Whats Wrong With Me?

Post by fwicker » Mon Jan 25, 2016 7:36 pm

I just bought 3 baseball magazines, as I do every year. I subscribed to the same three baseball sites, as I do every year. I tend to read two other sites almost daily and listen to two podcasts each week (at least I do this at the gym). I go the the Arizona Fall League each year, BHQ First Pitch each year and spend a week in Phoenix at Spring Training after which I fly to Las Vegas for the NFBC drafts. This is followed by three private head-to-head drafts.

My success rate is reasonable but falls short of paying for itself.

I spend at least twenty times as much time on baseball as I do on my stock portfolio.

What's wrong with me? ... probably plenty, but no matter.... I LOVE IT!

Join more drafts.
If thinking there is something wrong with me, that's what I do!
Also, avoid bears!
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

Easy, you have a sickness...a nice, healthy, incurable, obsessive sickness. On the bright side, it's rarely fatal, and if it does end up killing you, at least you'll die a happy man. :mrgreen:

Kind of looks like the bear is saying "Dan...is that you?"
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.

Yes. The little kid was Clint Howard, Ron Howard's brother. Clint about the time he was on "Gentle Ben"....

Clint Howard grown up...

Looks like the bear didn't just get to Leo...

I've gotta read these posts more carefully. I thought the advice was to "drink more drafts" and it hasn't really helped my baseball forecasting but I've met a lot of nice folks. :D

Imagine the horror if da' Bears sign defensive end Larry Webster next season? A possible W.C.S. for Aaron Rodgers.
