My Doughnut Hole

It wasn't my intention when my day started to start a blog. I had never seen one, nor had I any idea, whether I wanted one or not, how to start one. But here you go.

Should this be a diary? Will this be the hitching post for Fantasy Baseball '05, where all information springs from --- from standings to trades, draft information, and all else that a Fantasy Owner could go to. You tell me.

Will this be a message board for Stars fans? I've already got my own web site for that though. (Go to www.starsboxscore.com)

I see no need to write a friggin autobiography here. Anyone reading this probably knows who I am, and I don't like to talk about myself, but should I use this to tell you what my three cats, Bailey, O'Malley, and Baxter did today?

Well looks like there are more ideas than I thought. So if you have any, throw them this way.

well hello commissioner blogspot.com

Awesome to see this blog. And the best part is, when you use it for fantasy baseball it's easier to update than a website and, even better, it's free!!!

I spent part of the day watching the greatest world series game I ever missed. ESPN Classic did an hour on the '88 series game 1. I missed it live because of a wedding rehearsal (not one of mine I might add). I walked into the room just after Gibson's homerun.

Only 41 days until pitchers and catchers report!!

February 6. A couple of people at work asked me this morning who would win the Super Bowl. I said Patriots by 3.

In overtime.

Not exactly perfect.

So far I think the word has gone to three other potential owners of this league, which does not seem to have an official name as of yet. If I gave it one, I've forgotten it. Brian Covington, who probably lost the piece of paper I wrote it on, Dave Schmidt, who has probably forgotten I mentioned it. Me, who seems to have forgotten to post anything on it, and Jamey Tucker, who hasn't.

Right now, I'm in the process of scratching out names and prices. I'll have the names real soon. That's easy. The prices will be more agonizing.

Once again, I'm using The Sporting News Fantasy Baseball Magazine, now out in bookstores. For $8. From my first impression, there won't be a single $50 player this year. Bonds, Guerrero come close, but will probably be $48 or $49. As in the past, each team will get a $300 cap to spend players on: One player from each position, except for pitching, where you'll be able to draft five.

Draft date is March 26. Schmitty, of course, wants to hold this at Hooters, which I don't object to if everyone wants to meet at the station and travel there at 1 pm. I have to work Saturday and don't get off till 1. It's easier, of course, to do this at the station where we can keep Jamey Tucker on the line, otherwise I'll have to have a charged up cell phone.

More details later, here as they happen.

T8r guy,
Since I work between 5 am and 1 pm, I would have to face reality and disappoint Schmitty and hold this draft at noon at the death ship. As much as I'd like, Hooters is out. It's just not possible to have it there.
