Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball -- Sign Up Today!

Knee-deep in the giddy thrill of Pitchers and Catchers (and now most position players) reporting, the time to sign up for Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball is NOW! Before the relative calm of a nearly controversy-free Phillies spring training takes hold and you start saying "Can it be April now?"

When it comes to fantasy sports, I have always applied a very Conan-the-Barbarian-esque approach, which makes it difficult to participate in leagues with friends...


This kind of winner-take-all attitude is required to succeed in the cut-throat world of Fantasy Sports. Several years ago, when I adopted pacifism as my Total Life Steeze, I had to turn my back on that world. But Yahoo! did and still provides the best fantasy sports services, in my opinion. Hands down.

Do we have a dedicated TGP league?

Fare thee well, JM. In my book, you were the Greatest.

Make sure I stay signed up, pleaze.

What did the top men come up with for commissioners?

By which I mean no, not yet. We’ll likely need at least one or two additional commissioners, however.

What does the list look like? Haven’t been on that thread in a while.

I haven’t checked it in a while either, but you’re definitely on the list that I compiled back then. It’s a lot of folks, though with the proliferation of leagues this time of year, it’s not totally clear that everyone will still be interested.

A list eh?

It does sound sinister.

I promise it’s not this or this.

HAVE YOU NO DECENCY SIR?

P.S. Slightly unrelated, but I find myself crying myself to sleep every night in my Oswalt shersey. Something may be wrong.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem.

by Trev223 on Feb 22, 2012 10:30 PM EST up reply actions  

In all seriousness, I was just kind of curious how many people were ostensibly interested and figured it might be helpful to codify the intense activity of the thread somehow. It’s nothing even approaching official.

by Trev223 on Feb 21, 2012 11:16 PM EST up reply actions  

I’m still interested

Just talkin about practice

Personally I choose to subscribe to this alternate theory of what’s best in life (probably NSFW).

Speaking of Yahoo, Raul is a trending topic on there right now..

Sid Bream was out, Jeremy Giambi was safe, Pete Rose should be in the Hall, Walter O'Malley shouldn't, and the Expos should be in Montreal.

by Veni Vidi Vici on Feb 22, 2012 2:10 AM EST reply actions  

I’m in. Also, I have traveled to the future and guarantee myself a 7th place finish. #catstradamus

I assume you’ll be drafting Ibanez and following the Raul Rule on when to play him.

Hear ye hear ye

An organizational post detailing the 2012 TGP Fantasy Base Ba’al Great Leap Phorward will come on Friday, timed for when position players report to camp.

Trev223, Phrozen and I have been kicking the statistical tires after the discussion on the first thread as well as considering the comments on how we might include more interested players given how this blog is growing.

Dannijd, I remember you had some interest in helping out. Anyone else interested in helping run a league pls email me separately (clickit my name on the bottom of the page) and let me know if there are times of the season that may be better or worse for you.

Hey guys. Would anyone be able to join? I usually do a league with my friends and I’m looking for some better competition. L

looking for some better competition

I don’t believe we can make any guarantees about that. It will be funnerer.

by Cormican on Feb 22, 2012 2:06 PM EST up reply actions  

OT, but Ryan Howard’s about to address his situation on CSN and the MLB network.

Sid Bream was out, Jeremy Giambi was safe, Pete Rose should be in the Hall, Walter O'Malley shouldn't, and the Expos should be in Montreal.

by Veni Vidi Vici on Feb 22, 2012 1:32 PM EST reply actions  

pretty much more of the same. He’s been taking BP. Probably won’t play in any ST games, still not expected back until May

I’m up for this. Along with the several other leagues I usually wind up in.
