ATG8 $80m, DH, 5/10/20 drop penalty advanced waivers


and, please, please, please, have your team name be in the form of a City/County/state/region (ala New England) and a mascot (you know, like real teams (realism at its best))

the rule of thumb in the parent league was 'so the game recap makes sense'


"c'mon, it'll be fun..."

bump


up to 20 teams now...


only way to stop seeing reminders is fill the league and get it started, folks...

i don't see how anyone can resist the chance to play against teams named Baton Rouge Voodoo and Staten Island Pizzas

(neither one is my team's name, but both are very good ones, fwmoiw)

and this morning, we only need 18...

bump -

well, had 4 guys in for a while, not everybody has booked, probably taking too long to fill


if this idea just has no interest, wouldn't mind hearing that feedback

and then pull my team and let the league die

the one I played in previously was pretty good. at least the game recaps read less bizarrely when the team name was mentioned

I would have joined long ago, but weird is spelled wrong, and nothing personal but that stuff just drives me nuts. Sorry

my apology, sir, its the stroke damage, I sometimes can't see transpositions like that... somehow, even with the red spellcheck underscoring misspellings don't register. what if I delete the league and make absolute certain to get the spelling 100% ?


we all have our pet peeves, just like team names like 'Painful Crotch Itch' is one of mine

and no,I have not seen that exact name, but you get what I mean, correct?


either way, appreciate the reply.


and just by way of example, before I corrected it, I spelled 'no' as 'know' and 'seen' as 'scene' (not sure what is up w/ the homonym inappropriate substitution thing, but that's also part of it. anyway, apologies for the spelling screw up. I think I will correct that.


corrected. presumably it will fill like a Thanksgiving night electronics special sellsout now...

Well I feel like a bit of an ass now, I hope you are recovering well! I am always looking for leagues, especially the $80m DH type. So while I can't say for sure I would join, I certainly could see myself joining such a league

Steve, no need for you to feel like an *ssterisk, sincerely. we all have our peeves, like wierd [sic] names is one of mine. ;-] no way in hell you could have known about my little problem, unless I (or some mutual opponent) told you, correct?


happy Solstice (11 more days...)


sincerely,

patrick

(one of my old-bosses' pet peeves was that I would not capitalize my names or the first person singular pronoun all the time in emails (within our team only, not in 'public' documentation - so since he does not play here, I can do it)
