I will make this league here in a lil bit and get the invites out.

All invites are sent.

[ReignOnU]

Thanks Ryan. I'll accept here in an hour or so. We're keeping my nieces overnight and I need to get them settled in (ie. focused on Netflix), then I'll jump on and do it.

[Bernie32]

Sun night works for me

[I_S33M_THAB33T_U]

I accepted your friend request. No invite in my queue though.

Yea cause I cant send it till you accepted that.

[The_Niddler]

Just fyi, you can invite people by their PSN name even if they are not on your friends list.
Makes it much easier.

[I_S33M_THAB33T_U]

Ok, its really easier if they are on your friends list.

But there was a issue once i activated the league it then set it up for what was originally 9:10 which you set by hours and mins ahead, and it would have gave us a 12:45am start. So that is why I had to have everyone rejoin. We still need 5 guys to join.

Look forward to tonights draft, i will have a chat party setup for 8 of the 10 that want to chat while we draft. Should be fun to see where everyone goes.

Can you post the full draft order?

Just for you above posted edited.

Check your aim also.

[The_Niddler]

Sub Section created.
And I just accepted the invite.

[I_S33M_THAB33T_U]

Can you move this thread into that section ?

[The_Niddler]

The good news is, those hours spent were NOT all for nothing.
Looking on the website, it appears that our rosters are in there.

Ryan, is this open for playing starting today?

[jsence2]

The draft was quite fun and I'm looking forward to running a while w this

[The_Niddler]

I edited your first post so that we can see what teams are taken if we have new owners.

Played my first game last night, was down 2-1 going into the ninth, hit back-to-back solo homers off their closer (Kemp's 2nd of the game, followed by Belt), and used my "closer by committee" to split the 9th and get the 3-2 win. Was actually quite fun seeing a team and not knowing who they had

Btw, I drafted Juan Pierre and when I try to move him to my MLB team, it says his contract is expired or something. I know he was an FA in the game, do I need to release him and then re-sign him, or what?

[I_S33M_THAB33T_U]

No idea about Pierre.

[Shiftdnb]

I was down 8-1 then 9-2 after Ryu got squeezed and after some crazy plays where guys weren't throwing to the base even though the throw meter was showing. Gave up a couple bombs then got Ryu to settle down to at least make it to the 5th. Put my long reliever in who is rated 64 and held them scoreless while I clawed my way back in finally taking the lead in the top of the 8th.

Poor Kyle Loshe

He gives up one hit (a solo homer in the 2nd) and one walk in the entire game, leaves after 8 with a 4-1 lead....and gets a no decision

Braves destroy the Brewers bullpen, getting 4 runs in the 9th (capped by a 3-run homer by Stanton) and take a 5-4 lead, and then watch their new closer blow his first save chance. Game goes to the 10th, where the Braves score 4 runs in the extra inning, capped by.....well, another 3-run homer by Stanton, on a 1-2 pitch, on a contact swing bomb to straight-away center field. Braves walk out with a 9-5 win.

Stanton is off to a hot start, hitting .389 w 4 HR and 11 RBI in the first four games. Wilson Ramos, however, is still looking for his first hit, as he is now 0 for 19 on the season
