It's that time of year, and it is a special one. 10 years of CigarGeeks Fantasy Baseball. Congrats to Nirab for going Back2Back and winning 2021 and 2022, our second 2 time champ!
Same rules as always, 11 sticks. 10 for the end of year winner, 1 super premium for the All-Star Break. Everything went super smooth last year and everyone paid, so we are starting on a good note. Deadline on smokes will be Jun. 1.
What would you guys think about adding a little flair this year? We could do a rotating trophy for the winner if we all kicked in about $15-20. Or if you have any other ideas that could be fun this year, throw them out there.

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'???
I'm in! Thanks Michael!
I'm in again.
Can't wait for the season to start up again.
Oh yea, I'm IN.
Scheduling auto draft for the 28th to give everyone time to set order and then a day before Opening Day to set rosters unless someone has an issue.
I'm in!
I'm good for doing something for the 10th year also
I'm in as well. Thanks Michael!
I am in!! Thanks Michael!! :biggrin:
I'm in
I'm In
Happy to pitch in for a rotating trophy!
Yes I am in. Sorry for late response.
Looking forward to a great season
Looks like everyone re-upped! So unless we have a pair ask to join we are rolling here.
Everybody good on drafting next week?

When are you thinking, I leave for Vegas Friday 3/31
So the draft wrapped up last night, what does everybody think? For right now I'm :confused: about my chances.

I'm in the same boat, think I'll be ok :confused:
I'm pretty happy. Light on high end pitching but we shall see. Good luck fellas!
Pitching is a worry. Mostly solid hitters. Not overly confident, time will tell
The start of the season really snuck up on me this year.
Play ball!

I have a player on the IL (drafted that way...very annoying) and another who left the 1st game with an IL possible injury. A few pitchers looked good but this is going to be a tougher year I feel. At least the Pirates are undefeated for you still.

All this hand wringing from the guy who put up the most day 1 points in the league. :tongue:
I was drafted a guy on the IL too and my team underperformed day 1. It's difficult to gauge this early in the season. I figure wins in the first few weeks are luck based. Who knows which guys will break out.

Also because most of my starters went day 1. I don't have a baseball Phd. but it is going to be feast or famine with my squad this year.
Got my butt destroyed in week one. Was on vacation so didn't address my inept team much.
Could be a very looooong season if my pitching doesn't wake the eff up.
:angry:
It's a marathon, not a sprint...good luck y'all!! :biggrin:
Guess I'm playing the wrong team this week. Congrats Stogiedad. I thought I might come back and win today. Uh no
:cry:
Lost first three. Won next four. Who knows how this season is going to go...
Lost my first two in horrific fashion. Wasn't sure I'd win a game this year. Won next 3 and looked good doing it. Now lost 2 in a row. Both tough losses
Hard season to figure out. :confused:
Michael,
sorry for delay but cigars on the way
9405503699300557089496
Chuck
Oh Shyte
I need to get mine out as well. Will bring that thought further forward in my sometimes pea sized brain.
:whistle:
All Star Game is July 11th. Make sure u get your cigars out in time
Reminder guys, the All-Star Game is upon us. Please get these sent to me as soon as you can, I would like to go ahead and send the ASG winnings sooner than waiting until season end.
Thanks!

I can't remember if I sent mine or not... :biggrin: :lmao: :lmao:
Mine sticks are on the move finally.
9505515822563179537884
Should land Friday
Thanks again Michael for running the show
:biggrin:
Every year I plan to send the cigars right away and every year I neglect to do it. Sorry, I will get them done this week.
Thanks for getting this going. I have been out of town and had the mail held so several are at the PO for me to go get today or tomorrow.
Mine are slated to arrive on Friday, just in the nick of time.
Headed out today
9461209205568015338520
Any news??
Sorry for being absent a bit. I updated who I have recvd cigars from on the original post. A couple still showed held at PO while I was out of town but did get picked up so don't worry.
Chuck is the All-Star break winner! Congrats Chuck. I will get you winnings out ASAP.
I am going to send a reminder to the remainder of participants to get theirs out, or we are going to have to start consequences as original deadline was June 1. I haven't been around much so I haven't reminded, but we need to get it done.
If you sent and I did not update, let me know, but I am pretty sure this is right.
Thanks guys.
I sent mine in the week before July 1st.
All but two in. Anyone heard from deener or Kman lately? I feel like we've been pretty patient, but I'm going to have to impose some forfeits or something at some point. What do y'all think?
On a side note, HUGE THANKS to everyone who has sent. It is going to be a fantastic prize pack this year and Chuck has some really nice ones coming for the All-Star winner. Literally everyone sent me a little something too, which isn't required or expected, but SUPER APPRECIATED. Thanks!
Deener is in contact we are just down to KMan.
Sorry for the delay gentlemen. Dropped off at the post office today, will be on their way tomorrow. Tracking: 9405 5036 9930 0585 9172 80
Sorry for the delay, mine are also enroute. Dealing with a ton of stuff here.
Thank you gentlemen, looks like the last package is out for delivery today and we will be flush. I will get Chuck's winnings out ASAP, and the playoffs are looming in September. Looking forward to a furious finish!
Right now the bracket is Chuck, myself, Kent and Brian. But Daniel and Kerry are within striking distance with a good finish. Good luck everyone.

You're too much for me this week Stogiedad! I threw up a Hail Mary but alas, it fell INCOMPLETE! Best of luck in the playoffs.
Good luck in the Playoffs fellas!!
I couldn't quite hang in at the end.
Good first week of the playoffs. Good luck fellas!
It sure looks like Chuck can't be stopped.....
But 3 days left, rest for starters, new guys filling in, who knows what could happen in a weekend.
Good luck fellas, I enjoyed the season. Already looking forward to 2024...
Still time. I can't say I'm comfortable with the lead.
Thanks for organizing the league again

Congrats Chuck! Took the All-Star Break and the Championship! A season well done. I will get the prizes packed up this weekend and out.
Hope everyone is back next year!
Thanks Michael. I had some studs batting and good overall pitching. Losing Urias I thought would really hurt but didn't seem to. Fun season. Thanks for running it. Looking forward to 2024

Congrats Chuck. A season well played. Got off to a bad start this year and couldn't recover in time. Really liked my team at the end of the season. Oh well. Maybe next year.
