Gaslamp Ball Fantasy Baseball League is a GO

PrintThe Invitations have been sent out. The rules are being laid out as we speak... Gaslamp Ball's CBSSports.com Commissioner League is up and running! You could always get your own league, or you could follow along with us.
Now here are your contestants and I believe I am looking for two more:
1. jordan_ming and sdsuaztec4
2. TTG (yet to confirm)
3. Axion
4. Wonko
5. Section135 (yet to confirm)
6. JBRO
7. onthemark
8. Padres_Hobo (yet to confirm)
9. Wes (yet to confirm)
10. whithd3 (yet to confirm)
We've had one invitee chicken out. I won't say who it is, other than to say he or she chickened out and I'll leave it at that.
I've also turned on multiple owners, but from what I can tell I have to manually add the second owner myself. Let me know if you have an invite already and a co-owner in mind.
Also, can you not change your team names? If you want a different team name, let me know what it is.
In other news, as commissioner, I have to be an owner, but I'd rather be more of a figurehead than an actual owner. If you would like to manage my team, please let me know.
OK. That's the logistics. I have not set a time for the league draft yet nor have the custom stat categories been finalized. If you still want in, there's still time! Let me know in the comments. If you want to co-manage a team, then you have the list of Gaslamp Ballers who can grant you that wish. Don't be shy. Now's your chance to meet someone new.
***BONUS***
Also, the winner of any league that signs up through Gaslamp Ball will get a FREE T-SHIRT! Now, this is something super crazy exclusive because SB Nation is going to spring for the tees and they will be based on the Gaslamp Ball logo, which is something jbox and I have avoided offering because we like things to be obscure and unadvertised properly. If you sign up for your own CBSSports.com Commissioner League, the winner of your league will get the t-shirt. I'm sure I could work it out so that the commissioner of the league also gets a shirt, but we'll see.
So sign up now! It is the bomb.
OK. Give me a bit to figure out this scoring and talk amongst yourselves a while.

Sorry; I suck at checking my email.
I’m about to go to bed but I’ll totally confirm and whatnot when I get up.

Scratch that.
I confirmed it. Also, I begged Jodes to be my co-manager until she finally relented out of pity.

Oh, I just meant that
I went ahead and confirmed it then instead of waiting ’til this morning, at which time I would probably not have remembered.

I would be interested
If there is still room or if you need any more people.
My resume: I won my Yahoo league and my NCAA bracket tourney last year.
-Zen Blade
I need a partner
I’ve never done this before though, so definitely keep that in mind before accepting.
:)
Good, the luck of the newcomer is always key!
Let me know what I should or what I need to do.

Jordan and I already created the account
and we both have the username and password jointy.
Also, yes it won’t let you change your team name.

Um
I’ll have to confer with her on that.

Oooo
Or we could do Team Clayton Richard is Hot!
Nah, I’m just teasing. Whatever works for you is fine by me
You'd have to change Clayton Richard to Matt Antonelli for that to work for Tec.

Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

looks like you're good
but i’ll hop in if you need anyone else
possibly...
I might be interested in that (assuming the above group has no space).
Mostly, I want a league with all active managers. It sucks when halfway through the year when losing managers just disappear… It can really mess up the league, depending on how it is set up.
I think my work has blocked CBS sports. Will try and get signed up today. Been a hectic week.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
I am super amped
Browsing the league page it looks amazing. The only thing it looks like it isn’t customizable is your team name…. thoughts?
We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox
I don't get it either
Do you have a team name in mind, or do you want me to make one up for you? If I make one up, I’m gonna go with Congealed of Creams because it rhymes with Field of Dreams and gives new meaning to the whole “If you build it” thing.

Does that mean Kevin Costner's face can be my team logo?
He’s dreamy.
I would like my team name to be the “Milwaukee Beers” but only if everyone else is being cool and changing their team name. If not, “team 10” will suffice. haha

Can we have daily changes turned on?
- Lineups are set once for the start of each period.
- Deadline is 5 minutes before gametime on the first day of the period.
- Weekly scoring periods, starting on Mondays.
Which means if you somehow miss Sunday night or Monday morning, whoever you’ve left in will be stuck there all week, so say, if you start a player who gets scratched on Tuesday, you’re stuck with him ’til the next Monday.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.

I'll manage a team
even jbox’s if need be… but I’m kinda a Bruce Bochy-style manager… anyway we can draft Ryan Klesko?
I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.
I'll let you manage my team
But you have to do me proud. I won’t get in the way only to give you vague wisdoms periodically like a bespectacled Yoda.
right
dex’s team… that’s what I meant…
also, “vague wisdoms?” is there any other kind?

Can't think of a great name
I’ll settle for “Chilled Jager”
