I had no idea it was this soon... I have to leave in 10 minutes so it looks like I'm going with what Yahoo gives me for the most part.

A live draft with 20 teams could take 15 hours.

Around 2 hrs, not too bad.

I got there for part of it. I think I hate my team.

I'd say I hate my team but I don't think you can call a handful of catchers and closers a team really. Thanks autodraft. Also, I should have taken him out myself, but when a guy is out for the entire year Yahoo should be able to program some code where he's unable to be autopicked. The whole draft snuck up on me though so it's going to be an uphill battle.

Best laugh of the day.  Thank you.

I probably should have picked another date and time. Sunday afternoon made sense at the time I was asked to choose a date, but I suppose it didn't fit into everyone's schedule.

Sorry.

No, it's ok. I have no problem with autodrafting I just didn't realize it was already this weekend.

Yeah, that date snuck up on me too. Oh well, now we play.

Last time I got an auto-draft team, I largely left it alone and wound up coming in 2nd place in my league. So I've learned to trust the Yahoo Auto-draft.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

I got on Yahoo about half way through the draft and I'm glad I did. My team was really coming together like crap up until that point. I think it came out OK in the end but time will tell. Having 20 teams drafting put a different spin on things.

During the draft I was thinking that a good name for this league would be The Really Big League(s). That beng said I still like the League Of Calamitous Intent. Anything Venture Bros related is OK by me. It's also nice to think that David Bowie is our secret Commisioner. Argh. I just thought of the perfect team name for this league. The Diamond Dogs. Next time.

Give the catchers some!
