What a year! I got my ass kicked, but I've learned a lot.

I can't wait for next year!Thanks for the Fantasy Camp update Dough, it's always fun to be part of it and it always cracks me up!

Yes, I did learn a lot this year, but it didn't wind up being a total ass kicking! I fought back and finished in the Top 3 of a $375 Slow Draft (I took Pujols 1st over Hanley!) and won a side bet with Baseball Furies a.k.a. "Mike The Mouth" for the best total score of the 3 leagues we were in together. He got the best of me in the end though, winning My Baby, the 1st ever $1000 Slow Draft! Congrats MtM, that was a tough group of teams for sure pal!

I joined KJ Dukes keeper league and will be able to donate my hard earned money to that shark tank for the forseeable future...Which is nice, but I do love the keeper team I have been able to piece together!

2011 was a great year and with this being my last year in my local league, watch out NFBC... 2012 will be the best year ever for Winston's Empire!! ;)

Let's check in on the kids....



Gekko:

Mr Okrent! KJ Duke is copying off me!



KJ Duke:

I am not!!



Gekko:

Yes you were!

My paper was in the full light and your head behind me is the only thing that could have cast a shadow over it.



KJ Duke:

That was probably your ego!



Mr. Okrent:

Boys!

This is a paper that provides freedom of thought. There is no grade for it. I simply asked you to write down the five players who will have breakout years in 2012.



Gekko:

Exactly!

And KJ Duke wants to know what I think!



KJ Duke:

Scoreboard!

Do you remember where you finished last year?

It would be like copying off Helen Keller in an eye chart test!



Gekko:

I had a lot of things going on this past year. I am going to put a lot of my time into it this year.

You'll see!

I'll blow you out of the water!



KJ Duke:

Blow what?



Mr Okrent:

Boys!

Look, this is fantasy baseball. The practice of 'copying' has been going on since the first publications. Ron Shandler makes money from you guys copying his advice.

In effect, anybody who brings a publication to a draft is a 'copier'.



Gekko:

That's different! Shandler gets paid.

KJ Duke was trying to get my info for free!



Mr. Okrent:

Let's say you're right and KJ Duke is copying off you. He gets five names that maybe only you think will break out this year.

How does this hurt you?



Gekko:

They're MY names!



Mr. Okrent:

Not really.

That's like saying Nacho Cheese Doritos and Dr. Pepper is MY snack. It may be my favorite, but It's open to everybody. All of these names will be drafted. They're open to everybody.



Gekko:

Yeah but, these guys will trip over those names accidentally. I am the only one who really knows these guys. I draft and use them constructively.

I didn't put time in last year, that's the only reason why I didn't win!



(Everybody groans)



Sack:

You're a nice guy, Gekko, when you're not being YOU!



Walla Walla:

I think he has a point.

I'd rather copy off him than Shandler!



Glennerationx:

Whose better though?

Shandler, Gekko, or Frank Kowalski?



Quahogs:

Frank Kowalski obviously didn't put the time into preperation either.

He sucked.



CC's Desperados:

We all want Frank Kowalski at our table!



Gekko:

Screw all you guys!

I am studying as of now!

Get ready to have your asses kicked!



Glennerationx:

Who said that?

Gekko, Frank Kowalski, or ANONYMOUS?



Gekko:

All three of us will kick your ass!



Sack:

Well, one things for sure.

You three should be very happy together.



Glennerationx:

Maybe not.

When Gekko is alone studying, he probably accuses Frank Kowalski of copying off him!



DOUGHBOYS:

I can't wait for ANONYMOUS vs. ANONYMOUS in a league. It'll eat each other up not knowing who they're going against.



Winston's Empire:

Hey!

If he does 15 ANONYMOUS, he could guaranty himself a league championship!



DOUGHBOYS:

[/QUOTE]Max,

If you want to wipe floors, go pursue a career in the custodial arts. At least you can then say you actually got your hands dirty for once in your life. :rolleyes: Saying you beat me in the $375's with your 'skill' when those drafts just so happened to be the two worst drafts and injury plagued messes that I put together out of nine drafts this past season is just your dumb luck. Nothing more. You will not finish ahead of me in any of the leagues we are in together this year which I plan on making no more than two so I do not need to waste inordinate amounts of time writing you back extremely witty and creative comebacks to your milquetoast trash talk. So consider yourself lucky that you have the privilege and the pleasure of competing against me again this year at all! :eek: .

I'm not sure people would go anonymous because they fear others will 'copy' their sleepers. It is more an issue of a future leaguemate (let's call him player B) seeing results of player A and then jumping the gun on some guys that player A clearly likes when they are in a draft together, which I think is a real issue.



It can go horribly wrong for Player B, but that doesn't mean everyone should be comfortable with a changing dynamic based on what they've already done.



Fun post, though!

Somewhere in an outfield corn field....



Ty Cobb:

Number eight! Eighth! This is total horseshit!



Babe Ruth:

Wassamata, small fry?



Ty Cobb:

Those geeks are having an All Time Draft. They chose me eighth! Eighth!

I'm the greatest hitter of all time!



Lou Gehrig:

Stuck here with the likes of you.

You've said you're the greatest hitter of all time everyday for the last 50 years!

You've set the 'I'm the greatest hitter' record for consecutive days saying it!



Christy Mathewson:

Mr Gehrig is correct. Saying it, doesn't make it so!



Ty Cobb:

Read it and weep, Gehrig! (Handing him a newspaper) I still went higher than you!



Lou Gehrig:

Hey Babe, you're still number one and it's almost 100 years later!



Babe Ruth: (Looking over Gehrig's shoulder)

Hey look at dat!

Der Weinerschnitzel!

You can actually drive a car through a hot dog stand!

Those guys are livin'!



Jack Chesbro:

Hey Look!

There's my name!

Finally! Somebody who recognizes my achievments!



Bob Gibson:

Looks like they finally recognized pitchers as a whole!

Look, they took nine of us in the first round!



Ty Cobb:

Who let the black guy in here?



Bob Gibson:

If I were pitching, you'd be saying that from your ass!



Babe Ruth:

Hey Cobb, call him what you want, y'know what they're calling you?



Ty Cobb:

What?



Babe Ruth: (Laughing)

JUDY!



Bob Gibson: (Laughing)

Judy Cobb!



(Everybody in the room laughing)



Ty Cobb:

Why are they calling the greatest hitter in baseball history, Judy?



Mike Piazza:

It is what they call a fast guy who steals bases, but has little power.



Ty Cobb:

Stupid home runs.

Ruined the game!



Larry Walker:

Don't feel bad, Cobb. Now, you can say you're the greatest JUDY of all time!



Ty Cobb:

Screw you, Walker!

At least I've still got a normal sized head and a nutsack!

Your era was about who had the best drugs!



Larry Walker:

Not me, I didn't!



Barry Bonds:

Me neither!



Sammy Sosa:

Me neither!



Sandy Koufax:

Sounds like ped's are like the moon landing.

Never existed.



Jimmie Foxx:

Hey Babe, your season and career records got broke!



Babe Ruth:

Who did that?



Barry Bonds:

I did.



Babe Ruth:

Hey kid, tell me the truth, did you do it fair and square?



Barry Bonds:

Just between you guys, me, and the Cornfield?

Nah.

I cheated.

It made me feel like a King!



Babe Ruth:

I know the feeling ,kid.



Nap Lajoie:

Hey, where's Honus?



Chuck Kliein:

He ain't been picked yet. Just the guys that have been picked are here.



Walter Johnson:

OOOOWeeee!

He's gonna be hot under the collar when he gets here!

The last one from the first Hall of Fame class to be picked!



Hack Wilson:

They don't care!

To them, he's just another JUDY!



Joe Morgan:

Judy Wagner. I'll let you guys call him that!



Mike Piazza:

Yeah, you'd better let one of us do it, you can't even call a game!



Lou Gehrig:

Hey Babe, you've been awfully quiet....



Babe Ruth:

.....You drive your car through and get as many hot dogs as you want!

I can't believe I didn't think of that!



Joe McGinnity:

So, you newer fellas have any new pitches.

We had the standard fastball, spitter, curve, fork, screw, slide, and greaseballs.



Bob Gibson:

Some of them were outlawed.

Most pitchers don't brag about how many pitches now, just the speed and movement.



Rube Waddell:

Ol' Mordecai only had three pitches.

He couldn't count no higher than his fingers!



Mordecai Brown:

Screw you, Waddell!

Rube, who calls their kid Rube?!





Rube Waddell:

A guy named Mordecai is questioning my name?



Barry Bonds:

Hey Babe, just so you know, I wasn't the first to break your season or career records.



Babe Ruth:

Really Kid?

Who did?



Barry Bonds:

Roger Maris and Hank Aaron.



Babe Ruth:

I pay that no mind. I saw the paper. I was the first one picked. Those Maris and Aaron characters aren't even here.

They couldn't have been that good!



Joe Morgan:

Hey Babe, remember when you told reporters that you were getting paid more than the President cuz you had a better year?



Babe Ruth:

Yeah?



Joe Morgan:

Now, EVERY player gets paid more than the President!



Babe Ruth:

Some of those guys couldn't shine my shoes!

Wow.....Even the Judy Cobb's of baseball?



Ty Cobb:

Shuddup Ruth.

I got more hits than any man alive!



Mike Piazza:

Um, Mr. Cobb?.......Sit down......
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

So Good! I love how Babe Ruth simply can't focus on anything else besides the hot dog drive through! Cobb was a jerk, so very fitting depiction there too!!!

Baseball Furies:
What the Hell! Is he reciting the Gettysburg Address?

Bjoak:
No. He's in a zone. Every off season he gets his material together and puts numerish to numbers.

Baseball Furies:
Sort of like me, I put the Champ in Champion!

Winston's Empire:
More like the numb in nuts!

Bjoak:
Anyway, he'll do chants and have internal discussions with himself and his numerish brothers until they have assigned their language to every player that will step on a Major League field in 2012. Then he'll put it on his website for all to see.

Gekko:
That's stupid!
He does all that work and lets everybody see it?
Why do all the work for all these other sheep?

Bjoak:
He enjoys it.

Gekko:
What a maroon!
Last year, I didn't study enough and it hurt me.
This year, I'm studying hard. No excuses!
And I ain't sharing my work with anybody!

Glennerationx:
Not even Stan Kowalski?

Gekko:
Hey, at least I'm not spending my studying time looking for pretty girls to post!
What's going to look pretty is my team next year!
And yeah, I'd rather be 'anonymous' than share my hard work with anybody.

Glennerationx:
Ooh, look on my screen now. She's a beaut!
As you stand before me, Gek, I have to ask myself one thing.
Would I rather look at the ass on my screen or the one in front of me?

Gekko: (Turning around and pointing at his butt)
You see this butt, Glennerationx?
Get used to it!
You'll be seeing it all next year in the standings!


KJ Duke:
Are you drafting now, Gek?

Gekko:
I could be. That's for me to know and you to find out!

KJ Duke:
I don't have to find out anything. I finished second last year.
The three of you didn't come close.

Gekko:
Three of us?

KJ Duke:
Yeah, Anonymous, Kowalski, and Gekko...you guys all sucked!

Gekko:
To me, you merely had a Tebow moment.
It won't last long and I'll be back where I belong, on top!

Quahogs:
That's what she said!

Ando:
What's a 'Tebow moment'?

Gekko:
A Tebow moment is the meek inheriting the earth, but not for long.
It gives all the sheep out there hope and fattens my wallet.

Ando:
Oh brother!

Money:
Can you believe some states won't let us play because of the luck/skill factor?

DOUGHBOYS:
So is the 'Dark Side' banned in all 50 then?

Joe Sambito:
My wife took Brady, Welker, and Gronkowski in her league because they're 'cute'.
She's winning.

Money:
I've been on the 'Dark Side'. It's not all luck.
Sometimes a lot of thought goes into it. The additions. The lineups. The matchups...
And as that time gets closer and closer that excitement is just too much!

Quahogs:
And again, That's what she said!


Just a thanks to Mark. I take more liberties with his 'character' than most.
Thanks Mark.

Let's check in on the kids....

KJ Duke:
Hey, did you guys see the welcome to all new NFBC'ers speech by Principal Ambrosius?

Glenneration X:
Yeah, I've never seen so many new kids!

Jules:
I think they're cute!

Gekko:
Cute, schmoot! All it means to me is more chum for my shark-like appetite!

Edwards Kings:
Every class is getting full. I went to my 'How to get the most at bats out of our lineup' class, and had to stand at the back of the room!

Quahogs:
Yeah, my BABIP class was batting 1,000.

Yahoo Kid:
I love it! I'm tired of being picked on!

Chest Rockwell:
Yahoo Kid, you'll spend a lifetime of being picked on.
You took Victor Martinez in the 28th round of a slow draft, hoping for a good September!
These aren't Yahoo Kids coming in.
These are street kids looking for cred!

Winstons Empire:
Why are there so many this year?

Glenneration x:
Mostly because of Camp Wackoff closing.
They took all the tuition money from the rich parents and didn't hand out grades to their kids!
It was really Antonio Bastardo of them to do that!

Ando:
Really?
I think they're here because we're the best camp!
Who doesn't want to be among the best at anything?

Sack:
It's partly because of Bob Enzyte.
He's won twice and won more money than any other kid in Camp.
Word is getting around!

KJ Duke:
He's gone from a shark to a pig!

Spartacus:
His name should be Arnold Ziffel!
Get it? Knows baseball from A-Z, pig, Arnold Ziffel...

Yahoo Kid:
Who's Arnold Ziffel?

Spartacus:
Now I want to beat you up....

Gekko:
We'll see how bright these new kids are in my next class.

rockitsauce:
Which class?

Gekko:
Advanced Joe Blanton...

ToddZ:
67383470257539

Bjoak:
He says he's impressed how many of these new guys know Numerish.

Captain Hook:
I remember when Numerish was only spoken a few folks.

KJ Duke:
Yeah, now there's even an App for that.

Baseball Furies:
I'm not scared of no new kids!
Well, unless they're from Jersey.
EVERYONE should be scared of kids from Jersey!

Walla Walla:
Bah!
My state must be so good it got banned!

Captain Hook:
I know how you feel!

rockitsauce:
Me too...

Walla Walla:
It's racist! Or stateist! Or elitist!
I don't know which one, but it's one of those 'ist' words!

Glenneration x:
I went to Camp Wackoff for awhile.
I wish now they'd banned me!

King of Queens:
I enjoy the irony though.
All those times you quit Walla Walla....
Now, your state does it for you!

Gekko:
There's the bell!
Time to show off for the noob's!

Glenneration x:
Really?
I'm hoping for the opposite.
I'm hoping they show us a few things!
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

Even those still shoveling snow in Joisey should be scared of real players
Many of us left for better ball fields

Doughy, Fantasy Camp's always current, always relevant, and most importantly always entertaining.
Another great job, I was jonesing for another episode.

Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

Always nice to make Fantasy Camp! :D

Dough, at some point I want to grow into the Sophmore with a chip on my shoulder and start slapping "Mike The Mouth" around a bit! :lol: Thanks for the good read!

Max, this is Fantasy Camp, not Fantasy Island. Keep dreaming though. Wait, wait...I hear something in the sky overhead. What could it be?
