Official GWJ MLB2K5 League Interest/Signup Thread

Hey folks. Sorry to hear about the restes SwampYankee, hope the swelling goes down soon.

My humble opinions:

1. Up the contact level to 90. NO, if anything make the pitching more difficult.
2. Two playoff teams per league.
3. Four playoff teams per league. WHY NOT.
4. DH AL. As much as I hate the DH rule, the AL rosters are built with the dh in mind. Unless we''re doing a custom draft I vote YES

GO ChiSox!

Oh, and a word to the National League teams: Watch Sanjuro. He takes things.

Silence fool! Your cut is at stake.

Pfft.

I''m a commissioner again. I never thought they''d give me another shot after that circus animal scandal.

The graft man, think of the graft!

They never learn. It certainly helps that the owners of that elephant were so understanding of your.. needs.

You know, I thought I had enough propane. I just didn''t account for the headwind.

Ah, live and learn. Live and learn.

Oh it was the PROPANE! And to think, this whole time I had thought it was theoats.

OK Guys. Take it to another thread. You are scaring people away.

Awww... Dad never lets us do anything fun.

Undignified for an AL commissioner, he''s right.

It''d be just fine for the NL.

It''s pretty much Sanjuro''s fault anyways. He always does embarrassing stuff like this.

Well we''re the American League so I guess we should have one but since I was a Montreal Expos fan I''m going to strongly object to that.

Btw I''m surpised no one gave the same answer to questions 2 and 3 yet. I was tempted.

Wow. An Expos FAN?!?! I''ve never met one of those before. I thought they were mythical creatures.

Well, he is a fairy...

Well, you know, fan is a big word. I kinda liked watching a game once in a while and that''s pretty much it, hence the Washington Nationals.

After playing a very defensive game against Certis last night, I''ve been reaffirmed in my stance onnotbumping up the contact slider to 90. It''s a little rough at first, but once we get used to taking some pitches I think it''ll get better. Our game ended up a 5-2 affair, which I don''t think anyone would call low-scoring.

It feels OK at a reduced setting; it''s non-juiced ball era baseball the way it was meant to be played.

Vote No on Proposition 90.
[size=8]This message brought to you by the Committee To Reelect Sanjuro and Buy Him A Roast Beef Sandwich.[/size]

That''s what I been saying. If you people would stop swinging at the first/every pitch, the game will open up for you.

As I''ve said before, I agree strongly with Sanjuro. Play smallball and you will score runs.

I await the final settings, Mr. Arch-Commissioner.

I await a couple more votes. The polling places are not going to be open forever. These old people manning the places have to get home.

Voting closes when I make it home from work tomorrow night around 6:30 central time. If you have not voted, I hate it fo'' ya.

Just set it...but remember...I''m in the league, want my braves...but gone till Friday...do not forget me...or mock me...

please :-0

Ummm at 2-0, the pitcher is BEHIND in the count. The Hitter is ahead in the count. You keep throwing like that PigPen and I''ll keep taking.
