      • Apologies for the delay. I was working all weekend at the Food Truck Rock Carnival.
        "Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
        "Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

            Just a sec, let me check if the final round vintage players need to be updated (with 3 extra AB's!).

              • Huge congrats to Revo for his first VD Victory! That must feel very sweet.

                Also big ups to Hacko for an equally impressive 3rd place, especially considering how much he likes to boast about bringing up the rear.

                We're all getting pretty good at this game!

                Fun and fast draft apart ... well apart from all the tedious data entry

                • Heyelander finished a strong 12th overall. I'll bet one of his highest finishes to date.
                  Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                    • top half, bitches!



                      (how is it that I can't find a clip that has both this and the sentence after?)
                      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                      • Congratulations, Ed!

                        • Well done Ed.

                          I continue to wallow in disappointment as I clearly underperformed to my 7th place prediction.
                          "Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
                          "Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

                          • If anyone is inclined, I'd be curious to know where others think I went wrong with my vd9 picks. I have my suspicions, but would like to get other perspectives.

                              I don't know if you intended to punt W's and K's, it's a very tough strat to pull off with the IP minimum. But you really need to score more heavily in hitting to make that work ... and finishing last and second-last in SB's is death. You can't punt six categories in multi scoring. I don't think you intended to punt SB's, so I guess that's where the main error occurred. That cost you the chance of a top 5 finish.

                              • I did okay, certainly by my normally-awful standards, but I didn't decide until partway through when I was already doing poorly in BA that I should dump that, so that made some of my earlier picks suboptimal. And I really regret that Eric Young pick. Any other opinions?
