^^^^^ You two cheap bums!! lol :2up: :goodjob: J/K It's really a fun league, but $65 is steep if you think it's a yahoo league. It's really in depth, you have to know baseball,minors, ect.

But if one of you change your minds, lemme know. I expect this last team to be sold soon tho. The owner of the other team, was out, then changed his mind, tho he's on the Palmetto City Counsel here where I live.lol

He was really new to fantasy baseball, but he seems to have caught the fever now.:yes: :goodjob: .....Vegeta
