Official 2006 Fantasy Draft Comments

[Mr. Blubbo]

Waiting for Attez to pop on.  If he doesn't I will make the selection myself.  I PM'd him.  We'll see when he gets back.

[GDavis]

Sack up and make a pick already.  I guarantee he wouldn't wait for you if the roles were reversed.

Attez is my friend and my fantasy baseball partner.  I will wait.

[fightonusc]

Nokes! Nokes! Nokes!

[Mr. Blubbo]

Pick made.  He responded to PM.

[Mr. Blubbo]

And now that I know that no one likes Nokes, I will wait on him until the 8th.

You dicks are just drafting my exact team from last time

[fightonusc]

: Welcome to ESPN's exclusive coverage of the Fantasy RBI Baseball Draft. We're here at Madison Square Garden. As always, I'm joined by our draft experts, Mel Kiper and Jay Bilas. Guys, up until the middle of the second round, everything was going according to plan. Then Attarack made their second round pick, and suddenly we had our first questionable pick of the draft when they went with Tim "Singing in the" Raines. Guys?

: Well, you could hear that the crowd was all over this pick. It was almost 50/50 between cheers and boos, with a lot of gasps thrown in there. Then again, most of the booing probably came from Jets fans who came here to root on Ryno's team and get their booing practice in for the 2007 NFL Draft.

: But was it a good pick?

: Look, Tim Raines is a complete player, but you have to wonder if he wouldn't have been available in a later round. There are a lot of guys with more power that were available, and power is so key in Fantasy RBI.

: Mel, I disagree. Tim Raines is one of the most athletic players in the game. With his combination of speed, power and average, he is the most diverse player in the draft. Really, he has almost unlimited upside potential.

: Certainly, a controversial pick. Let's go to Linda Cohn, who is at Attarack team headquarters right now.

: Thanks guys, and I'm outside of the War Room where team co-owners Attezz and Racktacular just made this pick. I see Attezz now – let me see if I can get a word with him. Attezz, why did you go with Tim Raines?

: Is this ESPN? You're the chick with ESPN, right?

: Uh, yeah...I was just....

: THEN FUCK YOU!!! ESPN CAN SUCK MY DICK! What, are you going to ask me how this pick might impact the Yankees now?!? What do you know about Fantasy RBI, Linda? I mean, you're so glib, and not very attractive! At least they could have sent me that redheaded chick Marlo.

FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

<Attezz then rips the ESPN logo off of Cohn's mic and eats it. Camera cuts back to the draft set, with Joe Buck in Chris Berman's spot>

: Folks, I want to apologize for that disgusting display. I'm sorry you had to ACK!...

<Buck is tackled by a large security guard and knocked off-frame. After a brief struggle, he is hogtied and taken away screaming while Berman re-enters the picture.>

: NO! I HAVE TO DO EVERY SPORTING EVENT EVER! BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, RBI, LACROSSE...I'LL DO EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME! YOU'LL SEE!!!

: Wow, sorry about that. I went to the bathroom for a second and suddenly that guy shows up. How did he get through security? Guys, didn't you notice this?

: Sorry, I was reapplying a layer of silicon to my hair....

: And I was on the phone with Coach K, who gave me some interesting insight about the draft since he's the smartest, most amazing and wonderful person alive. According to him, the...

: Whoops, sorry, we're out of time. We'll be providing updates throughout the draft. Stay tuned to ESPN for coverage of the World Series of Lawn Darts Day 12. Goodbye!

[TβG]

yes!  you never disappoint.

[fknmclane]

FUCKING AWESOME.

[ultimate7]

Hilarious,  I seriously considered drafting Rock, but then looked at the crap season he had last year and decided against it.

[GDavis]

What happens if someone fills out their Pinch Hit slots with catchers and one or more teams can't fill their catcher slot?

[Big Hath]

a rift forms in the space-time continuum

[TβG]

the last catcher(s) is/are held for the team(s) without one.  it happened to be steve lake for me last year and he turned out pretty well.

if you draft three catchers, you're a jerk.

[fightonusc]

As commissioner, I'd jump in and freeze drafting any more catchers if there was only one left and a team hadn't drafted one yet. However, if you want a bench of all catchers, go for it - just make sure you get Stinky Sullivan early.

[GDavis]

if you draft three catchers, you're a jerk.

But I'm already a jerk, so I might as well draft the catchers

[TβG]

then i guess i'll have to draft my fist into your face.

[ultimate7]

So what's the rule on what happens when the 1 hour expires?

NFL style whoever is next gets to make their pick and so on, meanwhile person with due pick gets to make it at any time?

Nacho has about 15 minutes left

[TβG]

i don't want to step on fighton's toes, but....

gdavis is now on the clock for 1 hour, followed by tbg/bdawk, and then tbt/goreds.

[ultimate7]

I agree, it's easy to proxy your picks if you are not going to be around.  GDavis should be up
