Send Boudin balls to the entire league and we will work around your schedule. Or just me and I will vote for whatever you want

Seems acceptable but I plan to eat all of them. In the entire state.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Anyone want to come to zona for a couple games draft weekend? Looking at you friends in real life.

Point of order. The season actually starts March 20th because of the Korea shit.

Draft date last year: Mar 27, 2023 @ 8:00 PM CDT

So I think we didn't care for Korea stats. Open to discussion

Anyone want to swap picks let me know.

lol. I would but 13th is obviously superior

[henrygandorf 29189]

we all watched the video.  betsy fixed it for me.  this is over.

[Planet Houston 4930]

Man, looking at this years player rankings make me sick I didn’t win it last year. 10 wins more than anyone else in the reg season and choked in the playoffs. Oh wells thems the breaks. 

I also think this is the second straight year Derka has had 3rd pick and I’ve had 4th pick. Or maybe it was 4th and 5th last year.

Anyhow, y’all are fucked, I gotta get back into Gandorf and Derka territory and get my third ring. This is that year. 

[APMP 688]

Has the league been renewed yet?

it has. i just set a draft date and time but that’s not the real date/time, i’ll set that up once we’ve all agreed on a draft date.

also, i’ll submit that we should add another pitching position to our rosters. 3 P, 2 RP, 2 SP feels one P too light to me.

i think it was picks 4 and 5. i drafted tucker > acuna and then traded tucker after his slow start, or, right before he got like 85% of his season statistics. and i somehow still won lol. fantasy baseball. feels good to be back!

its not a bad place, the two picks in a row are kinda neat.  Of course my place in the standings would argue otherwise.

We keeping the same damn divisions again or could we possibly mix it up this time?

we should do a draft, using last year's division winners.
