I sure hope so.

Yes.   I will not compromise my moral judgements for a few fantasy points.  When Moss laid down as a Raider, I made a statement on my league message board that I'd never have him on my fantasy team.  We had a home bar where most of the league members met for Sunday football.   That post was on the bulletin board for three years.  Moss was never on my team.

Few openings, a strong commish, minimum win rules(anti-tanking rules), other owners you're familiar with are all fine starting points.   I'd look at previous seasons turnover and records.   You could also check previous stats.  I obviously think MG/Coop are the best run worlds.  98greenc5's world rankings are a decent place to start.   The top worlds in it seem to do really well as HBD goes.   Steinbrenner will have openings.   There were a few problems but soxfan9 and his committee addressed them.    It's a little top-heavy right now but I think it has potential. 

Man, canocorn has a hate on for you. How the hell do you manage to become the obsession of all the crazies on this site? Is Jodie Foster your sister?

Does a fielding instructor help those who are closest to the ML level, or evenly across all levels?

People hate being called on their general being if it's not flattering.  I don't mind not being flattering.    Jodie Foster is not my sister.

The FI affects the entire organization.   In my experience, he actually helps those the furthest from their potential the most.  That means, or should mean, players furthest from the bigs.

Do you not understand it takes more energy -- i.e. gasoline -- to propel a vehicle with more weight (a full tank of gas) than the same vehicle with a lighter payload (1/4 tank of gas)?

Why the hell do I care about how you answered someone else's inane question?

Do I blame my sudden outburst on four days of insomnia?

I think a gallon of gas weighs more or less 9 lbs.   Most vehicles I've driven have 12-17 gallon tanks.   I'm not putting much stock in 90 lbs of fuel making a big swing in fuel usage.

Beats me.

Perhaps.

Any special wish you'd like to send my way today?  Any traditional songs come to mind?  Should I expect a gift from you today, perhaps accompanied by some sort of baked good that is festively decorated with candles?

Did you know that today is the 82nd birthday of Yankee Hall of Famer "The Chairman of the Board" Whitey Ford?

chances of a yanks/phils w.s. still happening?

Some writer at ESPN is predicting a Wisconsin-South Carolina Capital One Bowl.

You scared yet?

I didn't not.

Very slim.

We don't fear no stinkin' badgers.

Did you know that I share the birthday of a certain Yankee HOF pitcher from the '50's and early 60's?

I did not.   I share a birthday with Bob Oliver.  I don't think he's in the HOF.
