BMO update

by BrettJMiller on May 20, 2009 4:38 PM PDT Comment 83 comments

We are starting on Friday. I am going to unpause simulations around midnight Thursday night/Friday morning, so that's when we will start.

Up until Firday, we will be making pre-season trades, and free-agent bids in the sub forums of this Main Forum

Available teams are FLA, NYM(?), and CHC (it's a non LL member in control of CHC and I think NYM right now, and LL members take precedence.)

I'm going to post who is with what team on here to make sure we are filled with LL members instead of random BMO players I didn't notice.

Arizona: Goose
Atlanta: Matthew
Baltimore: aestivalis
Boston: CoachOwens
Chicago N:
Chicago A:
Cincinnati: ejo
Cleveland: Sec 108
Colorado: ConorGlassey
Detroit: seattlebruin
Florida: Slurvey
Houston: Mbad
Kansas City: rlintott
Los Angeles A: Nuss
Los Angeles N: thewyrm
Milwaukee: Fin
Minnesota: tootthekazoo
New York N:
New York A: gborish
Oakland:
Philadelphia: Gomez
Pittsburgh: ness
San Diego: Garces
San Francisco: Robert
Seattle: BrettJMiller
St Louis: acblue
Tampa Bay: Taylor H
Texas: jhmoore
Toronto: kharbaugh
Washington: fuzz

So basically, if I didn't list your name, I didn't recogonize the name you were using for BMO, and what corresponding LL name it was. Let me know and I'll update the list. If we've really just got this many non-LL players in the league, we may have to delay start time until Saturday? Give me feedback and claim some teams, fuckers.

I'm Mbad

I’m playing as Houston, and I don’t post here all that often, but I’ve been a lurker for almost 2 years now. I’m really busy wrapping things up (moving out of college and heading home tomorrow for the summer) but I’ll try to be as active as possible when this thing starts up.

Put you on the list.

How much of a time commitment is this per week?

I’m intrigued, but I’m also trying to get my LL addiction out of my system by the beginning of summer.

We're currently scheduled to sim 30 games per every real life day. So you can look over your roster and post in the forums, make trades, etc., in your downtime.

I'd love to give this a shot and I guess I would take Florida.

Any teams still open now?

It looks like I just missed the Marlins.

Chicago White Sox, I believe.

Hey how about milwaukee?

by Fin on May 20, 2009 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Possibly.

They might be run by a non-LLer…

by Coach Owens on May 20, 2009 5:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Ok.

Well, how do I join a team?

by Fin on May 20, 2009 6:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

First we have to kick the guy off of Milwaukee.

So you’ll have to wait until Brett gets home from the game.

OK

Brett, you have gborish listed as the Mets, not the Yanks in the post.

Anyone else having trouble accessing their team?

I’m getting error messages this morning.

Me too.

Same here

Glad to hear it’s not a “work blocking it” problem. I was worried by the “could not connect” that it could be some weird filter.

by rlintott on May 21, 2009 8:29 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Another question since I can't remember where it was posted,

but how much time do we have to set our rosters after Free Agency closes at midnight tonight?

by Sec 108 on May 21, 2009 8:46 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

The sims begin at 9 am pacific time I believe.

That's what I thought, thanks.

I’m an early to bed early to rise guy so I wanted to make sure It didn’t start at 3am or some other crazy ass time since Brett never sleeps.

by Sec 108 on May 21, 2009 9:33 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It shouldn't be too much of a problem for you then.

I’m more interested as to see where all the free agents head off to

I don't care how well he does for the M's...FUCK ENDY CHAVEZ

by Fuzz on May 21, 2009 9:34 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I went through the teams and found the 27 of the 30 teams are well over budget

Just an interesting thing I thought that I’d put out there

I am definitely one of them

I am also.

by Sec 108 on May 21, 2009 9:49 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

And I'm still getting $10M worth of Ben Sheets!

by seattlebruin on May 21, 2009 9:54 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hopefully you can make it up in revenue over the season

I’m starting ~$10M under my budget

by Fuzz on May 21, 2009 10:05 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I've come to terms that my budget isn't getting balanced until 2010.

I’ve got like $45M in payroll coming off after 2009.

Also, if you’re interested in Longo, I’d happily give you the higher rater and bargain value Miggy Cabrera instead.

by seattlebruin on May 21, 2009 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'll take a look at that when BMO comes back online

I don't care how well he does for the M's...FUCK ENDY CHAVEZ

by Fuzz on May 21, 2009 10:51 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Holy balls!!!

Miggy is only being paid $1.69M for the next 6 seasons?!?! Under team control for 2 more years than Longo and $1M less??? I’m willing to open trade talks

I have actually trimmed payroll from where I started.

But I have offered contracts to Manny, Orlando Hudson, and Nomar Garciapara. That trio would put me about $22 million over budget.

by thewyrm on May 21, 2009 9:55 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

How realistic is this sim?

Because with all y’all so far over budget, I want to be Jeffrey Loria and just suck up all your luxury tax payments and field a collection of junk and get RICH RICH RICH!
