Unless I'm in a meeting, I can be pretty well counted on to be ready with picks when I'm up.

Yeah that's what I assumed. I see you on most of the standard business days. How about weekends?

I'm usually online mid-to-late morning into the early afternoon, and then again later on in the night. If something like this is going on, I'll at least check in a little more frequently.

The majority of that time is spent keeping tabs on the Forums, so I'm pretty easily accessible throughout.

OK, so PF takes Tim Lincecum, Hamels as his first 2 picks then Shaun Marcum in the 7th round? lol!

Seriously, PF will be here, he's very reliable...once he's awake! Sleep

I'm surprised Ray can still see his keyboard.

Almost took today off work, but couldn't do it. I'm not a big fan of St. Patty's Day actually, it's amateur hour out there. Nothing but a bunch of guys using this as an excuse to go great drunk, a true alcoholic does it without a reason damnit!

Figured all the non-SSD guys hadnt seen this one yet....and that this was a perfect moment to share with the class. Ray, you shouldve NEVER posted that.

Hey guys- I have a 3 hour physical therapy session today.
Who picked first? I can leave a pick list with him.

You can leave it with me if you want, and I pick after your next pick. Just PM it to me on here or RW, whichever works.

Ray ... you've got to promise to stay sober or else those picks will go to waste your keeping!

Man, it was so hard to clean that shit up. Likely cost me Madison Bumgarner and Derek Holland, but I think I'm good to go now. Just had to find a sucker to take Hamels from me before his arm fell off. Sorry Ray, I thought you would *at least* get half a season out of him. Very Happy

Well, since it was Ray who raped both fontaine *and* Gary (repeatedly, I might add), there was some karma working there. Losing Bumgarner hurts, but you did pick up Desmond Jennings with the 3rd rounder you got back, so not a complete loss. I really think Holland is going to have be *extra* special to succeed in Texas - what's the line KG used about Feliz & Holland in Texas? "Trying to grow a couple of roses in a blast furnace" LOL.

On a related note, Ray, you text Kyle again? Figure he must not be awake yet, LOL. Sleep

Hmmm...I just texted him, because I noticed 3 things:

1. He hasn't logged on to this website since last year.
2. He asked about joining back this year with delayed payment a while back (and we all said yes then), but he wasn't on yesterday on RW Rotowood website, so I'm not sure he knew that he's back in *and* that we started (DOH)
3. It's not like him *not* to show up by now.

Eh, a while ago I use to talk to him on YIM about it. I just don't think he knows the draft started and he's probably still sleeping. I mean, it's still "only" 12:45 his time.

Has anyone tried to call his cell phone instead of just texting? If he doesn't even know he's in the league, maybe we need to confirm he actually wants to be here. If not, let's replace his ass and move on!!

Haven't had a chance to call him myself, been on the phone all day. Still trying to catch up from the weekend, let alone Monday. The only way he isn't in the league is if he changed his mind like a week ago, and then didn't bother to tell anyone. He just sleeps really really late lol.

I've only been in 2 leagues with him, but when he says he's in, he's in. Like Ray said, he probably doesn't even realize we started, and he's sleeping. Once he realizes we've started, he'll be his usual reliable self (AFK times noted in earlier post).

Yeah, I mean didn't have a full league as of yesterday, he wasn't able to log onto RW yesterday, and then we started the draft that day lol. He is actually one of the few that would give a deep list before work, even if he were 10+ picks deep. Once he realizes it's started, like RRF said, we'll have no problems and he'll be one of the more active guys around here.
