If you don't do your job, what they're paying you for, why should they pay you? You just can't put in eight hours, that's what a lot of people don't realize about athletes. Very few people realize the pressure." Dave Kingman

    A little surprised at the overbid on Bibby. It was nice having him on the team, but I won't go any higher. Good luck Jack.

    7 of 13 bids hold this year, albeit in a less than thrilling crop of HTD free agents.

    As I announced some time ago, I will be away from internet access for much of the FA process and the end of the Rookie draft. To be specific we will be gone from Saturday, May 14 through Monday, May 23. Garry, of Sockeye fame, has graciously agreed to take over bidding process for the Dust Bunnies during this time. I am very disappointed that I will be missing the portion of the League that is perhaps the most fun.

    Agree that this is perhaps the most fun, and sorry that you'll be missing a big part of it this year. But have a nice trip!
