Did anyone else get a ton of 'sportsfilter' spam last night?

I did as well. I had 56 of them. They were listed as a weekly newsletter.

Yahoo Fantasy H2H Baseball League

It actually says in the notes above the teams.....

"Your league will not be permitted to conduct its draft if it contains an odd number of teams"

We only have 11 teams signed up so we need 1 more or 3 more if you want 14.

No it says that unless you have an even amount of teams you will not be allowed to draft. We would need at least 12 to go.

Well it looks like we are going to need one more team in order to have the league go on. Please won't someone else join?

Presented without comment,

I guess I was mostly speaking to myself when I made the above comment. I do not hardly ever post but read everyday. I need to start saying when things have really made me think or have helped me learn something new. I in no way think we should just post for the sake of posting but maybe try to post on something you learned or liked about the article. Maybe someone else will not have seen that angle of the article and will go back and read it again and thus provoking discussion. I know sometimes people have pointed out something in the article that I completely missed when I read it the first time.

Presented without comment,

I really think that we need to give more attention to the "other" threads that lbb mentioned. If we raise the bar about what we post comments on then hopefully it will overcome the whole site. You are never going to have a site where everyone is pleasant and polite and considers other peoples feelings. Get real this is life and it rarely happens in person. The more attention we give the good fpp's and the less we give the poor ones the better. on edit: I guess everyone is basically saying the same thing. The #1 rule I remember that I learned on sportsfilter - "don't feed the trolls"

Final '07 Fantasy Baseball Standings

Hey now just because I didn't make any last minute changes to my team doesn't mean I wasn't active. Look at the difference - minny trax made like 70 moves and I only made about 18. Just a different style of play not necessarily not playing. This is all mute anyway because in no way was it stated that you had to complete the season with complete moves on the last day to win the costanza so in my mind LBB is the true costanza winner. Jersey Girl made about the same amount of moves I did and you still say she won.

Yahoo! Fantasy NHL Pool is in business!

I'm definitely not sold on Mason yet...now that he's the main man and all. Mason is Fantasy Radiation (loser) due to the mass exodus of talent out of Nashville Of course - I drafted him. He now has the skydivemom curse of fantasy sports and will forever suck! But no weedy I am not giving him up because if anyone knows me I draft and keep till it kills me. Again I say it is the skydivemom curse of fantasy sports!

From the Blogosphere

It seems to be down lower now on the front page and it actually shows Blogosphere instead of page not available. Even though it says Blogosphere in the lockerroom front page it is still up and blocking text.

I have a weird box that shows the page is not available on the right side of my screen making it impossible to read any text that is on that side at the top of the page. It appears to be behind the ads by google section.

Will someone please sign up. We have 9 teams and they will not let us draft on Saturday if we do not have an even amount.

Well since there still seemed to be space available I signed up with Sons of Mama and you should all be happy about that because I really suck at roto and I am one more person you all can finish ahead of. *I am really hoping reverse psychology works in this case.

You know Mama's Boys has always sucked so this year we are going with Sons of Mama and see what happens. Unlike the baseball season where I was gone a month, with children in school I stay home and will keep my team active. edit: The draft time and settings are good with me.

MLB Predictions: somewhat-post-midterm grades

Our class trip in sixth grade was to Mackinac Island, up where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. It was neither educational nor particularly fun. But I did get some salt water taffy. Even though it's not remotely close to an body of salt water. I probably listened to some awful music in the walkman on the bus ride there and back. So awful I can't even remember it. posted by holden at 11:14 AM CDT on July 26 Ditto here holden and it was Greenfield Villiage in 5th grade. I cannot forget the all famous trip to Tulip Festival in Holland and all the rich kids (not me of course) getting wooden shoes!

posted by skydivemom at 07:59 PM on July 26

It's all over

Well I probably should not have signed up since I have been gone for most of this and didn't really understand much if anything. But what the hey - I didn't finish last and I can honestly say I finished third in a spofi competition!

I could go for a 9:30 draft instead of 11:30 and then everyone would have the afternoon to do their St. Patricks Day thing and we could all have the luck of the Irish on our side for the draft.
