            Things have been pretty chaotic here between having two kids who are going back to school, work being a lot, and my wife being on her third recovery from shoulder surgery for the year. I actually just resigned my management position and went back to being an engineer because I have to do too much family stuff and can't commit to the meeting schedule. And now I have to drive my younger one to preschool every day so I can't be staying up so late, which means I really ought to be in bed. More tomorrow if I remember.
            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've got Sixton sitting in my minors. I need pitching help, but I'm currently sitting in 6th in PONY (15 teams). I'm at 80 points and first is 119. Money at 4th is 101.

                My team is shaping up to have a ton of keepers (unusual for my team) and it would benefit me going forward if I did not activate Sixto and kept him in the minors for next season. He probably only gets 3 or 4 more starts right? Is that enough of a difference in this messed up season to call him up?

                    I have him too. Most likely 5 starts, maybe 6 ? Unlikely to top 50 ip. I am in 7th and not too far out of fourth, but I won't activate him. Much more valuablr next year as a rookie

                        I didn't even activate Robert this week. I am pretty conservarive/paranoid about losing rookie eligibility

                            I'm bummed I called up Pearson at the start of the season and got next to nothing out of that. Not sure what to do with that next season.

                                I also have Pearson. Might not be a bad keeper depending on your roster.

                                            I think he will get 4 more starts unless there is something unusual. He doesn't walk many and seems quite efficient with pitchcount. So it is possible he could exceed 50 IP, but I think it is unlikely. I really hope I can keep him as a rookie

It provides a worldwide audience with daily glimpses into the lives of strangers on the streets of New York City. Over time, its success has expanded the blog to feature stories from over twenty different countries. And even spawned a few parody projects. Bots of New York is one of them. However, it's so awesome, it deserves a spotlight of its own.
