Ottoneu 2014

[nymr83]

Ottoneu sounds like a great concept with a joke of a system from what i have read here the last two years.

oh, I'd already clicked off at that point. Looks like it was 3 hours after our slot..perhaps we got bumped from the server or something? I didn't know that was going to happen or I wouldn't have stopped paying attention.

Guess you'll have to fill out the fringes if you want via the waiver wire. I'm not sure what else we can do.

Yes, they could certainly use more dedicated programmers and attention.

I agree. I love the idea, but the interface can be terribly confusing at times.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Stupid interface not only gave me the wrong guy when I searched by name but after I began auction it tells me:

Current Auctions Click 'Edit' and change your bid $0 in order to delete a bid

but there's no "edit" button to be found and changing a bid to "0" doesn't appear to take him off the block.

Let it be known that the current auction for Brett Zawacki is not cromulent and should be canceled unless or until he changes his name to Kevin Plawecki, at which point I'd like to bid $1

[Ceetar]

maybe an edit button this page? (dunno, I don't have any bids in)

edit button might be redundant. hit 0 and submit? not sure if you can un-bid if you're the guy that created the auction.

[metsmarathon]

nope. if nobody else bids, he's yours for $1, wether you want him or not.

[metsmarathon]

i should rename my team the tommy johns. i've already got at least 3 on my roster.

[TransMonk]

This must be the standings of our rosters now based on last year's stats?



I knew this was going to be a rebuilding year, but this makes me feel less positive about my draft. Yikes!

[seawolf17]

END THE SEASON NOW!

2 games were played already.

[TransMonk]

Forgot about those Dodger games. Thanks!

You could at least wait until the Mets gets their traditional Opening Day victory before saying this.

[metsmarathon]

i wish they would get around to putting my clearly injured and out for hte season guys on the 60-day DL already. dude just had TJ. he ain't coming back anytime soon. clear up the damned roster spot already!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Roughened Odor. I wish I'd known that was a dude. He had to have the nick "Stinky" at some point in his life, no?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I bid for the guy not even knowing what he did (he's a second baseman)

[A Boy Named Seo]

Great team name and all (like, GREAT), but I suck at this.

[TransMonk]

It's a long season. Injuries will happen and change the landscape of the standings a few times over.

[Ceetar]

I'm still struggling with remembering to check lineups everyday, particularly the weekends.

Is that a new thing this year?

Weekends? I hear they've had them forever.

[metsmarathon]

eventually, my offense should heat up... right?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm paying the price for my patience with Grandyman. What a complete rate-killer that guy's been.

I'm lacking in power but my main problem has been my pitchers are either sucking or broken. got like 6 pitchers on the DL.

[metsmarathon]

i have 3 pitchers and 1 position player on my payroll (either salaried or as a cap-hit) who have undergone tommy john surgery this year:

patrick corbin (60-day DL)
josh johnson (cut)
bruce rondon (cut)
and
miguel sano

stupid ligaments...

[metsmarathon]

my pitching is doing remarkably well considering $57 clayton kershaw has given me one start in australia, and may not pitch until mid may.

hopefully it holds up...

add matt weiters to the "needs tjs" bandwagon. and poorly-performing reliever sergio santos just hit the dl with forearm tightness. will he give me a cool half dozen?

[TransMonk]

I'd have more sympathy if you weren't the defending champion with a healthy lead again this year. *wink*

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, and you hadn't stolen 2 relief pitchers I'd bid on.

[metsmarathon]

Damnit, second place!

My kingdom for a home run hitter...
