I feel like the novice waiting in the rain outside the Shaolin monastery in a Kung fu movie...

Ha. My bat speed isn’t what it used to be, but I think I can still hit the curve.

I’d take the Griffins back if they’ll have me...

Two openings, btw.

I'm actually in the process of setting up a small league of my own as a way of keeping in better touch with a group of old high school buddies. (Jeezus I'm old.) I'd say, though, that the chance of my new league actually having legs beyond a season or two is about 35%, so I may indeed be jonesing for OOTP again in the near future, in which case I'll definitely take you up on it.

In the meantime, may we all take a moment to remember Ike Phillips, Joel Huerta, Ethan Teller, Ralph Ives, Eneas Reigosa, and J.L. Carrillo. And let us continue to forget Cliff Butter, Richard San Juan, and Chad Schmidt. (Or at least the fact that I traded them away as rookies.)

Nice to see this league still going strong (and lucky that I still remember my login). All I want to know is when I get a rookie league named after me, too...

General Discussion / All is well in the NPBL, and that is good

Just checking in, hoping the Griffs can stay healthy and get lucky this year.

Very, very glad to see some Griffins finally get their due in the HOF -- surprised that Collins made it in, and that Mal Marshall was so close.

Carry on.

League Press Releases / Griffins Owner Steps Down

« on: February 05, 2013, 08:07:23 PM »

Hey guys,

This is surprisingly difficult for me to do, but I'm going to have to step down from the league. I haven't had time for OOTP for a long while now, unfortunately, and yet have put this off because this is such a great league and I keep hoping to find time again. But my Griffs are a sad shadow of what they used to be, and I'm not going to be able to rebuild them properly for quite a while. Is it possible that Chap could find a worthy successor to bring the Griffins back to proper glory?

If I ever find time again and there is a team opening, I'll be back. That's a promise. And I'll still be checking in from time to time regardless. My apologies for having been pretty much AWOL for the past year and my sincere thanks to Rob and everyone for keeping the league alive.

Go Griffs.
Andy

Trading Market / Re: Need an outfielder?

« on: June 26, 2012, 06:18:11 AM »

I've still got two or three too many outfielders -- some real players, with both offense and defense.

Looking for anything that helps my team.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
