33 days until pitchers and catchers report (unless you're the Mariners in which case 26 days)

Any chance this year you don't invite those who couldn't be bothered to log in after 6 weeks?

I sympathise, Reg, but it's a tough one - I wouldn't want to be in a position where I had to tell people they couldn't take part at all, but I know it's frustrating when managers 'leave'. I sometimes think people don't remember how long the season is.

I may be a bit naive, but I've always tried to make fantasy as much fun for the part-timer as the more hardcore player, which is why I started a Gentlemen's league for the less driven (Current Champion: Orioles - there's a message there somewhere!)

Maybe we can make the Vets' League selective? I've always left it up to managers (and the slightly higher entry fee) to take care of it, but wouldn't have an objection to making one league an application/invitation only league.

I'll let people kick the idea about and see what everyone says.

What a wonderful thread. I've had a bad day, but Reg has shown me the smallest shard of light on the horizon.

Perhaps if last year's owner of 'Minor Leaguers' requests a place in any league, he could be reminded that making two changes throughout the six month season and only using half of the pitching allowance is a strategy which rarely leads to overall glory.

Can i edit my post? In trying to look cool, I have actually ended up looking like a bellend. It is of course meant to say Auction Champ 2011.

Yeah, G, THAT was what was making you look like a bellend Silly Not the purple crushed velour suit, crepe brothel creepers and 'Free the Bulgarian One' T shirt.

Now, this Werthers/talc offer of which you speak, do they claw the savings back on the Fixadent and adult diapers? I've been caught out before with this kind of thing.

O, Gentlemen's All World Elite League Champeen 2011 - Present

It's always the same people not trying.....AND ****ING HELL MCNABB IS FANTASY BASEBALL CHAMPION. SERIOUS. WTF. BBQ. I didn't need to be reminded this!

Well Dave, the Fixadent does appear to have come up a tad in price but the adult diapers were £1 off a pack of 5 if you use the voucher from Tuesdays 'OAP times'.

Zeeny, I believe this is some kind of parallel universe. Where me and you are straight, Dave is young and hip, and McNabb is awesome at Fantasy BaseballCool

I've been sending him photos of me in my Little Po Peep frilly lace outfit. When the sign up for this year's leagues go up, I'll raise the stakes with my assless chaps collection ... until he rejoins our happy family!
