What he said. Hmm, MKid takes one of the 4 pitchers I was looking at but the 4th one I wanted. So not a ton of help in cutting that list down. And he doesn't register complaint over Tabata so that may have been a wasted pick that high.

15. Nick Adenhart (P - LAA)

And MKid, I see no problem in delaying the 24 hour clock for you. You're right, the board WILL look much different in 20 picks and 20 picks is a pretty good run on the weekend. Add in that Army still has a back pick and has one coming up (and another before your pick?) and besides a delay seeming like it might happen anyway it just seems easier to slow things down if we get that far. Besides, I'm sure someone will point out a new loophole that I'll stress over.

[Lucky]

And Army has let me know that he has basically no internet time at the moment and is being kept busy. She's he's given me his 1st pick and asked that I use my list to select the top guy from here on out. So that's how it goes (unless he pops up to say different). So Army's first pick which was back then but is now over here is...

someone kick Pun

[Jack Quinn]

wow, so now Pun is off the clock and Army is on the clock. Will we get the draft done before the guys we are drafting retire?

[Lucky]

By Army's request I'll make his pick from my fancy list. And damn it if he's not getting the guy I hoped might somehow fall to my 5th pick.

Army Picks 20. Scott Elbert (P - LAD)

Pun, pick when you can. Dragon, you're officially on the clock.

[Pun]

I'm sorry, guys. I didn't realize my pick would get to me that quickly. With my next pick, I'll take....

Andy LaRoche (3B - LAD)

[DevSop]

Sorry, Pun...I already have him in the ESPN league. Had a hunch he was getting called up and picked him up right before the draft started.

[Pun]

My bad. I'm on the road, so pick around me if necessary. I'll pick again when I get back home.

[Army Dice Clay]

Sorry for the delays on my part fellas. I handed over my drafting rights to Lucky to ensure we keep this thing moving for you impatient fucks. My schedule down here is so nutso that I cannot give anything for sure as to when I'll be able to be on the net to make a pick, let alone do research to find out who would be a good selection.

Since I could tell you were all so worried, I'm down here at Fort Sill, Oklahoma boiling in this heat and humidity. They run us pretty ragged as far as the training goes and each day is a pretty long day going from roughly 0430 to 2200 most days. Now, its settled down a bit in that at least for the next 11 days I'll be out being the medical officer on this fuel point where at the end of the 11 days we'll switch with the other half of my company and go out to the field while they run the fuel point. All in all, its good training but previous times I went I never had to do this 4 month train-up because I was active before and I just went over there for my time and came home. Here, there's all the pre-mob stuff and all the training here and when we're done over there we still have to come back here to Fort Sill for a week and de-mob which they give us a battery of medical and psychological tests. So, adding it all up its about an 18 month deployment where we won't get home until the end of August of 2008, so next August essentially but that could very well be extended a month or 2. We actually don't leave until August 19 or 20 where we'll fly to Kuwait and we'll stay there for 2 weeks for acclimation then head on up to Balad Air Base/ Anaconda LSA which will be our home for the next year. So we're looking at early September we'll start settling down in Iraq and get to work. So, if I don't accept a trade or I leave someone on the DL in my starting lineup for a while, you now know what's going on on my end. I'm trying to make everything work but you only have so much time during the day. So, there's your update on my end. I am blogging every once and again on MySpace so check it out if you want to know what else is up in my world down here and soon to be over there. www.myspace.com/nonstoprocking and just click on the link to the blog. Have a good day all and pray for Joe Mauer's left quad.

[GoVols]

Hearing about all the great things you do for our country almost makes me feel bad for kicking your ass a couple of weeks ago. Can you please do something wrong so I can revel in the fact that I'm the good in the good vs. evil fantasy matchup. I mean, its easy enough in real baseball, cuz we all know Indians=Good Twins=Evil, but I need more clarification for fantasy.

Oh, I almost forgot, I'm praying for a Joe Mauer left quad explosion. Just so you know why your prayers aren't being answered.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I have Mauer in the OO league. He'll have my prayers.

[Pun]

Since I don't know anything about any other prospects....

Donald Veal (LHP - CHC)

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I guess it's my pick since time expired...

Phil Humber - P, NYM
