So, it's that time again. Since our inaugural season in 2006 I have annually sent out an invitation through a Daily Kos diary inviting people to participate in my free Yahoo fantasy baseball league, oh so eloquently named "Cub Hater's Club 'xx" (where xx is the current two digit year). There's a pretty good response rate each year, and the league continues to fill fairly quickly.

After returning to form in 2010, and capturing the championship for the third time in five years, 2011 turned out to be a disaster. Despite capturing the regular season title - thus getting the #1 seed and a first round bye - my juggernaut of a team was bounced in my second round matchup with the 5th seed. Desperate to recover from my humiliation and shame, "Cub Hater's Club '12" is born.

We currently have nine returning league members (I'm fairly certain this is a new league high), and need three more managers to fill out the league. So if you have any interest in participating you can read the details after the jump.

So it's time to fill out this year's incarnation of the Daily Kos Fantasy Football League.

The last few years I sent out an invitation through a Daily Kos diary inviting people to participate in my yearly free Yahoo fantasy baseball league eloquently named "Cub Hater's Club '11" (or whatever year it was). There was a pretty good response rate, and the league filled fairly quickly. Two years ago I decided to add a fantasy football league to the mix - and while I've had no personal success in the league (I have the worst fantasy football luck in the history of time), it's still been a lot of fun.

We currently have six of ten possible spots filled, so we need four more to fill out the league. That being the case, if you have any interest in participating you can read the details after the jump.

You can find all the details here: Cub Hater's Club '11 (Fantasy Baseball H2H Draft 03/23/10): An Invitation

It's a slightly modified version of this year's Yahoo standard head to head league. Standard being a 5x5 league (5 hitting stat categories and 5 pitching stat categories). Yahoo has added a weekly acquisition limit and an extra UTIL position in the past year.

The best thing is that it's absolutely free. All you need is a Yahoo ID and a competitive spirit.

There's a pretty good response rate each year, and the league continues to fill fairly quickly.

Thus after a two-year hiatus (from winning, not from playing) I returned to form and won the league again last year, despite it probably being our most competitive year yet. So I thought I would go for a repeat. And thus "Cub Hater's Club '11" is born.

We currently have seven returning league members (seems like every year we have exactly seven returning), and need five more to fill out the league. So if you have any interest in participating you can read the details after the jump.

I decided to try something new this year. The last few years I sent out an invitation through a Daily Kos diary inviting people to participate in my yearly free Yahoo fantasy baseball league eloquently named "Cub Hater's Club '09" (or whatever year it was). There was a pretty good response rate, and the league filled fairly quickly. Usually I don't run a fantasy football league, but I had so much fun in the baseball league this year - and the competition was so fierce, I thought it might be fun to try a Daily Kos fantasy football league.

It's a tweaked version of a standard head to head league. Instead of 5x5, it's 7x7 (you can see the extra stat categories in the linked diary above), with an extra DL spot and a couple of extra bench spots. (And I should mention that it's a mixed league (NL & AL players are eligible) league.

And it's absolutely free. All you need is a Yahoo ID and a competitive spirit.

So last year I sent out an invitation through a Daily Kos diary inviting people to participate in my yearly free Yahoo fantasy baseball league eloquently named "Cub Hater's Club '08". There was a pretty good response rate, and the league filled fairly quickly. Due to time constraints I wasn't certain I was going to do it again this year, but decided in the end to continue the tradition (if four years can be called a tradition). Thus "Cub Hater's Club '09" is born.

We currently have five returning league members, and need seven more to fill out the league. So if you have any interest in participating you can read the details after the jump.
