ESPN Baseball Challenge: Salary Cap, Weekly Edition

http://games.espn.go.com/bbc/frontpage

Be sure to set your entry up for WEEKLY as opposed to daily, if you want to play in this league

Gangster BB
Corleone

Be sure to also enter the 1200+ member "Fantasy Editorial Group", a public group playing against ESPN Fantasy writers! (See bottom of BBC frontpage)

Your roster for the week will lock at the start of the Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals game on Sunday, March 30th at 8:05pm ET. Please be sure to submit your initial roster before that time.

Maybe next year we'll try daily again if this sucks and time allows.

2007 Standings: DB, TM, JG, BL, GG, JL, KL (Last 3 wimps stopped playing in Sep)

I'm there!

Got off to a bad start here. I put down the Yankee PS to get a feel for the points I wanted to spend and I forgot to change them (I didn't want them for the week).

This is a stoopida fockin' game. I may not play next year.

First official whine of Baseball Challenge in '08.

Weekly vs. Daily is going to be interesting. I have no experience in it - care to share some tips from basketball, JG??

Tips? There's only one that I know of, and it's pretty obvious...

Obvious? What's obvious?

You know... the one semi-great thing about weekly... I don't think we have to worry about double-headers.

Hmmmm... Maybe we do...

If you weren't in 1st Place maybe I'd tell you

Not that I expect any of you to share some "tips" but I'm trying to figure out if when picking a pitching staff is it more important to go by the number of games to be played that week OR go strictly by the staff and their opponents?

It's a combination of all of the above. I would go with the best staff against weak opponents, factoring in how many games they're playing that week.

I agree. The pitching decisions have to strike a compromise between the # of games, and the strength of the opponents. I weigh the # of games more heavily for the hitters than I do for the pitching staffs. But it's a work in progress, and there'll be a lot of trial and error.

HOLY SHIT!! 1 POINT FOR THE DAY!!?! ONE??!?

Damn Yankees!!! Fucking pitching staff (which I didn't want to begin with) loses me 20 points.... then Posada and Cabrera go on the DL and that fucking ugly Godzilla (who the hell would marry him?) gives me a total of only 9 points this week as DH.

FUCKING YANKEES SUCK MOOSEDICK

I got 1 point yesterday in the draft game -- and dropped from #2 to #7.

Wow. Whining about it in 2 threads now.

Yeah... no bi-threadal whining is allowed.

Damned spammers.

I was just mentioning the 1 point thing

Is ESPN down for everyone else, or just me? I was having some problems w/ Yahoo earlier, too...

I've been having problems with it for a few days. Try logging into your Golf screen and THEN go into your baseball screen. That'll work (for some reason).

I'm having problems with multiple sites right now -- mobposters ad isn't coming up either. It must be Comcast or some big outage somewhere

No problems with Yahoo or ESPN here....

SC, stop burying your feelings and be more upfront. Repressing your anger is not good for your blood pressure.

Sure... you go to the game today and they lose (again).

The curse of the (Sicilian) Babe.

OK. I made changes to my roster for next week. I saved those changes, but when I view next week's list the changes don't show. What the fuck is going on?

Worked for me the other day

Week 1


JG is #43 and TM is #49 out of 1772 in the Fantasy Editorial Group

The Braves' pitching hit me for a -20 last night, sinking me to last place. They are -1 for the week.

I'm in the same boat as you are in, KL.

You're the guys who chose ATL with 4 games @COL
...18 ERs in 24 innings

Yeah, but it's April. the ball's not supposed to be flying out of there until the end of May.

Still a habit of mine

You ever hear of 'global warming'?
