  • ok. btw there were some bugs with the first run, so don't get too attached to it yet.
    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.

    • I'm in long-form meeting hell this week, so it will be difficult to respond quickly when it's my turn to pick. PM me and I'll get there when I can. Between tomorrow and the 19th, I have exactly 2 office/computer days when I normally have 3-4 per week. This should be fun.

        I am just at end of my week of hell. Inventory should be wrapped up today. Worked from 2.30 am to 11 pm yesterday. After two 5 am to 10 pm days. I hate Halloween !!!

        Plus I haven't look at this draft since my last pick until just now so I could use a slow pace draft at this time.

          • The Sweet sweet taste of old Hacks Super season. A season that good you would expect better Career stats. If it happen now you would expect Peds. I haven't look him up - any reason for the Big year then meh????

              I haven't been late yet - I am just shooting darts - I am just taking myself out of running for any snow ball chance of finishing anywhere near the top. I am now just going to play with myself (something people have said I am quite good at) and try some quirky method.

                  • I exist, things are interesting at work (and possibly changing jobs), will pick in about an hour.

                      • ok, I'm happy with the condition of the sheets I made. CH.csv, CP.csv, BYH.csv, BYP.csv are the data sheets. CH and CP replace the current ones, BYH and BYP should be added to the end (or sorted into) the existing sheets.

                        caveats and complaints:
                        * You'll need to fill in the "taken" logic.
                        * There were a couple players where Lahman and thomasgeorge had different versions of their names, which was annoying.
                        * I spot-checked a handful of players and discovered that for some reason thomasgeorge thinks Jordan Zimmermann pitched an extra game this year compared to what bbref and ESPN think, but I just don't care enough to find another data source at this point. It's mostly right.
                        * The positional eligibility will not be accurate for anyone who gained new eligibility in 2015, and any players who played only in 2015 do not have any positional eligibility filled in.

                        • Finally look at a spread sheet - was planning on really looking over and forming a plan - but fuck why start now - so to keep draft rolling made a Quick Yaz pick.

                              I recommend happy thoughts. Maybe throw in a happy little bush, or a friendly little tree. It's your painting, you can do whatever you want with it.
