I did a fantasy draft in OOTP '14, and picked the Blue Jays. My second season in, we went 98-64, second best in the majors. But, got knocked out by the Orioles for the second year in a row, who had the best record in baseball both years. :( My offense was first in runs scored, homers, and team batting average. However, my pitching is not so good, and ranks in the mid-20's in the MLB. Trying to get that squared around before Pujols retires and Jeff Keppinger starts going the other way(he's hit .300+ in the 2 seasons I've played so far.)

Just when we thought spring was coming (60+ degrees the past few days), today it's about 16 degrees with ridiculous wind chill. Winds make it like Siberia out there.

So, my entire morning after class was spent compiling One Direction songs for my younger cousins by request.

I'm gonna need to clean out my browser history, one sec...

I've been using Reddit a lot lately, and Prediction is right. It is the greatest site ever

I personally recommend /r/adviceanimals /r/politics /r/news /r/funny /r/videos /r/atheism, pretty much every default subreddit is nice. /r/polandball /r/askhistorians /r/uwotm8 /r/*(censored)* /r/thingsforants and /r/asoiaf. (Off the top of my head)

UNSUBSCRIBE FROM EVERY DEFAULT SUBREDDIT. Except /r/askreddit, but I usually only read the serious discussions. And /r/paradoxplaza is a good subreddit to get into my favourite genre of games, grand strategy.

Edit: /r/gaming is basically the 'prediction' (me) of reddit. Awful and cancerous, avoid it at all costs.

Edit2: Actually some defaults are fine, like /r/science and /r/technology, do w.e you want I guess.

r/askreddit is awesome. That's where I spend the most of my time. r/thingsforants is also great.

What's so bad about r/gaming?

Created a bracket group on ESPN for those who are interested.

It's called MLBPPWORLD Bracket, and the password is Chief61.

I'm ready to finish last

EDIT: 5/5 ESPN analysts picked Michigan State to win the championship. This is either an extremely good sign, or the worst jinx ever.

Worst jinx ever. They're gonna get knocked out in the first round now.

Their own coach said something about how the definitely lacked toughness to the media... Not a good sign.

That's because they did. They lost 6 of 10. They sucked. But now they're healthy. And when they're healthy, they're talented. And when they're talented, they can beat anyone in the country, as shown by their stomps of Wisconsin and Michigan. I'd say them, Florida, and Louisville (another 4 seed) are the favorites

That said, with all the parity in the league, seeing 5/5 is really weird. Most years getting even two analysts to agree is difficult. There's just so many good teams
