SF Bleacher Bums

Doug Moore just sent out an email to the league telling about his trip with Frank down to Las Vegas to participate in what I assume was the World Series of Fantasy Baseball or some such. They are in an NL only league with none other than Meatloaf, who Doug said is a nice guy. If I ever transport this blog to web site that allows photos, I'm going to upload that photo of Doug and Patti and Meatloaf. In fact it's going to be the first picture I put up.

Meanwhile, there is nobody more fun than the Bums, or as Doug says they're going to be known, the S.F. Bleacher Bums. Check out this team they drafted:

The hitters include Metheny, Snow, Durham, Visquel, Alfonso, D. Cruz, Feliz, Bonds, Alou and Tucker. The only non-Giants are Pratt, Bay, Grieve and Thome.

The pitchers include hitters Tomko and virtually the entire Giants middle relief corps, Brower, Christiansen and Eyre. What, no Herges? They've also got Hudson, Wood, Maddux, Leiter, Capellan (interesting $1 pick) and Kolb.

Only these guys would travel to Vegas and plunk down $650 to pick virtually the entire Giants roster. And really, it's not a bad team. They have decent starting pitching (if Wood is healthy sooner than later, it's a pretty good group, actually). They're dumping steals, which is pretty obvious if you are drafting virtually nothing but Giants batters. They should have decent enough everything else, while they work the trade lines to steal Yorvit over.

I've committed to a Vegas run in my first retirement year. Vegas with Doug and Frank. I'd rather go there with them than with Hunter Thompson, RIP.
