9 isn't too bad. I just didn't want the 1st or last pick because it sucks making back to back picks after the first round.

True, although I don't always mind having back-to-back picks because I am usually trying to decide between two players, so that way I can just get them both. But then again you have to watch a lot of players disappear until your next turn.

DB, are your invites to the league all going to make it to the live draft?

I believe so. Not 100% sure though.

Happy now, JL?!

Yes. Thanks for asking.

Good. I thought I was gonna need to grab the tissue box.

Did that qualify as our first official "whine" of the season?

With JG in the league, there's no way JL had the first official whine.

JG made this smiley -> specifically for himself.

I need to go do some dishes and clean up the kitchen so I don't get the evil eye from my girlfriend during the draft. Those bad vibes from her could ruin my whole season.

Did I type that outloud?

Draft room is open

And now it's closed... 8:21PM, almost 2 hours. Not too bad, but still pretty slow.

Good luck everyone!

Not bad. Rosters are little bit watered down with the extra people playing, so it should be interesting.

Anyone want Brad Penny? I don't why I drafted a Dodger again this year...

I'm pretty happy with my team but I don't think I did a very good job with my backup players. Maybe because what Lou said, it's more watered down this year.

Great draft, guys! I had to leave in the middle of it (hence my drafting two back-up 2B ), but I wasn't totally unhappy with the players the computer picked.

Can the season start tomorrow???

ASS. COMMISSIONER'S NOTE: The games played between BOS and OAK in Japan this Tuesday and Wednesday DO count as regular season games in this game. (As opposed to Baseball Challenge where the start of the season is Sunday, March 30th.)

So.... are you saying we're supposed to refer to you as the "Ass Commissioner" from now on?

Are you new to this or what?

Sophomore slump... won't happen again.

Commissioner is actually pronounced h-o-l-e

This thread seems very quiet this year.

good way to start the season! I went for a sleep after lunch and let Gil Meche start against the Tigers... -30 in the bank!

Anti-Jinx just worked!

I can live with those 3 pts.

I don't know about anybody else, but after the first day I'm so tempted to hit the panic button and start dumping my pitchers that did bad today and search the waiver picks. I know to stick with them a while to give them a chance but it's so easy to rush to all kinds of *judgments after just one day.

*I like how Firefox corrects your spelling... I always thought "judgment" had an 'e' after the 'g'. How long have I been misspelling that word...

It (was) still MARCH for chrissakes!

Sorry I've been MIA guys... Been away for a week, but now I'm back and can start focusing... Which league is this again??
