LDLB has been the Live Daily fantasy league for two years. Yeach year we've had like 8 players. Hopefully by getting word out early this year we can hopefully get more players.

LDLB is a private league based on Yahoo... Or at least that's how we've done it the past two years and without complaint. It's free and it's for fun. No money to pay, no money to the winner. We are all more-or-less amatuers, so there's no need to feel out of your league as a starter. Heck, we're probably a good group for people to play with if they are just starting out with fantasy baseball.

All you need is a yahoo account, or to set one up. A Yahoo account is free. If you already have a yahoo mail account or username, you're already all set.

The system we've used is a semi-live draft, where every "manager" compiles a list of who they would like to draft. The default draft list is the regular power list as compiled by Sporting News, and if you make you list, the default kicks in from where you left off. Once you have your players and once the season begins, it's up to each manager to makesure the players you want in the lineup are there... For instance, if a player has an off day, the manager has to choose how to fill the spot. Trades and drafting free agents are allowed.

So if you are interested, just post here. As the time to start the league comes closer, I'll send out PMs with the info you'll need to join the league.

That was like the day they met. Yod's checking out the new puppy, a long time ago.

Although they would go through the humping motions at times. :eek:

This is my rooting for a Bichon to take Westminster this year. It's the first time in a few years where I can't go and watch the Bichon judging.

Hopefully it's not that dumb dog that claps. :o

J.R. was awesome! He and Thurm both use their front paws more than the average Bichon. Hey could have had fabulous playful puppies if Thurm wasn't fixed. :-\

Okay, the league is set up!

The league i.d. # is 131566.

The password... Should I just put it here so everyone can just sign up if they wish? For those of you returning, it's the same password as always. We are using more-or-less the Yahoo! defaults.

Or do you think Chris I should just put it up here, so people can just join?

I have opinions going both ways on this. I think if it is posted here then more people might be inclined to join. I say post it here, but I leave that decision to the all-powerful commish. :D

All signed up and ready to go. I know it will be an auto-draft, but when is it? I have to get my rankings ready.

Not until there have been at least some pre-season games.
