John

Have you thought of doing the draft over a few days and assigning time slots? It appears most of the people that signed up are very young and don’t really care or are complete flakes.

by riktermiller on May 31, 2008 5:17 PM EDT reply actions  

draft

I have thought of a lot of things including throwing my computer through a window.

by John Sickels on May 31, 2008 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think that

we should call it quits now. If we have to I can do the 5th round but people are not interested at this point

five

I will be honest. In my heart I want to do round five. But people need to pay attention and my trigger is going to be short on assigning picks if people screw up and draft players already taken.

I think the Jays would like to go 5, once we got through those first 10 picks and a little confusion I thought the fourth went well.

I'm a little pissed off

I adjusted my schedule, did a lot of prep work to be able to have picks ready. And others didn’t have the courtesy to take it seriously or even follow directions to shut the hell up while picking was going on.
