He was on Deadspin lambasting the Yankees for joining A-Rod at his presser.

I lol'd.

What does the "Plus" league get you? I don't see the breakdown on their site.

Just instant stats, scouting reports and a draft kit? What is the "more"? A regulated waiver wire? Wow, that's a great picture of Mark Teixeira.

count me in

There was a problem
The league you are trying to join has been upgraded to a PLUS league. Please check with the commissioner for more information on the new league. (Error #321)
That league is not available. (Error #450)

Make your selection of "join a league" from the gold-hued Plus League options.

so we are doing a plus league? do you realize how much that costs?

Try and keep up.

No wife, no kids, no student-loans; two jobs, paid cash for my trip to Alaska (don't want anymore credit-card debt)... I have the means.

There was a problem

* This league is not registered in this game. (Error #272)
* This league is from the free game. (Error #271)



Were you given a new league id and password when you upgraded? the orignial id and pw doesn't appear to be working on the plus league area also.

Just PM me your e:mails, & I'll invite you.

Otherwise, you might want to try enlisting tomorrow. I am thinking we might be stuck in a time-warp, where Obnerballs is neither regular nor plus league, since the transaction hasn't cleared yet.

awesome, thanks Monty!

Party @ Monty's!

I'd love to be in again.

Careful what you wish for... It's like the Hotel California.

even with your invite it wasn't working so i'll try tomorrow...

OK, I'll pony up a CD again this year. Hell, if Timmy won last year, anyone can do it!

btw: still can't join the league this morning

You just had to get it in, didn't you?

- for some reason, it never gets old. Besides, you're not playing this year, remember?

Ditto.

Monty- I PM'ed you my email addy.


Rosters look good, don't change 'em!

Looks like they give you more options for league parameters. One appears to be "one win" head-to-head matchups, which could be interesting. The standings would look more like fantasy football.

Joined.

What's up with no playoffs?

And if we get one more person (or if Timmy changes his mind), how about increasing the league to 16 teams? (especially since you dropped MI, CI, etc.- good players will be available for more teams).

And are there additional stat categories allowed with Plus leagues? If they offer 2B + 3B, we should go with that over just 2B.

I'd like to see sb% swapped out for plain old sb. ricky henderson is in the hall of fame for his sb total. not for his sb%. sb% just seems overly esoteric.

Also, I'd favor changing k to k/9 and QS to walks. This goes to Timmy's complaint about incessant waiver wire scooping for pitchers during the finals. Under the current setup, 6 of the 8 pitching categories favor starting as many pitchers as possible (ip, w, s, k, holds, qs). Using k/9 and walks, along with era and whip, categories where you'd be hurt if you started every random pitcher, would negate that advantage.

I'm thinking.

I tried to join "Plus" & "Free", and it gave me an error message for both...

How did you get in, nacho?
