No Idiots Allowed Fantasy League

A couple of things:

1. All this time, I've been meaning to ask--what does INF mean as a pitching stat?? It shows up under k/bb.

2.  BYH, condolences on the Mike Cameron thing.  If I was a real player on your team, I'd petition Yahoo to remove me from your roster.  I think there is a curse of some kind.

3.  Football draft coming up, don't forget. Check league page for date and time.  Watch for upcoming discussion on any possible rules/roster changes. 

4.  I think we should keep this thread as the official NIA/Everything place, I will change the title accordingly.

 

It means infinity. Your pitchers have given up a walk or two and not struck anyone out.

Much like a pitcher who gives up an earned run without recording an out.

 

Infinity? That's it? That's what Boom said, I thought it was too obvious. Why not just put 0.00?

 

It's really not 0.00 tho.

We'll use the ERA/IP as a good example.
If Ugueth Urbina gives up a run and doesn't get an out, his ERA can't possibly be 0.00 for that game.

If Jeremy Bonderman doesn't give up a run, his ERA would be 0.00.

 

Actually, I think the INF is the opposite of what goony told you. I think it's a positive stat. I think if you strike out a batter (or several) without walking anyone, you get the INF. For example, if Chris Carpenter pitches a complete game (hi, hokie) and strikes out six batters, but walks none, his K/BB is INF. However, if he walks one and strikes out none, his K/BB is 0.00 because he has zero strike outs to compare to his walk to.

I say this because I've trailed in the K/BB stat at times when my opponent has INF after one day.

 

Well, the league is wide open again. Podsednik is on the DL and now I can't count on that SB point he gave me every third week.

 

Story of the year: the Flailing Peepees/Summer of Hokie/Abe Vigodas/Iron Underpants fantasmatron of ChrisL, who looks to have burrowed his way into the playoffs. Impressive, considering a couple of months ago he was 344 games out of first.Come back, ChrisL.

It's not over yet. The Fnords may have one last gasp in 'em. Three games isn't that big of a deficit to overcome. This week, we've got to treat Ponson's Legal Team like Sidney treated that judge in Aruba.

 

If I were a trash-talking dweeb, I'd point out which team was the first to 150 Ws, the last to 100 Ls and the first to get a funky little asterisk next to the team name.

But that would offend the karma gods and send 10 players to the DL.

So, instead of doing that, I'll just acknowledge my unbelievable luck and hope Buck doesn't beat the crap out of me this week.

One week to go before the playoffs.

 

Three teams within 4 1/2 games of the magical sixth spot.

Been a good, competitive season all year long.

And just wait for football season.

 

Yup, pretty good league this year. I think only two teams are completely out of the running with one week to go.

The Has Beens are Uncle Rico fans this week. If Summer of Hokie gets roughed up, the Has Beens slip into the playoffs.

Sooooo, who's offering a good NFL NIAFL draft pick for me to either tank it or crank it?
