Fancy Baseball
by Tom on Feb.28, 2005, under Uncategorized
Trying to explain “fantasy baseball” to some people can be difficult. Hell, it’s difficult to explain to most people. Explaining a fantasy baseball draft to people is just downright impossible.
I try to avoid these situations whenever possible, but since I’m at work on a Monday (which isn’t usually my schedule), that brings up the question of why my schedule was different. Now, if I were a thinking man, I would have said something like “I was having warts removed with a laser” or “there was a plane crash and I was called to identify a body”, which would have eliminated any followup questions. But no - I say things like “I had a fantasy baseball draft.”
“What? What’s fancy baseball?”
Sigh. The weekend was good though - I always enjoy the drafts, despite how annoying some of the people can be or how crappy I do in them. The Scoresheet draft is always fun, just because it’s an auction draft and causes mass havoc. Granted, it’s a lot of the same jokes every year (which some members of the league drill down our throats), but it’s still good times. I drafted like crap this year, but it seems like a lot of us did. I’m thinking we’ll see a decent amount of trades before the season starts, which’ll be cool, because we never have that.
Anyway, just wanted to get that out of the queue. More stuff later.
