It's happening right now. I have it on in the back.

Congratulations to ESPN for getting me to tune into this when I have no idea who any of the players are, and I kinda really don't care about it at all.

..Go Yankees?

The Cubs have the third pick; maybe we can get a world series handed to us at some point for one of our picks.

The Cubs just took a third baseman.

So far I am ecstatically unimpressed with this coverage. They got Gammons and Steve Phillips sitting around a coffee table. The sound is reverberating. The players look like they don't even want to be there.

This should be on ESPN: Public Access.

It's better than I thought it would be. Two years ago, when the draft was still conducted by conference call, some businessperson got in on it accidentally and realized their mistake a few minutes in. So it's come a long way.

I stopped watching after KC picked because that's all I really care about.

"what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "also cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "also cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "that's also cheese." "and what is this?" "cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese."

The analysts aren't even sitting up. Hey guys! You're on television!

I want to kill Jeff Luhnow, the head of the Cardinals' player development. We got some future David Eckstein scrub named Peter Kozma with our 18th pick, a place where there was still plenty of talent. What a fucking joke... this guy could've been had as our sandwich pick, but we decided to reach for him because of his character.

His ceiling is Mark Loretta. End of story.

In the land of the skunks, the man with half a nose is king.

Instead of the National Anthem, they play a three-hour economics lecture.

Instead of beer and peanuts they serve chamomile tea and Tylenol PM.

They're televising a draft where only the most hardcore 1% of fans will even know the name of the first guy picked. I don't know what else you want them to do.

"what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "also cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "also cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese." "what is this?" "that's also cheese." "and what is this?" "cheese." "and what is this?" "that's cheese."

The Broken String is not just a great record by Bishop Allen standards. It is poised to be the pop soundtrack to the summer of 2007.

I think it's funny that they make a big deal whenever a first round pick actually makes it to the majors.

I'M COMING FOR YOU, MOTHERFUCKER.

You have to figure that after 900 rounds of drafting and countless year in the minors (for some) having a person you think can make the majors, actually make it, it kinda is. it would be like you pick a piece of pine straw because it looks the most powerful and waiting for that tornado to come and create a wind gust so powerful it sends a whole pile of pine straw towards a tree, and the one you picked actually stuck itself into a tree... wait... it's not like that at all.... in fact, that might have been the worst analogy ever.

Pretty much.

That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain.

look -- the pirates had the 4th pick. instead of taking a kick-ass hitting catcher, they take the 5th-best pitcher in the draft -- all because the catcher is a scott boras client.

the pirates are money-grubbing pansy-asses on their way to 15 consecutive losing seasons -- not that I'm bitter or anything.

televising this crap, though, was just plain wrong.

aww, ma -- you know I'm not like other guys. I'm nervous and my socks are too loose.

scott boras is a pain. look at JD drew, he's the essence of what scott boars could do to a player, andruw jones is represented by him but in the last contract negotiation he did not use boras.
