Ticket drops Jennings for Hassan Whiteside if not claimed by E Team, Wingo or Cap. If taken I choose at 5:15 pst.

Invaders drop Kobe and Tom Buckner is from the bay area he grew up in Napa

Ticket says
I am not as delighted as I was at the time about my heckling Buckner at an old timers game in Camden Yards that feature '66 O's Brooks Robby and Luis Aparicio. I did get Bobby Bonds autograph. I was thrilled that he begot in a trade to N.Y. Mickey Rivers and the first Puerto Rican 20 game winner Ed Figueroa.

How I admired anyone close to Willie MAYS. I also met Monte Irvin in the Chicago Hyatt that was all star game headquarters. I told him, "I love you Monte." Annoyed, he told me to "calm down." My father in law at the time wondered how I recognized the man who refused to become the first black major leaguer after the bigotry he suffered serving Uncle Sam's racist superiors in WW 2.

That said, the movie "Selma", which I saw with Mom last night, nearly brought me to tears. So much now seems the same. Al Sharpton cancelled or ( was paid not to) march on the Verrazano to Staten I. The most riveting scene in Selma is when King turns his followers back from a 50 mile march from Selma to Montgomery. He was afraid of a martial tactic to cut his people off from provisions.

My mother claimed she drank moonshine with Folsom made by the Bama Governor Folsom himself. The prison named in the Johnny Cash prison blues tune was the legacy of one of Mom's acquaintances. I have mixed feelings about that and my white priveledge.

Swat said...

Are we having a supplimental?

Hoop Social said...

Ticket takes Whiteside. Invaders then Swat goes. Sorry for my delay.

Swat said...

Swat sez:

So we are in second, which means we would pick at 5:45, it is now 5:55, we will take the Greek Freak Antentokoumpo at 2-3.

Swat said...

Swat would go for a round two cuz...

E Team said...

E Team:

You guys still on? The E Team would like to participate by dropping Tony Wroto (Spanish: roto - broken).

Swat said...

Swat sez:

Second drop is Mo Williams

Swat said...

Hey Bartels,

How's it going?

Swat said...

Who are you picking up E?

E Team said...

E Team:

The E Team would like to simultaneously offer condolences and acquire the Lakers' new starting SG Wayne Ellington.

Swat said...

Sweet, no one else seems to care E, Swat wants to go for second pick in 15 minutes.

E Team said...

E Team says:

Go on with it, homes.

E Team said...

E Team:

Tom, Nancy and I went to see Selma last weekend. Very powerful. I thought I was going to have to leave the cinema when that Birmingham church bombing scene was unfolding.

And we had to bet an English guy to play Dr. King? After Daniel Day-Lewis played Lincoln? Do we have any actors in this country?

E Team said...

E Team:

I meant "get" an English guy.

Swat said...

Swat sez:

Second pick DJ Augustin 1

Those are all good picks(Whiteside/Ellington/Augistin)-I was detained hijacked to Berkeley by a family for a fun day and a Grammy influenced dinner engagement.Let me scan who's around and I will make a selection.

mrkmosier@gmail.com said...

Invaders pick up ETeam cast off Greeky Freaky Giannis (spell last name?)who seems to be playing very well now

E Team said...

E Team:

Mark: That's the wine drafting. Somebody already took the freak.

mrkmosier@gmail.com said...

OK I see Swat made that move I'll take Gerald Henderson 2-3

Swat said...

Nice job Mark, Gerald was third on my supp option action. Funny thing about the Greek Freak is he is on ESPN as a 2-3, yet I think Milwaukee is playing him at the 4 currently.

mrkmosier@gmail.com said...

Giannis is a 2-3 on ESPN but that gets updated if he were to play 4 for a long period of time.I thought Henson was the current starting 4?But with injury to Zaza and Sanders suspension Henson even swings to 5 but that hasn't been adjusted either.

mrkmosier@gmail.com said...

I just checked Giannis is still 2-3 but Henson is now a 4-5

mrkmosier@gmail.com said...

Invaders would also like to take a 2nd player I drop Fournier and take Jarret Jack 1-2 I doubt anyone wanted Fournier so this shouldn't be a problem
