that's great ebby. almost ****** myself reading this. and thanks doc for my proxy.

Time is up for Blue (and me).

Need a 3rd dominant SP in Cincy, so I'll grab Kevin Brown, SD.

Sending sitemail to the next 3.

Was wondering when someone was going to pick Brown. I didn't protect him because he always sucks for me, and I figured why bother again. Plus, I wanted to save my clubhouse from an ugly beatdown after every one of his losses.

He was really good for me last time I can remember using him...probably 8 or 9 versions of the Sim engine ago.

I really like his low HR/9 for my ballpark.

I thought about taking him, just so I could have Kevin Brown as both my #1 AND #2 starters...

The A's select OF Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros.



Astros are off the board

Late proxy for specsman (sorry I couldn't get Berkman for you, specs, I just got home)

could one of you fine gents proxy-me at 7:30?

1. Carlos Delgado Blue Jays
2. Lance Berkman Astros
3. Billy Williams Cubs

How many Pirates have ever been taken in the first round?

Since the Phils took an OF from the Yanks, we'll steal Lenny Dykstra OF Phils and all his monetary debt back from them...

No problem, I told myself. Outfielders are a dime a dozen. No one will take sweet swinging Billy in the first round. You'll be able to protect him before round 2. Self, you're an idiot.

Oh, Hell no!

ff09, we're going to assume that you did not see the plaintive warning on page 1. It is posted there just as MLB baseball rule 13 is posted on every MLB clubhouse wall for all players and coaches to see ("Gambling will result in lifetime banishment. This includes association with gamblers and betting on games of which the player is not a participant.")

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball. You catch the ball. You hit the ball. And, no matter what, you don’t even think about protecting, drafting or otherwise using a certain lying, cheating, bowl-cutted, short-dicked, bookie-befriending, autograph-charging, tax-evading ex-con, degenerate gambler and alleged human who is rightly and appropriately banned from baseball, who voluntarily accepted his permanent ineligibility and who, without a mother lovin’ doubt, took it up the *** three times daily and twice as often down his throat during a five month prison stay and loved every bent over minute of it. For in the storied history of the legendary Rule V league, no one – not one single owner – has ever won with He Who Must Not Be Named on his roster, for sweet, sweet Karma, blessed Karma, righteous Karma, despite her magnanimous and gentle nature, will absolutely rip off your virtual head and sh*t down your virtual neck if you tempt her unholy wrath by dancing with the Cincinnati Satan. Don’t tempt her, muchachos. Just leave that sh*t alone and we’ll all be better off for it."

It's too late for you now, ff09. You had a nice run in leg 24 and perhaps Karma would have shined on you and allowed you to hoist the Rule V Championship trophy in this, the silver anniversary of the mighty Rule V league. But now, the only thing you'll be hoisting is your balls...after Karma the Terrible slices them off with rusty piano wire. Damn shame, really.
