I'm kidding.


I'm only taking people who appear on the original NES version of RBI Baseball.

Here are the rules from the Post-Strike tournament. If you think we need to make any changes, just suggest them...

1. There will be 25 rounds of picks. Each team needs at least 12 position players (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, three OFs, and four utility players of any position as designated by the site) and 6 pitchers.

2. A player can only appear on one team, even though you ultimately decide on a single season for them. So for instance, whoever picks Roger Clemens gets whichever LCS Era Clemens season he wants, and no one else can take a different one. You don't have to decide which season of theirs you want until we begin the tournament, though.

3. You need to pick and designate a home ballpark, since the site takes that into consideration in its simulations.

4. Each person has two hours to make their picks. The clock is suspended between 10PM & 8AM Eastern time. Picks can still be made in that window, but people whose clocks start AFTER 10 can't be skipped until the clock starts again (if you are on the clock before 10, even if it is 9:59, you will be skipped after two hours). We do still strongly encourage you to send a few proxy picks to someone who isn't picking again until after you before you head to bed.

5. If your turn comes up and you're still on the hook for a previous pick where your time ran out, you'll receive a one hour slot instead of two. If you're on the hook for two picks and your turn comes up a third time, you'll be skipped instantly till you return and pick. Once you catch up, you're back to the standard two hours. This means if you have bookend picks (at either end) and you don't pick by the time your two hours are up for the first one, you get another hour (for your second one) before you are completely skipped over.

1-26 is so far away

It is, but I wanted to start on a Monday, and I wasn't confident everyone would be ready to go today.

Oh that game. Love it so. Still play it.

It's incredible how this is put together. Sorry chud and numbers.

We could always start drafting now with no penalties until the official start on Monday.

I vote Monday.

Yes, we could.

Or we could officially start mid week. Who cares, really?

I mean, the sooner I can start destroying kaius the better.

I was just kidding when I said we could start it now. We should definitely wait for Lament's approval so we don't get in trouble.

Patience. You guys are a bunch of Jeff Francoeurs.

Jokes. We can start whenever. WHy not.

We should start as soon as numbers makes his first pick, and we can begin applying the clock when we have a consensus on it.

I have to think about what I want to do with the first pick.

That would be my suggestion, too. And if we can't get a consensus in time, we just go as far as we can and start the clock as scheduled on Monday.

I need to remember not to pick Kelly Gruber this time.

Make it when you're ready.

I left my list at home too.

I've decided the two players I think I want. If you take one, it helps me out. If you don't take one, then I have to make a tough decision.

There are also, like... 10 other players I kind of want to take right away.

Since posting this 4 minutes ago, I may have changed my strategy.
