The $ came from area bars and restaurants. We would pull everybody to the place after the games. Our's was Cy's Rec Room in Morristown, or Collins Bar in Morris Plains. They'd give us $20 a game and we'd pull 40-50 people in after the game. They made out pretty well I'd say. 11/19 06:36:58 bb50 MAC BOZ
Yea, it was a lot of fun and decent $. We played about 4 games a week. I actually made as much playing ball in the summer as I did teaching all winter. My first teaching job was $5200/yr. 11/18 18:10:44 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
That was decent dough back then. Nowadays, it would be 80-100 a game. Not enough to live on, but I'll bet youse had A#1 competitive leagues. True sportsmen. 11/16 17:10:44 bb50 MAC BOZ
Yea Jim, It was kinda like that. But the league had a lot of ex-college players, and we got $20-$30 a game. It was a way to keep playing baseball before turning to softball. 11/16 16:49:56 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
Semi-pro? Sounds kinda like men's league baseball/softball. no disrespect intended 11/16 06:22:32 bb50 MAC BOZ
Not many RT's. Games were mostly in the evenings after work, and some weekends. After the games were pretty tough though. Used to wind up at the Admiral's Daughter up near Lake Hopatcong. It was the only bar that closed at 4 a.m. Went to work in yesterday's clothes quite often. LOL 11/15 12:29:11 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
BOZ: Those old semi-pro road trips must have been tough. Got any good stories? 11/14 22:40:56 bb50 MAC BOZ
He is from SHP and Morristown also. Played ball with his Uncle Anthony in the Morris County semi-pro league. We both played on the Parsippany Tomahawks. Also on the team was Larry Pyle and Sal Millitello (Sam's Dad). 11/14 11:43:07 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
Hey BOZ. I believe Rick Porcello (DET) is an SHP boy. Maybe you played with his grandfather (back in the day)? :-) 11/12 07:00:25 bb50 MAC BOZ
HB - LOL 11/10 16:46:44 bt25 HairyBacks 
BOZ See 19:33:40 below... and I gave them credit for their home growns. Jeter and Mariano especially. Could go for some home grown about now, too much arguing. 11/10 15:42:34 bb50 MAC BOZ
I just hate the way they build the team. I'm old school I like a home grown team for the most part. Enhanced with a couple of free agents. Yankees are just the opposite.--------------- Still haven't seen a response to the facts presented 11/10 05:36:20 bb51 YANKEE FAN IN BOSTON MAC
Boz...It's a no win situation being a Yanks fan, if they don't win they choke, if they win it they buy it. By the way,I haven't seen too many Red Sox hats as of late! LOL 11/10 05:31:02 bb19 JENNALLYS
clancy2530@msn.com 11/10 05:30:32 bb50 MAC BOZ
I do see a need for a cap. But at the moment THERE ISN'T ONE. So should teams pretend there is one??? The point was the Yankees have as many important home growns as the Phillies. If the Yankees have done better with FA's oh well. Whatever, can't change minds. 11/10 05:27:13 bb19 JENNALLYS
John...Bubbas, can you send me your Email address. I have to ask you a ? 11/10 00:37:50 bt36 Dugout Diamonds
HB-- YES, baseball needs a salary cap. A REAL salary cap, not one that you can surpass and then pay a penalty for overspending it!!! 11/09 19:39:26 bt25 HairyBacks
CDM/Fanball... Baseball check received today. Thanks Carol. 11/09 19:33:40 bt25 HairyBacks
BOZ Not to help your argument but Ruiz is home grown and Vic torino was a Rule 5 signing. BUT you are comparing apples to oranges, Yeah the Yanks have their share of farm system guys, But your stacking up Arod, Tex, AJ and CC to the Phils Free agents? Let's go thru the list. Werth was injured and released by LA, a reclamation project. Victorino was drafted as a Rule 5 FA from LA, another project.Eyre was released and claimed.Ibanex was not a popular signing when made because of his age. Lidge was acquired via trade. The Phils took chances and the players developed. There is no comparison to blatantly trying to buy a championship, spending almost half a billion dollars on THREE players last off season. HALF A BILLION. Victorino cost 25 grand. And now they want to buy Lackey and Holliday. Spending doesn't always equate winning. Ask the Mets. Ask the Redskins. But this is beyond ridiculous. QUESTION You really don't see the need for a salary cap? 11/09 12:01:17 bb50 MAC BOZ
GOH - I'm a die-hard Yankee fan, but I don't know how "high profile" Jon Sterling is since I have never heard him call a game. I watch the YES network and MLB ticket and it is always Michael Kay or Ken Singleton. Although they are for sure "homers" they are generally pretty fair. And as much as I hate the SAUX, Jerry Remy is always pretty fair also on NESN. I have the dis-honor of being in the Rays area, and Dwayne Staatz is the worst "homer" I have ever listened to. On which broadcast is Jon Sterling ? 11/09 10:31:02 bt1 The Goh Network
Boz - I shouldn't have painted ALL Yankee fans in such broad strokes and I'm sure you are right that there are jerks who root for many other teams. However, John Sterling is (IMHO) pretty grating and his catch-phrase is rather high-visibility. One thing that we always told our son growing up is that if you are really good at something you don't need to tell anyone. It's self-evident......and if you go around constantly telling people how great you are they will resent you for it. Definitely applies to the Yankees and many of their fans. 11/09 10:19:08 bt1 The Goh Network
Remember all the hand-wringing around the time of the trade deadline. The Phillies had to "settle" for Cliff Lee instead of Halladay. Reuben Amaro did a great job in picking up Lee and Pedro down the stretch to put them in position to get to the WS. Props to the Yanks for winning it all. 11/09 08:39:24 bb50 MAC BOZ
I think the Phillies are a great team, but so are the Yankees. How a team is put together s/b irrelevant. But to say the Yankees buy pennants when no other team does is just ignorant. Phillies, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, Cards, Angels, White Sox, all spend significantly on free agents. That's the way MLB is configured. Some just do it better than others. Yanks and Phillies did this year. 11/09 08:30:50 bb50 MAC BOZ
And BTW - get your facts straight. Home grown - Jeter, Posada, Pettitte, Rivera, Cano, Cabrera, Hughes, Gardner, Chamberlain, Robertson, Aceves. Not - Tex, Arod, Swisher, Damon, CC, AJ, Marte of the significants. Phillies - Rollins, Howard, Vic, Ut, Happ, Madsen, Hamels, Durbin if others name them. Not - Werth, Felix, Ibanez, Lee, Lidge, Ruiz, Eyre, Stairs. Where is the difference?? Please tell me. 11/09 08:24:52 bb50 MAC BOZ
HB - I'm not an idiot. I know Lee was traded for. But it was still a purchase. Only a few teams in BB could have afforded him and the Phillies were one of them, and if they keep him or sign him to an extention, how is that any different than what the Yankees did. 11/09 05:15:42 bt25 HairyBacks
Lee wasn't purchased he was acquired in a trade. Just to get the facts straight MAC. The Yankees were a better tean than the Phils, I just hate the way they build the team. I'm old school I like a home grown team for the most part. Enhanced with a couple of free agents. Yankees are just the opposite.Either you love them or hate them, like the Cowboys and Notre Dame. I don't love em. 11/08 17:11:24 bb9 PBR
Say what you want about the Yankees but they are the champs. I am not a Yankee fan but if you do make the playoffs year after year I think that has to increase your chances of winning the World Series. Main reason why my Cubs haven't won it they can't get in the playoffs year in and year out. I don't fault ownership getting the players to win, more teams should do that IMO. Now that baseball is over football is in full swing and college basketball starting soon. Nascar should be over soon as well. 11/08 10:20:35 bb50 MAC BOZ
Last time I looked Money doesn't swing a bat or throw a pitch. And BTW, I believe the Phillies bought their way to the Series this year with the Cliffy purchase. Would have never been there without him. But whatever. The Yanks have been in the playoffs 14 out of 15 years. Not sure that is losing. 11/08 10:18:00 bb50 MAC BOZ
Hairy - WAAAAAA WAAAAA! 11/08 10:17:12 bb50 MAC BOZ
GOH - I guess you have never encountered Red Sox fans. No comparison. Just ask DRay fans that get inundated by both 3 times a year. SAUX fans are just flat out embarrassing. 11/08 09:52:45 bb17 CUBS SFL

BOBCAT... F*ck the Yankees. Any team that spends that kind of money should win EVERY year. And now they want Matt Holliday? If we ever get a commissioner with balls, there will be a salary cap and the Yanks will be dead meat. 11/06 10:42:06 bb40 Summit Squad
Sabathia getting too many emails http://www.derfmagazine.com/news/sports/669.html 11/06 08:51:04 bt1 The Goh Network
Bobcat - This is one of the reasons that people do hate the Yankees - The utter lack of class with which their FANS handle victory. John Sterling's announcing exemplifies it. Jeter, Posada, Rivera, etc. are great in the way that they give credit and pay respect to valiant efforts by worthy opponents. They elevate the game and let their actions speak for themselves. Too bad that their efforts sometimes get drowned out by the obnoxious rantings of those who have so little to do with their winning. Just my 2 cents. 11/05 09:39:04 bb96 BobCat Guidry
this is dedicated to ernie and born and the others who crawled out of the woodwork in april to throw dirt on the yankees' grave. THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YANKEES WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haaaa haaa haaaa haaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! he who laughs last..... 10/30 07:47:26 bb59 sombs sfl

NORHTCOAST... Tony those 0f us in Cleveland and about 15 other low market teams just have to enjoy our players for the five or six years we have them and let them move on. The players union will never let this change, so "what the hay" as Bobby Knight said when your getting screwed you might as well lay back and enjoy it. Go Charlie and the Philies. 10/28 17:40:43 mm6 Northcoast
Can't help but think about what might have been, If Lee wasn't hurt in 2007, Tribe wins World Series and both are still here as well as Vmart. Can't root against either one of them, they are both great pitchers and great people. I hope the Phils win because I always liked Charlie Manuel when he managed here, and still have my "i hate the yankees hankee" they gave out at a labor day double header a long time ago. Can't remember what year, but, I was sitting by the left field foul pole and Lou Pinella was the Yankee left fielder. 10/27 23:54:05 bb40 Summit Squad
Steuben - you are correct about the Giants, looks like I missed them, good catch! So, it's actually been done twice since 1909. Lots more such repeats in the AL, thanks to the Yanks mostly. 10/27 17:05:41 bb86 Steuben Kings
I guess I was right and wrong. They won one World Series title in the fifties and lost another. They did win back to back in 1921 and 1922 though. Both against the Yankees. I see they also won back to back in 1888 and 1889. The Cubs won back to back in 1907 and 1908. Both of these however are more than 100 years ago. 10/27 16:46:12 bb86 Steuben Kings
Summit: Didn't the Giants win back to back? In the 50's maybe? I could be wrong. 10/27 16:44:53 bb86 Steuben Kings

(in case it's unclear, the question refers to a *given* NL team repeating) 10/26 23:02:18 bb40 Summit Squad
A trivia question to exercise the brain before looking up the answer: If the Phils repeat, it will be only the second time in the past 100 years that an NL team has won the WS in consecutive years. Which is the only NL team to accomplish the feat during that period, and what were the years? 10/26 15:04:38 bb35 SIX PACK
Well, the Indians have a new manager but the main interest in these parts is if the Indians of 2008 or the Indians of 2009 will win the World Series. CC vs Lee !! Man, this is exciting. 10/26 14:56:42 bb50 BobCat MAC

UJ---If you win 200 or more you have to fill out the W9 form but they don't send a 1099 unless you win 600+ for the year. 10/24 13:58:59 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
CDM used to send 1099 for over $200 winnings. Has it changed? Numb? It should be "pretty simple". :-) 10/22 10:47:14 bb107 Comfortably Numb Champions
If the winnings/income aren't reported to the IRS on a tax form by the company that paid it out and you claim/pay tax on it it's safe to say you'll never be able to run for office. :>) 10/21 13:19:27 bt27 Catcher in the Rye
Summit : yep, I think that's how the IRS looks at it. 10/21 10:30:08 bb40 Summit Squad

Ernie - Fanball will send a 1099 to anyone who won $600 or more. 10/20 20:06:20 bb15 Zach`s Backyard Gang
Ernie- good news/bad news. Good news is you won good money in budball this year. Bad news is Fanball will send you and Uncle Sam a 1099 Misc I believe listing everything you won in 2009. Uncle Sam will expect you to claim it all. I on the other hand stunk up the joint and won't have to worry about a 1099 this year from Fanball. Enjoy changing those diapers your prize money will buy when you finally get it. 10/20 19:28:40 bb40 Summit Squad

UJ---Pretty simple, the OA Winners score has gone down every year since it hit the 17.5 figure. I don't keep printouts like you do because the game isn't all that important, but I have followed the OA winning score and adjusted my "points needed/salary formula" off of that.

With help from his low salary, Pavano was decent for this game tho.

The CFB season is the shortest of all games so it really dosen't take too much long term effort. I agree with UJ if you like the game play it and don't worry about the dineros, if you do well dineros will come. Oh well I am off to Oregon.

Catcher - I was thinking the same about Rodney. It's true that he seemed to be throwing at strength, but IMO Leyland was asking for trouble by leaving him in when he hadn't gone more than 2 IP all season. 10/07 14:57:15 mm29 Catcher in the Rye
I was freaking out when they brought Rodney for his 4th inning. Heck I thought he would be done after the 1-1/3 IP, much less come out to start 2 more innings. He threw 48 pitches - I don't know why Leyland thought he could possibly go another inning. Got to be the longest outing this year for a closer. 10/07 14:52:44 mm29 Catcher in the Rye
Goh : I got lucky with a league title in MS 15. Going into Tuesday's game I was 0.66 points ahead of a guy. I had Nathan - he had Rodney and Span. We both had Mauer and Inge, but he didn't put Inge in his starting lineup. Inge had 4 points and I ended up beating him by 3.33 points. If he had put Inge in his lineup, I lose the league by 0.66! 10/07 13:49:46 bt1 The Goh Network
FABJM - Yes, I was among the lucky ones to pull out a victory (in BT League) due to the extra game. I led the league virtually the entire year. The second place caught me with 3 days to go in the season and led by 2 points after 162 games. I had Miggy Cabs and he had Rodney. A Rodney win or save and he wins. I wound up winning by 4 points! What a ride! 10/07 13:05:05 bb40 Summit Squad
Paulk - if that were the case, the best team over the full season (largest sample size) would win the WS the highest % of the time. Instead, due to the randomness of multiple short series, lots of other teams have been taking the WS title, even wild card teams. 10/07 12:45:42 bb60 Paul`s Naturals
Summit- I tend to disagree. I think its much harder to win a WS now. You have to get through two teams to get there. Before 1969 you won your one division league and you were in. I think it means a lot more. 10/07 12:29:33 bb36 FABJM
Cool Guys: Congrats on an outstanding season and welcome to the Board. Be sure to look up PBR's Champs group for the next year. Enjoy the offseason Xtra Dough (LOL) & we look forward to your participation/contributions to the Board next year. 10/07 12:26:48 bb40 Summit Squad
the appropriately named AzTigers of lg 52 scored 45.66 pts, and is the top scoring team of the week despite leaving two Tigers sitting on his bench 10/07 12:21:33 bb40 Summit Squad
I've not seen all nine such tiebreakers, but I'd guess that was the most exciting of them. Too bad the winner earned the right to run into the better-rested Yankee buzzsaw. Of course, the way the post season is now layered with short series, anything can happen... but that's also why a WS title doesn't mean as much as it used to. 10/07 12:21:24 bb36 FABJM
Season is now official Ladies & Gents. Just skated to a 3rd place finish in 1 league (less than 8 points)....thanks to his Mauer (5 points) not going off too much against my Spann(1). Any other poster skated (just barely) thru...or fall victm of "bad luck" due on the final days of the reg season? 10/07 12:12:44 bb36 FABJM
GOOD afternoon Board. We had a PLAYOFF game even B4 the playoffs got started...What a show between the twinkies & tigers...what a game!!! 10/07 11:54:12 bb107 Comfortably Numb Champions
PBR---It's the ol Catch 22 Scott....they always say I'll play more when you get more players, but that makes it just about impossible for us to get more players. I sure wouldn't take all the time/effort that goes into the CFB game to play it for nothing. Maybe we should just do it as a weekly game/payout and they can get in anytime they want to. :>) 10/07 11:23:21 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
PBR: If they will only play for the "prizes", then they're not real players, imo. 10/07 11:16:23 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye

why does it not surprise me that there are no stats from yesterdays game? lol. 10/07 10:32:58 bb40 Summit Squad
Fanball - stat reports claim "Results reflect stats through 10/06/09" but they do not reflect yesterday's game 10/07 10:27:18 bb9 PBR
Cool Guys: Again congrats on a very good season. If you want to play college football go ahead and play now. Exhibition mode will dust off some cob webs. If we can get people to play the prizes will go up, the problem is I have people that are interested but not playing till the prizes go up. My thoughts are just play and the game will be back. It is one of the best games to play in my opinion as well win or lose. We have a good bunch of guys playing right now we need more for better prizes. 10/07 07:27:46 _78 Crazy Horse
BOYD- Great job in roto. That's a tough lg you won. No bb moves after the break here but maybe next yr, lol. 10/07 00:18:09 bb84 Ernie Harwell
You did an incredible job, COOL -- especially given the circumstances and competition. Kudos. 10/06 23:47:08 bb90 Cool Guys
PBR: Hope you're having success in getting the College Football game back off the ground...it was always my favorite CDM contest. Get that prize pool up and maybe I'll have to dust off some old skills and show you all how it's done again next year. :) 10/06 23:40:36 bb90 Cool Guys
DBS/PBR/Summit/Chuckle/RTL/Boz and everyone else: Thanks for the congrats. Wow, what a close finish both here and in BT, I feel very fortunate to have pulled this off. I have been following this board the last month or so, but I felt like to start posting when I was doing well would be the ultimate jinx of my team. I will try to post some next year. Congrats to all the league and overall winners. 10/06 23:32:55 bb90 Cool Guys
DBS/Fists: Thanks for the congrats. Honestly when I looked at the rosters of the top teams after call-ups, I thought you had this contest locked up. I caught a little luck with pitching and 2-steps towards the end. Congrats to you on a great season. 10/06 21:22:06 bb40 Summit Squad
Wow, what a game that was! One of the most tense and exciting I've ever seen, and in a one-game tiebreaker too. Congrats to the Twins. 10/06 21:19:59 bb51 Michigan Trumbull MAC
I'm with you, PBR. When they came back from commercial & I saw Rodney out there AGAIN, I about fell out of my chair. Maybe ALL the other pitchers had left already for NY. 10/06 21:18:19 bb35 SIX PACK
ERNIE... Laird reminded me of Jhonny, I have been watching that kind of baseball all year. Us Indian fans are looking forward to the CC vs Lee match up in the World Series. Of all the players the Indians gave away the past two years fire sales only Ryan Garko is not with a play off team. LUNY... thanks as always for being so kind to handle the $$$ in MAC. 10/06 21:05:04 bb9 PBR
what a great baseball game tonight. Sorry for the Detroit fans. I think the closer was left in way too long. 10/06 20:49:19 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Tigers = unmitigated disaster. Laird swinging on 3-1? I felt like I was watching a little league team they fundamentally failed so many times. 10/06 18:52:26 bb17 CUBS SFL
GRATS to all the posters that did well, lots of names near the top. Hind sight is 20-20 but when your first 2 drops are UJ and Wain your looking at a loooooooooong yr. Hope somebody takes over SFL. Everybody have a great winter and don't forget there is a budget ftball BBS, not many post over there. 10/06 18:36:44 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Leyland should be fired on the spot. This is all on him. What horrible mismanagement of the bullpen. 10/06 16:01:39 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Thanks, ZBG. FTR, I bet against the Tigers today. 10/06 15:09:04 bb15 Zach`s Backyard Gang
I'm about 130 miles East of Twinkieville and for the next week we are supposed to be fairly wet and mid 50's will be a warm day. Hopefully next year without the dome-field advantage their record will be less than playoff worthy. With that said here's hoping the Tigers can muster a good game today. 10/06 12:04:16 bb40 Summit Squad
The omission of a roof in Minneapolis is insanity. A cold blast is coming, and during this post season outdoor temps will regularly be below freezing there. If the Twins advance now I think they will be happy they still have a roof. 10/06 11:59:28 bb15 Zach`s Backyard Gang
Ernie- Nice job this year. Hopefully we won't be complaining about the Tigers tonight. Just think next year at this time if the Tigers/Twins have a play-in game at MN they won't have to worry about a MNF game conflict. Instead they'll have the 48 degree weather and constant rain to worry about. 10/06 05:30:29 bb50 MAC BOZ
Congrats to all - Cool, Catcher, Ernie, & DBS. Thanks to Scott for Champs. That was the best side game in the 12 years I've been playing and I know it was alot of work. Was pulling for you Dick, but crap happens GL to all next year. Catch derailed my try for a 2nd MAC title. Maybe next year. Have a great winter. 10/06 03:11:10 bt1 The Goh Network
Thanks for the props, Sunday. It's a lot of work but it's a labor of love. 10/06 00:02:51 bb84 Ernie Harwell
STEUBEN and BOYD: Thanks, fellas. Have nothing to complain about, believe it or not:) 10/05 20:55:07 bb36 FABJM
Congrats 2 all posters & for those who provided side games & resources/info...THANKS for adding to the Board. Here's 2 next yr ;-) 10/05 20:23:27 bb9 Sunday In The Park
Appreciations: Thanks again to PBR for creating a great side challenge game. Count me in for next year. And great appreciation to GOH network/Walter for a terrific column all year on the Owner's Edge. It was always fun to read and very helpful. Quite impressive that you could be so generous with your advice and still trounce most of us. Well done. Congrats to Catcher for the MAC win and top 100 finish. I'll look forward to your next year's team. Good luck to all who are in the Playoff Challenge. Hope to see you all in the Spring. 10/05 20:23:16 bb36 FABJM
GOOD evening Board. Man just squeeze out 3rd place in 1 league by less than 9 points after being down to that dude by more than 200+ at teh start of Sept....Now, He's got Mauer 2morrow & I have Spann...so we'll see-LOL. Enjoy your BREAK everyone and here's to 2010 ;-) 10/05 19:47:04 bb44 Harry`s
and the best part was fellow posters doing so very well 10/05 19:44:22 bb44 Harry`s
Congratulations to all with successful seasons--and thanks for being able to watch the two most exciting races in years or ever in BB and BT 10/05 18:50:55 bb9 PBR
Same here with my BT team. I get beaten out in the last week and finish 2nd and then drop from around 16th to 27th overall. Still it was a good year for the most part just ran out of umph near the end. Goh and Paul's Naturals and Hairybacks had the same thing happen to them. What a weird season it was. 10/05 18:46:55 _17 Ride The Lightning
Cool, congrats. 10/05 17:33:34 bt1 The Goh Network
Kudos to Ten Thousand Fists. Your congratulatory message to Cool Guys shows you to be a stand-up guy........... which is waaaaaay more important than winning an OA crown. As someone who spent a couple of months near the top of the BT standings and slumped bear the end, I hear you about disappointment following great expectations. Here's hoping the folks who spend a great part of the season complaining about their bad luck can take a page from your playbook. 10/05 17:03:15 bb60 Paul`s Naturals
DBS - I know how you feel. I was winning my BT league and in the teens OA all year. I lost the league in the last 3 weeks and dropped to 30oa. It all depends on where you were and where you ended up I guess. 10/05 16:26:23 bt1 The Goh Network
Congrats on the MAC win, Catcher. I'm looking forward to seeing the team that you choose next year. It's definitely more prestigious than winning an individual league title! 10/05 16:24:32 bt1 The Goh Network
Your point is well-taken, DBS. I think it's a pretty normal turn of events that when our team is doing well we are more likely to have something to say. I can say that I haven't spent a lot of time on any Mets forums this season and I am certainly less likely to post on the BBS when my team is going down the tubes. 10/05 15:25:20 bb50 MACatcher in the Rye
Summit : thanks! ... I've really enjoyed the 2 years I've played MAC. It's a lot of fun battling fellow posters. I sure do consider winning MAC quite an honor. I am 9th OA in one Budget league and will finish 2nd in league, but I'll gladly take the MAC win over that league title. I've got my thinking cap already on for MAC next year - hopefully I won't make 2010 a Space Odyssey - don't want HAL upset! .... 10/05 15:11:14 bb9 PBR
DBS: Looking forward to meeting you and Fearless Leaders in a few days. 10/05 14:45:22 bb7 Ten Thousand Fists
I hope this means we'll never have to hear Boyd accuse someone of being a fair weather poster ever again. Everyone, have a great off season. See ya in a few months. 10/05 14:43:58 bb7 Ten Thousand Fists
Sounds like whoever created the MAC roster did a bang up job. IMO it should be difficult to get a MAC team on the big board. 10/05 14:35:19 bb7 Ten Thousand Fists
Congrats to everyone who had a good season this year. 10/05 14:34:11 bb7 Ten Thousand Fists
Congrats to Cool Guys for the win. Nicely played. Thanks to everyone for the nice words of encouragement. I do have to say that if you told me before the year started that I would finish 4th, I would have been ecstatic. But, after leading for pretty much the entire second half and by as much as 150 pts, the ending has left me feeling pretty empty. I find it interesting that the path taken to get to the end result really does have an affect on how I feel about the results. If I had been sitting outside the top 10 all year and then made a huge push to get to 4th, I'd probably be super pleased. 10/05 14:14:24 bb50 Stairway to Nevin
Catcher - great job with the MAC roster! Yours is the only MAC team to finish on the leaderboard. (The only other year just one team did so was the 2003 MAC inaugural season, when Boz accomplished the feat.) You've won the honor of picking the 2010 roster for us. I'll update the MAC site after Tuesday's results finalize things. Thanks go to Luny for handling the MAC coupons. 10/05 14:07:59 bb40 Summit Squad
Steuben - thanks so much for calculating and posting the WTL updates all season, glad your scramble to reach the 2500 GP min was successful. Sorry to see prior WTL champs Chuckleheads and Scrap hit by untimely injuries and miss qualifying by so little... that's the closest anyone has missed the GP minimum. 10/05 13:57:16 bb86 Steuben Kings
Congrats to Ernie for winning the Mid Season and Full Season in Budget Champs. You had a great year Ernie. 10/05 13:55:41 bb86 Steuben Kings
Mark: Thanks for running SFL and CATL. It was fun. Of course it will be a lot more funner if Miggy hits a couple of homeruns tomorrow. :-) 10/05 13:53:59 bb86 Steuben Kings
Scott: Thanks for running Budget Champs. As always it was fun. The effort you put into the website is appreciated. 10/05 13:50:24 bb86 Steuben Kings
Scott: You have a chance to take first. It's your Mauer against my Cabrera and possibly EJax. Good luck/Skills 10/05 13:48:50 bb86 Steuben Kings

Budget Champions: Congrats goes out to Ernie Harwell. He won basically everything he could. Full final results can be seen on the website: www.budgetchampions.com Congrats to all the other winners looks like Cool Guys is bringing home some dineros and the tax man will be a calling...save 30% of your winnings for taxes!! Congrats!! If anyone wants to try the college football game for free send me your picks. Learn this year play next year. 10/05 13:09:29 mm13 BOYDS BOMBERS MS
Ernie, nice ass year brother. 10/05 13:08:17 mm13 BOYDS BOMBERS MS
Yeah Uncle it wasn't much fun at all in points this year. Congrats to you on a great season. As for Cubs he will be fine trust me. 10/05 12:55:43 bt27 Catcher in the Rye
Congrats to all you guys. Hope you all build on your successes or rebound from a down year. Thanks to Goh for his weekly column (always a good read) and Summit for the league graphs and MAC work. DBS - Sorry you didn't pull out the OA - lot's of us were rooting for you. Best of luck Tuesday to anyone with something on the line! 10/05 12:39:57 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Thanks, MOTTE. I don't plan on employing a similar strategy (1 buy left from mid-June on) again, though. I rolled the dice once there and got lucky, but never again. 10/05 12:37:29 bb87 MotteTheHoople1
Oh,,and remind me to avoid your lg's in the future. You kicked my arse pretty darn good:) 10/05 12:35:04 bb87 MotteTheHoople1
Ernies seems to be a pretty decent guy when he ain't whining/crying. Congrats on a damn good year Ernie! For being out of buys so early you did an absolutely remarkable job in last 8 weeks... 10/05 12:17:07 bt1 The Goh Network
Let me second that emotion by Ernie and give a big mahalo (thanks) to Catcher, PBR, in-system, and Waterboys (even though I didn't play SFL this year) for all their efforts. It was much appreciated. 10/05 12:06:36 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
Where's cubs been at? Must be spootin' prowess on the footsie boards..... :-( 10/05 12:03:16 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
BOYD: You used to post this board 24/7. Every day. Been awhile... Yeah. Maybe next year 10/05 11:57:24 bb84 Ernie Harwell
I want to thank PBR (Budget Champs), CATCHER (daily starters) and SS (insystem site) for their efforts this year, too. I know there are others who put in a lot of extra work to provide added resources to owners -- they're simply the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Thanks again, fellas. 10/05 11:50:28 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Thanks, SS and CHUCKLE. It's been a good year for me, and yes, the prize money will come in handy for food, diapers, hospital bills (ugh), etc. 10/05 11:45:34 bb60 MKSROOKIES
MKSROOKIES: DIED Today OCT 5th 2009. RIP 10/05 11:13:08 bb102 The Chuckleheads IV
Congrats Ernie. Hope you can sneak in a few more teams into the top 10. It'd buy some more baby food. :-) 10/05 11:07:19 bb90 The Chuckleheads II
Sorry to see DBS lose out, though congrats to Cool Guys. Do budget teams in his league get a free entry for next season? I think I've seen that in the BT game, but wonder if the same applies to budget. 10/05 11:05:55 bb82 BobCat Chambliss
congrats to everyone that won something or played well. the loyal CDM customers constitute the best competition in fantasy sports, imo. 10/05 11:05:39 bb111 One Life To Live
Congratulations to William of Baxters Bombers for winning league # 111; we had a great 3 way battle for the last few weeks and I enjoyed it and your team came on top. 10/05 11:01:45 bb87 Cuban Sugar Kings
Congratulations to John of MotteTheHoople1 in league # 87 for winning the league and for his great overall finish. You had a great season and I hope not to be in same league in the future. 10/05 11:00:28 bb82 BobCat Chambliss
congrats to summit for dominating WTL. congrats to uncle for dominating 1 move. congrats to summit for fighting off rest of CATL for that title as well. 10/05 10:35:37 bb87 MotteTheHoople1

kicked 10/05 10:11:35 mm13 BOYDS BOMBERS MS
Summit, I couldn't agree more about the two step. It comes down to having the right guys to double on a roster. I hope to rebound for sure next year. I was out of it very fast this year. Even the MS game that I felt I would do well in I sucked bad. A lot had to do with not taking once again the biggest bargain in the game Sandy. I did the same thing last year with Sherrill. Oh well maybe next year. Huge props to all of you guys that kick a ss. 10/05 09:26:26 bb80 Summit Champs
Looks like you won Champs too. Actually, it's so close I should look if Tuesday could make a difference. 10/05 09:25:08 bb40 Summit Squad
Ernie - I see the splitting of your rosters got one of your teams into the top 10, pending Tuesday of course. Congrats. 10/05 09:22:12 bb40 Summit Squad
Congrats to Cool Guys as it looks like his #1 finish will survive Tuesday's game. The final week illustrated the power of the 2x. 10/05 08:56:47 _44 Lunatic Fringe
MAC winnings have been sent out; still need to hear from Yankees 10/05 08:37:54 bb87 MotteTheHoople1
Congrats to Jennalys & Sombs for running 1/2 in Group D&P. 3rd place is still up for grabs,but 1 & 2 looks settled. I will E mail you guys and get your addys. IF i don't get the checks out by tomorrow(in event I don't get your home addy) DO NOT panic as I'm Carolina bound and will be back on 18th so latest I'll send the dough will be the 19th. Again congrats... 10/05 08:11:17 _44 Lunatic Fringe

Checking in for the playoffs 54,55,56.... Good Luck all 10/05 01:01:04 bt21 Parker`s Team 1
In a season full of mistakes and bad choices, I finally got a little love, and luck :) Thanks to Verlander's 22.6 pts in a start the Tigers were hoping he wouldn't make on Sunday, I finished 2nd in my BT league by 21.6 pts. Oddly enough, the LAST day of the season will be the only one that I was higher than 3rd place in that league. I guess it pays to not give up, in this case $420! 10/04 22:35:46 bb18 Farmer`s Daughter
Finished the regular season just 5.33 ahead of 2nd place team but he has Span and I have'nt got a Tiger or Twin anywhere--so watch Span hit a walk-off homer lol 10/04 20:50:27 mm13 BOYDS BOMBERS MS
I want to say congrats to all you guys that are going to make a nice profit. A very long year for me in points. Best roto year I have had in a very long time which was nice. Anyways I hope to rebound next year. Take care my friends. I need Miggy to go at least 1-3 to win my roto league Tuesday!!!!lol 10/04 20:48:45 bb6 Drewrys Bluff
also catcher--i know alot of us have told u a gazzillion times already but we all really appreciate the pitchers post--i look at the almost everyday even though im not a big poster--really apprecaite it 10/04 20:44:52 bb6 Drewrys Bluff
i had a 20 pt lead for 2nd right up till end today when bell blew the possible win with the sandoval homer-then he got the felix win--he had both--now im down 2 pts--fun till the end 10/04 20:42:57 bb6 Drewrys Bluff
catcher --wow--thats gonna make it interesting--u know both twins and tigers will throw everything at this game--i bet alot of leaques are like this--i had to double triple ck my team to see if u could scrounge up any twin tigers-lol 10/04 20:28:37 bt27 Catcher in the Rye
Drewry : I have a lead in one of my MS leagues by 0.66 points! ... I have Mauer & Nathan - he has Mauer, Rodney and Span! ... If Span gets even 1 point I have to get a Nathan save to hold onto the league title, or if Rodney gets the save I lose too. 10/04 19:40:43 bb6 Drewrys Bluff
helmet-this is almost funnier than yours--i need denard 3.5 ave per game span to outscore maur and miguel cabreara by 3 pts and or edwin jackson to get a scab win or save to get 2nd in one of my leagues--wonder how many other teams or leagues are like that-at least it makes the tues game worth watching 10/04 18:33:59 bb9 PBR
I know there is one game left technically but as for me the season is over. Can't say I am happy how this season has gone but I did do okay. See you guys next year...now officially on to football. Congrats to all the overall winners and the teams that got close. 10/04 18:25:31 bb84 Ernie Harwell
Well I guess I'll put all of my Twins and choke artists -- er, Tigers -- in my lineup and hope I can sneak a few more teams into the Top-10 (or hold down my spot in the Top-10). Congrats to everyone in the money. 10/04 18:22:05 bb107 Comfortably Numb Champions

Catcher - thanks 10/04 17:57:50 bb27 Catcher in the Rye
Summit - I should add that Cool Guys seems to have won the top 2 spots in BT as well. He has a 60 point lead. 10/04 17:53:18 bb27 Catcher in the Rye
Summit : the Felix win just showed up on Live stats. Cool Guys has 16,549 - Panama has 16,531. Both have Mauer, Cool has Inge and Panama has Nathan. A few players still left today too. 10/04 17:27:34 bb6 The Helmet Heads
Here's my chance to come back in my league. I'm going to put in my only Twin/Tiger, Liriano - And if he can score 200 points I can move up!!! 10/04 17:20:33 bb40 Summit Squad
a question for those with live stats, does Cool Guys need a Felix win? 10/04 16:53:05 bb60 MKSROOKIES
guy almost picked the MS bang team 10/04 16:52:31 bt1 The Goh Network
Bubba - That MS team is in my league and it looks like right now I'll just nip him - finish in 6th OA and he may finish around 10th. The guy is from Japan so I'm guessing there is a language barrier issue and he's a rookie who doesn't understand the rules. 10/04 16:52:07 bt1 The Goh Network

HOWEVER since there is another game he could use all 8 buys to make sure he has a full team of players playing in that game 10/04 16:50:07 bb60 MKSROOKIES
JUST proves my point about how this game is ALL 100% luck 10/04 16:39:29 bb40 Summit Squad
*heh* the free game says "Next Deadline at 12 Midnight CT, Apr 1 (179 days 7 hours 21 min )" 10/04 16:38:22 bb40 Summit Squad
Fanball - transactions are still locked out 10/04 16:24:42 bb87 MotteTheHoople1
That takes some kinda doing to edge Potsie out:) 10/04 16:23:22 bb87 MotteTheHoople1
Wow,,,that idiot left 8 buys and 2 callups on the table and was only 125 strokes away from 10 G's? Guess MKS ain't the dumbest player here:) 10/04 16:21:37 bb35 SIX PACK
CATCHER.... I hear ya. One can feel pretty helpless as your best efforts get eaten alive in Crap Shoot Week. No sense whinning about it, just the way the game plays out. Yesterday I went backwards in several coupon match ups, dems the breaks. I want to thank you and SUMMIT and others for your positive additions to the board. Hope all Posters have a great winter and Lord willing I'll see you next spring. 10/04 15:45:27 bb40 Summit Squad
Catcher - nope, no leftover buys in the top 10 since 2004. He can use it on the Tigers-Twins tiebreaker. 10/04 15:18:14 bb27 Catcher in the Rye
MS is so weird this year - the guy in 9th OA at the moment has not used a single buy & did not make a call-up. It's absolutely amazing he is in 9th place in MS. He has 8 buys left! I'm sure no team has EVER finished close to the top 10 in any game without using a buy. .... Summit - do you know if any top team has ever made top 10 without using ALL of their buys? ... Did Numbers Man have a buy left? 10/04 15:05:59 bb27 Catcher in the Rye
This team got run over by 2 trains today - Tryin Cobbs has me beat by 50 points now - he went from 78th OA at call-ups to 6th OA ... unreal. Then the 5 engine Ernie Harwell Express just ran me over .... lost 5 spots in a Verly split second. Now if Ernie passes my Fatman team I won't have any Budget team in the top 10 anymore .... dang ... what a day! Coulda used a JJ win. .... Nice job Ernie - you came on real strong at the end. 10/04 14:28:00 bb60 MKSROOKIES

GOOD afternoon Board. Getting ready to watch the Tiggers in about 15 minutes....talk about down to the wire....WHAT A GAME!!!! 10/04 11:20:57 bb40 Summit Squad
Guess we have to wait for the season to end to be allowed to make roster changes for a possible Tuesday tiebreaker. A tiebreaker won't make a diff for any of my teams, but things are so close at the top perhaps it could for them. 10/04 10:49:22 bb15 Zach`s Backyard Gang
Well, here it is the last day of the season and the Tigers are trying to find a way to not blow the division. If you would have told me back in April that on the last day of the season the Tigers and Twins would be tied and the Tigers had Verlander going and the Twins had Pavano going on 3 days rest I would have laughed and said the Tigers are in, after the last few weeks though I'm not so sure anymore. Hopefully the Tigers bats will wake up today and give Verly some support. 10/04 10:13:38 bt27 Catcher in the Rye

When you are done would one of DBS,Cool Guys,or Panama Red.....please turn off the lights. Thanks and congtars. 10/03 16:13:29 bb51 Mongrel MAC
My top three of all time in no particular order are Sleepy,Smurf,and Spitball. 10/03 16:10:50 bb51 Mongrel MAC
If you don't care about profiles,then what do your personal opinions mean,sort of redundant. 10/03 12:42:52 bb23 Vambo Marble Eye
I've been playing this game for a long time. The little "profile" thingy don't mean squat. PBR is the most consistant player. When Dick's on fire, he's the toughest to beat. Bubba puts in the time, and he's freakin' good. Those are my Top 3 (in no particular order). 10/03 11:27:17 bt27 Catcher in the Rye

Ernie : I noticed your 5-engine Motown Train has been cruising right up thru the ranks. It sure is weird to see your split teams with identical point totals. That would be hard to do even if you Tried to do it. I split up my identical teams and they all had varying point totals within a day or two. 10/03 10:45:36 bb84 Ernie Harwell
SS: Five days in, and I'm still tied with my split squads. Weird. 10/03 07:56:12 bb60 MKSROOKIES
I am about to have the greatest 2 days I have ever had in this game. Every single thing I need to happen over the course of the next 2 days to place me in the top 100 overall for the 2nd straight year will happen. MKSROOKIES will then be put into retirement hopefully forever and a whole new team will emerge in a fresh new way starting next baseball season GL to all those GOOD PEOPLE out there 10/02 23:56:39 bb60 MKSROOKIES
If you win the overall with the MAC team you get to keep the 5000 bucks 10/02 20:02:26 bb9 PBR
Don't think CC is going to get it done tonight...he looks terrible. 10/02 18:56:41 bb9 PBR
I think a MAC team should count as well. 10/02 18:55:14 bb9 PBR
IF CC Wins tonight he can get to 20 wins for the first time. I still think the CY Young will go to Greinke and Wainwright in the NL. 10/02 18:51:45 bb9 PBR
Summit: Since 2002 then I guess. I wasn't aware it has been that long. Cool. Plenty are better then I at this game then me though. 10/02 17:31:02 bb19 JENNALLYS
Man,,, I cant believe this team dropped 40 spots in 1 day this late! I am begging for the finish line! LOL 10/02 17:18:34 bb107 Comfortably Numb Champions
DICK---Don't know why you'd think a MAC team doesn't count, I think it's harder to play a MAC team even with a decent roster. No plan going in and usually have to spend some early buys to fix some probs and also play with some players you probably don't really like. With your own roster you have a plan for the season going in and picked the guys you liked. |
