Ted is/was a very sad loss. 29G? like you said, mia a lot but a cool cat. my only memory of edjr was that he was running the Giants and then quit after the initial draft when the supplemental balls didn't go his way. pretty typical behavior for him even though we have become internet friendly over the years. 29G apparently was a she who came over to the forum with a wave of women from some other internet message board about curly women's hair. I had no clue. We used to private message back and forth a lot this time of year as I always suspected they needed a bit of guidance with this league. Pretty sure they were here before me though. I was told they also passed a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted February 26 I was not aware 29G passed but yes she came from Naturally Curly website. It was from a back and forth jihad back in the day. TheNewGirl, addict, peenie, et others all came from that timeline. I didn't know today was my FFT anniversary. But I joined all the way back in 2001. And 97% of my posts are probably right here in Homers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted February 26 looking at yahoo history, I don't see a 2011 season. It looks like 2012 was my first year (for some reason I chose the Marlins even though the Rays were available) I didn't even remember there being 16 teams back then. I switched to Tampa in 2013 and then in 2014 the league was down to 14 teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackClouds 24 Posted February 26 7 hours ago, GuardBum said: League started the very first year with 16. Wasn't sustainable. 14 went well for a long time. While it'd be great, I do think a lot of us are in different points in our lives and getting to and sustaining 14 might be tough year to year. My history shows the following: 2004 - 20 teams 2005 - 2007 - 18 teams 2008 - 2013 - 16 teams (I was absent for a few of these years) 2014 - 14 teams 2015 - 16 teams 2016 on looks like mostly 14 teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Ted passed, I feel like Posty came back to give us an even 14 and then when 29G passed, Posty didn't need to return for us to at least have an even 12. edit: 12 teams since 2022.

I never even knew of 29G posting at the geek club, but then again for many years I was a main bored poster only. I think 2022, we all just assumed she no showed but I am almost certain someone at the geek club posted last year about her passing. I don't even think it was it's own topic, I think it was part of another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuardBum 73 Posted February 28 early trade block notification: I have 4 top 25ish exclusive Catchers for those that may be in the market for one.

dcb291 5 Posted February 28 I wanted to see how JV bounced back from his bullpen session yesterday. Reports are good and I don’t think I’ll get any new info before Monday. It’s not an awesome option but based on other injuries, I think it’s the best I’ve got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a surplus of MI types but you also seem ok there, also closers not sure how you are lined up with Bednar, Hader, Munoz, and 4 potential exclusive closers with the Padres to see how that works out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
