I'm sure that would go over well with the Mrs...Originally Posted by yanksphan
Hmm...I'm thinking San Diego might be a good place for a get together...we could have the auction on the beach, complete with ring-girls in bikinis to announce the players!

I can envision us all on a beach with people in bathing suits all around and we're all sitting there with spreadsheets and things, fully clothed, auctioning.

Not to my knowledge; I have everyone's first name, and there was nothing even remotely feminine, so I decided "gentlemen" was alright.

Like I ever have ANY other reason to go to the beach...
Believe me - on the beaches here, that wouldn't be the ODDEST thing you saw...I can envision us all on a beach with people in bathing suits all around and we're all sitting there with spreadsheets and things, fully clothed, auctioning.

In the other league there are a couple, I'm kind of shocked we have no ladies in ours.Not to my knowledge; I have everyone's first name, and there was nothing even remotely feminine, so I decided "gentlemen" was alright.

Yes! He's off work today, but I just had to call him and let him know that he "just caught a stiff jab" on the boards.well, there's that Mets fan....
His reaction when I told him:

You KNOW you've been burned when it's a 3rd-party-phone-call-burn...I love that fact that you called to notify him of the burn!
Although I would guess METS fans are used to that type of thing!
Man, I better finish higher than him this season...

I can't believe you just said "jammy jumps off."
Oh Yeah! Duffman is thrusting in your general direction!

If i run out and blow 150 on my first couple picks, who's going to spot me? Anyone? Anyone?
You don't have to worry about that-I'm pretty sure people will wait till a bit later in the draft to introduce Flaherty, for strategic reasons.

Another thing -- how early can we go into the Fantasy Auctioneer auction room? Yahoo is usually about 30 mins before hand.. i want to get there a little early and trash talk in the chatroom.
I think they said a half hour. I'll be there then.

I just got off the phone with the guy from Fantasy Auctioneer. I have his cell phone, so we're good if anything goes wrong.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU GET DISCONNECTED< THE COMPUTER AI WILL BID FOR YOU!
I WILL TRY AND STOP THINGS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE IF SOMEONE DROPS OFF, BUT I CAN"T GAURANTEE ANYTHING.

was it an auction draft though?
Btw, I just realized that this draft runs head on with the holiest time of the week - - 24 time. I'm torn. Ultimately, i will choose the draft.
and my shift key just broke. great.
No, not an auction draft, but I'm pretty sure I just saw you shaking in your boots a bit. Or shoes. Or whatever footwear you're wearing.
And I have an idea Kev-we can make it so that owners need to hit the shift key to make a bid! Just a suggestion, completely unrelated to anything above.

I'd like you all to know that I have never lost a fantasy season that started in an auction.
Luckily, I have 2 shift keysthe one on the right side is still operable, but it's very awkward to push. I don't think i've pressed it once in my whole life, the right shift key...
One word: TiVo.
Fantasy Baseball: Larrupin' Lou's; New York Knights.
Bingo.
Doing that right now before I forget!
