  1. Surly $50 roto fantasy league still has one spot open:
  2. I added one more to make it 5 on the bench
  3. I wanted to keep it on the small side because the active rosters are so big. The idea is to encourage more free agent/waiver action versus stashing and holding anyone with any value. Open to hearing other perspectives though. Should we go bigger bench but take out the extra IF and OF?
  4. OK I removed Devin. I think I need your email to add you as a manager to Money Beets. You can PM it to me. Also, that puts us back at 11. Anyone lurking this thread or knows somebody, we've got 1 open spot.
  5. So I guess @Derka and/or @henrygandorf is Devin? Are y'all doing a co-manager thing again this year?
  6. well that makes sense I suppose
  7. which team are you? I'm making a list are you in the ESPN league? what's your team name?
  8. 2 spots left... Does anyone have strong thoughts on daily vs weekly transactions, and Saves vs Saves+Holds? Leaning toward daily and Saves-only right now but I'm open to being persuaded. Payment info is in the ESPN league message board. Payment is due by the draft. I'm not gonna worry about getting people to pay up during/after the season.
  9. Hell yeah. The invite link is in the first post of this thread. Recapping the current state of league recruitment: 6 currently in the league and ready to rock: @tokamak @castolon @hornmpa96 @VolenteHawk @Scraps @UTHornFan014 @henrygandorf + @Derka, @Capn81, @txhorns, and @Doc Sam Beckett have all indicated they're in but still need to actually join the league. That gives us 10. I'll PM the league invite link. @Butch Had Not is a solid maybe. That would bring us to 11. We cookin'. Let's get 1-2 more and get the ball rolling.
  10. I think you hit the nail on the head with this paragraph. If I'm a casual fan and I just want to watch soccer, and I don't care much about the teams involved, I'm going to pick Premier League, etc every time over MLS. They've got to get people invested in their local team. So in light of the fact that the networks and ESPN are not clamoring for a bunch of Nashville-versus-Salt Lake City MLS inventory, I think the Apple deal is fine. $100 one time to watch every game of my beloved Houston Dynamo, plus whatever else games I care to watch for the entire season ain't bad in this day and age. No blackouts, no bullshit. Clear, simple. I don't have to go hunting for tonight's game or have multiple services. The NFL is starting to walk down this road and it's going to bite them in the ass eventually. I have to have the networks, ESPN, NFL Network, and now Amazon and Netflix to watch NFL every week? Nah, fuck that, I'll just do something better with my time. They need to communicate better that you don't need to subscribe to Apple, I'll give y'all that. But this is just an MLS-specific streaming service that you happen to click Apple's app to access. MLB's TV situation is a total disaster in comparison. I'm not an NBA fan but I doubt it's better.
  11. New That Mexican OT. Not sure about his choice of wardrobe.
  12. Ozzie Albies fractured his wrist last year and missed exactly 2 months. I'd assume it would be a little longer for a pitcher. So probably not until June for Gray, realistically?
  13. Couple items for discussion on league settings Do y'all want to do Saves or Saves+Holds? Daily or weekly lineup changes? We've done daily in the past but weekly might be a little more chill. I don't mind daily but I know some people don't love the grind.
  14. Yeah it’s roto. We’re shooting for 12 but just to be honest with you we may not get there. I think you would make 10.
  15. Jon Gray has a fractured wrist per Evan Grant.
  16. I got Winner 7 Loser 8, which doesn't feel very good but did cash a sweet 16 game last year apparently.
  17. Jesus dude you just gave me heartburn and the tournament doesn't even start for like a week edit: when will we know our numbers?
  18. fuck it, i'm in for a square. Just signed up. Sending payment in a sec
  19. Lil Nas X has released a new song every day this week and they range from "pretty good" to 🔥🔥🔥. Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: I think I like Monday and Friday best.
  20. I haven't but it's caught my eye this morning. Quite a few of them at attractive prices on the used market. May have to check it out.
  21. I still like his music but you're not wrong and that was kinda my point. He's at risk of overexposure by releasing an album every 6 months or whatever.
  22. New Charley Crockett out today. This guy just absolutely churns out music.
  23. What should I buy y'all? Need to buy by June but I'm trying to accelerate because I'm worried tariffs are going to fuck me. Budget is $50. I actually don't care as much as most about range and charging speed because this will be a ~50 mile per day commuter vehicle charged at home in a garage every night. I'm in Houston so no concerns about cold-weather performance. So far I plan to look at the Hyundais and the Mustang Mach E. What else? Seems like there are a fair amount of both M-B and BMW on the used market. Anyone know anything about the Chevys? New or used? I've never bought a used vehicle in my life, but not opposed to it.
  24. Right now I see myself, @Scraps, @castolon, @hornmpa96, and (I think) @UTHornFan014 in the league. @Derka/@henrygandorf, @Capn81, @txhorns, and @VolenteHawk gives us 9 with still some time left to recruit. Y'all get in the motherfucker. I may risk bannination by immamac and post this in the football recruiting thread. I tried to send Volente an email from our last league page. He said he's down but doesn't really seem active on Surly anymore.
  25. Seems like we have several folks who are against AL/NL only. We're gonna keep it full league or not at all. 8 teams minimum to be a go. I'm really hoping to get 10 or even 12 if we can. I'm OK with non-Surly people if no one else objects. Also recommend we move discussion to the Gambool thread just so everything is in one place.
