LOTO(AKA League Of their Own) 05' CONSOLATION LEAGUE

[ANDREWLAITURI]

Alrighty then, I finally finished my draftlist and joined the league. Since I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with this team I just threw a bunch of scrubs together and picked my stadium...Shea! :shock:

I can't figure out whether my team is just pacing themselves for the stretch drive or if their gonna finally tank after teasing me for weeks?? :?

I've got a few feelers out there for the league as well.

And we reserve the 12th spot for Jerlins, so he can close out the league for a favorable waiverfrenzy day, then we only have 5 spots to fill.

Haven't heard back from Riggo or J-PAV yet, but anyone here who has friends who are very competitive(No quitters) and are cool are always welcome to play LOTO. I just like to either know the players from past leagues or they can come from recommendations from any of the players who have already been invited in.

The only reason for this is that anyone who has ever played SOM in a league with either cheaters, quitters or players who totally upset the chemistry or balance of a league, knows how lousy that experience is. The invitations by recommendations from trusted friends is the best way to keep that element out. Anyone who knows me knows that my intention is never exclusivity or snobbery. But only that the SOM experience be e good one for everyone who plays LOTO - win or lose.

Thanks, Robert :wink:

Still no credit yet!!! There's a few folks I've played with I would recommend and some I haven't played yet, that I would be interested in competing against. Let me know if you need suggestions or ideas.

I tell you this game can be such a "tease". I feel as though I'm
making a little progress, getting within 3 games of .500 and then I
get those Slaps in the Face !!! ArrylT's Questers sweep me last night
to put me at 10 games under, and oh Great, I get to play the League
Wrecking Machine TRich's Beulahs tonight. :(

I'm with you on that one Jeff, twice my team has gotten to within 2 games of .500 and twice it's entered a slump that puts me back 10-12 games under... if only there was an emoticon for choking...

Let's see I've clawed my way back to within 2 for the third time... let's see what happens tonight. THIS is the big test to the decision of cutting Rolen.

...oooooh such a nail-biting cliff-hanger for tonight :D

Rooting for you Jeff. :wink:

As have most of the other LOTO Faithful...Haven't heard from Riggo or Qksilver, who I also messaged...So I am open to other suggestions and still hoping some of the other guys here who have credits might be willing to play one more time...After all, this really is a fun group...No? :)

QUESTION: If it takes us too long to fill this up, and in the meantime
the 2006 game comes out can we "pull out" so to speak and use that
credit for the 2006 game?

I'm in no hurry, so if it takes a while to get this one off the ground it's
fine by me. But I think we all know that once 2006 comes out it will only
be harder and harder to find folks willing to join a 2005 league.

I've seen a number of posts saying that TSN usually let's you transfer a credit for a new year but haven't seen anything official.

Technically we've used this credit since we've bought a team already.

I just KNOW my team is teasing me! Suckering me into believing in them again and then...[b:b983d3e706][color=red:b983d3e706]POW![/color:b983d3e706][/b:b983d3e706] right in the kisser! :roll:
Oh and could E. Chavez have picked a worse time to go down to a 15 gamer! :evil:

I've posted to the main board for interested parties of the vet variety and have at least one interested party and maybe 2. :D
