• Great draft everyone. I was surprised how much money was left on the table, but that will just make in-season free agency more interesting. IMPORTANT - Please everyone reset your trade blocks. Everyone's needs have changed so let's have our blocks reflect that.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 26, 2025 9:47 AM

• Bovine, Bauer, and Cat please come to our draft. Thanks.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 25, 2025 7:56 PM

• 10 minute warning - please come to the draft room. Thanks.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 25, 2025 7:50 PM

• 20 minute warning.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 25, 2025 7:41 PM

• Sounds good. I just wanted to be clear. I have the most spots to I'll be in it till the end!

  Our Planet Automotive on February 25, 2025 1:18 PM

• Good conversion with valid points. I personally believe that due to the pace of an auction and life happening around drafters on draft night everyone misses a nomination from time to time. If it happens more than once then I may have to do something. I also believe in the honor system when it comes to this, and since this is a good, stable group of managers (many of whom I personally know) I do not believe it will be a problem. So just to make it crystal clear – everyone is expected to nominate!

  Ghost in the Machine on February 25, 2025 1:17 PM

• I’m down for a missed nom rule, If ghost wants to do it. this isn’t surprise league so I’m not too hung up on it, but it can be a strategy.

  Epic Poser Volts on February 25, 2025 11:54 AM

• I have always believed in the 3 missed noms and you are done rule unless the owner lets the league know they are having connections issues, which does happen. Every commish runs the draft differently so it will be up to Ghost to decide how the draft is operated tonight.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 25, 2025 11:20 AM

• Looking forward to drafting tonight! One question - I don't remember if it was this league, but sometimes people miss their turn to start an Auction, and we've said that if you do that once or twice you get booted. Do we want to institute anything like that? It's annoying when it happens because it slows things down, and it can be an advantage later if you're trying to let other teams fill their roster before you nominate someone you want. Thoughts?

  Our Planet Automotive on February 25, 2025 10:23 AM

• The Gentlemanly Pursuits draft is Tuesday night at 8:00 pm. Please try to be early so that no one is late, plus it gives time to set up your queues. I have no money so I'll be basically observing (impatiently) the proceedings. But still, draft day is awesome and it's finally here - so enjoy the draft and I will "see" you all on Tuesday.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 24, 2025 1:21 PM

• One week from the draft. Just a friendly reminder or for those that are new that the draft system does not recognize a players being "out" or on the 60IL. If you have one of those players or draft one of those players you will not get the extra roster spot(s) during the draft. The draft system allows for 40 players on your roster regardless of status and you will need the cap space for all 40 spots.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 19, 2025 12:09 AM

• I was going to make it official today - THE DRAFT IS 2/25 AT 8PM EST.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 5, 2025 12:44 PM

• Does the draft data NOT work for anyone? Can I lock it in on my calendar?

  Our Planet Automotive on February 5, 2025 11:53 AM

• Ok Dan...

  Kaos on February 4, 2025 3:30 PM

• Free Trevor Bauer reached out to me to let me know that only two of his cuts went through on Friday night. Not sure what happened. He sent me his full cut list and have removed the rest of the dead weight from his team. Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 4, 2025 1:25 PM

• That date will be fine with me. 8:00 pm is good.

  Kaos on February 3, 2025 1:14 PM

• Tuesday 2/25 at 8 (EST right?) works for me.

  Our Planet Automotive on February 3, 2025 11:17 AM

• Date’s good for me.

  Manitoba Bluegrass on February 2, 2025 11:59 PM

• I'm good with date as long as time changes to 8pm.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 2, 2025 11:44 PM

• Let's talk draft date. I put 2/25 at 7pm as a place holder since it was our draft date last year. But before we start going back and forth on date options, does this date work for people? It's a Tuesday night and I would move it to 8:00 pm. Please let me know if this dates presents a problem. If so, we'll figure it out from there.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 2, 2025 8:22 PM

• Cut deadline is Friday at 11:59 pm.

  Ghost in the Machine on January 30, 2025 8:27 PM

• League fees are due by Friday. Most everyone has already paid so let’s get it done. Friday is also Final Cut Day. It’s time to lop off your spare players. We’ll set a draft date soon, likely to be some time in late February.

  Ghost in the Machine on January 25, 2025 8:53 PM

• Happy Holidays to my fellow owners.

  Mississippi Riversharks on December 25, 2024 10:07 AM

• R.I.P Ricky

  Mississippi Riversharks on December 21, 2024 6:18 PM

• I’ll let you think he’s a White Sox fan. Offer him up all those awesome ChiSox players!

  Ghost in the Machine on December 8, 2024 9:03 PM

• Which Sox's?

  Mississippi Riversharks on December 8, 2024 8:48 PM

• A little delayed here - welcome to the league Free Trevor Bauer. Free Trevor is a friend of mine who I asked to join and am really glad he agreed. He knows his stuff and is a Sox fan, so he’s well equipped to handle the losing involved with a rebuild. ;) Now that the league is full and winter meetings are here I’m starting to get psyched about the 2025 season. Let’s go!

  Ghost in the Machine on December 8, 2024 8:46 PM

• Welcome to the league Free Trevor.

  Mississippi Riversharks on December 6, 2024 5:59 PM

• It's trading season!! Everyone please update your trading blocks to reflect your off-season goals. Also, we are still down an owner. Please ask your friends, it might be harder than usual to replace this one because Big Papi flooded the available team market with over 200 teams that he cut! He had over 250 teams and apparently decided that was a bit too many. Go figure...

  Ghost in the Machine on November 19, 2024 9:39 AM

• AKA Big Papi will be leaving the league. If anyone has someone you want to join the league just let me know. I’ll hold off releasing the team into the wild for a few days

  Ghost in the Machine on November 10, 2024 1:18 PM

• Great season everyone. Congrats Holly Jolly Elves on your utter domination this year. Arbitration begins on October 15th so get ready to jack up everyone's contracts! Also, if you are planning on leaving the league please let me know ASAP so I can replace you before trading season begins.

  Ghost in the Machine on October 11, 2024 1:08 PM

• Nice job Holly.

  Mississippi Riversharks on October 2, 2024 7:30 PM

• Jolly congratulations to the Holly Jolly Elves. And a good try by the Cat Hoarders, who scored 98.5 points and were still 6.5 points behind.

  Manitoba Bluegrass on September 30, 2024 9:33 PM

• Awesome season HJE! Very fun pennant chase.

  Pyromanic Cat Hoarders on September 30, 2024 12:42 PM

• Just an FYI for the league. This is in the community section and comes from Niv. Because the Mets/Braves will have a doubleheader on Monday, the season will be extended for those games and the stats will count. This will also extend the official end of season to Monday at 11:59pm EST. This means you can still start an auction on Saturday before 11:59pm EST and it will process. Any auctions started after that will not have enough time for the 48hr waiver wire period. Thanks.

  Mississippi Riversharks on September 25, 2024 7:58 PM

• Final night for trades.

  Mississippi Riversharks on August 31, 2024 5:38 PM

• Only a few days left to make trades before the deadline.

  Mississippi Riversharks on August 28, 2024 5:15 PM

• I got drilled out of the OPL tournament in the first round. I guess I needed more random pitchers (it's bestball essentially) and less minor leaguers. Oh well.

  Ghost in the Machine on May 21, 2024 12:26 PM

• Happy 2024 Opening Day!

  Mississippi Riversharks on March 28, 2024 10:53 AM

• 30 minutes until the draft!!!

  Ghost in the Machine on February 25, 2024 7:31 PM

• REMINDER: Draft is tonight (2/25) at 8:00 PM EST. Try to have your players of interest in your queue so that you are ready to nominate on your turn. For planning sake these drafts take around 2 hours. Good luck and see you tonight!

  Ghost in the Machine on February 25, 2024 12:28 PM

• It's Draft DAY!!!

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 25, 2024 10:54 AM

• Just a friendly reminder to the other owners that the draft system will only let you draft a roster up to 40 players. The draft system doesn't recognize if a player is on the 60IL and doesn't open a roster spot in the draft. If you have player(s) that have already been placed on the 60IL you will NOT be able to draft the fill ins at the auction. You will have to wait until the draft is done and the waiver wire opens up.

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 17, 2024 5:08 PM

• Yep, Eastern Standard Time.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 16, 2024 12:17 PM

• Sure, I can do 8:00 pm, we are talking eastern standard time, correct?

  Kaos on February 16, 2024 11:46 AM

• Would anyone have a problem with pushing the draft to 8pm? We have a manager with a last-second scheduling conflict. If I don't hear any objections I'll change the time tomorrow.

  Ghost in the Machine on February 16, 2024 11:30 AM

• Right now only date I have set is March 17th. Good any time on weekends, after 7:30pm EST on weekdays (I'm on CST and need time to get home from work).

  Mississippi Riversharks on February 2, 2024 5:10 PM

• Sorry, I meant to say Monday would have to be later, after 8:30 PM EST.

  Our Planet Automotive on February 2, 2024 3:52 PM

• Sunday nights are generally open for me. If we do Monday night it would have to be earlier. I have to catch for my daughter at pitching lessons till 8 EST and wouldn't be ready till 8:30 EST. Sorry but it is so hard find slots with a good pitching coach.

  Our Planet Automotive on February 2, 2024 3:49 PM

• The only Sunday night that might be an issue for me is the 18th. So far all of the Monday evenings are open for me.
