hey there, my name's mike. i'm pretty used to fantasy sports, particularly fantasy baseball, as i've been playing various sports for a few years now. i'm a friend of eddie's and that's how i found out about this league, it's a part of his attempts to get me to become a blackburn fan. i'm sure it's pretty obvious, but i'm a red sox fan, so i think this year will be a good year for my real team, hopefully my fantasy team as well.

Schilling me softly and Redrose49er Welcome to the game, do you know how its going to work? plus introduce yourselfs let us know who you are! I'm Roger, 20, from Blackburn and currently a student at Liverpool University in my final year of a geography degree, this will be my fourth year of fantasy baseball. Not too sure how this will work, followed the 07 game a little after I missed out. Have played Yahoo for a few years with mixed success, won the BRFCS Fantasy NFL competition this year, doing much better than Alex Smith and Co! . Follow baseball a little bit, not a particular team, saw 3 games in the summer, at Yankees (thankfully the Tigers did them) and at Giants x 2. Lived in Ewood for 20 years but moved away almost 10 years ago (I've just realised that!) .

Welcome guys. I'm a Dodgers fan, as is nemesis. Although I have never been to Dodger Stadium, but have been to Shea Stadium to see the Mets vs. Pirates.
Used to root for the Red Sox, but since you started winning I'm finding it harder to support you guys! So have resorted to following the Devil Rays or Rays as they are now known as my plucky, under dog team! Saying that the Dodgers haven't won anything for 20 years! Maybe I shouldn't support anyone

I'm Graham, 40, from Dundee, and wicked rumour states that bluejays is my brother, but it's all lies and hearsay. I've played fantasy football for years, winning my league 3 times in the last 5 years (and leading this year), and have been hopelessly addicted to fantasy baseball ever since the first year of BRFCS back in 2004. I played 7 Yahoo leagues last year, and likely the same again in dynasty leagues. My Yahoo rating is 73% and I've won 14 trophies in these 4 years. In addition I've finished 3-1-3 from 2004-06 (and would have won in 2004 but for Yahoo being down for servicing, or somesuch nonsense). All this shameless boasting also serves to cover the fact that I finished a measly mid-table 8th last year, so this year I'll be out for revenge. Mwuahahahaha! Oh, and I've follow the NY Giants for nearly 25 years, and the Dodgers for rather fewer. Like Rog, I've never been to Chavez Ravine, but I have been to Shea Stadium ~ on Jackie Robinson Night last April. Chipper Jones hit a two-run homer in the top of the first, and Tim Hudson pitched seven shutout innings. Needless to say, Shea was pretty quiet! Errr, yeah...I'm done.

Or was it Jim Burt smashing Montana? Bloody Giants . Went to Dodger Stadium v Astros in '05, they hit Oswalt out of the game in the first inning . Amazing stadium.

Hi all. My name is Eric and I live in Atlanta. I'm in my early 30s and am a "roving" instructor at some of the local universities. Have lurked BRFCS for years, but do not really engage myself in much of the discussion. Have been playing fantasy sports for a while now, particularly baseball. I will admit, however, that it is on average my worst sport to manage. I was born and raised a Red Sox fan and have made it to Fenway at least once a year since the mid-80s. Living in Altanta, I now find myself following the Braves, and go as often as I can (going to their games are dirt cheap, btw). Cheers,

Or was it Jim Burt smashing Montana? Bloody Giants Ah, the 1990 NFC Champioship is one of my favourite games ~ Lenny Marshall mashing Montana into the turf, LT covering Craig's fumble, Matt Bahr's fifth FG on the last play...suh-WEET. ;D Burt smacked Joe in the '86 Div. playoff, on the way to our 49-3 win - another sweet moment. *conveniently ignores Ricky Watters 5 TD game a few years later*

Hola everybody!
My name's Roddy, username Bluejays for the simple reason they're my team, followed them since 1991 after a trip to Canada to visit with my then in-laws. The wife I gave up, the Bluejays I can't.
I work at the Uni of Dundee. I'm also a New York Jets, Dundee United and Newcastle United fan, so I suffer for my sports to a ridiculous degree.
Mr Nemesis is indeed my brother, and I see he's one spot ahead of me in the draft. This should lead to plenty of fraternal disputes. A good thing, I say.
