Hi, Erin, welcome to the forums. We're nuts, but we're nice.

Hey guys! Quick question...I've never played fantasy baseball before and for kicks I decided to sign up for one of the free fantasy leagues on ESPN.com. But I'm kind of clueless as to what to do. Have any of you done the fantasy thing before and have some tips for me?

All I know for sure is it involves a lot of stat checking.
I had to smile last night. My summer tv routine has begun. Watch Jeopardy from 7 to 7:30, then turn on the Mets.  Tis a most wonderful thing!

I got involved in a fantasy league with a group of guys from work a few years ago and it was great fun. I'm not sure it would be the same anonymously through a website though.

Oy, it starts already! Six of my eight regulars, plus one starting pitcher, all in various states of rehab/injury. the only two regulars that aren't hurt right now are Wright and Reyes. I gotta hope everybody hits grounders to the left side!

It was so nice to see another Cincinnati Reds fan in this Thread. I often wonder if I'm the only one in the Web, but then I see somebody like my new-found friend from Kentucky and I think, "Yes! There is a God, and He loves me!" Of course, I'm only kidding, gang!
It was my maternal grandmother who got me hooked on the Reds after we moved from Northern WV to Southern WV in 1969. I had kinda half-watched baseball when I lived in the north, but after my grandmother got a hold of me, I was a Reds fan. I remember the days of the Big Red Machine and how they used to run up huge numbers in the regular season, but get beat in the Series (And yes, Bill, I remember the '73 playoffs - Pete vs. Bud). In fact, I can still remember their 1970 starting lineup: Pete Rose (RF), Bobby Tolan (CF), Tony Perez (3B), Johnny Bench (C), Lee May (1B), Bernie Carbo/Hal MacRae (LF), Tommy Helms (2B), Woody Woodward/Davey Concepcion (SS). And speaking of Davey, it's an absolute crime that he's not in the Hall of Fame. He's got one of the best fielding percentages of all time, and yet he keeps getting left out! Gofigyuh! Oh well, it'll happen one day! Gotta run, gang!

Ahhh! Remincing on the glory days! We tend to fall back on those old memories when our teams can't cut the mustard in the present.  see the Indians in the 1990's

And I agree, Dave Concepcion was one of the best. If Larkin gets voted in before Davey does something's very wrong.

All I have to say is I am a little upset that the Brewers aren't doing a better job at keeping Prince Fielder happy. He deserves way more than they are paying him. Attaboy Prince, for sticking in there with the team.

3. Evan Longoria I didn't see the "n" on the end at first and wondered what team she played for.

It will be incredibly strange not getting to watch Biggio this year. I know what you mean. He was there for so long you almost expect him to always be there. I had the same feeling back in the early 70's when Ed Kranepool retired from the Mets. He was the first baseman for as long as I was alive, so seeing someone else there was most strange.

It's just so strange not to watch Jeopardy after Wheel....but such is living in the Central time zone.
