@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

I didn't like the deals I was being offered. Plus, this works so differently than the football thing that I am sort of lost. How many points should I expect from each player? Who do I start? FUCK!

Im just waiting to see how the action plays out. I think we got teams reasonably close to what we wanted.

My team alone constitutes about 90% of the league's transactions so far, so I'm probably the least qualified person to answer this question.

Well, I've been shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic with my shortstop and my catcher and free agent replacements but Lord knows if it has done any good. I suppose I can't know until I actually figure out how any of the scoring actually occurs and so on.

I tried to get three players I wanted, all trades were turned down.

They were mainly cosmetic moves, I am pretty happy with my team.

Well, I got a two-fer tonight.

By smearing Carpenter into the ground, the Mets won AND left me with a tiny lead in my first week of fantasy baseball because... Carpenter was the only guy on either of our teams in the Mets-Cards game.

So that was pretty goddamn awesome.

I don't have any Mets or Cards on my team, but I was still super excited for this game. It is the first of the season, after all. That enthusiasm gradually waned with every nugget of shit that plopped out of Joe Morgan's mouth. I made it through about three innings before I had enough and turned on the xbox 360. I'll watch the condensed game later on mlb.tv.

Haha, whoops. I just realized I have Chris Carpenter on my team. Well, this is a fun way to start the season.

Is there any thing we need to do with our rosters?  Like, do I have a starting 9, or do all of my players play?

I would imagine that the bench players do not play, seeing how they are... well, on the bench.  Otherwise there wouldn't be much point in having one.  I don't know if the utility man plays or not.  Is that like a DH?

I also have no Mets or Cardinals, but for the first week I am facing Pujols and Rolen, who went a combined 0-for-5 today, so I'm pretty happy too.

What about pitchers?

How do I move a person from the starters to the bench?

I think you just swap the guy in the P slot with the guy in the SP slot and hit submit changes? I'm not sure, really. It could be that the P's are just any kind of pitcher you want to keep on your roster, regardless of starter or reliever designations - all of whom count towards your points.

Watching the Yanks-Rays game on ESPN right now. Sure glad fantasy baseball doesn't consider defense because A-Rod and Jeter both have errors and it's only the second inning.

I'm the top scoring team at the moment, despite my defense acting the fool and 2 on the DL. I predict this victory will be short lived.
