[Darky]

Nacho/MikeD, you two figure things out yet? How hard is it? 

[Nacho]

It's 10:30pm.  Mike's in bed by now.  We'll make our pick in the morning.

He was just logged on a few minutes ago. Surely you two exchanged pm's. Ah, no worries. Tomorrow it is and the draft will reopen as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

[Re-Peat]

Hey RePeat, I know the IF you have your eye on...and I'll be taking him.  

It's good to know that you're enjoying the feng shui of the new furniture rearrangement you've got inside your head.  Anytime you need it moved again just let me know!

Ha! Nah, I needed somebody to platoon with Buckner. It's healthy for both of them as well as our team. Team play son! Also, they will both be awesome coming off the bench with the +64 pinch hitting boost to their power.

Barrett and O.Smith platooned last year, and together they combined to hit .458 with 18 doubles, 14 triples, and 0 HR's from the 8-hole.

I'm thinking Buckner and Doran will combine to hit .470 with 20 doubles, 4 triples, and 6 homeruns.

The drafting board is now open. I see light at the end of the tunnel!

[Darky]

Nacho, it is legal to make your pick. You won't be arrested. Let's go!!!

[Darky]

I have proxies from ultimate and Ryno...so their picks are going to whip around.

Nacho/Mike D, what's the hold up? Don't make me post odd things now on your FB wall....

[Nacho]

Mike D., check your PMs before Darky's head explodes.

[TbT]

TBG, keep the texts comin if possible.  busy today.

You must have a draft sheet printed out TBT, yeah? I can see you getting TBG's text during work, then asking everybody to excuse you for a minute to take an important call---then whipping out the draft sheet (with highlighted players) from your back pocket hahaha. Fuckin' awesome!

[BeefMaster]

I believe I have made the playoffs in every FRBI season I've been in, losing in the World Series twice and the LCS either once or twice.

Yep, you have. You did not participate in season IV, why not?

I've sat out a couple of seasons in order to let other folks participate.  No sense in hogging all the World Series losses for myself.

So basically you are the Buffalo Bills and people want to meet you in the playoffs?

Yes, although I am completely shocked you didn't go with the Vikings for that comparison.

[Darky]

All that fuss for Hatcher? Sheesh.

[Darky]

Ha, no Sandberg for Ryno! That's going to break Ryno's heart.

RePeat/Barton, have your next two picks ready if you can. I have proxies from Ultimate and Ryno.

[Nacho]

All that fuss for Hatcher? Sheesh.

If by "fuss" you mean "Darky being impatient," then yes.  All that fuss was over Hatcher.

You guys have been on the clock for 13 hours. Damn straight my impatience is warranted. It's not like you haven't expressed your impatience sucka...

Disastrous pick btw...

[Nacho]

I dont think any 2nd bench players with 142 speed can be "disastrous" picks, particularly when all the remaining SPs are a crapshoot.

[Darky]

No, there is one pitcher left that really needs to be avoided---he's consistently the worst in the FRBI seasons and is ranked dead last by me----and is in a tier all by himself.

And there is one gem remaining for SP's....middle tier guy who can put up second tier numbers in a season. The other two left in the draft are bottom tier dudes.

I guess Hatcher is an okay pick---was just giving you a hard time. Second slot PH's get about 12 AB's on average during a 22 game season.  

[Barton]

Ha, no Sandberg for Ryno! That's going to break Ryno's heart.

RePeat/Barton, have your next two picks ready if you can. I have proxies from Ultimate and Ryno.

You eat my ass! Or our collective asses ... either way, we've been on top of think, Douchy McDoucherton.

I was just letting you guys know that I had ultimate's and Ryno's proxies. Relax stringy one. You guys have been on top of the ball, I never said you were not. So, how does it feel to be on top of think? hahaha

I see RePeat is trying to steal my entire pitching staff from last year hahaha. You can have Orosco. He blew a lot of games for us last year. There was no way I was drafting him this year. Suckas....

The Empire has the Look
