Desipio Baseball Keeper League 2008 Extravaganza (League Info on page 10)

[Al Yellon]

I'm hoping to derail BC's pain train before it leaves the station, so I did a bunch of laptop science to make some predraft rankings. I'm taking Heath Bell with my first pick, and I'm not looking back. It's science.

Science? Good luck with that, nerd. I hear BC is going to use intelligent design to draft his team. There's no way you can beat that. The word intelligent is right in the name.

[BC]

As a casual observer to this league I am rooting for two outcomes. One, BC dominates. His attempts at trash talk should be very entertaining. Two, BC finishes in dead last, so the trash talk will be even more entertaining.

I have a feeling beating BC in anything is about as satisfying as beating Peter Dinklage in basketball.

True, but that doesn't mean he can't be reminded how easy it was to beat him. And there is a chance that BC pulls it out too. About the same chance that Peter Dinklage is the next Mugsy Bogues, but there is a chance.

I'm figurin' that BC's gonna put loads more time into this league than anyone else.  But will that help?  Probably.  He should be ashamed if he loses to me.  I don't really know too much about baseball.

I have a job now, so instead of 16 hours a day I'm only going to be able to put in maybe 10 minutes a day at this point.

You've been posting less, which is great, so ...

Actually, that's it.  You're posting less, and it's great.

Less than 90 minutes till the draft, ogdenolis!

IT IS NOT GREAT

We all sleep easier, knowing that there is a BC running around out there, maintaining the earthly balance of the cosmos.  We all sleep easier.

Whatever, man. Out of sight, out of mind.

45 minutes, Oglethorpes.

[Corn-fed]

My team is teh McStiff.

Way to laptop science it, though.

[Andy]

Don't drink and draft.  Like me.

[Simmer]

A few gems I snagged from the draft:



A perfect, fitting start to the Desipio Draft.



Kermit explaining his pick of Chris Young, the Padre.



I had to be self-serving for a moment, just because so many of my picks got sniped, and this is the one that I actually got to make.  I also have to note that I'm real surprised at how many Cubs I ended up with.



BC bringing "teh heat".  I don't recall seeing him swear like that before!



Thrillho's comment I thought was funny enough, but the accompany'ing shoe talk made it a keeper.

[BigDrinky]

Don't drink and draft.  Like me.

Is there any other way to do it?  I should have just continued my pre-draft drinking and let Yahoo pick for me.  Couldn't have been much worse.
