The league name is Band of Brothers. It's 5x5 Roti, autodraft, 12 teams, and no pressure. As of now, there are 9 open slots, but it's open to the world, and they may fill up.
This is a busy Summer and I haven't been very chatty in FRFLB-land.
I have heard somethign very sad but utterly glorious, from cherry_bomb88. Greg Summers, sultan88, has passed away in the last day or so, I believe of kidney failure. He is survived by his wife and two adult children, one of which is in FR.
His page - http://www.freerepublic.com/~sultan88/ - relates this sentiment: "'Never send to know - for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.' From my favorite poem by John Donne"
The bell tolls for us, Greg.
Greg had a strong life's testimony of his acceptance of Christ, our saving, personal, so loving knowledge of God. That is of surpassing comfort to his family and to us. I see that Greg was hanging back with the #1 waiver position in the FRFLB, maybe hanging back to grasp a top pick -- a gifted, promising newcomer up from the minors, full of hope. Instead, that's what he has become, in Paradise.
Please pray for Greg's loved ones. We miss him too.
I'm very sorry to hear this. He picked up a new player in the league just a couple of days ago. His family will be in my prayers.
So sorry to hear that. Praying for his family. As ill as he was his team still thrashed mine.

Here's the link to FreeRepublic Federalist League Baseball 2005, boys and girls(?) aka "Sultan League" this year. You're invited... join if you've got the time and desire to make it through the year. Ping anyone else you know, but FReepers only (and maybe Sean Hannity):
http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/51318
So, what happened last year, again? ;-) (Sorry, I got a bit distracted with the general election campaign and some writing I was doing for IllinoisLeader.com.)
TWO RULES:
1. Capitalize first letters in a "traditional" name (Geographic name, then nickname, e.g., the "Algernon Sidneys" must be from Algernon).
2. DEPORTMENT. Be a good FReeper, don't flame or use nasty language, don't dump out your roster, and so on.
You have a FReepmail with the password.
