"MTM" NY Metro Invitational IS NOW SOLD OUT!!!

[Cobb]

Ha look at those two..the calm before the storm ! lol... Well we know how that will turn out friday...



Hey moderator Saxton - nice tie ! Do you think you can break up the Sack and Anthony pow-wow in order to get their 1st rd pick

LOL I'm a big 3 stooges fan, I've always had a bit of Moe in me for sure! Here's a picture I have in my office at work


It was great to see Sack and Chip. Sack didn't even think Mikey was worth discussing, he's dead money! Now Lowy on the other hand, let's just say he has a special beatdown coming!

[Cobb]

Nice to see that Mikey the Mouth is so busy with all the odds and ends of draft night.
He seems to be more concerned about providing us with a knockout gal, shirts, and
a nice trophy then he is about giving himself a shot at competing. This will surely provide
him with a built in excuse for his in season failure. While you were checking your look in
the mirror, Mikey, Sack of Crumbs were meeting in North Carolina to plan your demise!
My pal Joe has his game face on already! Mikey...........better hit the books pal. Five more
days and you are going to get schooled baby!

What a couple of handsome devils if I don't say so myself This is an example of what dedicated teams do, they get together regardless of proximity to each other, they have a team meal, they discuss options, they put a plan in place, then they reap the benefits It's kind of like the relationship between Steve and his miniature excel spreadsheets...

[Quahogs]

Cracker Barrel. That probably cost you a pretty penny Cobb. I hear from Lindy and Mazur that Sack can put it away. Almost shut down the Imperial Palace buffet single-handedly

Ken called that...it didn't take long! He said I lobbed one up for you guys! Don't worry, we'll have the last laugh!

[Roy's Outlaws]

I think that team looks more like Abbott and Costello practicing a routine of "Who's on First"

Hey Sack,
While you two masterminds were busy tanning together on the Outer Banks and exchanging pillow talk, I was busy finishing up yet another slow draft in preparation for this Friday. I am so ready for this thing that I'm even considering just drafting "bare knuckles' from memory in homage to Scott Fleming who suggested this as a league option. Now that's having a set. You just be ready to bring it. Forget the books. They won't help you win the psychological game which is already in full swing and lulling you into a soon-to-be devastating false sense of security come draft day. Your only saving grace is that you're dodging a bullet by missing me in the Main the next day. Jupinka on the other hand isn't so lucky . I love be underestimated. JUST FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL WE SEPARATE THE MEN FROM THE BOYS!

P.S. I find extra amusing that it takes two of you working together to even have a chance.


My prediction for this draft...PAIN!

Hey Mikey-

Are there relief pitchers in that "bare knuckle" memory of yours? You just keep preparing with those yahoo slow drafters and you'll surely be ready for the big event I see your Mr.T and raise you a Chevy Chase, so "why don't you head down to the gym and pump yourself!"

[Baseball Furies]

Good one, Joey. Not often that someone throws out a Fletch line like that, especially to someone who gets it right away. Oh wait, I'm dating myself. Funny thing is, I was actually working at the movie theater when it was playing. Sad.



In this photo: Joe Anthony taking yet another one for team Sack of Crumbs.

[Sack]

Amazed that Roy Ericson has anything to say. Does he realize that this Super League isn't an Auction? Give him some
credit for trying, but he is a fish out of water in this field!

Joe - these guys don't realize they are battling three top NFBC minds in this tussle. Check out the snapshot a wee bit
closer and you'll see the CHIP getting into the action. I realized you lobbed one up for the boys, didn't expect Jupinka to
be the one to come out swinging. Plus, the CHAMP speaks the truth as both Lindy and Bob Mazur will attest. By the way
champ, you are off your game. I beat Joe to the tab for breakfest and he promised to GET dinner next week. Rut-oh!

Massotto - you did CATCH a break in the Main. Like Joe said, dead money pal. All due respect, hope those slow drafts
cover some of your expenses.

Where the hell is Lowy? Oh wait, he is waiting to close out the thread. Then again, he is probably trying to come up
with another Countdown suck-up to Greg. Somebody needs to tell the great one that by SPENDING as much money this year
for more teams than the Lunatic, James Christie, he doesn't get credit for any of these financial outlays in the NFBC Lifetime earnings list. Poor Glen, spotted him the #1 pick last year and it STILL didn't help. This isn't AAA - you'll need
to step up your game on Friday Mr Met! Just try to be there on time. This is probably the spot you would tell Greg something like "you asked for some smack talk, but these guys are just to good for me"........ Smootch!

Roy Erickson.........hahahahaha

[Glenneration X]

Where the hell is Lowy?

Sorry Ken, but while the rest of you were obviously spending the night searching your attics for the 8mm black & white silent film archives from your youths that you've posted on this thread, I was getting some well needed beauty sleep in preparation for our encounter Friday night. I suggest you all do the same. Though you each seem a bit....ummm, let's call it overconfident heading into our Jersey showdown, just a head's up that I plan on taking no prisoners in this battle.


Magner, Jupinka, Anthony, & Massotto just prior to the start of the MtM Super......




And just after.....

(Magner carrying Anthony both through and out of this draft ).

[Roy's Outlaws]

Hey Ken, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT NOT AN AUCTION????? MIkey lied to me,all that prep for nothing, I better find some good cheat notes QUICK..... But Also you should ask your partner what happen to him last year in the Main, where I kicked his A##. I have the same in store for the two of you come Friday night,leaving you to pick up the Crumbs!!!!!!

[76erfan]

all i gotta say is this is gonna be fun to facilitate/officiate/mediate/keep you idiots on the straight and narrow.

only trash i can talk is i am in the XII on saturday night with some of you and i will show my talents then:)

We know you're a talented guy Andy but your um, flexible facilitating skills won't help you Saturday night...

[poopytooth]

You dumbf***s are about to get sniped...and you don't even see it coming...

Andy,
There will no controlling this lot. It's going to be a raucous, no-holds-barred, knock-down, drag 'em out bloodbath of a competition with professional trash talk mixed in. So just defer to me as we go to keep things on the straight and narrow and moving along. Besides, you need to be managing your assistant draft administrator who will need plenty of your guidance and tutelage.



Any further questions? Just ass-k.

[Baseball Furies]

Lins,
Nice of you to come out of your coma in time for the draft. However, you can't snipe sh*t when this is your weapon.



Thanks in advance for your donation this season. We all appreciate it.

Look forward to it Mike. I think I can manage her...tough job but someone needs to tell her what to do!

As for Saturday night...I drew the short straw, I am sitting in between you and Jupinka at the XII. I am wearing ear plugs so I dont have to listen to you and Steve bickering like old ladies all night:)

[Quahogs]

"geez, you get a load of Saxton's draft ! I was ROFL all night long... "
" every round gifts, GIFTS ! Mikey, we were plucking all night long... We GOT to get him in the Super next year ! "

[Sack]

3 more days Massotto! Reality is going to strike you real soon and you are going to have
six months to endure the crappy team you end up with in your own league!

Treat yourself to a deeper tan today and maybe you can get your nails polished so
you'll look your best on D day. All hat, no cattle ............makes a nice team name
for you!


Just remember you ASKED for this beat DOWN!

I anticipate this getting very ugly for Massotto.



I'm not sure a spray tan and pedicure will help this time.

[Winston's Empire]

I am honestly dying laughing reading this thread! This draft will become a Legend for sure and knowing a bunch of you guys, makes it even better for me! I would honestly pay for a Pay Per View of the MTM!!! Good luck all!

[Quahogs]

You know, try as we might, not all of us will be able to get that prime draft seat next to Lins...

You shouldn't be one to talk about ugly, Lowy. This aint your home league on Long Island after all.


In this photo: Glenn Lowy seated third from left.

You just be ready to bring it. After your great fortune of snagging Braun in the 1000 Slow prior to his supposed suspension, it's all been downhill for you since then. How are those early picks of Utley and Howard looking right now, X? Three days from now, it's time to pay the fiddler...and this one aint on your roof!

I will be sure to be there well-groomed and tanned just for you, Sack. I'm sure that's just how you like your men, but you have Joey as your pretty boy sidekick to make eyes with the whole night if you want. I will be focused on more important things...like sweeping up the floor of your "crumbs" after your systematic dismantling at the draft table. Just three days away now. Better cut back on those doughnuts. I can't put in for a 3X shirt this late.

Thanks for your concern Mikey, but I regretfully decided to give up my home league a couple years back after being introduced to the world of high stakes. I do miss it though. For the most part, no more fellow drafters sitting around the draft table frantically flipping through their 3-month old magazines because they're out of target players by the 3rd round. Luckily, I'm sure those sentimental memories will come flooding back in Mahwah each time I glance up at you across the table frantically flipping away.


Mikey asking our assistant draft facilitator once again "They keep mentioning pitching, is that a position? Where the hell's my magazine???"


As far as the Utley and Howard picks, unfortunate news for sure. However, I'm confident that team will be fine. I have to ask you though, that draft took place a month ago. Why are you wasting your valuable prep time looking back at that? There's only two days left 'til the big show. Mikey, if you're ever going to add to that one slow draft win standing sadly alone on your resume, stop living in the past and start hitting those magazines hard!



Get back to studying Mikey. Only a couple days to learn that there are pitching categories also.
