@RandomItalicizedVoice, yea i hear you all loud and clear — my strategy will evolve as the drafting season goes on — another factor i was considering w/ the wright pick is i could potentially flip him for a better player b/c 3b is so thin and i could plug howard in there when he gets back but i doubt howard falls that far in real drafts — i probably wont end up with any of these guys on my team anyways

cheers GL to all you fantasy baseballers out there

@Grey, Hmm… and my guess was that you ARE Bill James. Damn.

Can’t wait for new Survivor, I have a good feeling about this season. Runway AS blows and the new MTV Challenge is being a bit of a tease (no spoilers), so it’s coming at the perfect time.

@Grey,
for my son and his friends , whoever got drunk and passed out first , got ONE eye-brow shaved .

My question about the dreds is :
Reyes’ were only about 7 or 8 inches long (he said 3 years) .
Manny’s go below shoulder level , and everytime he swings a bat , they fling around and hit him in the face .

How the heck big is Manny’s shower cap ?
and , where’s the paparazzi when you need them ??

SHOW OF HANDS …. how many of you think that he just doesn’t bother to shower ???

I sincerely hope , that if he does sign , it’s with the Orioles
and NOT my A’s .
but , i’m afraid that , between the allure of the medicinal pot outlets , and the incompetence of billy beane ,
my hopes are doomed .

@Grey, That’s the “difference between endo and oregano…imagine how fresh I am now wrote these lyrics down a year ago”…
Yes. I’m surprised. She seems like quality.

@Buge Hoobs, I’m kinda with Grey when he says that locking up util or CI or MI spots early in a draft, while tempting, hurts you later in the draft when you lack flexibility to do stuff like grabbing a good value that has fallen somewhat.

@Wake up, Eh, he used to mix oregano in with my shake. Alesha is her name, I think. I’ve been to her restaurant, not so good.

@Grey, I also liked that other girl from LA that keeps winning all the 2nd chance things(believe it or not I have seen every episode even though I can’t remember anyone’s name.)
I’ve never been to his restaurant but I used to buy my weed from him and it was muy bueno.

My league is doing keeper for the first time and I can keep 3 players. Right now I’m thinking Kemp at $36 and Lawrie $16 (my league has a long term contract rule where I can keep him for the next 5 years at that price). I can’t decide between Beachy and Morse at $6 each for my last one. I really like Beachy but I feel like at 25 homerun hitter at $6 is better value. $260 cap with QS instead of Ws. Thanks.

@Wake up, Ah, can’t hate on that then. He was Rudy’s pick too. Rudy’s been to his restaurant and says it’s bueno.

@simply fred, Oh, yeah, I wait until after the first episode to choose my horse.

Trying to decide my final two keepers.

Adrian Gonzalez $28
Brandon Beachy $1
Daniel Hudson $1
Cory Luebke $1

I’m leaning towards Hudson for sure. Who would you keep out of the othertritee? $250 cap, top 1bs go for $40-$43 usually and middle of the pack SPs can go for around $12-17. This league uses QS instead of Ws.

@Grey, Mullet with cat scratches shaved into my eyebrows here. And I like Paul for top chef too. I’m happy as long as the 2 buffalo from chicago didn’t win.

@Steve, Oh, I frosted my hair at one point and shaved my eyebrows. Yeah, I’m basically a moron.

@Grey, That’s awesome. My hair is a bit too fine and straight to do too much with (and mostly grey these days) but I did have blonde highlights back in the 80s.

@Steve, I had dreads in high school for a day. A white kid with dreads ain’t cute.

@RandomItalicizedVoice,
With your Wright pick, if you wanted to lock up your CI spot, wouldn’t a 1B have been more productive?

off-topic .

jose reyes got his dreds cut on mlb-tv and admitted he only washes
his hair “about once a month” , and uses a shower cap .

now that manny is trying to get signed by the orioles ……

@Awesomus Maximus, I’ll be honest, I copied those Matsui projections from Bill James.
