My attendance at the Reason Rally has recently come into question. You see, I'm an avid fantasy baseball fan and our draft, which was originally slated for March 31st, got moved to March 24th, noon. As if blessed by God (sarcasm, obviously), one of my league mates cannot do that day. It appears as though it's being moved to March 17th, which means I get to go to DC and attend the world's largest secular event EVER! I feel like a little kid who was told that Christmas was cancelled, only to find out that my parents were fucking with me!
Oh, and keeping with the spirit of this group, I'm also excited for my upcoming draft. I've got a slew of good, young, cheap keepers:
Brett Lawrie ($5)
Desmond Jennings ($1)
Freddie Freeman ($4)
Jose Bautista ($5)
Finally, as an introduction, I must proclaim my Phillies fandom. I have lived in Philly since '92, and it's great to be in the Golden Age of Phillies baseball. Go Phils!!

I like those pics, especially Bautista, what a player!
I'll try and keep the standings up to date once the season starts and they are available!
yeah, i got Bautista 2 years ago and locked him up for 2 years at that price. i can still keep him next year but he'll cost $15. still worth it.
Dodgers have some nice pieces, but i'm not sure they're ready to make the playoffs. kemp and kershaw are a nice foundation.

Here's the website http://games.espn.go.com/flb/leagueoffice?leagueId=35579 so if you are interested the draft doesn't start until April 1, 2012. Their will prizes for the Championship, and other Awards! So I hope you will get involved!

I grew up watching the Royals, when they were actually a major league caliber team, not the best place to pick the scraps or new talent cheap. I live in St. Louis(Go Cards!) which is a beer town in need of an intervention for the baseball addiction, so I fit right in there.

Permalink Reply by Jonathan Simeone on April 14, 2012 at 12:52am Hi Matthew, How is your team doing so far? I'm in a head-to-head points league on ESPN this year. So far, I'm winning this week by one huge point. My pitching staff's a real mess. I've had several starts lose me points.
hey, sorry for the late reply. so far so good. we have a weekly prize for "best week" (based on roto) which i won in week 2. mostly my team is living up to expectations. we're h2h also, but not points, which can be turbulent based on matchups.
i've got Bonafacio and Joyce on my bench, which i'm going to change starting next week. time to sub out some of the disappointments.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
