My 109 win MDP rip off team got knocked out in the first round against a 104 win equal cookie filled team. All cookie teams are boring.

Do the goons who play both HBD and SLB do about the same in both games? Are there some guys who completely excel at one and not the other?

I make the exact same teams, which is to say I always make the playoffs in both and then immediately get knocked out.

In SimLeagues I have had the best record twice and lost in the first round both times. In HBD I have the best record in my league 2 times and lost in the first round both times. But when I am a wild card I make LCS :shrug:

So, after a few months of occasional goading by Bob Shabazz, I guess I'll give this a shot. I have a few questions though:

1. Which kind of league would be best for someone who's a first timer?
2. I will be probably be going on a weeklong vacation this summer. Will my team be totally screwed if I'm gone for a week?
3. This is kind of related to 2, but is there an iPhone app or does the WiS site work well in Safari? I could probably sneak in some basic team tinkering during said vacation.
4. Bob lead me to believe people with lots of credits will give a free season to people who were interested in joining a goon league. I assume I would be helped in this regard?

I use WiS from my iPhone all day every day and it is fine. A week will not kill you as long as you can check occasionally to avoid fatigue hell. Any of our WiS goon leagues are fine for first timers or you can make an OL (open league) team. Those are teams with no restrictions other than you need 25 men and they have to cost less than 80m.

I have no credits to give :(

And welcome. We always like more goons. :glomp: Also, join HBD you can not be worse than Art :v:

Their site is pretty mobile-friendly, though. I can't say I've ever had any issues on my Droid.

Oh I know but some of the HBD things like roster moves (having to click the tiny checks), making salary offers and searching FA could be vastly improved with an app instead of safari.

But I have 3 year of iPhone development and many apps I have made for the companies I work for, why say no to a free service. They can take my code and if they hate it never use it.

So how dumb is this contract really? It was a drunk/panic signing I made when I was setting my spring training lineups at midnight and realized I didn't have two decent corner outfielders and saw a guy with 94 power available.

I ask because someone out of the blue sent me a trade offer for him and I could get out of the commitment I made. I don't get much in return ( this guy ) but I don't have to deal with the contract!

I wanted to sign that guy but did not want to give up the picks or that much money, you were suppose to let him sit and his demands go down :argh:

I got 05 Addie going in game 6 hopefully I do not even need game 7. Come on first WS championship :ohdear:
