I'll be on in a bit. I think I mentioned that I was in Boston this weekend and didn't have the chance to log into anything. I just got home and am still settling in. I will get a team in before 9PM eastern.
I'm actually wondering if this is such a good idea after all; I've barely had a chance to scout the cards and I'll be making a bunch of calls on the fly. I really hope they implement the extended time option for Live Draft in the near future.
This is looking kind of dubious to me as well. Not sure where Al is - as Tom notes, he's been contacted via text, Facebook IM, etc. - and I've really only looked carefully at the top 15 hitters and pitchers. Tonight's Oscar night as well, which doesn't matter much to me, but will to others. But if tonight's out, we either have to try another weekday or wait until the weekend of the 15th.
IMO it's OK to postpone this to another night where everyone can get some extra to review cards (if needed) and we can all agree on the same night and time. I still think this is a lot better than several days of checking the boards for picks.
If AL checks in and wants to draft, we should do it. I know Mark is excited it to try it, and I don't want to be the @sshole who threw a turd in the punchbowl. This is a new wrinkle in the Strat universe, we should all want to experience it.
if Al surfaces in the next hour or so, or just past the deadline, I may be able to push the draft back, but I think this is the last time of the day offered, ten eastern. just in case...I can do Monday, same time or earlier, can anyone/everyone else?
