Fantasy Baseball Idiots
So, my roomie asks me to be the 11th team in his 12 man fantasy league.
It’s a keeper league that’s been around for 6 years - 2 guys dropped out this year.. so they need two more.
For lack of anything better to do, I agree to join up.
Then the 12th league member joins - it’s one of the guy’s wives.
Guess who is drafting for her? Her husband.. ha.. I’m thinking - better watch the trading between those two!
Then, today it gets better.
The girl - someone ELSE drafts for her today.
We don’t do a live draft - but a draft via message board posting.
Here’s an example:
3/2 4:17 pm For Nacho: R13 - Nacho - Oliver Perez (SP - NYM) Old Man (Gramps)
3/12 3:32 pm Round 13 - Okra - Placido Polanco (2B - Det) Bill B (Smokin' Iron 20s)
3/12 2:10 pm Round 13: Yellow Snow-Manny Corpas, RP-Col JJ (Yellow Snow Eaters 6)
3/12 1:39 pm R13 - Resistance - Brad Lidge (RP-PHI)
Note: 4:17 - gramps (not her husb) drafts for her
Note: 3:32 - Bill B drafting for Okra
This league is out of control.
As a matter of principle - I’m going to protest every trade!
Well, sometimes you ask the wrong guy to join your fantasy league.
Like two years ago in football, my buddy John joined, then forgot to log in for a month, or in football this year, my friend Bobby decides not to EVER log in - not even for the draft.

When we draft - we are supposed to leave our team name.
My team name: Turn2Smoot.
Rather than just posting that, every round, I post something different
SmootNation
Smoot4President
SmootSensation
Today, the commish of the league posts this up:
Note To Everyone (especially Smoot)
by: Bill B (Smokin' Iron 20s) Mar 11 4:01pm
Follow the posting format
Failure to do so means I won't update the board as often since it becomes more difficult to follow the draft.
Here’s my reply:
