Late Pick - Huston Street, RP

Earle Combs - OF

Will do.

However, the only problem is that if Bubba misses his round 14 pick and I make my 2 picks. The draft will once again be stuck until 10:30 tomorrow morning because Bubba has the next pick.

In any case, I will make my pick as scheduled at 9:30 this evening.

First of all I missed 1 pick the whole draft. So stop throwing shade. I am glad the executive decision was made after 1 missed pick to skip my pick, I expect that every missed pick of the draft now gets the same.

The missed pick was on Halloween, when Heaven forbid I spent extra time with my kids

Doc White P

It looks like Bubba made his 14th round pick. So, I'm going to move along and make my 14th and 15th round picks.

Yes bubba, the same is expected of everyone. If you get skipped, the draft moves along for everyone. Of course, as Darth said, you could make your 9 pm pick, he can make his two and then you could sit and wait around til tomorrow morning to make your next one if you wanted and would not get skipped again until morning. That's your prerogative...although those picking after you next round might not be too happy about it if they would rather make their picks tonight.

Darth did you a favor last time. I am just pointing out to him (and everyone else) that they do NOT have to do that.

Abd ab aside, we will need a repick because Doc White was picked long ago. His name IS on the alpha list

I will post my repick momentarily, I am not ******** about getting skipped and he didn't do me a favor by holding his pick, he made his picks last time which I have no problem with. I do however, have a problem with a commissioner who singles me out and when others miss its hunky dory.

It was freaking Halloween when I missed the pick and the draft did not get held up you just didn't get extra picks that night.

Geez, why does EVERYONE get their panties in a wad whenever I say anything about missing their time slot by ohhh about TEN hours!?!? Is there not anyone on WIS who knows the meaning of the word "contrition"? We have one of these situations every draft, and just once, it would be so nice to read "Yes, I'm sorry amerk. It was Halloween and I really wanted to spend time with my kids. I should have sent a proxy list for that pick to some of the guys, but I forgot (or didn't have time or whatever). I'd like to apologize to everyone else in the draft." Or else just don't say anything.

Instead, I always get a tirade blaming ME instead of themselves. I hadn't said A THING to anyone this draft about that because no one has gotten skipped by more than 3 or 4 picks. This guy is supposed to make his pick at 9 pm and doesn't make it until around 10 am the next morning, and I didn't even say anything about it then! Today I just mention to Darth that he can skip bubba and make his picks at 9:30 if he wants and you'd think I cLLED him every name in the book. It's just tiresome.

Except its not, you and Darth thought it would be fun to excoriate me, Since we didn't lose 1 minute of actual draft time due to my "missed" pick. No need to apologize IMHO. Darth held his pick from the last pick of the night before to the morning slot the next morning. I appreciate his willingness to wait, but it was not necessary he could have made both picks at any time and I wouldn't have batted an eye. Either the draft time slots are meaningful or they are not. If I missed back to back picks that would be different and I would understand the shade. I didn't. I didn't appreciate the comments, commissioner does not give you a free shot at me.
