well, i guess I'll hang around until my wife's best friend's brother gets taken, but then i've really gotta go to work

 

Nate Culp, if anyone's interested.

 

Nate just told me he's never heard of you.

 

Has anyone else formed a mental picture that Is_Pedro_There looks like Earl?

yes

 

Absolutely.

 

Also NCCF is a red alien. I'm convinced.

Rumors that I'm shaped like a can of beer are cruel and totally off base. A keg? Maybe, but a can of beer definitly not!

Actually I picture you as your old sig photoshop with the Cubs Fan and stay-at-home dad looks.

Brett Anderson finally off the board to Arizona...took awhile longer than I thought it would.

yeah, that one

[BeerHere]

Thinking about past drafts, the Cubs have had some doosys for first round picks, off the top of my head:

 

Pawelek - looks like a keeper but he hasn't pitched above the rookie league

Johnson - meh, jury is still out but he's been unimpressive as a first rounder IMO

Brownlie - ugh

Harvey - ugh, hitting under .200 in A ball

Prior - not sure what to say here, but we could have had Texeira.

Montanez - ugh, but he's hit well since the shift to the outfield

Christiansen - double ugh

 

 

 

Not a good history

Colvin will fit right in.

I actually look just like Joy. With Randy's body and hairline.

The "Stay At Home Dad" pick cracks me up

Johnson - meh, jury is still out but he's been unimpressive as a first rounder IMO

 

Techincally, Pawelek had two starts last season in Boise and Grant was a second rounder.

[Derwood]

i wish i could claim credit for drawing them, but I made them here:

[texascub]

The first Illinois player just went off the board, William Benson OF from Joliet.

Rumors that I'm shaped like a can of beer are cruel and totally off base. A keg? Maybe, but a can of beer definitly not!

 

Does this mean you guys think I'm Cedric Bozeman based on my avatar?

No. I think most of us picture you as a little, wrinkled, purple dude with big sunglasses.

People that change their avatar too much don't qualify. :P
