• I'm going to go ahead and grab a screenshot of the standings as this will likely be the last time I'm in first place this year. 🤣

  Fighting Mongooses on March 20, 2025 11:53 AM

• I might be late, and I’ll probably be doing dishes at the start, but hope I can make it.

  Orange and Black on February 13, 2025 12:38 AM

• works for me.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on February 6, 2025 6:07 PM

• That will work for me.

  Fighting Mongooses on February 5, 2025 9:32 AM

• ready for takeoff

  Little Fires Everywhere on February 4, 2025 4:33 PM

• Over half of the league has responded and it seems that Sundays are the best nights for people and that we could get started at 8:00 ET. I propose Feb. 16. Please let me know if there is no way you can make that date work.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 4, 2025 3:33 PM

• Forgetting that other time zones exist, I failed to specify that times in the survey are Eastern time zone. Sorry about that. But let's nail down a date first; we can figure out the exact time after (regardless of date, it will be at night, beginning no earlier than 7 ET; later if West coasters or non-US managers require).

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 4, 2025 9:59 AM

• Happy to report that the league is now full. Next step is to set an auction date. I have set up an availability poll here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MH7MJJD. Please try to be as flexible as possible, as it is usually very difficult to find a time that works for all 12 managers. (Link edited.)

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 4, 2025 6:08 AM

• Thanks everyone. I'm sorry about missing the extend date. I've re-uppped and legalized and look forward to improving on my franchise best 9th place in 2025.

  Fighting Mongooses on February 2, 2025 7:21 PM

• Good job. Thanks.

  Little Fires Everywhere on February 2, 2025 9:45 AM

• I have given Fighting Mongooses a round of penalty-free cuts since they let slip the deadline to make cuts and renew. I hope there will be no objections. These confines are friendly after all. Welcome back Mongooses, and belated welcome to the new managers of Chicago Dogs and LFE! Just waiting on one more team to renew.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 2, 2025 9:43 AM

• Hi all, we are waiting on three teams to renew. I've reached out to them to try to find out whether we need replacement managers and will start the process of scheduling an auction once the league is full.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 1, 2025 9:21 AM

• Thanks for the welcome! I've updated my trade list and I'm hoping to take a look at rosters today. 👍

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on January 15, 2025 9:11 AM

• welcome aboard

  Little Fires Everywhere on January 14, 2025 10:39 PM

• Welcome!

  Dascinet on January 14, 2025 10:37 PM

• Hello all...My name is Terry and I've claimed the Ottawa Expos team. I'm looking forward to get things going and having some fun.

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on January 14, 2025 10:26 PM

• Sorry all, I missed Ottawa’s earlier message somehow. Team is now available on Claim Teams - if you know anyone who might be interested then please point them there.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on January 13, 2025 7:45 PM

• Hey all just want to reach out again to see if there can be a replacement manager for my squad. I know some teams looking to make deals so want to get it done before cut deadline so new manager has time to make deals/cuts. Cheers!

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on January 13, 2025 7:26 PM

• Reminder to everyone to get in their arbitration allotments -- deadline is in ten days, on 11/14

  Dascinet on November 4, 2024 12:07 PM

• I will also respectfully be bowing out of this year - love the energy and competitiveness of this league though, wishing you all the best

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on October 23, 2024 3:43 PM

• Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

  Little Fires Everywhere on October 19, 2024 5:15 PM

• Happy Draft Day Everyone!

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on February 26, 2024 7:49 AM

• Oops, missed giving my input. I’ll try to make it work. Have a good season, everyone!

  Orange and Black on February 24, 2024 2:40 PM

• Just to let you know that I won't be drafting at Feb 26 auction, no money no candy, good draft to you all

  Little Fires Everywhere on February 19, 2024 3:11 PM

• Thanks everyone for letting us know your availability. The auction is set for Monday 2/26, 8:30p Eastern. We couldn't find a time that works for everyone but we did the best we could. We'd be happy to help find a proxy for any team that can't make that date.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 13, 2024 10:49 AM

• Please select all *available* times on the Google Forms poll, not just preferred times. We will make a greater effort to accommodate teams who have made themselves available on more days.

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 9, 2024 4:57 AM

• Looks like we are full! Welcome Expos and new manager of Who’s on First. There is no rush to make cuts (First gets one round with no penalty) but I think it would be a good idea to schedule the auction before people get booked. I will send out a poll shortly. Looking forward to kicking the season off!

  Ere the Bat Hath Flown 🪶 on February 8, 2024 1:17 PM

• Awesome, welcome aboard!

  Zombie Runners 🧟 on February 7, 2024 9:19 PM

• Hey all! Just joined the league. Looking forward to trades & some good ball. Cheers

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on February 7, 2024 8:53 PM

• Thanks just joined and looking forward to shakin and bakin!

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on December 28, 2023 12:29 PM

• Welcome to the league McFly!

  Zombie Runners 🧟 on December 28, 2023 12:06 PM

• Still looking for someone to take over being commissioner. Anybody interested?

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on November 29, 2023 2:35 PM

• Arbitration ends November 14th. Still need 5 to complete theirs. Just a friendly reminder.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on November 13, 2023 5:28 PM

• Really glad to hear that your recovery is going well.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on November 7, 2023 9:03 PM

• Welcome Back so to speak and good to hear your recovery is going well

  Gravity's Rainbow on November 7, 2023 7:30 AM

• My arb is done and you haven't abandoned my team yet, so I still can change my mind I guess and I will keep it, I like some of these guys. I'm recuperating well from my health problems

  Little Fires Everywhere on November 7, 2023 12:17 AM

• Hey all - just a heads-up for everyone. Friendly Confines league is in need of a new commissioner. Your current commissioner has just recently retired from work and is going to explore other interests he couldn't enjoy while working. So I will be dropping out of the league. Let me know asap if you would like to be the next commissioner. I will transfer commissionership to the first one who accepts. Thanks to all and good luck next season.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on November 3, 2023 12:59 PM

• Please abandon this team. I was victim of a stroke on Sep 15, so I will have to quit my part time job losing my Ottoneu spending money, anyway don't have the same energy to manage so many leagues, will be quiting many leagues. Sorry to let you down guys, thanks.

  Little Fires Everywhere on October 22, 2023 12:41 PM

• OMG...I'm sitting here going from team to team, link to link trying to figure out where the Arbitration was....and then I noticed I wasn't logged into the site. #facepalm

  Fighting Mongooses on October 18, 2023 3:29 PM

• Just a heads-up for everyone. Arbitration is open, and it closes on November 14th. So get those dollars spent. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on October 17, 2023 12:50 PM

• Congratulations to Zombie Runners for a well played season and a first place finish. Also, thanks to all managers for being active all season long. Well played by all.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on October 2, 2023 10:20 AM

• Managed to go from last place to 2nd. Guess I'll call that rebuild a success. No need to play 161 more games. ;)

  Jeter's Gift Bags on March 31, 2023 2:21 PM

• Just a reminder that we're drafting tomorrow at 3:00 pm eastern/2:00 pm central. I've heard back from everybody, so we should have a full draft room. Don't forget to change your clocks tonight (if you live in an area that changes them)

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on March 11, 2023 2:09 PM

• Hey, First Losers, thanks for confirming. However, you are one of the 11 that I knew would be at the draft. Still waiting to hear from Who's On First. I'll keep reaching out to him. Here's hoping he can make it.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on March 7, 2023 11:23 PM

• Sunday the 12th works good for me..

  CHICAGO🌭DOGS on March 7, 2023 7:22 PM

• Friendly Confines auction draft will be on Sunday, March 12th at 3:00 pm eastern/2:00 pm central. Eleven of our twelve managers are in agreement. Haven't heard back from our 12th manager yet. I will continue to reach out to him. Here's hoping for a full house on draft day.

  Shonash Ravine 🚂 on March 7, 2023 8:27 AM

• I don’t think there’s such a thing as a good day/time for me. I’ll make it work though. Now I just need to fill my other league…

  Orange and Black on March 5, 2023 6:50 AM

• Yep I'm good for the 12th at 2pm Central

  Fighting Mongooses on March 2, 2023 9:41 PM

• 12th is good for me

  Tesla Braves on March 2, 2023 9:35 AM

• Nah, forget what I said, most of my drafts, I have one or two spots to fill so I could manage this draft on the 12 if you want to put it there especially in the afternoon
