  1. Fantasy baseball people, I was thinking of changing the draft to tonight because next Saturday is Holy Saturday. I know this is short notice, so if it works for you, please respond to this post or the email I sent out.

      1. I had the same thought until double checking a few days ago. I actually told my wife I'd be drafting for a while this weekend, so I'm good to go tonight.

        1. It would have to be about three or four hours later for it to work for me. I'll definitely miss it if it's today at any time besides, say, right now.

          If it's great for everyone else, I can live with it. Someone's always going to get burned on draft time, so I can take my lumps if it's the best time we have.

    7. Rob, I have noticed a lot of teams keepers have posted to the transactions screen, however my have not. Did my keepers not go through?

      1. I knew it was next week and I was thinking that that's a terrible idea. There's plenty of stuff to do around here the night before Easter. I heartily approve of the change.

        If the time is the problem for Spooky, earlier would be the preference here. But whatever works best for everyone else.

          1. I'd be willing to do a different day than today. This is Spring Break week here, so we have little going on in the evenings this week.

            1. I can do it during the week as well. Tomorrow night might even work, but would be iffy. I'm terrible at fantasy baseball, so it probably wouldn't matter a whole lot if I was there anyway.

    9. Tonight doesn't work for me, but I also don't give a crap if I miss the draft since I'll probably screw it up myself anyway, so carry on.

  2. on a night 15 people might have paid attention, the Wolves go out and destroy Phoenix
    I mean, Greg Stiemsma is getting dubdubs on ya, something might be wrong

    something to watch for: Michael Beasley has scored 673 points this year, he has 678 field goal attempts

  3. so, reports are that Shabazz Muhammad is a year older than previously thought. Not that it helped him show up in Austin.

    1. yeah, he scored his points, but looked disinterested in the game for the first 30 minutes.

      1. The whole team looked disinterested. Howland made it clear they didn't want to play in Austin and that's exactly what it looked like.

        1. so LA teams dont want to play in Texas. Remember back during the Bowl season all the bellyaching USC put up because they had to play in El Paso?

  4. Twins on FSN+ today. Enough interest for a game log?

    Wild play at 1 (WCHA finals bumped them to an early time)

  6. Gardy says he has the help of advanced stats in crafting his lineup w/ computer projections. But referred to it (jokingly?) as cybermetrics.— Rhett Bollinger (@RhettBollinger) March 23, 2013

  7. This is the first spring training inning of the Twins I've caught. Bert is not skimping on the cliches. I've hardly listened to the Twins feed for two full seasons now and I'm already getting tired of him.

  10. Bert calls scouts the "unsung heroes" of the game. Meh. They get a lot of credit for traveling around the country finding things out that can often be found out by using a computer.

      1. Scouts have been praised for a century. They can share a bit for the next century until they get replaced entirely by roboscouts.

        1. the perfect arrangement be having scouts do their scouting thing and have the advanced stats back up what they see

      1. I told hj I only had enough for one, so I'm sure meat would have appreciated the extra funds.

        1. Yeah, I'm not into being arrested. I am a good time at a party, but not interested in being arrested.

  13. I think we have a new joke that will be retired by June.

    Pitching coach Rick Anderson wasn't worried about 5 hits off Correia, 4 for extra bases: "wind-blown home run and a coupla duck farts"— Mike Berardino (@MikeBerardino) March 23, 2013

  17. Looks like Austin has enough athleticism to compete. They will need to own the defensive boards and limit turnovers.

  18. Still waiting for Joe aase to show up. On the other hand, delasalle's stud hasn't done much either.

    1. When does Spamtown's Amish dude get in the game or is he just the bench cheerleader?

  19. Joe doesn't know how to get himself open in the post and keeps settling for threes. And the guesses aren't helping him much. I would like to see some pick and roll.

  20. If Joe aase doesn't find a way to get involved, this could get ugly in the second half.

  22. high school halftime stats brought to you by (kid you not) Dynamoo chocolate milk. Thats sounds like a SNL sketch

    1. Before that little spurt I was just about to post that it looked like the Islanders were going to put this one to bed. I notice now after the time out DLS is slowing down the tempo.

  27. too bad for Austin. DeLaSalle's season low is 52 points against some team in Kansas. They might not get there tonight

    1. Yea. Some shaky ball-handling, passive offense and nothing going down from outside. Tom Aase played a very good game. Joe never got it going.

      I wanted to see them either trap or go man-to-man in the second half. And they needed to be much more aggressive offensively.

      But Delasalle is a solid team.

        1. I wanted to be there, but we made a last second decision to dive up to near-MN last nigh instead of this morning, which is why I now have essentially the White Sox roster. D'oh.

  29. From a BBC post: Tell me how one team can bat so well, and the next team so poorly? It has to be something not right with their mindset. Summat ain't right.

    I completely agree.

    1. Bella cosa: Jonathan Allsopp: "This is the worst English collapse in Auckland since I slipped on a discarded pie wrapper on the K Road in 2000."
