I was watching Darrel Mitchell put LSU in the Sweet Sixteen.

Until that shot, I was sorry I did not make it to Vegas.

After round 23, my BA was at .287

Intersting draft. Some owners are still searching in the casino for more saves. The chasing of saves and the drafting of prospects a round or two early was almost frenzy like.

In looking at the other boards, in every league, one guy normally 12-19 fell big time to late 2nd, early 3rd... (M.Young, D.Jeter, T.Helton, Hafner)

Hafner at 3.8 was sweet.

It was great drafting with Kelly and Terry again from 2005 LV2. Enjoyed meeting Todd, Michael, Richard and Joe Sambito.

Best part of trip for me was Thur nite Tony Roma's dinner with Kelly talking baseball and real estate and then winning $500 at FSTA poker tourney (47 entered) with flop of 8-5-8 as I turned over 5H/8H.

Hope that kinda luck continues for the 100K.

Good Luck to all...

The Loser's are on the way to another fantasy championship just enjoy the ride.

. It's just like in football where Kyle does all the work and you reap the benefits.

It is more like one guy does all the trash talking and the other guy does the work.

Other leagues are talking about their rosters, but I don't see our league's yet. Is this b/c we only had two draft facilitators? Will we see them today?

My guess is they didnt get all the leagues entered yesterday and we just happen to be one of them. I am sure the teams will be on today.

We didn't get all of the leagues entered yesterday but they will all be sent to STATS today. We ask for a little patience but STATS should have all of the leagues online today. Thanks.

No problem, Tom. Just a bit eager. Carry on.

UFS,

I am feeling good that I didn't talk any smack when T. Jones was DL'ed and Orvella sent down. Last we survived having picked Corey Patterson in the 5th round, so we'll have to survive Gagne in the 6th. Thought I could avoid waiver wire closer roulette this year, but I guess not.

Gagne going down does not surprise me one bit. He can't use the roids to heal any longer. Baez was by far my #1 replacement CL this year on my list.
