CAG League 2.0 World Series Champion


Los Angeles Dodgers - cdrw123/humanoidtyph0on

Hello and welcome to the second coming of Cheap Ass Gamer League Baseball!

Opening Day is finally upon us! This league will last 16 weeks, with participants playing one game each week. This post will be keeping track of standings, weekly schedules, and pitching rotations that will be used in-game.

It is each player's responsibility to contact their opponent for the week to arrange a time to play. Games not played before the week is up will be decided by an arbitrary coin flip. Schedules are randomly generated by the game and no favoritism will be shown in any manner.

To see the "official page" for the CAG League 2.0, check it out on "MLB 08: The Show"'s main site, here

I recommend that you read everything included in this original post so there are no complaints about missing any rules.

Pitching rotations will be used, so you will have to use your ace for your first game, #2 starter for your second game, etc and so on until you start over again for your sixth and eleventh games. You'll go through your rotations three times through the season. Playoffs won't have this restriction, so you can use your best pitcher at your own discretion. If you'd like to change your rotation, please post in this thread and I'll update accordingly. But if you want to put a reliever in at starter, make sure you've got the latest roster and check to make sure you really want to do that. Lineups are free to be changed at your discretion at any time, so take care of those before and during league games.

Don't forget that rosters will change as they do in real life, so you'll have to worry about injuries each week taking out important players like the professionals do.

Each week you and your opponent will need to schedule a time to play. So, you can post here or send PMs to each other to see what time is best. If you do not play your game for the week, a winner has to be chosen, so I'll toss a coin and let luck decide the outcome.

Good luck everyone. Play with respect, play fair, and most importantly have fun. The best four teams over the next 16 weeks will move on to the playoffs to determine the world champion.

Thanks for the invite. Good luck to all.
Keith

Each week you and your opponent will need to schedule a time to play and I believe the home team gets the honor of picking, so you can send PMs or messages to each other to see what time's best, but the league system also has its own set-up for that task, as well. If you do not play your game for the week, I get to decide who wins or not, so I'll probably just toss a coin and make it as fair as possible if it's not down to one person just flaking out on the league. Good luck everyone. Play with respect, play fair, and most importantly have fun. The best eight teams over the next 15 weeks will move on to the playoffs to determine the world champion. *** ADDITIONAL NOTES*** I just figured it would be easier to repost this than try to acquire ownership of the other thread (nyprimus4 seems to have dropped off the face of the planet). Hopefully this will give us a fresh start. 7 of our 12 people have accepted the league invite. We're waiting on DestroVega, V4oLDbOY, ivanctorres, Ultimate Matt X, and melokeith. Once these guys join the league, I can activate it, and get the schedule set up. Come on guys. I'm in this league because I love baseball. Why are you here?

oh... my bad... I'll accept the league invite now..

I'm interested in the Rangers, I'll have to get back to you in a few days though, but put me down as a reserve if possible please.

I'm in,, might wanna PM those other guys

good call, I'll do that now

wow its really stating? Papichullo, just pm me when you wana play, on cag or psn. I'm rpetty much free the rest of the week.

Thank you to the guys who accepted the invite today. 3 guys left and we can get started! dg7md, I've got you as an alternate in case someone drops before we get going.

Come on guys! Who wants a piece of my Dbacks?!? Brandon "Spud" Webb, Daniel "Boone" Haren, and Randy "I'll pitch till my arm falls off because I have no other life skills" Johnson = WIN! Also, you'll cry when the biggest power hitter on my team (Micah Owings) goes deep on you! Bwahahaha

Hey Keith, sorry about not being able to play a game tonight. I don't know what the hell was going on with my connection, but I'll have it figured out tomorrow. It would just randomly disconnect me. And sometimes, when trying to get back to one of the menu screens, it would just freeze on the background, and then it would reboot my PS3 (I hope that's not anything serious, but I'm assuming it's from sensing the dead connection and not knowing what to do). Anyway, I will have it sorted out in time for week 1.

Speaking of which, V4oLDbOY and ivanctorres...come on guys. We're waiting on you. I know I've spoken with both of you privately, but if you actually give a damn about playing, let's get this thing moving.

no problem. Looks like just waiting for one more person now.
Keith

UPDATE: State of the League (and my crappy connection) Address

Ok, well, I went by my ISP today, and told them about my connection. They gave me a tech number to call, and after an hour on the phone with tech guy, running speed test after speed test, disabling firewalls, and running in safe mode, he was finally willing to admit that their modem is a piece of shit. They're supposed to bring me a new one tomorrow, which gives me the hope that we can get the league going by Saturday!

On that note, ivanctorres...you are the ONLY one we're waiting on. You're finally on my PSN friends list, but every time I try to add you to my buddy list in The Show, it tells me "User does not exist". If I can't get you added by 11:59 pm on 7/18, I'll have to look for a replacement.

If anybody else wants to try adding him to see if I just don't know how to type an underscore, his PSN name is ICT_EsqGamer I hate to just veto anybody out of the league, but the process of adding someone to a buddy list and sending out a league invite should be nowhere near this complex. I want to play some ball, and I'm sure everybody else does too. Can't wait to see who my first opponent will be!

i think he is on my list... i'll message him

man, I tried to play a few games last night and people just quit after the 5th inning or so, even when ahead. Just annoying

yeah n8rockerasu i was wondering wats going on with you been signin on and offline like crazy. i live in a dorm so i guess it must been your connection slowing us down lol. Hopefully you can get a net taken care off so we enjoy less lag free games.

N8rocker82- I sent u a buddy invite on the Show hopefully that changes things. Check ur inbox on the show. If not try to send me an invite and see if that works.

Great! Glad we're finally buddies, haha. I sent you the invite, so once you accept it, we can get this thing started. I still have no clue why it told me your user name didn't exist because after I accepted your buddy invite...your user name looks the exact same as I typed it every single time, haha.

And good game to cdrw123. Glad we got a rematch in before the season starts. I don't know what happened with that first game, but I guess if you add the games together, the score was 6-2, haha. Amazingly enough, there was no lag. The guy isn't even coming out to fix my connection for another couple hours, but of course now it seems to be fine. I'm still going to make him give me a new modem though because that crap is unreliable.

Anyway, as soon as ivanctorres joins the league, I'll get the schedule set up and post it on here. Remember, we're using rotations, so if anybody wants to alter theirs (the ones I have posted are current based on The Show's roster), just post your desired rotation here, and I'll adjust it accordingly (Obviously, PapiChullo...you'll have Joe Blanton in the next update). But your ace can only pitch in weeks 1, 6, 11, and 16. Your #2 in weeks 2, 7, and 12. You get the idea... If anyone has any questions or problems, just let me know!

N8-Im in the office now but I will join when I get home from work and the league should be fully functional and ready to go!

awesome man, sounds good!

None of you have ever heard my voice, but it'll be singing TMOTTBG during every 7th inning stretch.

I guess it's a good thing we're using fastplay then! *zing!* haha, j/k!
