Yeah that Clowns offense is going to be pretty tough to beat. We're going to have to hope his pitching is terrible.
-
Oh yeah and Soto - I’ve heard of that guy too.

Looks like you should worry about the Clowns too - yelich trout tatis acuna . Wow

I’m with you guys. Baseball only. I’m focused on preventing Winnetka from a repeat title 😉

It’s a fantasy baseball league, let’s keep it that way so we don’t have to find new owner every month. I think Niv is already well aware with what has been said on this message board the last few months. Just keep it baseball that’s all that’s asked.

Damn, here we go. Can everybody drop it and play the game? Change the team name back. You know it's the right thing to do. Spa I know you are mad but let's drop it. Peace Frog I know you are upset but how about the name goes back and nobody ever mentions it again? All of us paid our fee, let's not ruin it for the rest of us.

My feelings are ouchy about the “Assume 100% Immunity Clowns”. It is a vicious and insensitive attack on me, and it makes light of the terrible pandemic. I have lost loved ones to the covid and I can’t be expected to see this attack continue. I’m filing a complaint with Niv.

Welcome to the league! Very glad we will be able to still have our Auction tomorrow!
-
Added some more decent names to the draft pool. Bet I could have traded a few of them had I been here before the deadline but oh well— should be fun tomorrow with several nice pieces available to draft and lots of teams with money!
-
Cool, cool. Looking forward to it!

Hello all. Look forward to a great season. See you at the draft tomorrow!
-
We’ll be fine. I think an owner called Solid Gold will take it over. He is a very experienced ottoneu player and would be a great addition.
-
So, we still on for Sunday auction, or we punting until we can fill the vacant owner spot?

three weeks and attacks the longest tenured owner of this league. As far as I'm concerned, Spa City is the foundation of this league. I also agree with Blue Blaze regarding DB. He was grating on my nerves before this spat. I personally have no problem with people expressing their opinions on anything on this board. But if the majority of the league would like to ban political or any other speech that is not related to baseball then I'll enforce it. I am a proponent of free speech and

I think nowadays people get triggered too quickly. Tolerance seems doesn't seem to exist anymore. Some of us live in cities where it is difficult to socialize with anybody. Spa City was simply letting some frustrations out that should have been relatively harmless. They certainly were not intended to be personal. Yet two owners took his comments personally and then attacked Spa City. As far as I'm concerned the league is better off without DB. DB has been in the league for a little over

I just don't understand why the board needs to be used for anything other than baseball related stuff. If I wanted your opinions on stuff, I'd follow you on social media. Clearly what has been put on the board is effecting the league because we've lost multiple people due to it, so why not just cut it out? Just like it should be easy for people to ignore what is posted on here, it should be just as easy for people to not post anything that doesn't have to do with baseball.

If people quit because of that stuff, we're better without them. Say anything you want on the board. Who cares?
-
The impact of what is on the board may be more significant when it comes from the league's commissioner. Speaking of which, I thought Spa stepped down from that role after the last time someone quit over a dispute with him.

Nobody will miss that clown. Register a team, pay your dues, then disappear because of something someone wrote on a message board? How about if you really just want to play, try ignoring comments instead of getting emotional? Everybody is a slave to their emotions now. Maybe try the old fashioned stiff upper lip.
-
How many more times is this going to happen? Just ridiculous.

Come on guys... I just want to play fantasy baseball and have a group of people I can talk to about baseball. I feel like that shouldn't be too much to ask for in a fantasy baseball league.
-
Yeah, I'm out. Vacate my team, don't even care that I paid my dues.
Good luck everyone.
-
This will be a fun year playing an online game with strangers who hate each other.
-
I hope it bothers you assholes that I think a different thing than you do about COVID and the useless vaccine.
-
Fuck you Peace Frog.

So when you said a few months ago, "I’m having a hard time staying invested in Fangraphs since it became a socialist media outlet, and in MLB since they went full BLM Marxist" that wasn't political? Hopefully hypocrisy isn't genetic.

And the previous president made the pandemic about politics, so yes bringing it up unprompted with denial is “politics”
-
“It sounds like it dosent do a lot” - so those vaccines you received as a child didn’t do anything? Are you worried about getting polio anymore? Tetanus? Whooping cough? Measles? Mumps? Rubella? Meningitis? Vaccines work, and people that attack science and facts are the problem.
-
If “people like me are the problem” there are lots of problems. I have a good job, raise 3 great kids (straight A students, great athletes), pay my (extremely high) taxes, and I served my country. I really don’t think I’m a problem - let alone “the problem”. And I didn’t mention politics. I don’t get involved in politics.
-
Politics? I could not care less about politics. All I meant was that the information I got about my vaccine was so much less comforting than I hoped. It sounds like it doesn’t do an awful lot.
-
People like you are the problem. You “triggered this snowflake”.
Thanks for bringing politics unprompted into a fantasy baseball league. Great job.
-
I’m sorry to hear that Detroit, I have had family members battle it as well. I am with you, and I don’t work in healthcare but to have people say things like this incredibly sad and concerning.

They fully expect transmission to stop as more and more people get vaccinated.
Don’t misinterpret “uncertainties” as absolutes because of a lack of understanding how clinical trials work.
-
Keep in mind, long term research endpoints are still being resolved. Actual endpoint will be established once enough follow up time has passed. Still, I don’t know where you are getting your information from.
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine has an efficacy rate of 95%. This means that about 95% of people who get the vaccine are protected from an infection with the COVID-19 virus.
-
I’m trying to restrain myself.
This is incredibly insulting to my work in healthcare, my wife’s work I health care, and her grandmother that recently passed from COVID.
-
That is literally how every other vaccine works hahahaha. Look at shots like the flu, you are supposed to get that every year, and there is still a chance you can get the flu after you get the shot. You really thought the shot is going to make you 100% immune???

I got my 2nd vaccine dose last week. It turns out the “vaccine” does not immunize, it merely reduces symptoms if you get the virus. Also, according to the literature they gave me, I probably need an annual booster. And apparently I still need to wear a face thing because somehow even after the vaccine I am still able to get the virus, and still able to transmit the virus... Not sure why I bothered to get the “vaccine” at all.
-
Agreed. I think that Kiké Hernández will quickly become a favorite as well.
-
Devers and Boegarts must be the fan favorites for Red Sox Nation now. Great players, no drama.
-
It is time for me to pick a new favorite player on the Red Sox... Benintendi has been my favorite player since 2016, that one hurt!

Welcome to the league to the new owner of Clean Slate (or whatever the new team name might be)! It’s great to have the league full again heading in to the draft.
-
I abandoned “Clean Slate” and posted the available team in the Community Forum.
-
And is Keston Hiura now a 1B or (assuming it is a thing) a DH? Brewers signed Wong to a 2 year deal, and at a dollar amount that definitely makes him a starter. They sure didn’t give Hiura much leeway on his shaky glove.
-
As a real-world baseball issue, it seems nuts that they still don’t make a decision about the DH in the NL. That does not seem like it should be tied to other labor dispute ls. But who knows anymore? I doubt the 2 sides could agree on what day of the week it is.
-
I hope we don’t lose Clean Slate, but since he has not logged in for a week, did not renew his team on-time, and has not responded to emails, it looks like he opted out. If we don’t hear from him tomorrow, I’ll abandon the team and post an ad for a new owner. I agree, we need all 12 teams for the draft.

Ageed.
