This is one bad-zzz league.



Lance, my man! The #3 pick! Sweet!
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Cool league!



I had my preference 14, 15, 13, 1, 2, 3...etc...but changed it to 1,2,3,4, 15,14...a couple days before deadline.



Good call. :D



Time to plan my attack!

Thanks Kelly, Eddie, Walla, Sir Kings!!! I'm happy to not have to face off with Mr. Gillis and Kelly and Randy and JohnZ and KJ again...but like all leagues...I have my hands full.



After looking over this league, of course Walla Walla, Bjoak, Zola, Bauler "Balla" and Mr. "Dork Dads Convention" ;) stand out right away.



Haney has that every-other-year thing going...so if history repeats itself...he finished top 4 overall or better! :D



Brian is ranked highest in terms of consistency, followed by Lindy, and Sack and but I'll take Terry's $$$$$.



Any Dan from Colorado worries me.



Looking forward to taking a step forward this season. I'm done donating.

I had a great time at the draft. The closer run was brutal. Lance, I really enjoyed sitting next to you. Dan, Matt and the Champ, it was nice to visit with you. Looks to be a very competitive league. Good luck to everyone. Even Zola.
