The Perfect Way To Play Fantasy Baseball

This one goes out to all the commissioners out there, who struggle every season with little tweaks here and little tweaks there trying to get things just right. Of course, that never seems to happen as there’s always (at least) one guy who complains about one flaw in the rules that (at least) one other [...]

Fantasy Baseball 2011: ESPN or YAHOO???

That’s right, I’m tackling the biggie here, which fantasy sports platform is better: Yahoo or ESPN. In the olden days (and by olden I mean like the early 2000′s) the decision of which platform to use was merely a question of familiarity. Often, it was the platform you first played on, that you continued to play on, with no real reason to switch. As the decade wore on, more and more new options became available that distinguished the two platforms. Today, I believe we’ve hit the apex of this battle, and there’s one clear winner.

Basketball League Settings

Some of you have asked me for a description of the league settings I use for fantasy basketball. Rather than try and describe them all in the discussion section, I figured it best to lay them out in a post. This way, I can offer some background into the thinking that went into the decisions. [...]

Three Keys to a Good League

Reader BGizzle contacted me mid week last week and asked me if I could link him to some posts I had written on vetoes. Of course I obliged, feeling honored to be ‘the source’ for anyone looking to prove a point to his fellow league mates. I went searching through the all the previous posts [...]

Commissioners Note: A Lesson Learned

Before I begin, big props out to reader Carlos Solano who bought me a nice DOS XX last night. That’s a couple of donations from you now and I really appreciate it. I appreciate them all, I honestly don’t make a dime off the ads on this site or anything (hopefully someday I will), I [...]

Draft Day has Arrived!

T Minus 6 hours to draft time and the nice thing about being a thoroughly prepared manager is that I can sit back in a local coffee shop, sip at some coffee and write a post. I just spent the last two hours going through every post I’ve ever written since the day we started [...]

GUEST POST: Mike From Minn. Has Something to Say!

—– Ahh,the ides of March….wait, what the hell does that mean? Well — it means fantasy baseball starts with 15 other teams in my league holding out the false hope of beating me. It means fantasy basketball winds down with me still crapping all over myself trying to figure out how to even compete (it wasn’t [...]

An Epic Weekend and A Work In Progress

All I can say is WOW. My 2010 live (in person) auction draft proved to be everything it was billed to be. I’ll give you a synopsis of events, list out my final roster at the bottom, and follow up tomorrow with photos and prices paid for players (I don’t have that info with me). [...]

The Big Weekend

And so it begins, the Big Weekend of my 2010 Baseball Draft. I’ve been fielding emails and phone calls from most everyone in the league regarding two topics: how excited they are, and how awesomly prepared they are with cheatsheets, spreadsheets, and fortune tellers. Everyone is going to have to bring all of their information pretty [...]
