Am I that predictable?

LOL

[Curby]

I will be dropping off my youngest at college around the 20th, 21st, so I will try and have a queue available, and will check in when I can.

You're that reliable.

I hope that Kahuna's not in the path of that mess (Iselle and Julio) threatening the Hawaiian Islands.

I am Here!!!

There's an echo in here.

All draft picks are restricted to players in the current Yahoo! pool at the time your turn occurs. Please remember that the Draftime player list is not customized by league. If you have any questions regarding a player's eligibility, take a moment to search our league's player list at Yahoo! before you draft him.

Managers can use Draftime to trade picks, players, or both.

Queue is set on 20 min delay and loaded. Happy Drafting everyone!

[Chip Ellis]

Is anyone else having issues loading a queue? I'm selecting players for my next two picks, and they are being removed from the list but I can not see them in any of my queues.....
I'll check back later

Aloha,

The hurricanes wanted no part of me....lol

I've been through 2 of them, very crazy scene. It hit one of the less populated islands again so no real national news. If it hits Oahu, I fear all [BLEEP] will break loose.

I bet. I'll take earthquakes over hurricanes and tornados any day of the week

Do we already need an OJ timer?

[Toral]

Just ordered my 2014-2015 fantasy hockey guide.

Which one?

[Mario LeMoose]

Do we already need an OJ timer?

I sent an e-mail yesterday to OJ, offering to help if his access is blocked at work. There was no reply. This might be an unpopular move, but I'm ready to select the highest ranked Yahoo player for his team and move along with the draft.

Sorry about the prolonged wait, folks ... I know the reason for the current (1.13) delay — it's not slacking.

[Waipio.S]

Hey Christine,

My pick should be Demarcus Murrray, not Marshall.

[Mario LeMoose]

Hey Christine,

My pick should be Demarcus Murrray, not Marshall.

Read this after making my pick (Murray, of course!). I'll adjust the draft. Looks like I'll have to insert a "placeholder" for my team, then go back and switch Murray for Marshall on your team.

All fixed; DeMarco Murray is yours.

I'll e-mail OJ to let him how that it's now his turn but won't wait forever for a reply.

[Mario LeMoose]

Another commish pick (2.04) for OJ.

[Mario LeMoose]

Please be prepared for a four-hour time limit between picks beginning Monday morning. The overnight pause (midnight to 9:00 a.m. Eastern) will remain in effect.

Target date for completion of the draft is Monday, September 1. Setting queues and timed auto-picks will help tremendously (hint, hint).
