(294) Steve Pearce OF I just realized that I don't own a single Met, only castoffs like Matsui and A-Hern. In an NL-only, that's exceedingly difficult to do. Um, congrats? That said, Arroyo, Owings, Ishikawa and Baker were nice value picks. Out of curiosity, where did Jordan Schaefer go? He went late (first pick of round 23). I considered him as a handcuff to Anderson but ended up trying to find guys I thought were more likely to break into starting lineups, like McCutchen. Invaluable to me were ESPN's team by team depth charts, just to comb out all the names of starting position players and likely rotation candidates.

Although, like most things, it's better in 30 seconds as done by bunnies. Oh I just lost 15 minutes of my life with those damn bunnies. They rule.

Attaboy. I posted the link on another FBL forum site that has a "classifieds" board. Up to 9 owners...

Daily roster moves, cooby.

Coen brothers' drama starring Billy Bob Thornton and an ensemble cast. Watched it on my Zune while traveling for work last week and liked it.

I really don't want to open this league up to the hordes at yahoo, but I just don't have enough teams yet. we won't at any point open the league up to strangers. but everyone who has joined feel free to invite someone you know now. I will post the link on the boards for the other leagues I am in. The prizes should serve as incentive to join (it worked for me).

Bump again. One more owner would be awesome (we have 11)...

Sorry, I have only done the serpentine style drafts myself.

We are up to 10, which is better.

Bump again. Still just seven so far. Really, short of 12 and it's just goofy.

Just six owners? C'mon people, that ain't gonna cut it. (bump)

In like Randy Winn.

Tap. This time it is by merit of their great appearance on "The Simpsons," and also the scene in the film where they all have herpes. That shit kills me.

I am voting for Blues Brothers. Apologies to the white-hot Lea Thompson but I am a music fan first. Plus I will penalize Back to the Future because of the subsequent infliction of BTTF II and III that was disseminated. YOU GOT MY CHEESE WHIZ, BOY?

Die Hard doesn't even have a hot chick. All apologies to Bonnie Whatshernuts and her stupid 80's poofy whitefro. Fmeat and I are going with Julie Hagerty as she services the automatic pilot (coincidentally, another nickname for Fmeat).

Any time George Lucas doesn't direct one of these things is a good time.

You wear too much makeup. My sister wears too much makeup. People think she's a whore.
