Here is the transcript of the "live" draft YIM conference for everyone's reference:
patrickfavole (8:23:17 PM): hola!
mandnwong (8:23:34 PM): Hey, all. Sorry for my own tardiness here
patrickfavole (8:23:45 PM): HOW DARE YOU!

buffalobillsrul2002 (8:25:06 PM): alrighty, tiemt o grab some bench guys!
buffalobillsrul2002 (8:27:38 PM): i was really interestied in milton bradley this year
mandnwong (8:27:53 PM): Silly phone chat app kicked me out by accident. Had to shut the app down.
frankbullsfan2000 (8:28:12 PM): ok back in now
mandnwong (8:30:01 PM): FYI, I have The Birds' proxy list as he's on the road this evening.
patrickfavole (8:30:21 PM): i've also got ryan zimmerman, sandoval, konerko, hosmer, alonso for 3b/inf
ngoldizen (8:31:14 PM): what team is cooper?
cooper7d7 (8:31:42 PM): wpondrouspachyderms
mandnwong (8:31:44 PM): Wondrous Pachyderms
ngoldizen (8:32:14 PM): Naps (Jason) is logged onto the boards but not here
ngoldizen (8:33:09 PM): but he has no picks so nevermind
cooper7d7 (8:33:33 PM): hmm?
claubster (8:34:55 PM): did Wood give you a list ?
mandnwong (8:35:57 PM): no, Big Wood didn't. he usually doesn't.
claubster (8:36:16 PM): Nice
mandnwong (8:36:17 PM): looks like I only got a list from The Birds
mandnwong (8:37:18 PM): Ok. Let's get this show on the road then
patrickfavole (8:38:30 PM): how are you picking for the guys who didn't give you a list?
mandnwong (8:38:36 PM): Everyone gets ~3min to make a pick, but since this is all manual, you usually end up getting a bit of
leeway, so it's probably closer to ~4min though I'll try to say something at the 3min mark to get the OTC pick made asap.
patrickfavole (8:39:48 PM): it's big wood's pick
mandnwong (8:40:00 PM): Just the usual method as before -- which I mentioned in one or two of the messages. Basically, I'm
just using Yahoo O-rank unless it needs obvious adjustment (like for guys being overranked for SBs) and based also on need and
such
mandnwong (8:41:06 PM): I will announce the OTC pick as each comes up, but just be prepared to pick anyway when you're close.
mandnwong (8:41:51 PM): When you make a pick, please do the player add on Yahoo *and* message here as well.
mandnwong (8:42:31 PM): Ok. First pick of the Live Draft is 18.4 - Big Wood
cooper7d7 (8:43:14 PM): is this thing on?

claubster (8:53:55 PM): Mariano's replacement in 14
cooper7d7 (8:54:17 PM): mark montgomery?
mandnwong (8:54:48 PM): Big Wood probably needs another bat since Hart is out until May.

didn't leave instructions
patrickfavole (8:59:48 PM): who did shasta take?
mandnwong (9:02:15 PM): Guru's Island take A.J. Pierzynski since he still needs a catcher (and AJ's near the top of remaining
O-ranked players) while only other actual holes are in bullpen
mandnwong (9:02:26 PM): 19.9 - Sultans
patrickfavole (9:02:31 PM): what about frank

buffalobillsrul2002 (9:05:31 PM): he was your guy?
mandnwong (9:05:42 PM): 20.1 - Wondrous Pachyderms
claubster (9:05:48 PM): good pick with Lucroy , if he can stay healthy for once
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:06:11 PM): i had been sitting on him for about 5 rounds, bu ti was impartial between him and AJ
claubster (9:06:12 PM): he has killed me before
mandnwong (9:06:14 PM): I keep thinking maybe I shoulda waited on Wieters some more since nobody was taking Lucroy, et al.
mandnwong (9:07:00 PM): but I did really want Wieters, especially after waiting on him to develope for a few years, LOL
mandnwong (9:07:43 PM): otherwise, I might've waited another couple rounds to see whether I take Wieters or Lucroy (or maybe
one other option perhaps)
mandnwong (9:09:42 PM): of course, there really weren't a whole lot others to take at that point when I took Wieters anyway
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:09:56 PM): ya
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:10:06 PM): draft really cleans out after like, 10-15 rounds

ngoldizen (9:10:36 PM): he took neftali feliz

buffalobillsrul2002 (9:18:40 PM): ugh
mandnwong (9:18:42 PM): Big Wood could use an RP
mandnwong (9:19:04 PM): unless a much better SP is available for his P slot

mandnwong (9:23:42 PM): BTW, funny I misspelled your team name as Whiskerjacks in the Draft Order
patrickfavole (9:23:53 PM): lol
patrickfavole (9:23:57 PM): didn't even notice
mandnwong (9:24:42 PM): hehheh... yeah, took me a while to notice as well... probably when it was your 1st pick in the slow
draft...
frankbullsfan2000 (9:24:50 PM): taking a big chance here but will try Jordan Pacheco at c and 3b
mandnwong (9:24:54 PM): 20.9 - Guru's Island BP

mandnwong (9:30:48 PM): he was asking about Guru's pick
patrickfavole (9:30:54 PM): haha see O
patrickfavole (9:30:58 PM): i'm not seeing that at all
patrickfavole (9:31:01 PM): lol
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:31:09 PM): i'm not seeing anything.
mandnwong (9:31:16 PM): oh, really?

cooper7d7 (9:31:34 PM): 21.1 Chris Carter
patrickfavole (9:31:35 PM): whatever though, as long as Man is
mandnwong (9:31:37 PM): yeah, i didn't get around to adding him on Yahoo yet
ngoldizen (9:32:02 PM): fwiw, I saw the Perkins pick here
claubster (9:32:11 PM): that was probably the problem
mandnwong (9:32:16 PM): 21.2 - Rusty Bagpipes
patrickfavole (9:32:41 PM): i saw the pick too...didn't see pachy asking about it
patrickfavole (9:32:45 PM): lol
patrickfavole (9:32:51 PM): np
cooper7d7 (9:32:51 PM): wonder if we could just do this on the yahoo league message board?
patrickfavole (9:33:02 PM): or even with the yahoo draft client?
cooper7d7 (9:33:23 PM): right
mandnwong (9:33:23 PM): can't use the Yahoo draft client because we had the slow draft
mandnwong (9:33:47 PM): problem w/ message board is everyone who need to constantly refresh the page
patrickfavole (9:33:49 PM): wouldn't they just act as keepers though?
claubster (9:34:31 PM): if I remember corrctly with yahho it has been be everyone keeps the same amount of players
mandnwong (9:34:37 PM): well, the keepers got set already when we did the keepers (silent drops) part
patrickfavole (9:34:44 PM): oh right
patrickfavole (9:35:13 PM): osu almost came back...too little too late tho
mandnwong (9:35:16 PM): problem is we couldn't do the slow draft between keeper selection and live draft
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:35:20 PM): 21.2 - Mike Adams
mandnwong (9:35:42 PM): 21.3 - Starry Firmament
patrickfavole (9:35:49 PM): couldn't we just do the whole thing as a live draft?
ngoldizen (9:35:57 PM): 21.3 - Eduardo Nunez
patrickfavole (9:36:07 PM): too hard to get everyone there thoo
mandnwong (9:36:14 PM): 21.4 - Big Wood
mandnwong (9:39:09 PM): Given the young/risky SPs, Big Wood take another SP to help out... James McDonald

mandnwong (9:39:54 PM): 21.6 - So Cal Laubsters

mandnwong (9:41:08 PM): 21.7 - Portland Whiskerjacks
patrickfavole (9:42:18 PM): ugh
patrickfavole (9:42:39 PM): everth cabrera and his unsustainable 90% sb rate
mandnwong (9:42:48 PM): haha
mandnwong (9:43:10 PM): that your pick?
patrickfavole (9:43:14 PM): yeah
mandnwong (9:43:21 PM): 21.8 - Franks Shasta's
claubster (9:43:32 PM): hey how about adding the NA slot
mandnwong (9:43:43 PM): NA slot?
patrickfavole (9:43:54 PM): new yahoo option
patrickfavole (9:44:04 PM): basically a minors spot
patrickfavole (9:44:09 PM): or suspension, i guess
frankbullsfan2000 (9:44:25 PM): take another chance here and go with Ryan Madson
mandnwong (9:44:37 PM): 21.9 - Guru's Island BP
claubster (9:44:41 PM): I can't remember the number allowed max
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:44:43 PM): hey rules dquestion
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:44:50 PM): do picks count against our 100-move limit?
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:45:01 PM): the 100-move limit was actually a bit of a probem for me last year
ngoldizen (9:45:12 PM): did frank pick?
mandnwong (9:45:21 PM): Another RP for Guru... Bobby Parnell
patrickfavole (9:45:24 PM): must have but i didn't see it
claubster (9:45:26 PM): yes madson
mandnwong (9:45:33 PM): 21.10 - Sultans of Squat
mandnwong (9:47:04 PM): Sultans take Sean Marshall
mandnwong (9:47:18 PM): 21.11 - Center for Ants
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:47:22 PM): Darren O'Day
patrickfavole (9:47:23 PM): that's a good question, bills. I imagine Man will reset the counter after the draft?
mandnwong (9:47:58 PM): Draft picks do not count against the 100-max add/drops -- I will reset the counter after the draft
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:48:09 PM): awesome!
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:48:18 PM): also, are we actually adding an NA slot or no?
mandnwong (9:48:31 PM): Round 22
cooper7d7 (9:48:42 PM): 22.1 Chris Archer
mandnwong (9:48:49 PM): Sneaker Pimps and Highlanders will join the draft in this round
mandnwong (9:48:51 PM): 22.1 Wondrous Pachyderms
mandnwong (9:49:03 PM): 22.2 - Rusty Bagpipes
mandnwong (9:50:22 PM): Don't know how NA slot works. Does it work just like DL?
patrickfavole (9:50:29 PM): I think so
patrickfavole (9:51:07 PM): I don't see why we'd use it though, since we have such big rosters anyway
mandnwong (9:51:08 PM): Don't know if we can (or should) add that at this late point
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:51:19 PM): i agree
patrickfavole (9:51:29 PM): i agree
patrickfavole (9:51:40 PM): definitely "can", but I agree
claubster (9:51:49 PM): if a player is marked as NA you may place them there , it for players in Minors , suspended and FA's
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:52:25 PM): 22.2 - Justin Masterson
mandnwong (9:52:45 PM): we'll probably need to discuss it and vote... and probably will need to wait til next offseason since
we would've drafted assuming there's no NA slot
claubster (9:53:07 PM): like for Man with tavares , instead of taking a roster spot while he is in the minors he could be put
as NA
mandnwong (9:53:59 PM): some folks probably passed on top prospects earlier assuming there's no NA slot
mandnwong (9:54:34 PM): I had to really debate on each of my prospect picks too, including the later one for Arenado
patrickfavole (9:54:36 PM): certainly would have taken fernandez earlier since I doubt he pitches in bigs this year
mandnwong (9:54:44 PM): aye
mandnwong (9:55:00 PM): anyhoo...
mandnwong (9:55:04 PM): 22.3 - Sneaker Pimps
mandnwong (9:55:15 PM): Will be an autopick for him
ngoldizen (9:59:10 PM): if the player isn't listed on yahoo yet, could I still draft him?
mandnwong (9:59:13 PM): Filling the CF hole... but tough choices here... since his team seems to be rebuilding more for the
future, will take Ben Revere for him instead of the other slightly-to-moderately lower ranked CFs
mandnwong (9:59:25 PM): no. must be listed on Yahoo
mandnwong (9:59:40 PM): 22.4 - Starry Firmament
ngoldizen (10:00:02 PM): 22.4 - Mike Olt
mandnwong (10:00:32 PM): 22.5 - Big Wood
mandnwong (10:02:48 PM): Without any obvious holes to be filled by obvious choices, will just go w/ next highest O-ranked
player for Big Wood... Coco Crisp
mandnwong (10:03:23 PM): 22.6 - Highlanders - also not present; will do autopick for him
mandnwong (10:04:49 PM): Highlanders need RPs... and gets Carlos Marmol as next highest o-ranked RP
mandnwong (10:05:04 PM): 22.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (10:05:16 PM): The Birds take Lance Berkman per his proxy list
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:05:21 PM): is marmol really the best pick for him with this league format?
mandnwong (10:05:25 PM): 22.8 - So Cal Laubsters
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:05:38 PM): i mean, marmol's value is like all his Ks now, and Ks don't count in this league
mandnwong (10:06:09 PM): It's tough to sift thru though
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:06:21 PM): true, fair enough
claubster (10:06:24 PM): Brandon Crawford of the World Champs
patrickfavole (10:06:28 PM): it's all subjective...tbh i think its nice that man is applying an filter at all
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:06:33 PM): i just thought that was an obvious one, havent complained about any others
mandnwong (10:06:33 PM): there aren't any sure things for the next several ranked RPs
mandnwong (10:07:07 PM): if i give him Casilla, might not be that much better in truth
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:07:14 PM): true
mandnwong (10:07:31 PM): and that's 7 RPs down
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:07:48 PM): no fujikawa?
claubster (10:08:03 PM): yeah in this position about all you can do and hopefully get the Handcuff too
mandnwong (10:08:12 PM): anyway, Big Wood likes Marmol I think -- he's a cubbie fan IIRC, but then again, maybe he hates him
now
mandnwong (10:08:31 PM): Fujikawa hasn't proven anything yet though
claubster (10:09:08 PM): just to let you know I have a pick for frank when it is his turn
mandnwong (10:09:12 PM): if u guys feel it, i guess i can give him Fujikawa
mandnwong (10:09:26 PM): oh
mandnwong (10:09:35 PM): he needed to leave?
claubster (10:09:42 PM): yes
mandnwong (10:09:47 PM): 22.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
claubster (10:09:51 PM): he just IM'd me
patrickfavole (10:10:15 PM): al alburquerque
mandnwong (10:10:51 PM): so should I just stick w/ Marmol for Big Wood?
ngoldizen (10:10:59 PM): yeah
ngoldizen (10:11:10 PM): he could change it later if he wants
mandnwong (10:11:33 PM): aye... there's that... probably can find some other RP, if he really wants
claubster (10:11:38 PM): yes , if he gets traded he may end up getting back to normal
cooper7d7 (10:11:42 PM): who? that is a made up name
patrickfavole (10:11:54 PM): lol
mandnwong (10:12:04 PM): 22.10 - Franks Shasta's
mandnwong (10:12:05 PM): haha
mandnwong (10:12:14 PM): What's Frank's pick?
claubster (10:12:43 PM): for frank , Jason Vargas , can you add him to his team man ?
mandnwong (10:13:01 PM): done
mandnwong (10:13:02 PM): 22.11 - Guru's Island BP
mandnwong (10:14:10 PM): hmmm... another RP pick... Veras? Fujikawa? Rondon? Santos? Casilla?
ngoldizen (10:14:31 PM): just stick to the o-rank
claubster (10:14:38 PM): agreed
claubster (10:14:49 PM): bruce sutter
mandnwong (10:14:52 PM): haha
mandnwong (10:15:10 PM): alrighty... keep it simple... Guru takes Jose Veras then
claubster (10:15:17 PM): unless Mitch Williams is still available
mandnwong (10:15:21 PM): 22.12 - Sultans of Squat
mandnwong (10:16:29 PM): Sultans take Ron Belisario
mandnwong (10:16:40 PM): 22.13 - Center for Ants
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:17:05 PM): Mike Fiers
patrickfavole (10:17:27 PM): probably better off with him outta the pen
mandnwong (10:17:45 PM): Round 23...

mandnwong (10:28:31 PM): Another RP for Highlanders... Bruce Rondon
mandnwong (10:28:46 PM): 23.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (10:29:12 PM): Birds take Kyle Zimmer from his proxy list
mandnwong (10:29:26 PM): 23.8 - So Cal Laubsters
claubster (10:31:13 PM): Kelvin Herrera
mandnwong (10:31:22 PM): blah
mandnwong (10:31:24 PM):
mandnwong (10:31:39 PM): 23.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
patrickfavole (10:31:46 PM): weird, my roster is back to how it was before the draft started
mandnwong (10:31:56 PM): hope I don't regret taking Clippard earlier...
mandnwong (10:32:02 PM): haha
claubster (10:32:12 PM): I almost missed him on my list , wrong color crayola
patrickfavole (10:32:23 PM): dillon gee
ngoldizen (10:33:01 PM): go to next day, patrick
mandnwong (10:33:05 PM): 23.10 - Franks Shasta's
claubster (10:33:25 PM): Franks needs Auto Pick
patrickfavole (10:33:28 PM): oh right
mandnwong (10:33:29 PM): otya
patrickfavole (10:33:32 PM): thanks buddy
mandnwong (10:34:50 PM): Franks could probably use a last RP... Sergio Santos
mandnwong (10:35:03 PM): 23.11 - Guru's Island BP
mandnwong (10:36:38 PM): Another RP for Guru... though I think Niemann probably makes more sense than Frank Francisco at this
point, so Guru gets Jeff Niemann
mandnwong (10:37:04 PM): Bummers too since I wouldn't mind taking Neimann here myself
claubster (10:37:10 PM): does Francisco ever make sense ?
mandnwong (10:37:28 PM): yeah, crazy he's actually ranked that high on yahoo
mandnwong (10:37:31 PM): 23.12 - Sultans of Squat
ngoldizen (10:37:44 PM): who ever thought rodney would do what he did last year
claubster (10:39:03 PM): I use Razzball and he is way down there in the Top 400 list
mandnwong (10:40:06 PM): Sultans take Pedro Strop

mandnwong (10:45:14 PM): 24.3 - Sneaker Pimps
mandnwong (10:48:15 PM): Since Sneaker Pimps have a lot of pitching (though not full bullpen) and barely enough bats, gonna
just go w/ Soriano as by-far the next highest O-ranked player for him -- he can pick his own RPs after the draft after some DL
moves... so Pimps take Alfonso Soriano
mandnwong (10:48:25 PM): 24.4 - Starry Firmament
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:49:00 PM): this has been pretty quick
ngoldizen (10:49:17 PM): 24.4 - Nick Hundley

mandnwong (10:50:32 PM): 24.5 - Big Wood
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:50:58 PM): yeah taht is a nice flyer
mandnwong (10:53:01 PM): What's the news on Scott Baker now? Probably take him for Big Wood since his SP rotation is still a
bit iffy
patrickfavole (10:53:22 PM): it's not good
mandnwong (10:53:36 PM): Just DL or high likely of surgery?
patrickfavole (10:53:37 PM): i can tell you I wish I didn't sign him for .5m in mkia
mandnwong (10:53:42 PM): haha
patrickfavole (10:53:50 PM): no talk of surgery yet
claubster (10:53:50 PM): Last I heard still recovering from TJ Surgery , All star break ?
patrickfavole (10:54:12 PM): he was supposed to be ready by opening day originally but he's getting pushed back
mandnwong (10:54:28 PM): Well, would you rather take Colby Lewis? Probably I guess
patrickfavole (10:54:43 PM): yeah but i'm biased lol
patrickfavole (10:54:49 PM): fucking scott baker
ngoldizen (10:54:55 PM): what about doubront
claubster (10:55:24 PM): I have a SP pick , but I aint telling
patrickfavole (10:55:28 PM): i guess with the dl spot though, baker isn't as bad as in mkia
mandnwong (10:55:32 PM): Dubront? Can't see him being a better last pick flyer than Lewis myself
mandnwong (10:55:46 PM): right... we have 3 DLs
mandnwong (10:56:09 PM): and so far, Big Wood has Hart for one
mandnwong (10:56:24 PM): so which one? Baker or Lewis?
patrickfavole (10:56:33 PM): your call
mandnwong (10:56:54 PM): I thought the last news on Lewis was alright, but I haven't followed closely
claubster (10:57:12 PM): Chicago Sun Times March 24 says Baker will miss the 1st Half of the season
mandnwong (10:58:00 PM): alrighty, let him have Lewis then... either way will be a DL guy
mandnwong (10:58:15 PM): Big Wood takes Colby Lewis
mandnwong (10:58:23 PM): 24.6 Highlanders
claubster (10:58:41 PM): I agree with that pick , late May for Lewis
mandnwong (10:59:28 PM): Highlanders could use another RP... Santiago Casilla
mandnwong (10:59:38 PM): 24.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (11:00:20 PM): The Birds take Joaquin Benoit per his proxy list
mandnwong (11:00:30 PM): 24.8 - So Cal Laubsters
claubster (11:00:49 PM): I will steal Doubront from you
mandnwong (11:02:42 PM): haha
mandnwong (11:02:51 PM): u actually like him?
patrickfavole (11:03:22 PM): he's had a good spring, fwiw
mandnwong (11:03:44 PM): maybe I just have blinders on or something... good ST means what?
mandnwong (11:04:06 PM): 24.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
patrickfavole (11:05:03 PM): sergio santos
patrickfavole (11:05:08 PM): and st means nothing
mandnwong (11:05:17 PM): Santos was taken
patrickfavole (11:05:19 PM): but control has been good
patrickfavole (11:05:21 PM): oh
patrickfavole (11:05:30 PM): not in my chat! lol
claubster (11:05:33 PM): The thing about pitching though is someoine is going to step up out of the blue so I can always move
him
mandnwong (11:05:46 PM): Did i forget to add Santos for someone?
claubster (11:06:00 PM): yes ,
ngoldizen (11:06:30 PM): no u did it
ngoldizen (11:06:48 PM): it was an auto-pick for frank
claubster (11:07:10 PM): well I am out of here
mandnwong (11:07:49 PM): yeah, just checked Franks' roster, and he has Santos
patrickfavole (11:07:54 PM): np
patrickfavole (11:08:00 PM): charlie furbush
patrickfavole (11:08:15 PM): for the name alone
patrickfavole (11:08:20 PM): lol
mandnwong (11:08:22 PM): 24.10 - Franks Shasta's -- and speak of the devil...
ngoldizen (11:08:41 PM): roughned odor>furbush

patrickfavole (11:09:11 PM): but i want some stats before 2016
ngoldizen (11:09:54 PM): Man, is your name really Man?
mandnwong (11:10:23 PM): Given his roster, just gonna give Franks the next highest o-ranked (non-Pierre) player by a decent
margin... Cody Ross
mandnwong (11:10:51 PM): yes, Man really is my 1st name -- well, it's actually just the 1st half of my name
mandnwong (11:11:14 PM): 24.11 - Guru's Island BP
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:11:17 PM): come on, Pierre isn't a great player?
mandnwong (11:11:21 PM): haha
mandnwong (11:11:42 PM): u can always take him on your final flyer

ngoldizen (11:18:53 PM): did you collect all the league fees at mkia yet?
mandnwong (11:21:45 PM): Sultans take Sean Doolittle for our final pick... almost forgot him...
patrickfavole (11:22:17 PM): good pick
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:22:20 PM): he was on my wishlist
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:22:25 PM): for post-draft DL pickups
patrickfavole (11:22:27 PM): god, yahoos rankings are terrible
mandnwong (11:22:32 PM): Nick, I have all the fees, except Rays/Jon's. Need to track him down, but he's been waaay busy this
preseason
patrickfavole (11:22:46 PM): hasn't logged in since march 5th or something
ngoldizen (11:23:11 PM): he finally did today
mandnwong (11:23:45 PM): no kidding on the yahoo rankings... Doolittle barely missed my watchlist, and i didn't get around to
adding him as players got taken from my watchlist
mandnwong (11:24:28 PM): oh yeah? anyway, Jon told us he'd be too busy during these last couple months
patrickfavole (11:24:54 PM): yeah, i was looking for people with open MiLB spots and noticed he hadn't logged in in weeks
mandnwong (11:24:59 PM): 24.13 - Center for Ants -- final pick of the draft
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:25:12 PM): Chad Billingsley
mandnwong (11:25:26 PM): another nice flyer
mandnwong (11:25:50 PM): Well, that's all folks...

buffalobillsrul2002 (11:26:04 PM): we moved this pretty well
ngoldizen (11:26:08 PM): dang, we were here almost 3 hours
mandnwong (11:26:10 PM): we actually finished before midnight, lol
mandnwong (11:26:35 PM): well, i basically expected ~3 hours for this
mandnwong (11:27:44 PM): woulda been a bit less if we had gotten another round in... was originally hoping we'd start in round
20 (or maybe even 21)... but oh well...
ngoldizen (11:28:06 PM): ah well it was fun, good luck this season
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:29:09 PM): is what it is
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:29:19 PM): i mean, we got through it fast enough
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:29:24 PM): time for some sleep

patrickfavole (11:31:18 PM): haha that's awesome
mandnwong (11:32:14 PM): And he repeats the feat ~3 months later against Hobbs!
mandnwong (11:32:16 PM):
patrickfavole (8:23:17 PM): hola!
mandnwong (8:23:34 PM): Hey, all. Sorry for my own tardiness here
patrickfavole (8:23:45 PM): HOW DARE YOU!

ngoldizen (8:32:14 PM): Naps (Jason) is logged onto the boards but not here
ngoldizen (8:33:09 PM): but he has no picks so nevermind
cooper7d7 (8:33:33 PM): hmm?
claubster (8:34:55 PM): did Wood give you a list ?
mandnwong (8:35:57 PM): no, Big Wood didn't. he usually doesn't.
claubster (8:36:16 PM): Nice
mandnwong (8:36:17 PM): looks like I only got a list from The Birds
mandnwong (8:37:18 PM): Ok. Let's get this show on the road then
patrickfavole (8:38:30 PM): how are you picking for the guys who didn't give you a list?
mandnwong (8:38:36 PM): Everyone gets ~3min to make a pick, but since this is all manual, you usually end up getting a bit of
leeway, so it's probably closer to ~4min though I'll try to say something at the 3min mark to get the OTC pick made asap.
patrickfavole (8:39:48 PM): it's big wood's pick
mandnwong (8:40:00 PM): Just the usual method as before -- which I mentioned in one or two of the messages. Basically, I'm
just using Yahoo O-rank unless it needs obvious adjustment (like for guys being overranked for SBs) and based also on need and
such
mandnwong (8:41:06 PM): I will announce the OTC pick as each comes up, but just be prepared to pick anyway when you're close.
mandnwong (8:41:51 PM): When you make a pick, please do the player add on Yahoo *and* message here as well.
mandnwong (8:42:31 PM): Ok. First pick of the Live Draft is 18.4 - Big Wood
cooper7d7 (8:43:14 PM): is this thing on?

claubster (9:05:48 PM): good pick with Lucroy , if he can stay healthy for once
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:06:11 PM): i had been sitting on him for about 5 rounds, bu ti was impartial between him and AJ
claubster (9:06:12 PM): he has killed me before
mandnwong (9:06:14 PM): I keep thinking maybe I shoulda waited on Wieters some more since nobody was taking Lucroy, et al.
mandnwong (9:07:00 PM): but I did really want Wieters, especially after waiting on him to develope for a few years, LOL
mandnwong (9:07:43 PM): otherwise, I might've waited another couple rounds to see whether I take Wieters or Lucroy (or maybe
one other option perhaps)
mandnwong (9:09:42 PM): of course, there really weren't a whole lot others to take at that point when I took Wieters anyway
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:09:56 PM): ya
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:10:06 PM): draft really cleans out after like, 10-15 rounds

mandnwong (9:18:42 PM): Big Wood could use an RP
mandnwong (9:19:04 PM): unless a much better SP is available for his P slot

mandnwong (9:30:48 PM): he was asking about Guru's pick
patrickfavole (9:30:54 PM): haha see O
patrickfavole (9:30:58 PM): i'm not seeing that at all
patrickfavole (9:31:01 PM): lol
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:31:09 PM): i'm not seeing anything.
mandnwong (9:31:16 PM): oh, really?

ngoldizen (9:32:02 PM): fwiw, I saw the Perkins pick here
claubster (9:32:11 PM): that was probably the problem
mandnwong (9:32:16 PM): 21.2 - Rusty Bagpipes
patrickfavole (9:32:41 PM): i saw the pick too...didn't see pachy asking about it
patrickfavole (9:32:45 PM): lol
patrickfavole (9:32:51 PM): np
cooper7d7 (9:32:51 PM): wonder if we could just do this on the yahoo league message board?
patrickfavole (9:33:02 PM): or even with the yahoo draft client?
cooper7d7 (9:33:23 PM): right
mandnwong (9:33:23 PM): can't use the Yahoo draft client because we had the slow draft
mandnwong (9:33:47 PM): problem w/ message board is everyone who need to constantly refresh the page
patrickfavole (9:33:49 PM): wouldn't they just act as keepers though?
claubster (9:34:31 PM): if I remember corrctly with yahho it has been be everyone keeps the same amount of players
mandnwong (9:34:37 PM): well, the keepers got set already when we did the keepers (silent drops) part
patrickfavole (9:34:44 PM): oh right
patrickfavole (9:35:13 PM): osu almost came back...too little too late tho
mandnwong (9:35:16 PM): problem is we couldn't do the slow draft between keeper selection and live draft
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:35:20 PM): 21.2 - Mike Adams
mandnwong (9:35:42 PM): 21.3 - Starry Firmament
patrickfavole (9:35:49 PM): couldn't we just do the whole thing as a live draft?
ngoldizen (9:35:57 PM): 21.3 - Eduardo Nunez
patrickfavole (9:36:07 PM): too hard to get everyone there thoo
mandnwong (9:36:14 PM): 21.4 - Big Wood

mandnwong (9:41:08 PM): 21.7 - Portland Whiskerjacks

patrickfavole (9:42:39 PM): everth cabrera and his unsustainable 90% sb rate
mandnwong (9:42:48 PM): haha
mandnwong (9:43:10 PM): that your pick?
patrickfavole (9:43:14 PM): yeah
mandnwong (9:43:21 PM): 21.8 - Franks Shasta's
claubster (9:43:32 PM): hey how about adding the NA slot
mandnwong (9:43:43 PM): NA slot?
patrickfavole (9:43:54 PM): new yahoo option
patrickfavole (9:44:04 PM): basically a minors spot
patrickfavole (9:44:09 PM): or suspension, i guess
frankbullsfan2000 (9:44:25 PM): take another chance here and go with Ryan Madson
mandnwong (9:44:37 PM): 21.9 - Guru's Island BP
claubster (9:44:41 PM): I can't remember the number allowed max
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:44:43 PM): hey rules dquestion
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:44:50 PM): do picks count against our 100-move limit?
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:45:01 PM): the 100-move limit was actually a bit of a probem for me last year
ngoldizen (9:45:12 PM): did frank pick?
mandnwong (9:45:21 PM): Another RP for Guru... Bobby Parnell
patrickfavole (9:45:24 PM): must have but i didn't see it
claubster (9:45:26 PM): yes madson
mandnwong (9:45:33 PM): 21.10 - Sultans of Squat
mandnwong (9:47:04 PM): Sultans take Sean Marshall
mandnwong (9:47:18 PM): 21.11 - Center for Ants
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:47:22 PM): Darren O'Day
patrickfavole (9:47:23 PM): that's a good question, bills. I imagine Man will reset the counter after the draft?
mandnwong (9:47:58 PM): Draft picks do not count against the 100-max add/drops -- I will reset the counter after the draft
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:48:09 PM): awesome!
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:48:18 PM): also, are we actually adding an NA slot or no?
mandnwong (9:48:31 PM): Round 22
cooper7d7 (9:48:42 PM): 22.1 Chris Archer
mandnwong (9:48:49 PM): Sneaker Pimps and Highlanders will join the draft in this round
mandnwong (9:48:51 PM): 22.1 Wondrous Pachyderms
mandnwong (9:49:03 PM): 22.2 - Rusty Bagpipes
mandnwong (9:50:22 PM): Don't know how NA slot works. Does it work just like DL?
patrickfavole (9:50:29 PM): I think so
patrickfavole (9:51:07 PM): I don't see why we'd use it though, since we have such big rosters anyway
mandnwong (9:51:08 PM): Don't know if we can (or should) add that at this late point
buffalobillsrul2002 (9:51:19 PM): i agree
patrickfavole (9:51:29 PM): i agree
patrickfavole (9:51:40 PM): definitely "can", but I agree
claubster (9:51:49 PM): if a player is marked as NA you may place them there , it for players in Minors , suspended and FA's
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (9:52:25 PM): 22.2 - Justin Masterson
mandnwong (9:52:45 PM): we'll probably need to discuss it and vote... and probably will need to wait til next offseason since
we would've drafted assuming there's no NA slot
claubster (9:53:07 PM): like for Man with tavares , instead of taking a roster spot while he is in the minors he could be put
as NA
mandnwong (9:53:59 PM): some folks probably passed on top prospects earlier assuming there's no NA slot
mandnwong (9:54:34 PM): I had to really debate on each of my prospect picks too, including the later one for Arenado
patrickfavole (9:54:36 PM): certainly would have taken fernandez earlier since I doubt he pitches in bigs this year
mandnwong (9:54:44 PM): aye
mandnwong (9:55:00 PM): anyhoo...
mandnwong (9:55:04 PM): 22.3 - Sneaker Pimps
mandnwong (9:55:15 PM): Will be an autopick for him
ngoldizen (9:59:10 PM): if the player isn't listed on yahoo yet, could I still draft him?
mandnwong (9:59:13 PM): Filling the CF hole... but tough choices here... since his team seems to be rebuilding more for the
future, will take Ben Revere for him instead of the other slightly-to-moderately lower ranked CFs
mandnwong (9:59:25 PM): no. must be listed on Yahoo
mandnwong (9:59:40 PM): 22.4 - Starry Firmament
ngoldizen (10:00:02 PM): 22.4 - Mike Olt
mandnwong (10:00:32 PM): 22.5 - Big Wood
mandnwong (10:02:48 PM): Without any obvious holes to be filled by obvious choices, will just go w/ next highest O-ranked
player for Big Wood... Coco Crisp
mandnwong (10:03:23 PM): 22.6 - Highlanders - also not present; will do autopick for him
mandnwong (10:04:49 PM): Highlanders need RPs... and gets Carlos Marmol as next highest o-ranked RP
mandnwong (10:05:04 PM): 22.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (10:05:16 PM): The Birds take Lance Berkman per his proxy list
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:05:21 PM): is marmol really the best pick for him with this league format?
mandnwong (10:05:25 PM): 22.8 - So Cal Laubsters
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:05:38 PM): i mean, marmol's value is like all his Ks now, and Ks don't count in this league
mandnwong (10:06:09 PM): It's tough to sift thru though
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:06:21 PM): true, fair enough
claubster (10:06:24 PM): Brandon Crawford of the World Champs
patrickfavole (10:06:28 PM): it's all subjective...tbh i think its nice that man is applying an filter at all
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:06:33 PM): i just thought that was an obvious one, havent complained about any others
mandnwong (10:06:33 PM): there aren't any sure things for the next several ranked RPs
mandnwong (10:07:07 PM): if i give him Casilla, might not be that much better in truth
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:07:14 PM): true
mandnwong (10:07:31 PM): and that's 7 RPs down
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:07:48 PM): no fujikawa?
claubster (10:08:03 PM): yeah in this position about all you can do and hopefully get the Handcuff too
mandnwong (10:08:12 PM): anyway, Big Wood likes Marmol I think -- he's a cubbie fan IIRC, but then again, maybe he hates him
now
mandnwong (10:08:31 PM): Fujikawa hasn't proven anything yet though
claubster (10:09:08 PM): just to let you know I have a pick for frank when it is his turn
mandnwong (10:09:12 PM): if u guys feel it, i guess i can give him Fujikawa
mandnwong (10:09:26 PM): oh
mandnwong (10:09:35 PM): he needed to leave?
claubster (10:09:42 PM): yes
mandnwong (10:09:47 PM): 22.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
claubster (10:09:51 PM): he just IM'd me
patrickfavole (10:10:15 PM): al alburquerque
mandnwong (10:10:51 PM): so should I just stick w/ Marmol for Big Wood?
ngoldizen (10:10:59 PM): yeah
ngoldizen (10:11:10 PM): he could change it later if he wants
mandnwong (10:11:33 PM): aye... there's that... probably can find some other RP, if he really wants
claubster (10:11:38 PM): yes , if he gets traded he may end up getting back to normal
cooper7d7 (10:11:42 PM): who? that is a made up name
patrickfavole (10:11:54 PM): lol
mandnwong (10:12:04 PM): 22.10 - Franks Shasta's
mandnwong (10:12:05 PM): haha
mandnwong (10:12:14 PM): What's Frank's pick?
claubster (10:12:43 PM): for frank , Jason Vargas , can you add him to his team man ?
mandnwong (10:13:01 PM): done
mandnwong (10:13:02 PM): 22.11 - Guru's Island BP
mandnwong (10:14:10 PM): hmmm... another RP pick... Veras? Fujikawa? Rondon? Santos? Casilla?
ngoldizen (10:14:31 PM): just stick to the o-rank
claubster (10:14:38 PM): agreed
claubster (10:14:49 PM): bruce sutter
mandnwong (10:14:52 PM): haha
mandnwong (10:15:10 PM): alrighty... keep it simple... Guru takes Jose Veras then
claubster (10:15:17 PM): unless Mitch Williams is still available
mandnwong (10:15:21 PM): 22.12 - Sultans of Squat
mandnwong (10:16:29 PM): Sultans take Ron Belisario
mandnwong (10:16:40 PM): 22.13 - Center for Ants
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:17:05 PM): Mike Fiers
patrickfavole (10:17:27 PM): probably better off with him outta the pen
mandnwong (10:17:45 PM): Round 23...
patrickfavole (10:17:50 PM): unfortunately i traded robbie erlin for him in a 28 team dynasty about a week before lohse signed
mandnwong (10:18:00 PM): 23.1 - Wondrous Pachyderms
cooper7d7 (10:18:53 PM): 23.1 Mark Melancon
mandnwong (10:19:15 PM): 23.2 - Rusty Bagpipes

mandnwong (10:23:55 PM): 23.3 - Sneaker Pimps
mandnwong (10:25:32 PM): Could use more RPs... Sneaker Pimps take next O-ranked RP... Kyuji Fujikawa
mandnwong (10:25:43 PM): 23.4 - Starry Firmament
ngoldizen (10:25:48 PM): 23.4 - Brad Peacock
mandnwong (10:26:20 PM): 23.5 - Big Wood
mandnwong (10:27:33 PM): Going w/ next highest O-ranked player for Big Wood... Torii Hunter
mandnwong (10:27:42 PM): 23.6 - Highlanders
mandnwong (10:28:31 PM): Another RP for Highlanders... Bruce Rondon
mandnwong (10:28:46 PM): 23.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (10:29:12 PM): Birds take Kyle Zimmer from his proxy list
mandnwong (10:29:26 PM): 23.8 - So Cal Laubsters
claubster (10:31:13 PM): Kelvin Herrera
mandnwong (10:31:22 PM): blah
mandnwong (10:31:24 PM):
mandnwong (10:31:39 PM): 23.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
patrickfavole (10:31:46 PM): weird, my roster is back to how it was before the draft started
mandnwong (10:31:56 PM): hope I don't regret taking Clippard earlier...
mandnwong (10:32:02 PM): haha
claubster (10:32:12 PM): I almost missed him on my list , wrong color crayola
patrickfavole (10:32:23 PM): dillon gee
ngoldizen (10:33:01 PM): go to next day, patrick
mandnwong (10:33:05 PM): 23.10 - Franks Shasta's
claubster (10:33:25 PM): Franks needs Auto Pick
patrickfavole (10:33:28 PM): oh right
mandnwong (10:33:29 PM): otya
patrickfavole (10:33:32 PM): thanks buddy
mandnwong (10:34:50 PM): Franks could probably use a last RP... Sergio Santos
mandnwong (10:35:03 PM): 23.11 - Guru's Island BP
mandnwong (10:36:38 PM): Another RP for Guru... though I think Niemann probably makes more sense than Frank Francisco at this
point, so Guru gets Jeff Niemann
mandnwong (10:37:04 PM): Bummers too since I wouldn't mind taking Neimann here myself
claubster (10:37:10 PM): does Francisco ever make sense ?
mandnwong (10:37:28 PM): yeah, crazy he's actually ranked that high on yahoo
mandnwong (10:37:31 PM): 23.12 - Sultans of Squat
ngoldizen (10:37:44 PM): who ever thought rodney would do what he did last year
claubster (10:39:03 PM): I use Razzball and he is way down there in the Top 400 list
mandnwong (10:40:06 PM): Sultans take Pedro Strop
mandnwong (10:40:18 PM): 23.13 - Center for Ants
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:42:31 PM): I need a DL guy

mandnwong (10:44:04 PM): 24.2 - Rusty Bagpipes
khenry0105@sbcglobal.net (10:44:49 PM): Joel Peralta
mandnwong (10:45:14 PM): 24.3 - Sneaker Pimps
mandnwong (10:48:15 PM): Since Sneaker Pimps have a lot of pitching (though not full bullpen) and barely enough bats, gonna
just go w/ Soriano as by-far the next highest O-ranked player for him -- he can pick his own RPs after the draft after some DL
moves... so Pimps take Alfonso Soriano
mandnwong (10:48:25 PM): 24.4 - Starry Firmament
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:49:00 PM): this has been pretty quick
ngoldizen (10:49:17 PM): 24.4 - Nick Hundley
mandnwong (10:50:17 PM): nice flyer on Hundley
mandnwong (10:50:32 PM): 24.5 - Big Wood
buffalobillsrul2002 (10:50:58 PM): yeah taht is a nice flyer
mandnwong (10:53:01 PM): What's the news on Scott Baker now? Probably take him for Big Wood since his SP rotation is still a
bit iffy
patrickfavole (10:53:22 PM): it's not good
mandnwong (10:53:36 PM): Just DL or high likely of surgery?
patrickfavole (10:53:37 PM): i can tell you I wish I didn't sign him for .5m in mkia
mandnwong (10:53:42 PM): haha
patrickfavole (10:53:50 PM): no talk of surgery yet
claubster (10:53:50 PM): Last I heard still recovering from TJ Surgery , All star break ?
patrickfavole (10:54:12 PM): he was supposed to be ready by opening day originally but he's getting pushed back
mandnwong (10:54:28 PM): Well, would you rather take Colby Lewis? Probably I guess
patrickfavole (10:54:43 PM): yeah but i'm biased lol
patrickfavole (10:54:49 PM): fucking scott baker
ngoldizen (10:54:55 PM): what about doubront
claubster (10:55:24 PM): I have a SP pick , but I aint telling
patrickfavole (10:55:28 PM): i guess with the dl spot though, baker isn't as bad as in mkia
mandnwong (10:55:32 PM): Dubront? Can't see him being a better last pick flyer than Lewis myself
mandnwong (10:55:46 PM): right... we have 3 DLs
mandnwong (10:56:09 PM): and so far, Big Wood has Hart for one
mandnwong (10:56:24 PM): so which one? Baker or Lewis?
patrickfavole (10:56:33 PM): your call
mandnwong (10:56:54 PM): I thought the last news on Lewis was alright, but I haven't followed closely
claubster (10:57:12 PM): Chicago Sun Times March 24 says Baker will miss the 1st Half of the season
mandnwong (10:58:00 PM): alrighty, let him have Lewis then... either way will be a DL guy
mandnwong (10:58:15 PM): Big Wood takes Colby Lewis
mandnwong (10:58:23 PM): 24.6 Highlanders
claubster (10:58:41 PM): I agree with that pick , late May for Lewis
mandnwong (10:59:28 PM): Highlanders could use another RP... Santiago Casilla
mandnwong (10:59:38 PM): 24.7 - The Birds
mandnwong (11:00:20 PM): The Birds take Joaquin Benoit per his proxy list
mandnwong (11:00:30 PM): 24.8 - So Cal Laubsters
claubster (11:00:49 PM): I will steal Doubront from you
mandnwong (11:02:42 PM): haha
mandnwong (11:02:51 PM): u actually like him?
patrickfavole (11:03:22 PM): he's had a good spring, fwiw
mandnwong (11:03:44 PM): maybe I just have blinders on or something... good ST means what?
mandnwong (11:04:06 PM): 24.9 - Portland Whiskerjacks
patrickfavole (11:05:03 PM): sergio santos
patrickfavole (11:05:08 PM): and st means nothing
mandnwong (11:05:17 PM): Santos was taken
patrickfavole (11:05:19 PM): but control has been good
patrickfavole (11:05:21 PM): oh
patrickfavole (11:05:30 PM): not in my chat! lol
claubster (11:05:33 PM): The thing about pitching though is someoine is going to step up out of the blue so I can always move
him
mandnwong (11:05:46 PM): Did i forget to add Santos for someone?
claubster (11:06:00 PM): yes ,
ngoldizen (11:06:30 PM): no u did it
ngoldizen (11:06:48 PM): it was an auto-pick for frank
claubster (11:07:10 PM): well I am out of here
mandnwong (11:07:49 PM): yeah, just checked Franks' roster, and he has Santos
patrickfavole (11:07:54 PM): np
patrickfavole (11:08:00 PM): charlie furbush
patrickfavole (11:08:15 PM): for the name alone
patrickfavole (11:08:20 PM): lol
mandnwong (11:08:22 PM): 24.10 - Franks Shasta's -- and speak of the devil...
ngoldizen (11:08:41 PM): roughned odor>furbush
patrickfavole (11:08:47 PM): trur
patrickfavole (11:09:11 PM): but i want some stats before 2016
ngoldizen (11:09:54 PM): Man, is your name really Man?
mandnwong (11:10:23 PM): Given his roster, just gonna give Franks the next highest o-ranked (non-Pierre) player by a decent
margin... Cody Ross
mandnwong (11:10:51 PM): yes, Man really is my 1st name -- well, it's actually just the 1st half of my name
mandnwong (11:11:14 PM): 24.11 - Guru's Island BP
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:11:17 PM): come on, Pierre isn't a great player?
mandnwong (11:11:21 PM): haha
mandnwong (11:11:42 PM): u can always take him on your final flyer
mandnwong (11:13:05 PM): Guru takes Jared Burton to fill out his bullpen
mandnwong (11:13:19 PM): 24.12 - Sultans of Squat
ngoldizen (11:18:53 PM): did you collect all the league fees at mkia yet?
mandnwong (11:21:45 PM): Sultans take Sean Doolittle for our final pick... almost forgot him...
patrickfavole (11:22:17 PM): good pick
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:22:20 PM): he was on my wishlist
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:22:25 PM): for post-draft DL pickups
patrickfavole (11:22:27 PM): god, yahoos rankings are terrible
mandnwong (11:22:32 PM): Nick, I have all the fees, except Rays/Jon's. Need to track him down, but he's been waaay busy this
preseason
patrickfavole (11:22:46 PM): hasn't logged in since march 5th or something
ngoldizen (11:23:11 PM): he finally did today
mandnwong (11:23:45 PM): no kidding on the yahoo rankings... Doolittle barely missed my watchlist, and i didn't get around to
adding him as players got taken from my watchlist
mandnwong (11:24:28 PM): oh yeah? anyway, Jon told us he'd be too busy during these last couple months
patrickfavole (11:24:54 PM): yeah, i was looking for people with open MiLB spots and noticed he hadn't logged in in weeks
mandnwong (11:24:59 PM): 24.13 - Center for Ants -- final pick of the draft
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:25:12 PM): Chad Billingsley
mandnwong (11:25:26 PM): another nice flyer
mandnwong (11:25:50 PM): Well, that's all folks...
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:25:59 PM): good draft guys
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:26:04 PM): we moved this pretty well
ngoldizen (11:26:08 PM): dang, we were here almost 3 hours
mandnwong (11:26:10 PM): we actually finished before midnight, lol
mandnwong (11:26:35 PM): well, i basically expected ~3 hours for this
mandnwong (11:27:44 PM): woulda been a bit less if we had gotten another round in... was originally hoping we'd start in round
20 (or maybe even 21)... but oh well...
ngoldizen (11:28:06 PM): ah well it was fun, good luck this season
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:29:09 PM): is what it is
buffalobillsrul2002 (11:29:19 PM): i mean, we got through it fast enough
