BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Gents, I appreciate the birthday wishes. As I approach the twilight of my life and turn the ripe old age of 22, I'm really able to appreciate the important things in life. I've said this before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but it's a real treat playing fantasy ball with you all. This league is awesome, you are all awesome, and I hope we can keep the 20 of us together for a long time. As Lizzie McGuire once said, "you rock, don't ever change". -Min 1. Holy s*** I feel old. 2. Who the hell is Lizzie McGuire?
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Just realizing we don't even have a consolation bracket. I'd like to vote for this next year to be put in. Honestly in a league like this I think most would take pride in winning a consolation.

Honestly in a league like this I think most would take pride in winning a consolation. Could have sworn we had one in previous years, no? I wouldn't really know, since I've never missed the playoffs.
TRM Verified Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Could have sworn we had one in previous years, no? I wouldn't really know, since I've never missed the playoffs. You can't do it with an 8 team playoff, I believe.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 You can't do it with an 8 team playoff, I believe. Ah, well then f*** 'em.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yahoo, please: - Option for 2 week final - Consolation bracket for losers
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 2. Who the hell is Lizzie McGuire? She married an Ottawa Senator. Min writes this stuff, but he's the oldest 22 year old ever.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I turn 30 next month and I'd like a DDL Championship, a World Series run, and a new prime minister. That's it, not asking for much.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yahoo, please: - Option for 2 week final - Consolation bracket for losers There are so many choices out there, they should be listening a little more to what people want. Even if they have a pay option which gives you more customizing would be smart for them right now.

I'm pretty sure about 98% of Yahoo leagues are 12 team 5x5 redrafts with casual baseball fans who don't give a s*** about this kinda stuff.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yahoo, please: - Option for 2 week final - Consolation bracket for losers The ability to have a minor league roster for keeper leagues, and the league staying open during the offseason would be nice too.
TRM Verified Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 She married an Ottawa Senator. Min writes this stuff, but he's the oldest 22 year old ever. Hillary Duff is her real name. Lizzie McGuire was her breakout role, a Disney channel show. Ha, what do you mean by that?!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 The ability to have a minor league roster for keeper leagues, and the league staying open during the offseason would be nice too. Yeah, a more robust dynasty league option would be nice. Farm rosters, trading picks, offseason transactions, all the crap we have to do by hand.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yahoo, please: - Option for 2 week final - Consolation bracket for losers I don't think a consolation bracket would make a good idea. The #16 ranked team could go from having a lottery draft pick to drafting 12th overall. I feel like you'd have teams just trying to lose their matchups. Because really, what's to get excited over about finishing 9th? If the picks were decided on before the outcome of the playoffs I could see this making sense though.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah, a more robust dynasty league option would be nice. Farm rosters, trading picks, offseason transactions, all the crap we have to do by hand. So what I'm hearing is that you love fantrax and want to move the DDL there?

Doesn't have to affect draft picks.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 So what I'm hearing is that you love fantrax and want to move the DDL there? Fantrax is just hideous from every angle. DDL will never move off Yahoo, it's written in our Charter.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Doesn't have to affect draft picks. Then it would be a good idea.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Fantrax is just hideous from every angle. DDL will never move off Yahoo, it's written in our Charter. Does anyone actually like Fantrax?
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Fantrax is just hideous from every angle. DDL will never move off Yahoo, it's written in our Charter. I hope this is true. Yahoo is gorgeous.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Does anyone actually like Fantrax? I like what they offer. The interface is hideous though.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I like what they offer. The interface is hideous though. I know some girls like that.
TRM Verified Member Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Doesn't have to affect draft picks. Hurl, what do you mean by your writes this stuff, oldest 22 year old ever comment
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Does anyone actually like Fantrax? I like what they offer...but there are better formats out there that offer the same things. CBS Sports pro (pay) offers similar features and is slightly better.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Hurl, what do you mean by your writes this stuff, oldest 22 year old ever comment I prefer to leave this, as it appears to have you thinking.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Hate to break it to you, but your team is old as s*** too and riddled with position eligibility problems next year, as I'm sure you're well aware. Just an FYI to all players: if you are about to make a SS trade with NJH...I will better his deal.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I could trade Miller or Gyorko for a reasonably sexy OF, SP, or prospect.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I could trade Miller or Gyorko for a reasonably sexy OF, SP, or prospect. Do you find Southern European men with .500 Slugging sexy?
