Here is my Lineup for position players. Barring good health I should lead in HR, RBI's, Runs, towards the top in Average... I am weak on stolen bases which may be my demise, will see.

My pitching staff looks very good. Many people do not pay attention to this, hopefully I can make up for my slow team. Rodney was my last pick, maybe lighting in a bottle one more time? Again, health is always an issue but I think I picked up guys that will be in there all year.

I love dungeons and dragons for sports fans. Good luck with your team..

I played that for years, all the way back to my first computer that I trash picked (in a rich neighborhood that bordered the inner city of Detroit) , A radio shack TRS80, 70's I think. It was broken but complete. I fixed it with the guiding help of a TV repair place in Detroit. I had to do odd jobs over a summer, for his TV repair shop to pay for the training and repair. I stopped playing in 2000. I was hooked on it for many years.

I call it that because of a guy I used to work with. He was always complaining about kids, including one of his that played various "geek" games as he called them. Dungeons and Dragons, War Craft etc. His word for them was "Geek Games." He however loved to play fantasy football. One day I asked him how his Geek team was doing and he got all upset telling me it wasn't a geek game.

I looked at him and told him that ANY GAME with the word Fantasy in the title was a GEEK GAME! He quit complaining about the games his kid played after that.

I drafted another great team this year.... Can't wait for baseball.

What level are you coaching? Or are you talking about fantasy baseball?

Fantasy baseball.

I've never played that - maybe next year. This spring I'll be busy on the field coaching my daughter and 12 other 13-15 year old girls. We had our draft the other night. Have to say I totally made out like a bandit. Due to some seriously rogue behavior from a few other coaches, I scored the top pitcher in the league and 3 other girls that I had rated in our top 10. Not sure what the other coaches were drinking before they got there but thankyouverymuch! Also managed to get 3 of my daughters "squad" onto our team and was able to totally avoid everyone on my "daughter/dad is a pain in the ass" list. All in all a very successful draft. Now if it would just f^*%!ng stop snowing!

Hey Ho Hosers! How is everyone??????

@JonA_CT great news! Hope the wifey is past the yucks and feeling better.

@Gary A. I'm counting down my days until our trip to Anaheim. I'm happy to know you're having sit outside weather - firepit or no I'm sure it's better than the slushy mess we're getting this weekend.

I played baseball until I was 42 or 43. I coached one year of little league and that was enough for me.

What turned you off? The politics or the parents? It's usually one or the other.

There is a 20-30 degree difference from day to night. Pretty much dependant of the winds. Saturday it was about 82F during the day and dropped to 52F at night. Today it is projected from 74F to 54F. When are you coming?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is in the patio with his second cup of coffee. The Sun is up and blue skies. Last night we had dinner in the patio. Listening to some jazz and a giant salad Mary Lou plucked. A ton of strawberries and peppers and mint ... delish. On Friday, a guest brought pizza ... it was a piece of crap pizza. We were running late and had a few pieces yesterday for lunch before the soccer match ... that was a mistake. It tasted worse on Saturday than Friday and it just sat in our collective gut like a ball of crappy pizza. The salad went a long way in recovering from eating a bad pizza.

After dinner we watched a Netflix, Nocturnal Animals. A very odd ... very suspenseful movie. A story within a story which intertwined. We gave it four stars ... not necessarily because it was a four star, but more because it was better than a three star. Time to get a walk in The Cook.

He has a tattoo of the watch on his wrist, in blue. It is accurate twice a day.
