Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League".

Gutter Cats playing some much better ball. Slowly upgrading my staff - PP is pretty hard to come by and only one good pack pull and that was gold.

As for offering to bow out, it appears your team will be playing 18 Our League games, which is enough to qualify, since we go by winning pct. The tie breakers are weighted enough in favor of the teams that have more games to make it fair. If OOTP did a more refined application of the Friends List, teams like yours wouldn't get shafted. Grand Poobah Knucklehead Smith has weighed in below.

Gold results sent.

A double-whammy for the Stephensville Bears this season. Not only did we get relegated to Iron, it appears we will only play 3 Our League games this season, rendering us ineligible for Our League Iron play.

The Cowboys have mixed results so far in Gold. I think we're a whopping 0-7 in Our League play, which we've never really been very good at. On the other hand, we're currently leading our division despite being a hair over .500. Nice to be in a weak division this year.

I have a big chunk of PP unused -- 14k points. Haven't really seen anything I want to buy on the auction house. Any marginal improvement on one of my 25 roster spots would cost an arm and a leg. I have half a mind to buy 14 packs instead, but I'll keep scouring the auction house this week.

Nooo. Stay away from packs.

I ended up buying Wade Boggs and Mark Loretta. Boggs is a similar hitter to Bill Madlock at 3B, but Wade can actually play defense!

By the way, if Motown needs him, I could drop Frank Lary into the auction house. I've heard that they have best stadium music. Given the name of the team, I hope I haven't infringed by playing "Tears of a Clown" after each Asylum loss. I will have to rotate in "I'm a Loser," though since fans may tire of hearing even a great song almost daily.

Amazingly, in spite of their own general incompetence and nincompoopery, the Patriots are still in 1st place in their division at 28-26. Andy Pafko's batting average has tanked to .238, but he leads the team by miles in Home Runs (14) & Runs Batted In (40).

Panic buy Edgardo Alfonzo (87) has settled in nicely as he tries to improve his defensive ability at 3rd base, hitting .333 with 2 HR and 7 RBI.

Now if only we could sort out the pitching...

87 Boggs I like at 1B, 89 Boggs I like at 2B

I'm new at this as you easily can see ... but what exactly do I have to do?

So far I only stated that I would like to take part ... Stanley wrote that he added me, but where?

Do I have to add certain guys to my friend list?

Yup. On Sunday, I am sure he will post the up to date list of friends.

You try making an all-German team?

Annandale has settled into a comfortable routine of winning one game and then losing the next. Repeat ad infinitum. If I had the PP I'd look to upgrade a starter but as mentioned above, PP are hard to come by! When I open my bonus packs all I get are bronzes and irons. :/

I sympathize completely. My solo bonus packs are the minimum it seems, 5 Irons and 1 Bronze.

Hey Guys, we have another member who is ready to get used and abused and is currently in Iron 236 with four other Our League teams.



PT user name: gabeeg


Team Name: Fancher Creek Pirates


If you are in Iron, or Bronze, please make sure to add him to your friends list.





Us "Iron guys" love sitting around, talking it up about some day making it to the "Big Leagues"......Bronze!

Hooray! Another team in Our League Iron 236! Another team that I am not scheduled to play!

Don't really understand it, but the Energizer Bunnies are STILL goin' even in Diamond this season --- with a record of 33-21 one-third of the way through the season. When I look at other rosters, I know this cannot continue --- with only 3 diamond players (highest=93), and ten gold players almost everybody else has more diamond players on their roster than I. Last month I played seven games in a home-and-home against a team with 3 perfects, and almost all the rest diamonds, and won five of them.

At any rate, just like last season and the one before it, we are first in BA (.292), OBA, SLG, runs scored, and last in HR in our league. Our pitching could use some help as we are only ninth in the league there.

As I said, this can't continue, but it is fun while it lasts!

No. My two F2P-teams are the Frankenthal Retros (with players pre-1990) and the Frankenthal Brewers (with Brewers players only)

The second idea is crazy enough
