Here are 2 things that are probably true.

1) That Mathew Shepherd is a fine gentleman.

2) That he has done something to upset the fantasy baseball Gods. When you are stuck in between Childs, Kenyon, and Norred.



I wish I could have avoided a league with my pals Neal and Charlie but like what the 5 spot has to offer.

Where/When is everyone meeting on Thursday?

Where/When is everyone meeting on Thursday? [/QUOTE]Great question. We can all meet at the Bellagio sportsbook, but it will be JAM PACKED!! I tried to reserve a table and my fine host there said all tables are reserved by "high rollers" years in advance. I had no chance even with all I'm spending over two weekends. Let's all find a place to watch together.



Kent, Andy, Chris, Shawn, RT: Where do we meet up in the morning? Someone put a travel plan together and I'm in along with Dennis.

Are these also the draft orders? Or just the league member list?

Where/When is everyone meeting on Thursday? [/QUOTE]I think we could probably come close to writing each other's draft plans anyway. Everything is fluid right now. I do know that we will be getting together. I also plan on eating with you and Charlie after the auction. It is kind of a tradition.

Why don't we just make a dinner reservation for 12 on Thur night somewhere off the beaten path a bit and the first 12 that can make it. I am going to assume Dan, Andy, Chris, Neal, Charlie, Greg, Shawn, and Rick will all be there. Correct me if you have plans and if you want to go to dinner Thur night PM me please.

The hotel sports bars/ lounges are typically quieter and usually a close distance from the sportsbooks. All of them have many TV's near tables to watch each game. Just an idea. Every sportsbook is packed. I went to several last year... MGM, Monte Carlo, NY NY, Aria and Bellagio. Packed was the word inside the sportsbook, but the sports bars/ lounges appeared to be far more accessible.



I'm staying at the Mirage and planned on going that route based on the feedback that I have heard about their sports bars.
