Hey...is there an imaginary hockey thread yet? because I will totally get in on that, once I figure out how it works. I know that we have some folks who would disagree with my team, but I'm a huge Colorado Avalanche fan.

Well, if you can't afford tickets to watch your beloved Avalanche, spring for some Mammoth (indoor lacrosse) tickets and come December you and I can trade barbs over the relative merits of your team vs. the San Jose Stealth.  Remember, Canada has two national sports.  We get lots of crossover Sharks fans, and everyone seems happy to educate the hockey folks on the similarities and differences between the games.

Pending trade between Alex Rios and Reggie Willits! I've had both of those guys on my team at one point in the year. Had to let Reggie go, though. Once Garrett Anderson got healthy, the kid lost the bulk of his playing time. Alex Rios just wasn't getting enough steals for an outfielder. Both fine players, though.

Well, I got offered the trade and I took it.

Willits has been amazing but...

a.) my roster is too Angel heavy which screws with my flexibility and...

b.) I have the feeling that as the Angels are so over-stocked with outfield talent and infield talent and... basically everything but catcher and shortstop depth... if Willits cools off at all, he'll quickly start loosing at-bats left and right.

So it works for me for those reasons and 'Dread gets a lot of speed on the bases.

I think everybody wins, those are the best trades of course, especially in a friendly league.

Yeah, I had been trying to get a guy who could steal for a while.  I gave up homeruns, but I have Fielder and Ortiz for that.

Asherdan: We might have a beef if only for the fact that I'm a Mariners fan. Division rivals and all. Also because I can't stand Angels fans, but those are the Rally Monkey-era fans. You go way back, which is cool.

I probably haven't had more than two steals all year and I already have three this week, now that I traded for it.  David Ortiz had one of those, so...

Here's the football info:

League name: TOUAMB 07
Password: roastbeef

URL (for bookmarking): http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/TOUAMB_07

Live draft date (you can still autopick, but I wanted there to be the option): August 20th, 2007 - noon

This should be all the necessary info. There's room for 10 teams.

Edit: It turns out I can increase the size of the league if need be, but I don't think it's a good idea to go beyond 12 teams, or the draft pool will be diluted too much. We all love the Lions for sticking in there, but no one wants to actually run that team.

Do you have the league ID?  That link takes me to a Yahoo! error page, and you can only join a league by League ID#.

Craig Biggio got his 3,000th. hit last night.  He went 5 for 5.  Scored the winning run in the 11th. inning.  Hell of a performance.

He got thrown out on his 3,000th by trying to stretch it into a double.

Frank Thomas hit his 500th Home Run yesterday.  He was later ejected for arguing strikes.
