Subject: Merger league Posted by: WiddleAvi - [48523260] Mon, Mar 12, 10:14 Well it seems like we are ready to move on to the next step. I guess we all have to sign up and then someone will have to E-mail the commish with the list of teams etc. | ||||||

Nothing from the commish yet, although his replacements said I can expect an answer sometime next week. I don't see the Commish being ruthless about it, but just gotta wait until he replies to me, personally. Sorry for the delay in responding. | |||||
| 132 | skinneej ID: 22235410 Sat, Mar 24, 18:01 | SanFran, I would bring my W2 Astros to join the handful of W2 managers already in the merger. I have no problem taking the Reds and I look forward to the competition. | |||||

I like BPG's idea "I suppose we could just submit the list with Jay-P included, and include Dr. Ball's info as an alternate in case the commish doesn't accept Jay-P's payment. " Any other ideas on what we should do? | |||||
| 134 | Bluto ID: 19151723 Sat, Mar 24, 18:08 |
Skinneej, thanks for being willing to take the Reds. This league looks like it's going to be great. I can't wait for the merger. | |||||
| 135 | Vic Vega ID: 2248176 Sat, Mar 24, 18:22 |
Okay, here's the part where I beg... If it's okay, and I understand my friend Dr. Ball isn't officially in yet, but if he does get in-can he have the Reds, and have Skinnej take the Rockies from Jay P.? Having my friend in my division would be a really cool thing for both of us, and I would be eternally grateful. In fact, I may just be grateful enough to talk trash more often on the boards :) Again, Dr. Ball is fully paid up, and is ready to join as soon as you give him the O.K.. | |||||
| 136 | Sanfran ID: 4222279 Sat, Mar 24, 18:30 | Think of Skinneej's pitchers, they'll get shelled at home! Serioulsy I dont think he cares what team he gets, so it probaly wont be a problem. | |||||
| 137 | Timing ID: 590262414 Sat, Mar 24, 18:35 | I like BPG's idea. Let's email that stuff and get on with it! | |||||
| 138 | WiddleAvi ID: 392232118 Sat, Mar 24, 18:40 | I say Jay-P gets his spot. He has mailed out the money. We can E-mail the list to the commish with Jay-P's name on it. Worst case scenerio the Commish sets up the league leaves one team ownerless until he gets the Money from Jay-P. | |||||
| 139 | WiddleAvi ID: 392232118 Sat, Mar 24, 19:25 | Big Poo Generator - I think you should go ahead and E-mail the commish the list with also a backup for Jay-P. Lets get moving on this. Also the sooner this gets done the sooner the Commish could come back to us with any problems there might be (Not receiving a payment or something). | |||||
| 140 | Sanfran ID: 4222279 Sat, Mar 24, 19:27 | Exactly, BPG you wanna e-mail the list? OR Timing you wanna do it? I dont want that much responsibility.. :-) | |||||
| 141 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Sat, Mar 24, 19:56 |
When you email the commish explain who has paid by money order and ask him to verify the others are paid up. Also, tell him we want Jay-P to have his team and worse case scenario he can be "unsubscribed" until payment is received. Actually, worse case scenario, I will pay his with my credit card and he can mail me a dang money order. I too am ready to get this thing rolling. TB | |||||

| 143 | skinneej ID: 22235410 Sat, Mar 24, 20:22 |
Vic, I can understand you not wanting my team in the same division as we are also in the same division in the L2 merger. You'll be glad to know that while my W2 team is better off long term, it is a little weaker at the ML level than my L2 powerhouse team. Although, I have won the last two WS in W2 so I guess it's not that much worse. ;) I'm sure Wammie felt the same sick feeling in his stomach when he saw I would be taking the Reds. His Cubbies have been the unfortunate team in the way of my last two titles, although he did knock me out way back in season 3. Since we have the largest division, I expect a war each season and lot's of smack. | |||||
| 144 | Vic Vega ID: 2248176 Sat, Mar 24, 20:53 | Your powerhouse status has nothing to do with it. The team I'm bringing in to this league is much better than my L2 Orioles. I just wanted to give you a fresh start-I'm sure you must be tired of stomping my ass by now-at least, I hope you are :) | |||||
| 145 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Sat, Mar 24, 21:23 |
OK, I offered before to email the commish so I will do it. I will include Jay-P on the list, and I'll send Dr. Ball's info as a backup. I think Jay-P is the only person who paid with a money order, since Drew is out. This is going to be cool! | |||||
| 146 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Sat, Mar 24, 22:19 | I just sent the list. | |||||
| 147 | Brock ID: 371582223 Sat, Mar 24, 22:34 | If we vote to include or not to include Chiz, why don't we vote on everyone? I've only talked to him in GSB mail. I sent him a message saying that he made the league. I feel bad now telling him tat he isn't going to be included. Skinneej may be a better owner, but Chiz was on the list first. This was how all the other teams were picked, first come, first serve. | |||||
| 148 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Sat, Mar 24, 23:07 | Brock - Chiz is in. Drew didn't pay and got bumped. | |||||
| 149 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Sun, Mar 25, 01:08 |
You gotta excuse Brock. He just got back from a month long stay in a rehab treatment facility in Arizona. The good news is that he will no longer be buying crack from Wammie. TB | |||||
| 150 | Drew ID: 54248252 Sun, Mar 25, 02:52 | i wish i could have stayed, but my finances ran out. couldnt get anyone to pay for me, i had a really great team though. wish you all the best of luck, and hope my fellow R2 comrades do well in this league. i will be keeping track, but watch out for those padres, they have dominated R2. | |||||
| 151 | Brock ID: 371582223 Sun, Mar 25, 02:58 | TB - Did you think that one up by yourself or did your team of monkeys come up with it? | |||||
| 152 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Sun, Mar 25, 14:06 |
Are you telling me that you forgot you were on that team of monkeys? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, hopefully you can pull it all back together Brock. Just say no Brother. | |||||
| 153 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Sun, Mar 25, 15:54 | I sent the list via the in-game email. Should I send it through regular email as well? Has anyone ever done this before? | |||||
| 154 | Sanfran ID: 4222279 Sun, Mar 25, 17:15 | It doesnt huurt to do both, just say that you sent it both because you wernt sure which to do. | |||||
| 155 | chiz ID: 582191816 Sun, Mar 25, 17:19 |
Guys- Please excuse my extended absence, but I am currently on vacation in London, and am leaving in a few hours for Paris. I am here visiting my girlfriend who is abroad for the semester and I'm sure you can all imagine how thrilled she is when I want to spend our vacation together checking fantasy message boards. That being said, I have already paid for 6 seasons of the pay league and I am very excited to be involved. I understand everyone's nervousness about my whereabouts, but I will be home in 5 days and will be as regular a user as can be expected. Thanks for including me despite my absence and I look forward to starting, although I'm sure you all have teams which are far superior to mine. And, a special thanks to Brock for helping me out while I was away. Thanks for being my voice here. Can't wait to get started... | |||||

Sad to see you drop out LTA. I guess the pressure of competing with me in the Political Gurus League is getting to you, eh? Ya big weasel. 8] | |||||
| 157 | WiddleAvi ID: 2102389 Mon, Mar 26, 12:23 | BPG - Any news from the commish yet ?? Just wondering what is going on. In M2 we are scheduled to start our next season tonight. From what I read all seasons in progress will be completed before the site goes pay. | |||||
| 158 | Big Poo Generator ID: 14857812 Mon, Mar 26, 13:52 | Nothing yet. I'm wondering what is going on myself. I sent two emails - one using the in-game email and one using AOL. We're scheduled to start a new season in R2 in 2 days, but I really hope we don't play a whole extra season in our current leagues before the switch. It would be nice if the commish would clear things up for us. It wouldn't be that hard for him to post something. | |||||
| 159 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Mon, Mar 26, 17:30 | I just got an email from the commish, and he said everything looks good. So I guess we are all set. He did not mention anything about Jay-P's money order. | |||||
| 160 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Mon, Mar 26, 20:18 | BPG, any time frame from the commish? | |||||
| 161 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Mon, Mar 26, 21:31 | Nope, he didn't say anything else except thanks for saving him some work. | |||||
| 162 | Timing ID: 492382621 Mon, Mar 26, 23:58 |
Yall make sure to check out the league site every once in a while. With the pay site gearing up soon I'm sure PP and I will be putting up stuff pretty regularly. Any ideas, gripes, comments, or whatever would be great. Also, a bunch of us in P2 have made our own team sites and I know BPG has as well. If anyone's interested in it check out some of the ones already made and if ya decide to make one up post a link and I'll make sure it gets linked on the main site. http://www.geocities.com/gsbmergerleague/ | |||||
| 163 | Big Poo Generator ID: 14857812 Tue, Mar 27, 13:30 | The commish says that he will give people a few extra days for their money orders to arrive. He wants to make sure that if you sent a money order, you let him know. Otherwise your team may not be saved. I assume this affects only Jay-P. So Jay-P, if you haven't already, you should send an email to the commish. If anyone else paid by money order, you should do so too. | |||||
| 164 | Shoeless Joe Jackson ID: 332112714 Tue, Mar 27, 14:15 | After much soul searching, I have decided to change leagues. The Commish is going to put my team in a league where they can be the Chicago White Sox. I really wanted to stay in the Merger league, but I want my White Sox more. I know that there are a couple of people who will gladly take the Royals in the Merger league. | |||||
| 165 | Big Poo Generator ID: 14857812 Tue, Mar 27, 14:21 | OK, so i guess Dr. Ball is in. I'll email the commish. | |||||
| 166 | Timing ID: 492382621 Tue, Mar 27, 14:29 | Wow, after a whole month to jump he waits until 2 days after we email our teams. Niiiiiiice! | |||||
| 167 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, Mar 27, 15:02 | Who cares what team you have in here? I can see wanting to be in a division to avoid my team, but the royals are in the same division as the sox, plus they are in the national league, while I am in the NL. | |||||
| 168 | Jay-P ID: 47132140 Tue, Mar 27, 16:24 |
Yeah, I sent him an email, and he said he'll wait a few days to receive the money order. So, everything is fine. He should be receiving the money order this week or sometime next week, at the very latest, I figure. He told me he'll save my teams for the merger, so I guess I'm in for sure now, barring a postal worker strike or some extreme case ;). Any word on when the merger league will go into effect? | |||||
| 169 | Vic Vega ID: 2248176 Tue, Mar 27, 17:27 |
Guys, If Dr. Ball is in, that's terrific. Any chance of getting him in my division? If Skinneej takes the Royals I would be eternally grateful, as Dr. Ball could then take the Reds. I'll defer to SkinneeJ, which is the least I can do seeing as he owns me in L2. | |||||
| 170 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Tue, Mar 27, 17:52 | Commish has marked down Dr. Ball's X Rangers for the Royals. If anyone decides to switch teams with him, let me know. | |||||
| 171 | Dr. Ball ID: 422412717 Tue, Mar 27, 17:56 |
I'm Dr. Ball. Or as I like to call myself, The Guy That Will Dominate This League. I make house calls. And then I clean it. If I'm in the league, that's great. If I can get in Vic Vega's division, that would be stupendous. It would be best for the league too, as then Vic Vega and Dr. Ball won't have a chance to monopolize the World Series. I am currently the Rangers in League X. Thanks for the opportunity to wipe the floor with Vic Vega. Dr. Ball, (Rangers - X) | |||||
| 172 | skinneej ID: 22235410 Tue, Mar 27, 20:41 | I'll agree to take the Royals so everyone is happy. I really have no preference and since I've been the Royals in L2 it is no big deal. I guess it's best since the other five NL Central teams would have been fighting hard for that wild card position. Maybe now teams will be a little more evenly matched and someone else can win the division. | |||||

| 175 | Vic Vega ID: 2248176 Thu, Mar 29, 12:04 | Thanks for the switch guys. Now I avoid the powerhouse of SkinneeJ until the World Series AND I get to slap my buddy around. I appreciate it. | |||||

I wouldn't count out my Cards from P3 Ask the guys from that league, I have an incredibally solid team with a lot of depth and youth ready to play. Doug Glanville 20 OF 493 AVG 172-60 in 3 years as manager isn't bad. Plus I wouldn't count out Taxman's P3 Rangers in the AL Central. He beat me in last years world series. Should be a great league... | |||||
