general random thoughts
i am obsessed with my fantasy baseball team. it's pretty much the only thing i can think about these days. thursday night i'm meeting friends for happy hour (i'll be a bit late, by the way) and i am going to make a most concerted effort to avoid talking about baseball. it will be a challenge.
as of this morning i was 2.5 points out of first place in my twelve person league. on april 30th, with a lead of 4 points, i moved into first place for the first time. i've hovered in and around first place for the past month. i had no inkling my rotisserie team would do so well. on nights that don't involve going out for happy hour drinks i find myself at home obsessively flipping from one baseball game to another. the whole thing is well beyond ridiculous.

on another note, is online poker the new day trading?

I swear, if I do go to happy hour and everyone is talking about fantasy baseball again, I am never hanging out with any of you again until October. If I had a team in your league, I'm sure I'd be fine with it. I don't think I'd obsess quite as much as the rest of you, who knows, but I'd be in for discussing some aspects of what's going on in the league. But as it stands, I do not have a team, and having no financial stake in baseball at all, I pay almost no attention to it. So for FUCK'S SAKE people, SHUT UP about the damn baseball! If you want me around, anyway. Otherwise, carry on.

By the way Marc, I really like the photo that you've got up of the wedding party. Tough!

Fantasy baseball can be pretty all consuming. The live scoring page is especially addictive for me.

Marc, I am totally kicking your tail!
