Well it looks like baseball season is going to happen, so lets do this again!
Nirab took the crown last year, the 7th different champ in 8 years!
While chalking up any delays from last year to COVID, I would like to add a deadline this year....you send 11 sticks, 10 for the overall winner and 1 Super Premium that the leader at the All-Star Game gets. I usually split the final sticks roughly 70-30 to the winner and second place. Lets get all sticks in by June 1 to give plenty of time for the All-Star Leader gets.

I will consider adding players if somebody drops out or if there are pairs so we can keep an even number and not have bye weeks. There will have to be some feedback or referrals to join as we have had non-payers before.
Who's playin'???
IF and only if, there is an opening, I would love to be considered as an add on. If not, no big deal, no hard feelings.
PS GO CUBBIES
Count me in again :biggrin:
I'm in
Count me in, thanks for organizing
Im in
Count me in!
I am IN.
I am in!
sorry for the delay yes i'm in.
Sweet, we are getting the whole crew back together. :dancing:
I restarted the league today, so we are good to go. I set a draft date of Sunday April 3, that gives you almost 2 weeks to set roster order if you want, and still a few days before opening day to settle things out.
Joe, if another party comes forward and wants to play I would be open to going to 12, but I cant do odd numbers because it throws in bye weeks and kinda mucks everything up. So if we know another verifiable Geek that wants to join, anybody let me know.
Any questions?
Play ball!

No problem at all, keep me in mind if someone drops. Frankly I think 10 is the magic number for fantasy baseball, i would say keep it at 10, if someone drops i am around.
Sunday is Draft Day fellas :biggrin:

Does that mean it's going to finally stop snowing here?
Do we have a draft order?
It automatically randomizes it right before the draft.

Stogiedad, I had not realized you moved the due date up from the all-star break. I am in Hawaii and won't be able to ship until Memorial day weekend.

I am also going to be a bit behind and missed the June 1st date. I'll try to get these out this week hopefully but super busy at work with an acquisition and leaving for Indy later in the week.
I will get mine out in the next week or so... :biggrin:
Mine SHOULD go out Friday.......SHOULD
Don't think I'm winning a dang thing this year! My team is injured and BAAAAAAAD!
I said Friday
I meant FRIDAY!

I hope the winner enjoys the sticks. It won't be me!
Thanks to Stogiedad for hosting again.
Cheers

Up's and downs. Win a game, lose 2, pitcher almost throws a no-no then another goes on the DL when his arm falls off...the standard stuff.
One thing I am confident of: I am consistently inconsistent.

I won my first 2 matches. Then lost 5 straight and looked bad doing it. Now won 2 straight and possibly #3 this week. Go figure
It appears we have done it! All packs are accounted for before the All-Star break. I will post a picture of the 10 All-Star sticks that will be awarded this week, as well as the haul the winner and 2nd place will receive ASAP.
There is a possibility of a tie for the ASG sticks, so we will split between best record if that happens. Looks like it could even be a three way tie. But we shall see!
Thanks guys!

Great season so far guys :thumbsup:
Welp, the All Star Game has arrived, and it appears that, what's that? StogieDad is the leader at the break? :biggrin: The fix is in.
Lots of time left and lots of good records, this one is going down to the wire.
Congrats Michael :bow: :thumbsup:
Agreed!
It's a fix!
:?: :moon:
Just Kidding Congrats Michael! Well done!
Here was the All-Star reward. I'll post the overall soon. It is impressive.
Very nice! Congrats on your first half....mine was less than stellar
Congrats
My team just sucks!
Brian
You and I are in a barnburner to end all barnburners!!
If I don't win, i'm pretty much toast for the season. Excruciating!
I love it!!!
:dancing:
Nice Win Brian!
:cry:
Guess I still have a snowballs chance to make the playoffs since the two teams ahead of me lost also
Going down to the wire!
Last week before the playoffs boys!
Curious why I didnt make the playoffs
Tied for 1st in my division but bumped by third place team in the other division with the same record as me.
??? :confused:
I think there are tie-breaking criteria but I'm not sure which ones take precedence. For example, if you lost to the person your record is tied with, or your points total is lower, that could bump you down the standings.
Congrats to Nirab and Stogiedad for making the finals, thought I had a monster semi-finals, Nirab just overwhelmed. Good luck guys!
Congrats to the finalists. Just didn't have the horses this year at the end.
Last week, gonna be a fun one!

Good luck brother! If I don't win, I hope you do!! :biggrin: :shy: :angel: :bigthumbs:
What a way to finish the season!!! Congrats nirab on being the 2022 CHAMP! I chased him down to the last day and we were neck and neck until the last few games went final. I stacked starters and one burned me for -26 which ended up being my downfall. Good strategy stacking your starters earlier in the week! Much less risk on the last day and it paid off!
I have everyone's sticks so I will try and get the winnings out this weekend. Thanks for playing everyone and looking forward to next year!
Back to back no less!

Thank you brother! That was a real nail biter!! I really thought you had it going into the last day. Just goes to show that one decision can make or break you. I have experienced that in fantasy leagues too many times!!
I am grateful to be a part of this league, and of this group. CG is simply wonderful!!
I look forward to smoking some 1st place cigars, and I thank you all in advance!!
Looking forward to next year with all you Cigar Geeks!!
Be well, enjoy today my brothers... :angel: :bigthumbs:
Congrats on the back to back championships Nirab.
It was a great year and looking forward to it again next season!
Congrats!!!
