Chat Log:
| Kaetorade | i'm pretty excited about this draft |
| deadlysevens | understandable |
| Kaetorade | hello TMR. just wanted to say i'm super excited that you're here. i'm a huge fan. |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Thanks Kaet... Appreciate that |
| MatthewBerryTMR | I've never done a daily snake draft before - this is fun |
| Kaetorade | i'm relatively new to baseball, so take it ez |
| jojoarev | I've never done a snake either |
| Kaetorade | if u dont mind, i have a question. do you ever feel conflicted about expressing opinions because they may be received poorly? |
| Paul07ss | my first too lol |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Cool - we're all in this together. |
| deadlysevens | you must not listen to his podcasts lol |
| Kaetorade | haha. i do, esp during football season |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Hang on |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Kaet - I'd be lying if I said it didn't enter into my mind occasionally but I try to just give my opinions regardless of how they will be recieved. Vick #1 was a perfect example.I knew it's be con |
| MatthewBerryTMR | treversial |
| MatthewBerryTMR | but that was what I felt |
| MatthewBerryTMR | thx for listening and downloading, Sevens! |
| deadlysevens | gets me through my work day |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Randy Wolf!My first reach.But he owns Hou |
| Kaetorade | hopefully, not today! |
| Kaetorade | tmr, are you elgible to win a prize too? or is it just us? |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Yes.And I'm gonna make it rain! |
| Kaetorade | :( |
| Paul07ss | lol |
| MatthewBerryTMR | The kids still say that, right? |
| Paul07ss | small kids |
| Kaetorade | idk. i'm getting long in the tooth too |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Perfect.That's my audience |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Arggh.Wanted Craig |
| deadlysevens | I picked him up when the season started and had him sit on my DL spot.. definately has paid off since his return.. picking up the slack for kemp |
| Kaetorade | since getting into daily fant spots, i've lost my desire for season leagues. anyone else feel similar? |
| Paul07ss | me too |
| Paul07ss | im hooked lol |
| deadlysevens | ive bene in this season league for a while now.. same group of 12 |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Draft Street loves you, Kaet |
| Kaetorade | thats nice |
| MatthewBerryTMR | And you too Paul |
| Paul07ss | yup |
| Kaetorade | i'm serious though. its just a diff aspect |
| Kaetorade | i dont know a whole lot of ppl. so in order to satisfy my craving, i used to join a bunch of paid leagues at cbs(they take 50%rake) and there would always be shady trades |
| Kaetorade | that i had absolutely no control over. it drove me nuts |
| deadlysevens | yea ive been in the same league with these guys since we were in HS |
| Paul07ss | ya kaet i had doin paid leagues n after the draft there are huge 10 man trades for liek a week |
| deadlysevens | just started this year to do a keepe rleague should be interesting |
| Kaetorade | grrr |
| Kaetorade | i wantd jones and ortiz |
| deadlysevens | ortiz kills helleckson |
| Kaetorade | i know |
| MatthewBerryTMR | :) |
| Kaetorade | i still cant believe the year he's having |
| Kaetorade | it wasnt long ago when all the chatter was how washed up he was |
| Kaetorade | wasnt that 2 years ago? |
| Paul07ss | now its on pujols |
| Paul07ss | yeah 2 yrs |
| Kaetorade | yeah, but he's still relatively young |
| Kaetorade | he'll be fine |
| Paul07ss | pujols is 38 |
| deadlysevens | ortiz was halfing completely different halves it was either couldnt hit anything or hit everything |
| Kaetorade | go rangers! |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Ubaldo... either a great pick vs SEA - or will ensure I finish last. |
| Kaetorade | the latter works for me |
| Paul07ss | me too |
| jojoarev | My dad used to play in your fat dog league Matthew, I think he drafted for you one year a long time ago |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Really? |
| jojoarev | yeah, I emailed you a couple years ago |
| MatthewBerryTMR | oh yeah.I sent that around to the league.I think your Dad still owes money or something... |
| Kaetorade | LOL |
| Paul07ss | lol |
| jojoarev | wouldn't doubt it |
| deadlysevens | hilarious |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Everyone was like "Yeah, I remember that guy. He still owes money." |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Yeah, they weren't pleased about that.Still - small world. Hilarious. |
| jojoarev | i'll let him know |
| MatthewBerryTMR | hahaha |
| Kaetorade | what are your thoughts on dfs vs traditional leagues? |
| MatthewBerryTMR | i like both.My basic take - fantasy is supposed to be fun.If it's fun, I am in.Daily leagues are fun. |
| gt.sundown | dang it for some reason i thought the draft was later |
| Kaetorade | do you think it'll ever get mainstream? |
| Kaetorade | aww, sorry about that gt.sundown |
| Kaetorade | that suxs |
| MatthewBerryTMR | Yes, I do think it'll get mainstream.And watch gt - you'll probably win |
| Paul07ss | GL guys |
