It was at least six years ago, but when I played in the same ESPN league, a trade was displayed at the top of the league page, and everyone had the option to protest it. Once protested, I guess it went to a room full of baseball nerd interns who would give the final decision.
I once played in a football league with a bunch of friends of a coworker. A week before the draft, they moved the draft up a day. I'm sure they all emailed each other to say the draft was moved, but I never knew. I logged in on draft day, only to find out my team was already selected (and it sucked). Then after the first week, one guy traded his 14th round pick for another guys 1st round pick, and the commissioner allowed it. Long story short, I wasn't invited back the following season.

-Pants optional -Drinks mandatory I'll run it by my boss. I've developed a few ideas of what people on this board are like in real life, and one of my images of you is basically a guy who doesn't take shit. If your boss walks in and sees you in your boxers, holding a beer, you say to him, "Well don't just stand there, man, open a bottle and help me decide between Ramirez and Tulowitzki." |

I'm almost positive there will be a chat function, as well as there a message board and a chat room for the league itself. I'm getting pretty amped here.

I'm drawing up my draft board now. I'm putting some sleepers on there. That's my secret to success. I hope that's not the beer talking.

If your boss walks in and sees you in your boxers, holding a beer, you say to him, "Well don't just stand there, man, open a bottle and help me decide between Ramirez and Tulowitzki." That reminds me of my Fantasy Football Draft a few years back. Back-Story: Boss1, Boss2, and I were on a rotation on who bought the bottle of scotch to be annihilated while working late. You could tell if one of them had a rough day if the scotch made it out before 5:30. Our small firm was purchased by a GIANT organization about a month before my FF Draft. A deadline that day prevented me from having enough time to get home before the draft. It was apparent that the only way I was going to be able to participate in the Live Draft was to do it at work. I also needed to continue my Jameson/Fantasy Football Draft tradition. I quickly made it to the nearby liquor store and back to work just in time for the draft. Led to this exchange upon returning to the office: Boss1: What ya got there? Me: Jameson. Boss1: Oh yea, Fantasy Football draft. I forgot. [Pause]...You know, you should really review the new company’s Code of Conduct before you open that. Me: [Blank Stare]…So you want a cup? Boss1: Yea. Boss2 (Yelling down the hallway from his office): Get me one too. EDIT: Have yet another deadline at work. Looks like I may be on AutoDraft for the first few rounds. |

Man, despite my lack of knowledge of baseball players, I'm regretting not jumping on this. I feel the exact same way, but I know very little about baseball, probably not enough to get me past the first round. |

Love the name change, Rust Good timing. I was just contemplating about how silly naming any music genre post-something is. What happens post that? |

You read my mind, was going to change the name to "He's Lump" but I thought the reference would be lost.
