Wishing you all the best (except continued NSL prowess) on the day of

I vote yes on 10 point wins.  Power to the starting pitcher!

I vote no on any hold points.  Vic summed it up well, I agree
completely.

I actually like the idea of making the points for wins more, but the
idea of points for holds, I am not a big fan of..  I like the fact
that we have a 12 team groups here so that we have to pick up Bob
Uecker's 4th cousin 3 times removed once in a while.  It really makes
you have to pay attention, especially if one of your star players gets
hurt.  If you add the middle relievers to the mix, I think that it
really "waters down" the pool of which our key talent comes from.  I
had a lot of Injuries last year, and although it didnt help my cause,
I really liked the challenge of trying to find the cheap replacement.
  If the hold category gets added, it would be wayyyyyy too easy to
find someone to replace your star pitcher for a buck, and even find
deals that are just outrageous.  I vote yes to more points for wins,
but no way to the holds.  And I can't line Veto, then I vote a total nay..

Vic

If it is a vote on the pitching points..."aye".

I have no idea what a PHP is, but it sounds impressive!  However, I do
know what RHP and LHP mean, and I plan to draft some of both.  There,
how is that for "letting the cat out of the bag"?

Now we just need KC to find a job and the unemployment rate of the NSL
will be 0.00%!

One more thing, I hope this job keeps you extremely busy so you don't
have time to constantly scout on the web...wait a second...you said
web-lackey was part of the job...shoot...all hope is lost.

I have no idea with a PHP is, however, like most acronyms, it sounds
impressive! I hope the position will keep you so busy that you will
not have time to constantly scan the net for the latest baseball news…
wait a second…you'll also be the paper's web-lackey...consarnate that
hope is dashed.

However, I do know what RHP and LHP stand for, and I plan to draft
some of both this year. There, how's that for letting the "cat out of
the bag".

Now if we can find KC gainful employment, the NSL can report 0.00%
unemployment to the Dept of Labor.

If anyone else ends up finding a better deal for the rooms in Vegas,
please let me know so I can cancel mine.

O&O,

Nice work!  Enjoy the big city.  I have only been to
Billings a couple times, but it seems like a nice
place.

Are you going to have to give up some of your side

One of the things we did last year for the first time, and should be
made into an amendment, is the use of waivers to add players
immediately after the draft.

Instead of their being a mad rush of transactions following the draft,
each team had a chance to submit a transaction if they wished. The
order was in reverse of the draft order (in essence, it was the 20th
round).

----------------------------------------------------------------

I received a copy of the Bible in the mail today from Wayman. The
values should be up on the website by end of day!

I assume you only mean children we know about?  If so,
then I am in for two:

Connor - 5 1/2 years
Nolan - 18 months

Nice job on the babymaking, NSL.  Mark checks in with a fresh pair
(Express blessings), Paul is ready to ante (Yadduck junior?), and I
just got a photocard from Karl's three of a kind (Andrew looks like he
could kick my ass).  Can we get an official 2nd gen count including all
of the Borning, Wayman, and Hulberg crowd?  I think they'll outnumber
us soon and maybe someday, have a competing league.

Perhaps there will be a Little Little Meatball one day.

Congratulations to Mark and family on the birth of Marisa; and also
congratulations to Paul and Teri on the announcement of their
pregnancy. I learned of both yesterday - made for an exciting day!

On an additional baby-related note, I officially launched the
BabyNameFacts.com site yesterday as well, finishing up the final
touches on the site and purchasing some traffic. The initial feedback
has been very positive - it's a very neat looking design with a ton of
fun content.

Less than a month until pitchers and catchers report!

Shiite!!

The interview went well, I think there's a better than 50/50 shot
that I'll get a job offer by next week. I'm kind of excited about the
prospects of moving back to a baseball town.

However, not even Billings, MT is civilized enough to have the Bible -
  I checked both Borders and Barnes and Chernobyl to no avail.

Wayman, if you find one, can you mail me a copy like you did last
year? I subscribed to the Rotoworld magazine, so I'll get that one in
the mail, no need to send that one.

Thanks,

Boss Goose

I'm a Bible thumpin' Pujols droolin' dollar memorizin' spring dreamin'
meatball rollin' sunuvabitch!!!

My job in a major bookstore pays off better than just minimum wage.

Let the scouting begin.

Since I will arrive shortly after (1/2 hour) the MN delegation, I too
plan to be falling down.  However my fall will be caused because I
can't carry all my black chips rather than excessive alcohol
consumption.

Delta airlines will be depositing the HiWaymen and Yadducks sometime
around noon on Thursday so we should be falling down drunk and
completely broke by the time the rest of you set foot in Sin City.

83 days, baby.

Bring it!
