ESPN's Baseball Challenge
I play this game every year. It is one that you build a team on a $50 mil budget. The game is free and I have created a public group called "Opie & Anthony on XM 202".
Come join me and let's have some fun trying to get on the leaderboard as I was for a short while last year. Let's try to create a dominant group.
If you join, put "O&A" in front of your first team name. If some of us dop get on the leaderboard, it creates curiosity as to what it means and people will go to the group site to see what it means.
This is what my team looks like for the first game of the season so far:
Roster for Friday, Mar. 25 Season Totals Value
POS PLAYER, TEAM NEXT OPP. AB R TB RBI BB SB PTS PP7 PPG CUR CHG
C Jorge Posada, NYY BOS, D. Wells 449 72 216 81 88 1 458 0.0 3.3 4.7 0.0

Here is the link to the front page of the game. If there are any questions, I-and I'm sure others have played this game-can help each other out. I have links to the stadium configurations, projected gameday weather reports, etc. so we should be able to do fairly well. There is a group bulletin board there as well so we can leave each other helpful hints and such.

I, sir, am that waterlogged fetus. Are we competing against each other or what? I wasn't exactly clear on that. Either way, Good luck.

Thanks for joining my friend. We are competing against each other within the group as well as trying to get on the leaderboard(I finally made it on last year). The game plays in halfs. I hope we can get a few more people from here. Good Luck to you too.

Dammit, my team name is retarded. I think I filled out the form wrong. I'm gonna try to leave the group and create another team "dersretss0" signing out.

Don't know if you guys that are in realize this, but to be competitive, you have to change your roster daily. It does you no good to "lock" players in for the most part. If you get a player on a hot streak you can stick with him for a little while but.......

Don't sweat it. It's only been 2 days. You can more than make up ground.

I'm not worried about making up ground, I'm just not much of a go-getter... that seems like a lot of work...
