SBDL Discussion

Sent this back to Page one

Thanks for your response, Joe!

I currently have an active team running in ATGVI, so I'm online here every morning.

I appreciate you guys considering letting me back in, so keep me posted here.

Getting a little short in the memory as I get older, what did SBDL stand for again, Silent but Deadly......something like that?

I think it is Same but Different

I think it is Same but Different

Correct,--- Same But Different League

Preparation for Same But Different League season #27

Tim Orzech, you will be taking over the reigns of Eric Martin's squad -
(Lunatic Fringe) http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/808530

Here is a old link I found to the most recent rules page I could find:
http://palanion.angelfire.com/sbdl/league-rules.html

the league 26 playoffs begin on Monday -

We can start naming our first 3 keepers for next season now -

If keepers are named in time we can start the steal phase in 2 weeks (first week in December) when the final draft order is apparent.

We can then name our next 3 keepers following the steal round.

The 6 round post keeper draft should be ready to begin somewhere before Xmas


Eligible players for season 27:
Pitchers - A, E, F, G, H, K, M, O, S, T, U, V, Y
Hitters - A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, L, M, N, O, Q, R, U, W, Y, Z

(Retiring from season 26 are any B and J pitchers who are not named Keepers)

preliminary draft order at this time will be:
1) Munich_Man (Munich Sechs Maniacs)
2) 13Baseballs (Junior Furball 410)
3) emart's team now to be zrot (Lunatic Fringe)
4) tomwistar (Red Sovines)
5) Honeyman (Voodoo Dudes) *lost head to head with Palanion
6) Palanion (Psychedelic Furs 26)
7) joeoc (Tinley Prairie Ghosts 26) *lost head to head with novie
8) novie (Swansea Bay Demented Lepers)
9-12 to be determined after playoffs

Tim may select a new stadium without penalty if he wishes, but will need to announce it in the keeper phase

Current stadiums in use include:
1) Munich_Man (Munich Sechs Maniacs) - League 11
2) 13Baseballs (Junior Furball 410) - League 34
3) emart's team now to be zrot (Lunatic Fringe) - Shea 71

6) Palanion (Psychedelic Furs 26) - Petco 05
7) joeoc (Tinley Prairie Ghosts 26) - Comerica 05
8) novie (Swansea Bay Demented Lepers) - Metropolitan 71
9) thaibill (Pattaya Scorpions) - Penmar
10) Bunze0 (SBDL Wannabees) - Forbes 54
11) Mr Baseball World (Milwaukee Bears) - Hilltop 11
12) hackra (South Buffalo Dunn Liberals) - Dunn 20


I'll start off the keeper list with my first 3 keepers -

hackra - Barry Bonds, Billy Hamilton, Bill Dickey

Keepers

Hackra - Ba Bonds, B Hamilton, B Dickey
Novie - M Mantle, R Henderson, Ba Schultz

Ok, I'm on it.

My team will be, as always, The Garfield Hts Orz'z

a couple of housekeeping issues -
remember that amongst the 7 keepers (including steal pick) each team can have a maximum of 4 hitters or 4 pitchers

I also noticed that in our letter groupings that U pitchers are included in 2 pitcher letter groups (HFU and GKEOVU) both of which are currently active. We are only talking about 4 pitchers - George Uhle(3 cards), Jim Umbricht, Tom Underwood, and Cecil Upshaw at this time.

Unless there is some objection, I would suggest we remove the U from the second group (therefore only retiring U pitchers if and when the HFU pitchers retire)

Sounds reasonable to me.

Welcome back, Orz'z!

How long ago was it that you were in the league? Was it back in the Bush administration? Man, we've been playing this game for a long time.

Speaking of which: I came across a newspaper article the other day about Jamie Moyer pitching for the Geneva Cubs in the New York-Penn League ... during Ronald Reagan's FIRST term in office. I guess he's finally retired, but that guy had an amazing, admirably long career. I wonder how many presidential terms SBDL will be good for?
