It is a brutally awful day in the world today, and no matter how hopeful we can be about regime change this fall, that doesn't ameliorate the sadness over the awful events in Iraq and the tragic mismanagement of our nation at home.
If only Bush and his ilk had forgone the pursuit of power, and put time into more trivial pursuits: like baseball!
Help keep this vital safety valve alive, and participate with a bunch of us in our fantasy league. Drafting Thursday night. We have eight of us already, so there's room for at least two more, and up to six additional GMs.
I like my other dKos league don't get me wrong, but I've now designed the ultimate league just in time before registration closes next week.
It's a Yahoo Plus league--yeah it's $25 but face it you'd be paying close to that for the stat-tracker etc anyway ... and you'll be glad to be in a league with SERIOUS players who have put a little bit of money down. A good second league.
League # is 2677 and the Password is experts. Here's the url to join:

Parameters are as follows. 25 man rosters w/ 2 DL, and 14 teams, so the s**t is deep ... LF, CF, RF to keep you honest out there ...
6x6 scoring, usual categories plus OBP and holds. 1500 IP limit.
The bottom line is, you can't find a roto league better configured to give you a taste of managing the real thing: if you've never tried playing with a real outfield, real relief staff, or real competition, come on and join!
