Stolen bases…so that’s what NSB stands for. Wish I would have known that before the draft. I took Milton Bradley as my sleeper, only because I thought it was a rating percentage for “Never Stops Bitching”. Now my team really looks like crap.

And kudos for working in a Darren Daulton reference. Can’t go wrong with that.

Do tell… As a result of linking to Utley's exclamation at the victory parade inside Citizens Bank Park, I've been contacted by the American Family Association. They threatened to take legal action if Chase Utley was the first second baseman drafted, so I did what I could and took Ian Kinsler. Serious answer: Me likey stolen bases. By the way, has it landed yet? ETA is one hour before Ryan Howard's lands at 11:11 AM on December 21, 2021.

I don’t believe you. If Utley is a lock as an MVP candidate…how could you, a Phils fan & expert, take Ian Kinsler over Utley in the fantasy draft? You must have some inside piece of information that you’re hiding from the rest of us. Is Chase dating the curse-inducing Jessica Simpson? Has he been hanging out with Canseco and A-Rod’s cousin? Was he holding down the dog-fighting fort while Mike Vick was in prison? Do tell…

On another note…I watched some of the Phils/Pirates game out of complete boredom. I think Moyer is in trouble. The only thing he did good was by throwing it so slow, a few of the Pirates hit pool cue shots from swinging too early. If he’s depending on that as his strategy, it could be a Jose Lima of a season for him.

Although the high fastball he threw to McCutchen was a thing of beauty. By the way, has it landed yet?
