I’m on no sleep. Let’s just say LABR was epic. I went to sleep the “night” before the auction after 7 am after playing a drinking game (and losing miserably) with one of the superstars in the industry (who shall remain nameless) until the sun was up. I then got up at 10 am and participated in a mixed league draft just for fun. Went back to sleep at noon and overslept and awoke to a phone call saying it was 5:20 (LABR started at 5) and asking where the hell I was. Great impression I gave these folks. Like I said, epic. Hadn’t showered, just woke up, no idea what happened in baseball the last couple of days, I was ready to go! There are more details, but I’ve probably already revealed too much. Bottom line, I was the least prepared person in the room and still came away with this squad. I’m not going to comment on any of my picks yet; I’ll leave it to the mercy of you guys for now and defend/summarize the auction later. After all, I need to catch up on sleep. Just remember, this is a 13-team, NL-only league that is very deep. It’s also filled with people who know what they are doing. I’m not allowed to reveal all the results right now, but they will be available through USA Today soon enough. My team balls.
