Jack's Family & Friends Round 3.69

[Naturaldoc]

They let me use an '80s credit that I had laying around for months, but that was after I bought a 5-pack.

Oh, and we are now at 6 in and 6 to go.

[Jack377]

...just need EMart and Paul C to polish 'er off.

And tonight we draft...good luck, all. I am putting my glowing 10-17 1969 record on the line with this club... :roll:

[Jack377]

Good Luck All! The Commissioner's Cafe DuMond Begnets will be relying on the arms of Sudden Sam McDowell and Big Bad Bob Gibson in the rotation and the Flame-throwing Rook, Nolan Ryan, out of the Pen...and...DH Frank Robinson...and Paul Blair roaming CF and Tony Oliva in Right...and, wow, that's it! :shock:

Hoping for Bugs Bunny-Like Performances from the staff! :roll: Otherwise, it might be tough to improve on my sterling 15-27 1969 record...

Have fun,

Jack

[Jack377]

A belated congratulations to Emart on winning it all and to NaturalDoc for another great season...

At this point, I'm inclined to wait until '06 for the next release of Friends & Family unless someone has a great desire to play 69, 05, or ATG2 once more...

I'll "see" some of you around some of the "Winter Ball" leagues or in person but for the rest of you, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hannulak, Kool Kwaanza, and Happy New Year.

Thanks for playing. 8)
