Hey everyone, so who brought the lousy weather to New York? Damn.



OK, things aren't so bad outside right now but apparently it's going to get nasty. So here is the plan.



We are not rescheduling or postponing any of our events. We will not be issuing refunds. So this means we need you guys to exhaust every avenue to make sure you get here for whatever auction and/or draft you have signed up for. We are working on a plan for Saturday if need be but we hope the weather cooperates and everyone can make it here.



If you are running into any problems please call me at 917 538-0029. I am in New York and waiting for all of you to come join me. So don't disappoint me, ok?

Hey, I just got into NY this evening about 10:30pm.

No big hassles, only about 20 minutes delayed. Just a slow cold drizzle as of right now.



See everyone at the auctions tomorrow!!!

Pretty interesting how that the bad weather started to arrive just about the time Tom arrived here in New York? Somethings that make you go hmmmmmmmm? LOL Welcome to New York!

Weather was great in Vegas.



I haven't been outside yet but it doesn't look too bad. There's no heavy snow coming down or anything like that. Hopefully the driving conditions are fine. I think that's going to be the main issue if the weather stays like this.



I hope everyone makes it here safely. Again, the best way to contact me with updates is by phone. My number again is 917 538-0029.

I'm coming up this morrning from the maryland/PA border. Driving conditions are below average right now. NY better get ready for some snow. It's a com'n



Wait...

Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Ben Sheets for $1.00



(Just getting a little practice in for tonight!) LOL



I was a little concerned that I would have to pay more but now with Gekko in a ditch somewhere I feel a little better about my bid! ROFL

So, GG, you're in the ditch, but didn't slide there?

Yes. Somebody cut me off and I swerved. I was able to get a quick peek at his license plate...JYOUNG. Anyone know what that means?

There goes my $1.00 bid! Guess I'll have to make a stop the ATM before the auction! I think it is going to cost me a little more money! LOL

I'd like to apologize to those of you in the 4pm Auction League today, at which I was supposed to be the auctioneer. I live about 30 miles outside of Manhattan, and the storm screwed up what is already a not-so-great bus schedule (it takes 1:45 to make the interminable trip, and that's on a good day with no traffic). Tom was very understanding when I called him 3 hours before we were to start to tell him that my bus never showed up, although I can only imagine the curses that must have come out of his mouth as soon as he hit the "end" button on his phone.



Again, my apologies to all involved, especially Tom; I was really looking forward to participating and meeting some of you in person.

This weather in Las Vegas sucks! I got completely burned down at the Flamingo pool today.

You know it semed I had a lot more chicks hanging out with me than fantasy baseball 'experts.' I grumbled a bit about that but in the end I was okay with it.
