My sister's gonna play with us. She's a lot smarter than me. She's an Elvis fan as well!

Yes there is. If I lived in South Hants I might join the South Hants British Koi Keepers Society -

Looks like my little brother has joined under the name Brass Bonanza. He could be trouble.

Nearly $30, but I'm sure it's worth it. Did you click on recent photos? The last meeting looked intense; I'm guessing those are actual club members unstacking the chairs.

moody thinks i'm a control freak, so lack thinks i'm pushing you around with sweetness plus he hates pitchers, BWAP likes to punish himself with homers allowed and digs total bases cause he was born in the 40s, blue ain't talkin', and goody has seen the light of my genius. how's dat?

Let's put it up to a vote - runs until Friday.

If I have this right, current stat categories are...

Batting: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP

Pitching: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Proposal is to change it to...

Batting: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, Total Bases

Batting: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, Home Runs Allowed

Yes or no?

Commish votes yes.

Personally I don't really care - that's why I haven't commented yet.

And anyway, why do we get a vote? Is this a direct democracy, mob rule as it were? I thought this was more of a republic, with the Commissioner in charge because we all decide he should be, and with the mandate that he should make decisions for us.

Can I vote 'yes' on HR's allowed and 'no' on total bases?

Sure. We could do it that way, I guess.

It's never easy, is it?

I'm trying to run a benevolent dictatorship here. Maybe I should just go Idi Amin.

I'm kidding. Seriously, whatever y'all want to do is okay with me. I hated the errors category, mostly.

so lacklustre · Post by **so lacklustre** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:23 pm

no to total bases, that would even up the cats

yea to hr against pitchers

when will the draft be?

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:24 pm

Don't know yet. Week after next? Does that give everyone enough time?

How does March 25 sound?

I can't actually set the specific date. I can only set the draft status to ready, then it automatically takes place over the following 24-48 hours. So if we were to agree on March 25, I would set the league status to "Ready" on March 23.

Can we find two more people?

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:50 pm

I asked wardo if he wanted in again, but we may have spooked him off.

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:08 pm

23, 25, any day is okay with me.

GO IDI GO!!

sooner, do it this weekend. i need something to look at. we don't no more stinkin' people. i'd rather have people who play. change the team limit to 8.

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:48 pm

I've invited someone to participate and would like to wait until I hear back from him. If he does join it would bring our Mariners fan count to 1 and our Yanks abroad contingent to 2. He's currently fucking about at the SxSW music festival, so I expect to get a response in between drunken bouts.

I have polled the Nerdlingers' manager, and she votes yes on the proposed changes, but would like to add that she defers to the best judgement of the Commissioner.

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 6:49 am

OK, time's up. Looks like we have more votes for than against. I'm adding both categories - total bases and HRs allowed, and will be setting the league's draft status to "Ready" this weekend, barring any objections. Looks like we will not be adding any teams.

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:35 am

ok, i'll protest. i think you had a split vote on total bases. i vote no. unless you take obp out. too many catagories. too much dumb luck involved.
