[USML Announce] USML Draft - starting time

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Ok, if we are going to anticipate some draft day traditions, let me add
a few to the mix for Dennis's benefit (in no particular order):

 

1.  Nukes:  Three hours after deriding the practice, the Nukes will be
on their 8th "motion to think."

 

2.  Hoosiers:  Each purchase by Rick will be followed by someone
uttering, "Wow, that was a great buy..."

 

3.  Klein Nine:  No draft would be complete unless Andy mentioned Matt
Wieters or chided Mark B for spending money on pitching.

 

4.  John F:  Will engage in a bidding war over every young pitcher I
thought I could just sneak by (and see item above for the ones I
actually win).

 

5.  AYM:  Doug will reiterate his complete lack of preparedness (usually
followed by a universally acknowledged great draft).  Doug will also
cause me to erase through at least one or two just-before-the-gavel-bang
bids.

 

6.  Riptorns:  Pretending he is not prepared by asking questions like
"what team is Albert Pujols on?"

 

Looking forward to the draft....

As soon as the voice starts bidding up young pitchers and Minnesota
ballplayers, we'll have confirmation.  ;-)

John, how do we really know that's you on the phone line?

Admittedly I had more or less agreed to arrive in person this year, but
the
phone-in option is just too darn convenient. Honestly would love to be
there in
person but my schedule suggests I will just be phoning in again -- my
apologies.  But in fact, I do welcome the crack of dawn starting time.
