I'm not sure why I used the elephant emoticon, but then again, what IS it for?

The elephant likes to pork the pig? har har har

South Park did it.

I'm not sure if you are trying to confuse me, but if not that went straight over my head.

You never saw the South Park episode where the elephant & pig have sex?

Not that I can remember, but I have the memory on par with those stuck in nursing homes.

The Boobmeister is on. We shall roll soon.

Well Alex, I see you are still holding a grudge against OFs in yet another league


I'm just bored, and needed to post something. blah blah blah. You guys like your teams? I will love or hate my team after my next pick.

My early picks are easy to predict, as I tend to always wait for pitching & OFs. I actually wasn't just responding to the picks of others; it's just me being pig-headed!


I'm liking my roster in these early stages, but I'm looking to have fun in this league, so let the trades flow! Everyone other than Reyes is on the block, BTW.

Tell me who you are picking next so I can snipe you.

Another Cubbie!

Well if that's the case, then better you then me. Those heartless bastids...

So you would would suggest I wait a while longer to snag Mike Fontenot?

I would suggest you hit him in the face with a golf club for me. Free entry fee if you do it!


Maybe I'm crazy, but that doesn't look like a cat to me. And that looks like an evil rabbit, not a clown.

Hey Alex, is John around and on for the day? Just didn't know if we should text him that Dale just got on or if you're posting his pick the second Dale posts his....?

I have RRF's pick for this round. We can text him for the other rounds if he's not around.

Ok, that works, I'll shoot Vriez a text for the heads up.

Assuming RRF does NOT get sniped.

Then we just make Dale pick again, no big deal. That is if he comes back damnit!

Wasn't Dale just here? Where the hell did he go? Damn it!!! Give him Royce Clayton.

Yeah, he was just here. I'm thinking Preston Wilson if he's not back in 5.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Nah....there was an episode of South Park in which one of the characters came up with the plots to exact revenge on the other kids, and each one was preovusly used by the Simpsons, and another character would "Simpsons did it!" every time another idea came up.

An early SP focused on the boys trying to mate an elephant with a pig.....

He needs a catcher I believe, and I know he's an A's fan, so mark him down for Terry Steinbach, and we can move on.

I vaguely remember the Simpson episode, but not entirely. Use to love the older SP's but it just got really dumb, and dumber each season. Might have to go watch the elephant and pig episode.

It was when we got introduced to Butters as Captain Chaos.

This one looks like Bongo from the old Life in Hell comics.

That's what I call a slooow offline draft.

UMMMMMMMM

Athletics released catcher Rob Bowen.
He'll be owed one-sixth of the $535,000 he signed for back in December. It appears that the A's will go with Landon Powell as the backup to Kurt Suzuki. Bowen will probably have to go to Triple-A before landing another backup gig.

Ah, ok.


I was thinking Arthur.

Saddest day of my life. You guys waste your time stashing Weiters, I'm gonna stash him. It's just a matter of time!

Can we keep the commentary on picks to this thread?

I keep checking in, seeing that there's a reply in the Pick threads, and instead of crossing a name of the list, I'm seeing discussion and AFK notices.

Not trying to be a dick, but I don't want to miss a name or to in the midst of things.

No worries - I only post there when it's the end of the night or to give ETA's when owners are OTC but not coming right away, as other owners didn't bother checking the Text notices in the other drafts.

BTW, as a double-check, the Entire Draft Thread that's pinned should help as well to keep your player lists current. The player list does that in theory, but then we have to depend on Ray.

And FWIW, I was the 3rd owner who targeted Votto this round. In that bandbox, while I think he's got a lower ceiling than most of the young guns, he's a lot closer to achieving it this year. 30 HR's not a stretch in that launching pad (would be in most other venues).

That's classic.
