      • Well, crap. So much for my most recent plan of drafting a couple of pure pitching blanks at QUIZ. Apparently, there is a rule about 100 IP or 40 appearances for a season. Gary Ignasiak (4.2 IP in his career) would have been a brilliant pick! Then I was going to try to find QUIZ hitters who pitched an inning or two once, lol.

        Back to the drawing board.....

            I once got stuck in nearby Baker, CA, home of the world's largest thermometer. It read 118° during my 3-day nightmare. Yes I bought a t-shirt.

                  Oh shit, I forgot (in multiple ways). I forgot that was my dude, I forgot I hadn't picked a BY for him, and was actively puzzled why his BY was highlighted yellow on my spreadsheet. Give me a few to figure it out, lol. I can't even remember if he has an obvious BY.

                    • With air traffic reduced to a minimum, I guess Controller Jacobs has gone on vacation. Not sure where he could go, however.

                          I've been on vacation for a month, although working from vacation on weekdays. My actual house is quiet since there is no one there, I cancelled a bunch of services.

                          Learning that we can get by on SOOO much less than we think.

                              • I am regretting all my picks, but I think that is the nature of a letter and decade draft---to try to win it, you have to be so exact and have the right guys at the right letters, positions, and decades all come together by the end. With so many moving parts, it is impossible to tell if you are going to get it right. If you have an easy path to finish your roster without hiccups this early, you are probably punting to much or shooting too low to win.
