          Yeah, it will be interesting. I haven't done any projections or anything...but this seems like it will be a very tight race. Lots of good picks, not many WTFs.

            The site seems to be loading especially slowly for me this afternoon. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

            RJ is such a simple site, I don't think I've ever been able to see it individually load images/elements on the page before.

                Ah, the proud annual American tradition of right wingers and libertarians trying to co-opt the antithetical message of Martin Luther King, Jr. for their own shitty purposes. Assclowns.

                  Impressive restraint.
                  If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                      I tried it for a little bit but just couldn't get into all the mouse clicking --- kinda the same reason I never dug any of the Diablo games all that much. I didn't give it much of a chance, though.

                        It occurred to me during the last draft that there was a really basic strategy that everyone was overlooking. In the letters drafts we have the artificial limit of three deadball pitchers, but we don't in this draft, and still nobody ever takes more than one or two. So there's a whole bunch of the second-tier ones left over at the end. I figure if I just take all of those, I can dump saves and still end up with a really good pitching staff.
                        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.

                          But we only get one per decade (1870-80s, 1900s, 1910s) so how is it any different?
