FBBL Openings

crackpott · 01-29-2003, 07:56 PM

I told you I wouldn't be creative anymore... most veterans know the league. The rookies don't, but should check it out themselves, like they should ANY league instead of just believing whatever hype the commissioner gives about it (Yes, I know the hypocrisy of that statement given my signature...)

Anyway, there are some amazing teams available in St. Louis, Portland, and Boston. check the league out at www.fbbl.net and submit an application if you're interested. I warn you however, READ THE RULES. I can't stress that enough. Not only will I not let you in until you've read them, and believe me, I'll know if you're lying, but you'll also realize how much of a time commitment this league is... it's not something you can just throw in with three other leagues without problems.

I dont think there is another ootp league that mirrors the rules in current MLB better than this one. Arbitration, compensation, its all here. Plus you all know how dedicated to his league Phil is after that Mcnabb and Prepon photo.

No more gimmicks?

Michael Xavier · 01-30-2003, 03:09 AM

I wonder if I am considered a veteran?

crackpott · 01-30-2003, 02:43 PM

All the gimmick posts despite the effort I put in got almost no applications, so I figured why bother...

Michael Xavier · 01-30-2003, 02:47 PM

I always thought that you didn't get people because you are Canadian.

crackpott · 01-30-2003, 03:39 PM

No, that's why i don't get any gunshot wounds. I could see how you might mistake the two though. Common error.

Michael Xavier · 01-30-2003, 04:04 PM

As a good ol' Kentucky country boy, I have to say, gunshot wounds aren't that bad. At least a rural gunshot wound isn't. Urban ones tend to be so impersonal, but a good rural gunshot wound is something that really says someone cares.

or someone thought you were a deer. Either way.

You can be proud of one or the other, Jean. That's the way things work.

I was just wondering what teams are now available, from the web site it looks like Portland and Washington.

I'd be interested in Washington. Let me know, my email is warren.pineau@shaw.ca

Thanks

crackpott · 01-31-2003, 04:46 PM

It's actually St. Louis. I got your application but I strongly urge you to send one again... (see the thread that is numerous pages long for the reason... I think it's near the end.)

Truly a great league for anyone who wants a realistic, detailed GM experience! If you have the time and the interest, I highly recommend joining us.

Oh not another Canadian... you don't have to be a separatist to be a Quebecer. And also, being a federalist doesn't make you a traitor. DOWN WITH STEREOTYPES!
