i'm sure there's not a whole lot of interest in this community but does anyone here want to get a shroomery fantasy baseball league started? i'd create one if we got at around 8-12 people, it'd be on yahoo. if you don't have an account on yahoo then get one, its not hard. post or pm me with your yahoo account name if you're interested. go cardinals

There already is a shroomery fantasy baseball league. We already drafted.

Just fucking In case you guys didn't know there is a Sports forum at the Shroomery. Yep, it's true. I believe this is the sixth year we've had a fantasy baseball league. I made a thread about it a month and a half ago and held registration open for about a month. It has been stickied at the top of the Sports Forum page from day one. There were two spots left for serious applicants but we got 10 and it was time to get going.

The Cubs, LOL@! There's nothing else to say about the Cubs. Any other team that had Prior and Wood would have won a series.

We have Wood, now........Prior had us to the 8th with 5 outs left... That's pretty close.

I have a little collection. Nothing valuable. My uncle gave me a few sets of card, but I couldn't stop myself from opening them. When I was a kid I'd play with them and memorise all the statistics. They're all fucked up but I'll keep them forever. That's Don Mossi in my avatar, the ugliest baseball player of all time (I think).

The only card I want is the Billy Ripken fuckface card. I want to hang that shit on my wall. On the subject of baseball, I am closely related to two hall of fame players, Tris Speaker and Cap Anson. Cap Anson was a notorious racist and refused to take the field against teams with black players. They were both in the KKK.

2 pretty heavy names there. Im 28, so the majority of my collection is worthless 80's-90's bullshit, but since I was 18 Ive been buying some oldies...1909-11 tobacco cards, 33-34 Coudeys and 59-67 topps...Mostly Cubs shit, Santo, Banks, Williams, Jenkins, Sandberg, Dawson etc...
Realated to Tris Speaker you say...hmm, wow!

You didn't ruin my day. Just pointing out that you had ample opportunity to apply to join the league. But it's all good. I most likely would have denied you a spot anyway because you have been here for 6 months now and never once made a post in the sports forum. We don't need any flaky dilettantes who will stop managing when they find themselves in last place.

Same here. Most of my cards are just 90's and 80's stuff. I have a few older cards thrown in. A few cards worth a couple bucks like a tops rookie Vince Colemen. Probably the most valuable ones I have are this set of gold plated Sammy Sosa/ Mark McGwire 1998 home run chase cards and even those are probably only worth $50. Yes, I am related to both of those guy legitimately.

Braves fan. I remember watching the 1995 series as a little kid and falling asleep trying desperately to stay awake at night. Still went to games when they sucked for a couple of years. I just like to rip on the Cubs, no offense is meant.

I collected baseball cards from 1988 until the 1994 strike, when I lost interest. In those 6 years, I probably spent 95% of my allowance+lawn mowing earnings on cards, and accumulated somewhere in the ballpark (no pun intended) of 10,000 cards. They are occupying an entire shelf in my parents garage ATM. I don't have anything super-valuable either, but maybe that will change by the time I retire.
My best card is a '80 Topps Ricky Henderson rookie. I found it in a box of random cards that my cousin sent me from when she collected between '78 and '82. It reached a value of $300 right after he took the stolen base record, but was on a long slow decline last time I checked. Some other good ones include a few Kirby Puckett rookies, a Jack Morris rookie, a couple of Rod Carews, and a couple of Harmon Killebrews. I'm a Twins fan if you couldn't tell...

The intransigent stupidity that was Dusty Baker was more than powerful enough to cancel out the brilliance of Prior and Wood.
Say what you want about Lou not being able to manage pitchers (and I'm sure zappa will), but at least he didn't leave a steady stream of floppy-armed broken hurlers in his wake like Dusty.

I asked to join "his" league and he questioned why I should be in the fantasy league because "I didn't make a single post about baseball." He gave the impression like he wanted me to write an essay on why he should let me play.
So don't buy into his BS, when in reality he is scared of getting owned by an outsider or "flaky dilettantes."

I'm not afraid of anybody. In 8 years against a total of 66 other teams I've won 6 times and finished behind a grand total of 4 teams. What I'm not interested in is some jackass losing interest and not managing their team in August and September. That fucks the deal up for everybody when that happens. You didn't show any interest at all. No flakes. But don't be offended. Madtown was suspended for a year for doing that.

I know, I know. It's all fun.
Just to let y'all know, robbyberto was one of the 4 although he didn't get the win. I also edged him out by 3 RBIs in 2008 to win and he was right there last year, too. Nobody else has that kind of consistency.

Hey, I concur about the inactivity issue.
The thing is I am fairly active in that forum. I would have been one of the more active teams, I guarantee you.
I am not at all offended. It's all in jest on the shroomery..well it should be atleast.

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad ~ Jack Handey
