers. I'd love to play in a league with at least quasi-sbaermetric, or at least halfway intelligent stats and roster slots. Even normal roto stats with a realistic roster would be an upgrade. I'd be happy to get into someone's league if there's an opening, but failing that, I've created a league on Yahoo. Here are the details (for now):
