    Looking at the radar it looks like there is small band that will get there right around game time, but after that passes quickly I think they'll be good to go for the rest of the night.

    I'd also like to say that I'm glad y'all got him and not the Bucs.

    late in the day brain fart, sorry, McMahon.

    This is HUGE for the Bears. Y'all haven't had a QB since McMann really. Cutler is the real deal.

    Sometime in the mid 60's.

    Frank Thomas used to be BAD TO THE BONE: 7 straight .300/.400/.500 BA/OB%/Slg 7 Straight 100 Run/Walk/RBI 7 Straight 170 OPS+ playing at least 140 games (or pro-rated to 140/162) 5 straight .600 slugging 4 Straight .600 slugging/.450 OB% Did the emergence of the steroid era in the late 90's serve to overshadow Frank's early to mid 90's greatness in the minds of the common fan? I think so.

    Nice high quality image of what is probably the most famous photograph ever taken in baseball history. It was taken on July 23rd, 1910 during a game between the Tigers and Highlanders (now Yankees) in New York. The baserunner is Ty Cobb (23 at the time) and the third baseman is Jimmy Austin (29). Some insight from the photographer: Also, at about 6:20 in you can hear an 80-something year old Austin talking about the photograph. Pretty neat. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/cobbaustin.jpg

    Yes, you see that alot in fantasy where a guy might be very valuable in the "real world" but not in fantasy. Oh another thing to keep in my mind is how UNvaluable outfielders are. I didn't draft any outfielders until like the 10th round or so. It is my opinion that unless you come across some uber-stud outfielder like Carlos Beltran was a few years ago, then you would be wise not to take an OF high. The reasoning being that outfielders are dime a dozen in that the difference between an elite outfielder and a regular outfielder is slight. For example, look at last year's stats. There were 23 outfielders with 25 or more HR (the most being Dunn with 40) and 25 outfielders with 85+ RBI. First base is similar as well in that there are plenty of guys who can get you 25 HR, 85 RBI, and score 85 runs. Thus, unless a truly elite player at one of those positions falls in your lap in the first round or so, it is wiser (at least in my opinion) to take a stud SP or middle infielder high in the draft.

    In 10 years when some schmuck breaks his jaw from a pitch they'll probably make everyone wear these dopey things: http://www.worldofstock.com/slides/PRE8495.jpg

    Definitely go with the average closer. As far as draft strategies go, I try and draft more stud pitchers than batters in the earlier rounds. I generally only have one or two batters on my bench. I try and load up with pitchers because an extra SP will help you far more often than a bench player will since the bench player rarely contributes but the SP can always contribute (assuming he doesn't suck).

    It's fixed bud.

    http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/cobbyank.jpg This was a year before the Yanks got Ruth. Imagine a team with your 2-4 hitters being Cobb, Ruth, and then Gehrig. That'd be pretty horrifying for an opposing pitcher.
