So I got force invited to a group last year by someone I went to high school with. Whatever, the group posted maybe one message a month so I ignored it. Yesterday it 'merged' with a group trying to push "eco-resorts" and my wall was inundated with messages about things like a 'green' resort in Bora Bora. That's nice, is everyone taking a sailing ship to Bora Bora? No, they're jumping in a jumbo jet which uses as much energy as a small city when it takes off. You'd have to be a retard to buy into something like that (read: Hollywood celebrity).

i could really go for either a car or some weed right now, sadly both are unattainable atm

Fuck yeah! Winning my fantasy baseball week 9-0-3 and moved into a tie for 7th place, two games out of the playoffs with 4 weeks to go.

I'm holding on for dear life to the last playoff spot in my league.  Lincecum and the rest of my pitching has failed me horribly, but Mike Trout to the rescue.

How do you play fantasy baseball

There are two main types, rotisserie and head to head. With rotisserie (roto), you draft a team at the beginning of the season and you compete against the league for the following categories: Runs, Homeruns, RBIs, Stolen Bases, Batting Average, Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA and WHIP (wins + hits divided by innings pitched). If there are ten teams in your league, you are assigned a point based on your current rank, so if you are 1st in runs, you earn 10 points in that category. If you're 3rd in homers, you earn 8 pts etc. Most points at the end of the season wins.

For head to head you compete against one opponent every week and are assigned a won-loss record based on how many categories you win in a given week. The last four weeks then work as a single elimination playoff for the top teams in the league. Whoever wins the tournament at the end is declared the victor. Top prize in my 14 team head to head league is about $1000.

Generally your team carries 1 catcher, 1 1b, 1 2b, 1 3b, 1 ss, 3 of, 2 utility slots for whatever you want to slot there, 3 starting pitching slots, 2 reliver slots, and 3 whatever-pitcher slots, with 5 bench slots for players you want to rotate in on off days or who deal with platoons etc. There's a lot of strategy involved. At the beginning of the season the league conducts a 23 round draft and you choose whichever players you want that are available.
