Thanks guys, and yeah, I'm really excited about it.  I think my wife is really nervous about it too....

All my kids are about 21 months apart.  The 2 older boys are best friends and play all the time together.  Its been wonderful to have that for them.  Congrats, Jay!  It will be fun.

Has anyone here ever done fantasy baseball where you guys actually get together and do a live draft all in the same room?

Yes, years ago.  For fantasy football, too.

They couldn't figure out a way to keep it secret from CurtOne so he wouldn't join in.

One caveat - need to do it in a fairly quiet place and not a rowdy sports bar.

My siblings and I are each 4 years apart. So the span between me and my brother is 8 years but my sister is 4 years between us. We all HATED each other growing up. Now I wouldn't trade them for anything. (Just don't tell them that!) I was actually pretty happy that I didn't have to go to high school with either of them...I was the smart one and I just know they would have made me do their homework. PLUS I had to deal with their reputation. I had one teacher look at me and go, "Oh you're Nikki's sister?" and then she treated me terribly the rest of the year, despite the fact that my sister and I couldn't be more different.

We used to do fantasy baseball and football drafts at my bar. Made for some comical picks in the later rounds. It usually took a little bit longer but it was more fun than staring at a computer screen.

Congrats on your big news, Jay.


We have a doctor's appointment in the morning and if all goes well they plan to induce on Friday. So we should have a new addition by the weekend.
