Naturals Win Coin Toss

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

First of all, the main purpose of this post is to verify that the new RSS feed application I just installed on Facebook is working.  If it is, this post should appear in the newly created DTBL group on Facebook.

But while I’m at it, I might as well share the latest DTBL News.  Last night, Mike and I did the coin toss to break the tie between the Naturals and Darkhorses for draft position.  As you may recall, not only did the two teams tie for the league championship, but the first tie-breaker criteria also failed to break the tie.  So it came down to a coin toss.  I wanted to make sure I had another unbiased league member present when I did it, so Mike filled that role last night.  The result was that the Naturals will have the ninth pick in each round of the draft, while the Darkhorses will pick tenth for the fourth straight year.

I’ve been doing some work on the new web site lately.  One of the main goals of this project is to make our league more interactive.  Part of the plan is to tie our league into popular social networking sites.  This is why I created the Facebook group last week.  My hope is to get new DTBL blog entries to show up in your Facebook feeds, so you won’t even have to go to the league web site to see the latest news.  Similarly, I have decided to create a Twitter account.  This account will be used exclusively to post DTBL and baseball related information.  If you are a Twitter user and want to start following me, my account name is @DTBL_Kevin, http://twitter.com/DTBL_Kevin.  You don’t need to sign up for Twitter to get the latest updates though.  I intend to set up a live feed on the new web site which will not only display my tweets, but those of some baseball media personalities as well.

Although the full new web site probably won’t be finished for a few months, I hope to give you some previews soon.  Stay tuned!
