Except for I didn't enter last year after winning in 2006. So look out for me!

[Derwood]

my team is a lot different than most other people's, which means i'm either brilliant or totally screwed

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I've pretty much decided on my players, I just can't decide on a decent wild card.

i would lay money that 75% of the people in this contest picked GEOVANY SOTO.

 

but not me

The first game in Japan starts at 5:05 a.m. CST. Shouldn't the deadline to get entries in be the 24th at midnight?

[Derwood]

an amazing amount of people are picking Ryan Howard to hit more HR than A-Rod

[Vanilla Ice]

Can we make transactions before the season starts that don't count against our four?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm still trying to decide on a wild card... :-k

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ooh, pick me!

I would think you can make changes until the contest thread is locked at the deadline by editing your original entry.

I wanted to give people a full week to make their entries. Since it's a full-season contest and we have restrictions on the first & last weeks, I'm not going to worry about the one game before the deadline.

What NC said. If you have any changes to your roster before the deadline, just edit your original post in the entries thread.

As of 10:15 this morning, we have 30 entrants! :)

he has more homeruns over the past 2 years by a decent margin.

Welcome to NSBB!!!

 

Good first post, but don't forget to PM your Wild Card to Laura. :)

 

btw... Tinkertini26 is the future Mrs. Southpaw19. ;)

 

I somehow missed this the first time through the thread.

 

CONGRATS!!! :good:

[Derwood]

dang, i once again didn't do enough research on my WC. Lots of people taking Hamilton, I went with Edwin Ecarnacion. Oh well.

[Laura]

Josh Hamilton came on strong in the later picks.

[Productive Outs]

yeah, i completely forgot about hamilton. oh well -- i'm satisfied with ankiel.

But you still need to fix your Swisher pick.

[Laura]

Dobson PM'd me his corrected picks and I edited them into his entry, so he should be good to go now.

Okay, no problem. When I passed his entry in the thread (while entering WC picks), it was still the same. I'll go back and update my database. :)

[Southpaw191679666239]

We have 42 Derby teams this year.

 

Looking over the lists, I'm surprised no one picked Morneau this year. Might be like when no one picked A-Rod last year. Time will tell. :)

[brinoch]

I'm sticking with the NL only strategy again. I have to handicap myself a bit so I don't make this embarrassing for everyone.

 

 

 

Or something.
