1919 to 1929 live draft theme CHAT

[Palanion]

Other observations:
hack wilson has hack wilson
hack wilson has Lou Gehrig AND Wally Pipp
dacelo took both Poisons (the Waner bros)
Badjam drafted both Sewells (Joe and Luke)
Rube grabbed three members of the '29 Cubs rotation (Root, Malone, Cvengros)
danielz snagged the top three hurlers from the Black Sox squad (Ciccotte, Williams, Kerr)

[Hack Wilson]

i wanted to reunite Wally Pipp and Gehrig. Karmic justice -- and of course, for when that fragile Gehrig gets hurt, like he always does, he has a back-up. :wink:

Hard Boiled Palookas? Boardwalk Empires?

I'm not sure whether these are High or Low standards for the rest of us and our team names. :roll:

Boardwalk Empire - the new Martin Scorcese mini- series on hbo starring Steve Buscemi during the prohibition era!

[dharmabums]

Should be a good series. On TV that is. :wink:

And frankly, I'm more upset at AeroDave for taking my Palookas team name. :P

My team wasn't even mentioned by Palanion in the pre-season analysis, so clearly we have so pretty low standards ...

Wow... I don't know how I didn't mention yours. I think part of the reason is that your strength is your outfield offense. But, a number of teams have great OF offenses. Look at these trios:
Stephenson, Combs, Hafey (yours)
Jackson, Simmons, Youngs
Heilmann, Waner, Waner
Goslin, Roush, Ott
Miller, Wilson, Cuyler
Those are some solid outfields. They make mine (Leibold, Speaker, El. Smith/Barnhart) look average, at best.
With your outfield and Hornsby, you will score lots of runs, I think. And you have some really good pitching, too.
I think I might be overemphasizing pitching in my analysis, since I think daniel and nymets have two great rotations, and I think pitching will be important in this theme.

So when is this league going to load?

[Palanion]

EAST is loading now, waiting for the Sunday return of danielz from his vacation.

Still stuck on 3 ... :roll:
