Okay, it's ready. The Coming Soon Ballpark is open for the 2003 season.

Here's the info:

League #94882
Password - comingsoon

The live draft is set for Tuesday, March 11 at 12:50 pm CST. If this is a problem for too many people, it can be changed.

Sign up and let's play ball.

[Rogue]

I'm signing up but I'll be in the doctors office during the draft, so I'll just hope for the best. ;)

[Colorado Cajun]

I signed up

[Tardumb]

I'm there....I'll be in school for the draft though....

[TxFilmMkr]

Come on guys! I think there are 20 spots total. Let's try to fill it up because it's a looooong season.

[TxFilmMkr]

I've bumped the draft time back about 9 days to allow more time for people to sign up.

Thursday, March 20 at 1:35 pm CST

[thebtskink]

I'm in.

[TxFilmMkr]

Okay, I've done what I should have done in the first place, bumped the start date to the last weekday before the season begins. This will be it, so be there or be square.

Friday, March 28 at 1:10 pm CST

Not this season, sorry.

[Colorado Cajun]

Wow the comp actually scored me a damn good team. Now we'll see if I can finish closer than 2nd. I still can't believe I lost by only six points last time

[Tardumb]

Ya, I wasn't here for the draft either, but DAMN, I'm lovin' my team! Skink musta had dibs on the Sox eh? ;)

[Tardumb]

I'm pretty bored, so I thought I'd post the everyone's team rosters over here, in case anyone else gives a damn! ;)

There you have it! Your CS! Fantasy Baseball teams! I'm acting really excited with all of these exclamation marks! I'm really not! Weeeeeeeeeeee! But yeah, Good Luck to everyone on the season, and to all that didn't sign up, lazy bums!

[Rogue]

Hah..my team.. :lol:

[Dogbert0228]

Hey Tardumb.

Just FYI, I'm dogbert0228. AOF's my team. What's everyone think of the league so far?

[TxFilmMkr]

So far it's been good. It'll get a lot better when Berkman gets his ass in gear and starts putting the bat on the ball.

BTW, I was in the army with a guy from Port Orchard, WA.

[Dogbert0228]

I just now have realized the advantage of having a fairly small league. THE FREE AGENT MARKET! Wow, when I was looking to dump a few guys the other day, I found some awesome replacements. The one that's really cool is Rocco Baldelli. No one darfted this guy because he's a rookie, and plays for the Devil Rays. Maybe no one in the league has dumped any players because we're still in the first month, but check out some of the free agents. Baldelli has been tearing up the opposition down in Florida, and hopefully he'll continue that all season. It's the perfect time of year, in my opinion, to pick up some guys like Baldelli and get rid of a guy like Steve Finley, in my case. Yes, Finley's a veteran with a great career, but he was off to such a slow start, that even if he does turn it around, he still won't be much more than average this season at best. Hey, I'm even looking to trade Ichiro, so if anyone's interested and have one or two guys of to great starts, E-mail me. This league will be mine for the taking. The season really is won or lost in April, so start dumping the guys that are pulling you down now and take advantage of this deep free agent market.

Oh, and BTW, anyone with guys like Jeter and Sasaki who have gone down early, I laugh, a lot, because it really sucks for you all. And TxFlmMkr, I'm looking forward to beating you this week. I'm already out to a 5-0 lead, and only one of my player's was active yesterday.

One last helpful hint for anyone not aqainted with Seattle this year, although I have him right now, I might find someone batter later in the year, take a look at Willie Bloomquist. A homegrown product of Port Orchard and member of SK's 1996 State Championship team, with success as a college player at Arizona.

Yeah...good luck ;)

[TyRoss]

Ahhhh if only I had more time I would have whipped all your candy A$$es.... again. ;)

[Tardumb]

Suuure you would've...it was luck ;)

[Rogue]

Well ****. My team is a wreck. *sigh*

[Tardumb]

It's early still though, keep the hope alive :p

[Rogue]

I hoped right up until the very last day last time and I bottomed out.

[Tardumb]

Oh well, it's just a luck of the draw.

[Rogue]

I think we should do a college football league..I'd kick ass at that, lol.

Now, when you say "TOO," you mean, "in addition" don't you? Well, last time I checked, Arkansas Attitude was in last place. But Maybe you'll make a last-minute comeback...

J/k I was checking out what we all said at the beginning of the season, and I had to pick on the last place team :)

[Rogue]

It's called a joke ;)

I love CFB and would probably do better at that than baseball.

[Tardumb]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......:D

My team...unstoppable...

Not any more. Tex's Astrofans win the championship after finishing the regular season 71 games out!

Too bad the real Astros weren't as lucky.
