• I expected to compete a little better than I am this year, and to be 900 points behind already is... disheartening, to say the least.
  I am looking for next year, top-tier prospects,vor for guys already on the roster for their big league teams.
  Looking to move Bregman, where I'll obviously eat salary, and Rooker, where it's unlikely I'd eat much salary.
  Holding onto Yamamoto, but would move most others (except Painter).

• I know it's early but if you have expensive players that you may not be keeping and they are still performing, I am more likely to pay more now than in July or August. Not sure how long I will be hanging out in the top half of the standings but I'd like to at least try to make it interesting.

• Thanks for your inspiring stories. I lost my best friend to cancer when I was 8. Years later my mother-in-law died from cancer in her early 60s.
  
  I work in biopharma, and had an opportunity to work on Kymriah, which is a CAR-T cell that has been revolutionary curing certain types of blood cancer. That therapy started with academic research, and now more than ever support for cancer research is needed.
  
  I also donated to the Nightbirde Foundation, and am thankful to be b

• Thanks Pedro. It was 16 years ago last month that we lost my dad, so I long ago made my peace with it. That being said, I'll stay in the fight against this bastard until no one has to fear for, care for, or mourn a loved one ever again.

• I’m really sorry about your loss lolly. It’s heartening to know that you have such a great attitude about it. The best thing we can do is keep fighting and supporting each other who are affected by this shitty disease.

• Thanks for sharing your journey - damn happy for you and your wife to be in such a good place now! You might think those of us whose loved ones didn't win their fight might be saddened, but precisely the opposite is true. It's incredibly uplifting when anyone beats this bastard, and I'll celebrate each and every win. Thanks also for the link - if each donation just helps one person win their fight, it's infinitely worth it.

• As one of the OG members of the group, I have donated to cancer research every year since the league began. In 2016, anal cancer took my mother at the age of 63.
  This year, however, in light of the world we reside, I am donating in a different direction. I just made my contribution to Kids In Need of Defense (KIND).
  Thank you for the reminder to contribute. I feel incredibly fortunate to be in this league after all these years.

• So 14 years ago today my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. During one sleepless night while she was undergoing treatment I discovered Ottoneu and this league from Dave Cameron. I was invited to join in 2012 and have loved Ottoneu since. Today we are celebrating her as she has been cancer free since 2012. In her honor and in honor of all the strong women who are fighting or have fought breast cancer, I donated to the Nightbirde Foundation.

• Reminder: the league is free, but it was founded with the spirit of charity in mind. Each year we (individually) donate to a charity that supports cancer research or supports those afflicted with the disease. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, let’s have em! Thanks.

• Still waiting for 3 owners to do the poll. We have 9/9 on March 16th so far. Also I forgot to take into consideration that there is the early series in Japan on March 18-19. So any dates after that are not ideal. Fingers crossed that these last few owners are ok with March 16.

I work in the biotechnology industry, and have been a part of multiple novel approaches to treating cancer, including Kymriah for certain blood cancers.

• A healthy and red-hot Cody Bellinger is available via trade for those going for it in 2024. Then again at his reasonable salary, a good piece for 2025 as well!

  Crimson Permanent Assurance ⚔️ on August 2, 2024 4:55 PM

  Not moving either of my pitchers unless I am totally and completely blown away with an offer.
