  3. So far, Phil, Sammy, Wyld Card and I are definite, and Ray has said he'll play if we end up with an odd number of players. I'm not sure if Laurie is interested, but she is certainly welcome to participate. The more the merrier. I've contacted Kevin, Ron, Carl and Carole and expect to hear from them soon. If anyone still has contact with Ben (Rocky Raccoon) perhaps you could invite him to play as well. Once, or if, we reach 8 players I'll create the league and send everyone the link.
  4. I've PT'd several people to see if we can drum up enough interest to run one or two leagues this year. Since the season starts in 3 weeks, why don't we wait until the 22nd of March to see if enough people want to play. If we can't get at least 8 people to play, perhaps we'll have to give it s miss this year.

  7. Speak for yourself, Ray. I'll have you know I was a completely mediocre baseball player in my youth. I was a very good fielder, in the outfield only, however, my batting was another story. I think I actually hit the ball out of the infield once in a complete season. I did however throw (unintentionally) the bat into the stands on multiple occasions. I guess I should have used more stickum on my hands. I nearly decapitated the first baseman once. I also had a bad habit of leaning into the baseball at the plate. It was an effective, if somewhat painful way of getting on base. It's a good thing 10 year old pitchers don't throw the ball with much velocity.
  8. Sorry that some of the videos are mixed up. The Jeff and Mychael Danna song is from an album called a Celtic Tale. Both men have composed music for a variety of film and television productions. The Mary Hopkin song was written by Ralph McTell but I like Ms. Hopkins'version better. I'm sure the Lighthouse song is available on youtube somewhere. They were the Canadian equivalent of Chicago.
  9. Thanks, Laurie. You, Ron and I are all about the same age (give or take 3 or 4 years) and we grew up with a lot of the same music so that probabably explains why we have similar tastes in music. I loved your selections as well. I have a fairly eclectic taste in music so I have included some good old rock and rollers and some quieter tunes that represent my more contemplative side. My taste in music was also fairly heavily influenced by songs that my parents listened to. For this list, I avoided well known songs by popular artists, even though I love them. Part of the fun of belonging to Songfacts is the chance to discover new (to me, at least) artists. Some of the artists I've "discovered" on Songfacts whose songs are now on my I Pod are Fleet Foxes, Alana Del Rey, The Outlaws, Sugar Ray, Passenger and Camel. I'm looking forward to a list from Ron.
  10. Good man! Phil is our resident expert, so he can fill you in on the finer points of the game. However, too much knowledge can be a dangerous thing. The only thing you need to bevwary of is the injury history of certain players like Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Matt Kemp, among others. These players are high risk/ high reward options. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot.
  11. so it's time to put down the stein
  12. Hello, everyone. Is anyone interested in playing fantasy baseball this year? I'm willing to set up the league if there is enough interest. I'm checking into the rules on the espn leagues. I've found that the leagues seem to be a bit more user friendly than the yahoo leagues. But if everyone prefers the familiar, I can certainly renew our Yahoo league from last year. What format does everyone prefer? Or do we want to do two leagues like last year? I'm game for both points and head-to-head leagues, but I know some of you like to stick just to one league. I hope we can get enough people together to make this work. We need to try to dethrone the reigning king of fantasy sports, Mr. Phil. He cleaned our collective clocks last year.
  13. Thanks for posting the links to my nominated songs. I'll certainly vote for Phil's herb Alpert nomination. It's on my Ipod playlists.
  14. Fool If You Think It's Over - Chris Rea (1978) Peaceful World - John Mellencamp & India.Arie (2001) Don't Pay The Ferryman - Chris De Burgh (1982) Can someone please post the links to these songs, por favor? Gracias.
