I am. Thoroughly.

It's been a long time since I have done WiS and I do not remember it being this much fun to read draft threads.

Diamondbacks select from the Boston Red Sox, RP Craig Kimbrel.

I will select 1B Mark McGwire - Oakland A's

NO!?!
I'm Not?

When you're in a live draft league, like this one, when you have almost a week (5 days) between picks, it is very BORING!!

I Might as well keep B*tching, Just to stay interested & try to keep a draft strategy intact, instead of getting completely off track?

NO, I'm not Entertained, I got to entertain myself... & Subsequently others, just to stay awake in the draft room?!

Just to be clear, I actually find your endless ******** tiresome and grating, and a less appetizing side dish to your standard fare ripping of an owner who winds up finishing 30 games ahead of you in the division. You have one more person before you pick, then I guess you can get back to explaining why Steve Blass is better than Pedro Martinez.

I love the question marks after every sentence? Makes it look like you are uncertain about everything you say?

Your "draft strategy" has paid off so well the last two seasons? I expect more of the same this season?

Are you kidding? The season-ending Standings in WIS have Nothing - to do with how Good your team is, or how Good your players are, or how your team is setup... Wis makes No Sense at all, dealing with Actual baseball, I have had MUCH Better teams than a lot of my opponents & them Winning is a lot like playing a much Inferior Miracle Mets... most of the time? Seriously, how could Maddox & Martinez, in their wildest dreams, Possibly out pitch Walter Johnson, Pete Alexander, Bob Gibson, Dizzy Dean? It's like the unthinkable happens in WIS - ALL the time!!! It happens so often it's FUNNY!?

Like Walter Johnson ending up with a 6-25 record... Or Ty Cobb batting .240 for a whole season... Or Babe Ruth hitting only 30 home runs in Atlanta Fulton County stadium??? Stuff like this just HAPPENS in Wis, NEVER in real life Baseball!!!

My main enjoyment is this game is picking my teams and the actual what if factor? Once the season starts wis just screws everything up?

I have very fond memories of sitting in front of the old Zenith in my childhood home watching TBS the season that the Babe cracked 55 homers for America's team. Ah, Chip Caray, the Babe, and the Superstation...

So just to be clear, out of 70,140 SLB games, the majority of your 40,259 losses have been because WIS makes no sense and continually creates the Miracle Mets?

Also this is an absolutely incredible statement: "The season-ending Standings in WIS have Nothing - to do with how Good your team is, or how Good your players are, or how your team is setup..."

YEP -- YOU GOT IT!!

Growing up by played APBA baseball & the most fun I had in that game, was setting up my team... In that game, the roll a dice was more aaccurate then the Wis SIMulator, cuz computers, contrary to popular belief, can't DO random calculations! WHAT do you say? YES, there's nothing random in a computer, it is a DUMB machine, that does only what the programmers tell it to do! HAL 9000 has not been invented yet, a computer that thinks on its own... NEVER?
