A Rainy Sunday Afternoon ...

We now pause from our usual frivolity for some different frivolity.

I've been "nominated" by my fellow fantasy baseball co-owners to live-blog our annual draft so that those not available to be on site can see who's been picked in real time. Apologies to Bill Simmons.

Rule changes are being discussed now. Picks to be posted as they happen ...
