I'm out now too... I've got some picks listed on my phone though, so I should be set for picks.

[TS Garp]

He was just on again. I'm sure he's working on his pick.

Strangely wasn't too unhappy burning my W. There is lots of depth there, but so many of the options didn't suit me well.

W is looking like a wastela...... oh nevermind.

[johnnya24]

I strongly considered grabbing Waddell instead of Coombs but thought that C was considerably thinner than W and went in the other direction.



Plus, I worry that my unholy affinity for Waddell as a person may cloud my judgment any time I consider picking him in a Vintage Draft.


Most. Awesome. Player. Ever.

I would likely have picked Coombs if you picked Waddell ... nothing between them really.

From wiki:

Waddell was unpredictable, and had a habit of leaving the dugout in the middle of games to follow passing fire trucks to fires. He performed as an alligator wrestler in the offseason. He was easily distracted by opposing team fans who used to hold up puppies and shiny objects, which seemed to put him in a trance on the mound.

The first great power pitcher?

Mario Ballotelli is the Rube Waddell of the soccer world

Excellent! My goal is to not finished dead last. So far so good.

[johnnya24]

So who's watching the final of the darts world championship this evening ... Taylor versus Van Gerwen?

Should be an epic encounter ... Taylor is the 16 times world champion, the greatest player in the history of the sport, and Van Gerwen is the best in the world right now ... Van Gerwen almost had back to back 9 dart finishes in the semis.

No embed ... this is stunning stuff

The same opponent got hit for two 9-dart finishes in one match by Taylor a couple of years back

[johnnya24]

I'm watching the paint drying championships instead.

This is actually fast and exciting action ... and talk about a test of nerve.

... but perfect specimens of athleticism they aren't

[johnnya24]

Have to say, Devlin was a very nice pick up at this stage. I used my D early, and was wondering when someone was going to snap him up ... he's been floating around the top of my lists for quite a while.

Stunning final so far ... 4-4

[johnnya24]

I might want to watch if they were throwing the darts at each other.

When I was a kid, my cousins had a fight, it got out of hand and they started throwing darts at each other. To this day I'm not sure if they were serious or just doing it to scare me.
