Fantasy Baseball - Pre-Draft Notice

Greetings Dirt-Dog's!

Your benevolent Comish here, taking time out of my ever-so-busy schedule to write this friendly reminder to get your baseball team ready!

The draft for Standing Room Only will occur next Wednesday, March 14 at 9:30 PM EDT. In preparation for this momentous occasion, here are some helpful pointers and other tidbits of information.

1) Please remember to SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD on Sunday. If you've been living under a rock with your fingers in your ears, you may have not heard this already. A little rider tag inside a piss-poor attempt at a comprehensive energy policy passed Congress back in late 2005 makes Daylight Savings Time start a few weeks earlier this year. That's great for us here in New England, terrible for you Mid-Westerners. Remember to set your clocks so you're not late for the draft!

2) All times are Eastern! I am well aware that we have several folks in the Central time zone this year. Make sure that you're at your computer at 8:30 PM if you live in Chicago. Sorry, but all the important decisions in this country occur in the East, and that includes decisions by this Comish. Think of it as an inside advantage. You'll be more awake than me when it comes time to pick.

3) There will be a Hot Stove season post-draft! Trading, drops and adds will be available before the season actually starts. If you are unhappy with your draft choice, or looking to pick up Big Papi, you can try a second go at it.

4) Taunting is encouraged.

5) Pro-Yankee talk is strongly discouraged.

That about covers it for the moment! When the draft is completed, I will send out a profile of the league. But as a quick snapshot, we have teams from Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Rockford, and Midland in the league.

I swear the next email will be more funny.

Cheers,
Comish

P.S. The commissioner did not make "Mike Made Me Do This" join the league under duress. "Mike Made Me Do This" joined at her own will and at her own pace. The commissioner limited his reminders to "Mike Made Me Do This" to about 7 per day. That hardly seems forceful even bothersome now does it?

I sense I'm digging a hole....
