The Braves lost their Spring Training opener to the Dodgers today, which means absolutely nothing other than the fact that it has inspired me to gather participants for the third annual Syntax of Things Fantasy Baseball League. Once again, I'm opening this up to anyone interested in a little spirited competition. We usually get a few lit bloggers, a music blogger or two, at least one baseball blogger, and a few assorted non-bloggers to duke it out for the title of best fantasy baseball player who registered for my league. If you do want to join, drop me a line either via email or in the comments and I'll send you the details. Remember, it's free and easy and all levels of fantasy geek are welcome.
Ooh, I tried to set up my own league this year and we're stuck at only four players (http://roboball.wordpress.com). I'm going to refer all my players here and request to join myself. As I was #2 last year, I expect to win this year.
But make me one promise: There has to be a ton of smack talk and hilarious, original banter on the league message boards, and there has to be a way to encourage transactions! I think our trade of Smoltz for Chavez last year was the only trade of the year!

LTR, you're in, and all of your league's folks are more than welcome. I couldn't agree w/ you more re: the activity and I promise to do my best to ensure some serious trash talk. I'll contact you soon with the details for you to post at your roboball site.

I'll play... and I'd be able to bring along a friend too... What are you using? Yahoo?

Yep, Yahoo.

Bring it on, nothing is more fun than beating Braves fans (in fantasy baseball, of course).
