Joining my outfield, Corey Patterson! iggymcfly and Smell the ratings!! up next.

It went RVD -> Jericho -> Kane -> HHH if memory serves.

Hooray for winning dark matches over short-lived jobbers, it's the only way i win anything anymore.

I've got plenty of offence so i may as well go pitching here, all the top line pitchers are gone so that leaves me to hope for a rebound year from "Home Run" Javier Vasquez. iggymcfly and Smell the ratings!!! to finish off the round.

SHIT. The two players i was hoping to draft were Lee and Furcal, and wouldn't you know it they're taken the two picks before me. Sigh, time to consult the checklist and find someone else to draft, a pick edited in here in a minute.

Taken from the ROH board: Look to be heading into an Austin Aries/Homicide title defence in the near future based on the main event result.

While i have little desire to see Billy Gunn vs. anyone, if he can help draw a few more people for IWA and avoid another criminally low crowd then i'm for it.

A pair of teams, both 8 team Yahoo leagues and done by autodraft due to me missing both. Team 1: C- Victor Martinez 1B- Mark Teixeira 2B- Jose Vidro 3B- Scott Rolen SS- Jimmy Rollins OF- Vladimir Guerrero OF- Bobby Abreu OF- Miguel Cabrera Util- Corey Patterson Bench- Aaron Rowand Bench- Paul Konerko Bench- Orlando Cabrera SP- Rich Harden SP- AJ Burnett RP- Francisco Rodriguez RP- Francisco Cordero P- Octavio Dotel P- Guillermo Mota P- Kelvim Escobar Bench- Jeremy Bonderman Bench- Zach Grienke The league also has a very low 'minimum innings pitched' requirement, so i'll likely trade a starter or two and abuse it in similar veign to last years TSM Keeper League. I'm loving that outfield, and the infield isn't far behind either. Team 2: C- Javy Lopez 1B- Richie Sexson 2B- Jeff Kent 3B- Scott Rolen SS- Jimmy Rollins IF- Melvin Mora LF- Moises Alou CF- Carlos Beltran RF- Miguel Cabrera OF- Jason Bay Util- Paul Konerko Bench- Dave Roberts Bench- Ken Griffey Jr. SP- Randy Johnson SP- Roger Clemens RP- Billy Wagner RP- Francisco Cordero P- Octavio Dotel P- Jason Isringhausen P- BJ Ryan P- Jeremy Bonderman Bench- Jeremy Affeldt Bench- Rodrigo Lopez Bench- "Anglesault's Favorite" Jeff Weaver After this league i've now had Scott Rolen on every fantasy team i've had.

The Blazers coaching change has clearly had a great effect, as they lose by 9 to a Jamaal Timsley & Jermaine O'Neal-less Indiana Pacers.

Half my players from last year have seeningly been drafted away already, but one player is jumping for joy to be returning to bolster my outfield: Juan Pierre Next picks to complete this round: iggymcfly Smell the ratings!!!

I can't see that going well, since Shane or whoever the hell he is now is HORRID as a face.

I don't see what difference changing the coach makes, when players like Randolph and Miles are around long-term to sabotage whoever the replacement is with their stupidity anyway.

I was hoping to re-draft several of the players i didn't keep from last year, but i guess i can throw that idea out the window as Mauer makes three players drafted from my old team already, and with 16 picks until i get to draft i imagine another 1 or 2 will be gone as well.

They've used Walters a ton of times, i'd think if they were going to bring him in full-time they'd have done it by now. He just seems to be #1 choice for whenever they need a jobber or a Policeman or a Druid or whatever other roles they've stuck him in.

Why did you choose that name for your character? -> It just popped into my head when i started filling out the stat sheet way back when, i was trying to think of something simple like 'Edge', and Strike sounded good enough to me. And then i changed the 'i' to a 'y', because that makes it cool or something. Why do they look the way they do? -> I don't think i ever gave Stryke a 'look', he's just some guy. I'm no good with that sort of stuff and could never be bothered, so i never really did. Why is their character the way it is, and is this different from how you originally envisaged them? -> I didn't have any real plans or expectations for Stryke when i first joined, and in 4+ years i've never expanded on the character much either. I originally planned to be a face long-term, but i think Strangler suggested i should turn with the lack of heels in the JL at the time, and that was probably for the best since i've been at my best in the heel role, and have been one almost exclusively since. Of course i've always flamed out and quit before i managed to build anything or have a decent run, and have never really got to develop Stryke beyond anything more than a generic cocky/arrogant character. Hell, Erek Taylor and Chris Wilson did a ton more character development for Stryke than i ever have or probably will. If there was one thing you would want your character remembered for, what would it be? -> Anything other than the SWF's most prolific no-shower and one of the biggest wastes of potential the fed has ever seen would be nice.

Clearly Isiah Thomas is much smarter than us all, and all these wacky trades are somehow going to make sense in the end and lead to numerous championships for the Knicks. Either that or he's lost his mind. And have Atlanta done anything but clear salary space in the last 5 years? Someone should tell them they might need to spend some of that money on good players one of these years, not that i imagine free agents are knocking down the door to go to that black hole of basketball.

I'm open for pretty much any time a live draft would be, though if we have to do it NBA draft-style i'd be fine with that too.

Looks like Sacramento are certainly hoisting the white flag when it comes to winning a championship, potentially trading away both Webber and Peja in the space of a day and getting not much more than role players in return. Stojakovic on the Spurs, might as well give them the championship right now.

Man, i didn't see this trade coming. If Webber stays healthy Philadelphia just made themselves a real contender in the East, not that that says a great deal but still.

He could be, especially since Smackdown isn't exactly brimming with established main event stars, but they have to strike right when he returns from injury, if he comes back only to go right into some forgettable midcard feud with Rene Dupree or something he'll be right back where he was pre-injury.
