• GOD DAMMIT YOU PUNKS STOP STEALING MY WAIVER WIRE GUYS

  Lake Gage Loons on May 16, 2025 10:05 AM

• Congrats to you two for making the cut! (Sorry, Carita.)

  Lake Gage Loons on May 15, 2025 7:53 AM

• wow, I hit 170 for OPL on the dot, as close as it gets! good luck in next round, Northern, and better luck next year, Carita!

  No Cigar on May 15, 2025 7:52 AM

• It's the final day of OPL Round 1, Carita and Cigar! Get your boppers in the lineup. I had a rare day with HRs yesterday (6) and moved up 20+ places and across the cut line. The teams in the 160 - 180 zone are all within 50 pts of the current cut line (170), so it'll be easy to rise or tumble around it. Good luck!

  Northern Lights on May 14, 2025 9:07 AM

• SIX TEAMS with 8-6 record! Don't think I've seen that before. Good to see your fightin No Cigars back in that top point spot.

  No Cigar on May 12, 2025 9:50 AM

• Anyone interested in C. Walker? Starting to bounce back and I could use some salary relief

  Carita Bombs on May 9, 2025 10:02 AM

• I'd need to jump around 30 spots in order to not get cut, so I doubt I'll make it. Best of luck to you & Carita! Next year, I'll need to remember that my first iteration of the team matters a helluva lot more in OPL than in our ottoneu league (I like to gradually build up my 'pen, rather than spend on it in the draft).

  No Cigar on May 6, 2025 9:00 AM

• Alright, Carita and Cigar! The three of us have 10 days until the OPL makes cuts. My squad has taken a couple weeks off hitting (if not R&R on the IL) and last week my pitchers (like many in the league) were REALLY not into their work. Even Skenes was a disaster. I have dropped below the cut line. Maybe Cigar and I can post 1000 pt weeks in our H2H (which to judge by history for me would be Cigar besting me by < 50 pts ... because close but no cigar). Good luck to all!

  Northern Lights on May 5, 2025 4:48 PM

• With Glasnow and now Burnes out, I had to go for it. One can never have too much pitching.

  Alameda Trick Cards on May 3, 2025 10:26 PM

• If Gonsolin returns to his former self, that's great value, Alameda, bravo, that's the kinda pickup that wins you leagues, goddamnit i shoulda gone ten

  No Cigar on May 3, 2025 7:53 PM

• Yeah and I’m pretty sure I didn’t make the playoffs that year lol. Ottoneu game 2001 Mariners.

  Lake Gage Loons on April 28, 2025 3:18 PM

• Okay. July 8 "week" in 2024 was extended, so Carita and Lake Gage: no soup for you! Carita and Cigar have some 1000+ pt weeks in the historical record, but I keep finding they were extended weeks.
  
  OH! Hahaha. June 6 - 12, 2022: Lake Gage posted 1120 pts.
  
  Maybe 1000-pt week should be a "Loony"!

  Northern Lights on April 28, 2025 1:55 PM

• A "Jhoan"? A fine idea. BUT: I need to see if/when it's been accomplished before...in a regular 7-day week. In random checks of H2H results from 2024 (via /tools/rivals/2024), I find that at least Ace Deuce, Carita, and Lake Gage all accomplished a 1000-pt week. However, Ace's happened in the extended Week 1 (so included March 20/21 games overseas); and Carita and Lake Gage did it week of July 8--which MIGHT have been a "long" week near All-Star. The July 8 seems solid though

  Northern Lights on April 28, 2025 1:44 PM

• How about we call it a Jhoan?

  Lake Gage Loons on April 28, 2025 9:00 AM

• I do not expect to experience this sort of week again, where nearly every decision I made maximized my point output. It was fun while it lasted, and I expect the bill for my devil's bargain to come due soon.
  
  The 1000 point word comment is making me think of the Washington's Dream SNL sketch.
  
  "It seems like we should have a word for a 1000 point week, sir."
  
  "And yet we won't."

  My Heart Will Jhoan on April 28, 2025 8:57 AM

• WELL DONE! It's really quite amazing how dominant the Jhoans have been without being gaudily dominant. For example, Ottoneu highly rewards power ... but his squad is ranked #11 in HRs! He's doing it through a lineup of crazy consistency on both sides, being ranked #2 in both P/G and P/IP. That's very satisfying ... if you run the team! :) Great job, Jhoans.
  
  There should be a term for a 1000 pt week

  Northern Lights on April 27, 2025 8:16 PM

• A HUGE round of applause for the Jhoans, who just hit quadruple figures. Crazy things are happening in that clubhouse.

  Lake Gage Loons on April 27, 2025 6:22 PM

• You were merely subject to the Iron Law of Ottoneu - you will always start the disaster and sit the miracle. We are all subject in our own time to the Iron Law. This is the way.

  Lake Gage Loons on April 27, 2025 8:23 AM

• Did I leave eugenio on my bench? Yes because ai am a moron

  Vestal Virgins on April 26, 2025 11:57 PM

• And great to see that you and Carita are in OPL too! Best of luck to you all!

  Northern Lights on March 31, 2025 4:13 PM

• Thank you, Cigar! It's a nice thing...though I suspect a fair drop in the standings is coming before the first cut line (which comes up way too quick). There's no way my pitching staff can continue the low BB and HR rates. And the snapshot roster system is a huge difficulty factor. But I like the OPL challenge!

  Northern Lights on March 31, 2025 4:02 PM

• whoa, Northern, top 75 in OPL, bravo

  No Cigar on March 31, 2025 12:44 PM

• It's up to 7 now I think 😭. At least it's only week 1.

  Mill City Maestros on March 29, 2025 2:36 PM

• I think I speak for all of us when I offer my condolences to our brother Mill City Maestros and, well, while we’re at it, Nestor Cortes and those 5 poor baseballs who probably were on their last day before retirement.

  Lake Gage Loons on March 29, 2025 1:58 PM

• TIMELINE REMINDER: MLB gets underway again on Thursday mid-afternoon! Be sure to check who is making opening day rosters, who is injured, and who you might want to pick up on waivers prior to the first wave of lineups locking. And don't forget to set your lineup! Good luck, friends.

  Northern Lights on March 24, 2025 9:51 AM

• i would have forgiven him if he had heads shoulders knees and toes. But alas, memories is all I will have henceforth

  Vestal Virgins on March 18, 2025 7:37 PM

• Dang, Vestal! You pushed Stanton until his elbows fell apart--and then you discarded him like expired meat. He's got a family to feed!

  Northern Lights on March 18, 2025 10:29 AM

• SEASON START REMINDER: The Cubs-Dodgers get underway at 6:10 am EASTERN tomorrow morning. Update your active lineup immediately if you have CHC & LAD players, if you want them to count. There's no retroactive adjustments.

  Northern Lights on March 17, 2025 9:50 PM

• REMINDER: Draft starts in a little less than 90 minutes! 7:30 pm EASTERN. See you there!

  Northern Lights on March 17, 2025 6:06 PM

• Hey y’all! Just a reminder that the draft is tonight at 7:30 PM EST. See you then!

  Lake Gage Loons on March 17, 2025 6:05 AM

• Sorry, in fantasy sports Guinness is considered a PED that can lead to OCB - overly cocky bidding. Urine tests will go out next week.

  Lake Gage Loons on March 11, 2025 11:06 AM

• Thank you, Loons! Maybe I'll come to the draft with a tin or two of Guinness for St. Paddy's. Cheers!

  Northern Lights on March 11, 2025 10:55 AM

• Draft is scheduled! See you all on Monday the 17th at 7:30 PM EST.

  Lake Gage Loons on March 11, 2025 10:39 AM

• Haven’t heard back from folks so trying again.
  
  To the three folks who either said that time did not work for them or didn’t vote: can you make 3/17 at 7:30 work? If not, could you do the same date at 8:30?

  Lake Gage Loons on March 6, 2025 11:00 AM

• Thanks guys!
  
  Alright we’ve got 11/12 votes in, and the leading vote getter is Monday March 17th, 7:30-9:30 with nine votes. For the people who said no to that, please see if you *can* make that time and if not, if a later 8:30 start would work.
  
  Otherwise we’re tentatively scheduled for Monday March 17th, 7:30-9:30.

  Lake Gage Loons on March 4, 2025 8:59 PM

• Voted! Thanks for setting that up.

  Mill City Maestros on March 4, 2025 5:21 PM

• Did my Doodle!

  Totally Stable Geniuses on March 4, 2025 5:13 PM

• Thanks to everyone who voted already! Please make sure you vote by Wednesday the 5th.

  Lake Gage Loons on March 3, 2025 2:54 PM

• thanks, bud! voted

  No Cigar on February 28, 2025 7:26 PM

• Doodle poll! https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dw2JK8gb
  
  I’m using the free version so I didn’t have enough time slots to include 8:30 options for all the dates. So if on those days the only time that works for you is 8:30, please let me know. Also, please do the poll, don’t email me or post your availability here. I will only be factoring in the preferences of people who voted.
  
  Please complete this by Wednesday the 5th. Thanks!

  Lake Gage Loons on February 28, 2025 6:43 PM

• Start thinking about windows in which you can do a draft, friends. It was a real challenge to get last year's 2-hour draft window scheduled. Season starts March 18. We will float a Doodle Poll soon. In the meantime, if you want to see how last year's draft went, here's the pick-by-pick report. Is it 100% accurate? Carita does not seem to appear on it. Were you not in the draft in 2024, Carita?

  Carita Bombs on February 3, 2025 10:39 PM

• Sent 20 to you via zelle, raghav, danke mucho sir

  No Cigar on February 3, 2025 2:17 PM

• I'm down for sidepool. Let me know ur venmo.

  Ace Deuce on February 2, 2025 8:05 PM

• I'd like to take this moment when everyone is excited for the start of the baseball season to check in on interest for our usual sidepool. As always, I hope that we all participate, but no pressure. If you were in it last year, and want out, let me know, and if you were not in, and would like to join this year, let me know as well. To refresh, $20, and payouts are decided based on the number of managers in (typically top 1-3 finishers if all managers are in, and top 1-2 otherwise)
