I have a moral dilemma. Do I pick a team that I think will win this tough competition and claim the luxuorius prize package?? (A-Rod with a first round pick) Or do I pick a team that resembles the foulline.com All-pro team of Awesomeness?? This is a decision I need to make sooner rather than later. I'm not sure I could live with myself if I pick a Yankee. Decisions... Decisions. With that being said,there is no way in hell, I'm losing to a giant stuffed bear, even if he is the commissioner. This is going to be fun. Thanks for the motivational speech Commish. I have a moral dilemma. Do I pick a team that I think will win this tough competition and claim the luxuorius prize package??

We now have a full list of teams and no more spots are available. We here at the Commissioner's Office are looking forward to tomorrow's draft, and seeing how the teams stack up against each other. Now it is a well known fact that this season will hold triumph for some and mainly tragedy for all who are not trumphing. I.E. everyone but me. Dave has been gracious to provide the motivation for domination. The world famous thefoulline.com Winner's Prize pack. Also known as The Theodore Samuel Williams Memorial Cup, or (running title, but something along those lines). We'll figure something out for that. But WIN IT! Even if it is an old Boot filled with magnets and teeshirts! Seeing as how this is the first year, I would like to just say that I really hope this is a regular and VERY annual thing from now on. May the trash talk be spoken, may the whoopings be laid and may true and honest baseball fans share in a great experience together. First rule of buisness. Whom ever takes the first Yankee will probably be ridiculed and heckled for the season. Expect it. Second rule. If someone becides Dylan takes JD Drew he may cry. Expect it. Third rule. Lets conduct this league in an intelligent fashion. Coco Crisp for Jose Reyes or Branden Moss for Papi is not a decent trade. Its utter lunacy. Prepare to be denied by 4 people. Trades are put up into a 2 day grace period where if 3 people or fewer veto it, its going through. 4 or more its blocked. It keeps the teams fair. It was not my doing and I have no leeway of denying trades becides my teams vote. It is a CBS thing. Crappy trades will be blocked. Expect it. Fourth rule. Commissioner gets a cut of the winnings. Im thinking 30-95%. The only thing is it will be 100% because The Showstoppers will own. And I havent even seen the team. Its just they have a damn good Coach/GM. Lets have a great season guys, looking forward to a great time.

He makes nothing but good choices in 08, this game, he made the good choice not to play, he's a team player through and through. I loved that game today. I hate that they are in Japan, but only for the sake that I'm worried they'll be tired coming home from this series to the states. But, I love the japan thing, and the entire country it seems like over there getting into these games, and for the opener to come down to the wire, awesome. Best way to start a day that I know of. In sadder news. I'm an contemplating my retirement, or brief retirement from the thefoulline.com. After today's softball practice, I fear I have become the type of guy that is really funny ( in my own mind at least) online, and has no clue how to talk to girls in real life anymore. I will ponder all of this over the next few day....

I really like Mauer, but he isn't the leader the Varitek is ..yet. I'm sure that he'll be the starter next year. As for Wells, he is definitely not underpaid. But he fits the quiet All-star, solid citizen criteria. Also I felt the need to have a player from a Canadian team. I was really close to making it Alex Rios, but since Wells has been called Vernon his whole life, I thought we'd give him a break. I'm curious to see if Dylan's recent infatuation with JD Drew is squashed now that his replacement Moss had such a good game. We all know that it doesn't matter if the Sox pull a Patriots and go 162-0. It's the playoffs that count.

Also i'd have to move Tek to the bench, and go with either Mauer, or stay true to my native son and go with the up and coming Russel Martin behind the plate. Oh and old Vernon Wells certainly isnt under paid anymore. Right before last season started he signed a 7 year 126 millon contract extension, and with the year he had last year its almost more fair to call him overpaid! P.S. How about that Brendon Moss? I for one would not be surprised to see the sox go 162-0 this season.
