I don't think I have that capability. Emphasis on ability (or lack thereof). My mom got me into Skype if that tells you anything.

I'll make a new thread after the draft for the new season.

Was watching the Sox/Yanks game on ESPN earlier while I was at the gym. Paid attention until Cervelli's homerun.

I'm hoping that Sizemore stays healthy for them. Would love to see that guy reach his potential finally.

Sounds awesome. I'm just about tap a helles that I brewed in early February. I think it needs to lager another week. But hell (lol), I have two kegs of it, why wait?!

Do you guys do anything special for draft night? Typically, I just have a couple beers (making late round picks interesting sometimes). I'm having Sean (Los Bastardos) over for the draft. We should be good and loaded by the end of the draft.

I plan to sit at the kitchen table, drinking beer and drafting. Nothing too exciting, but nothing much more fun!

Yeah I am hoping for 130 games out of Sizemore. I think that is the upper end of realistic.

Is there a way for us all to voice chat during the draft tomorrow? Assuming interest and computers with mics too. I think it would be fun and a good way to get to know each other better.

My laptop is so old, it doesn't have a mic or a camera. haha I like the idea though, just not sure how I would pull it off.

I ended up finishing off the Helles last night while watching NC State choke in an epic manner. Sad to say, but the last 3 - 4 pints were amazing and made me wish that I had been more patient and lagered it longer. That was my first time with that style, and I'll definitely be rebrewing it. My wife was a huge fan of it.

unless i get a magical burst of energy, due to time difference I'll be auto drafting again. probably a good thing for me!

Can't wait for the regular season to start.

The team i play for have our first spring games this sunday away, nice road trip and play some ball! Not many baseball teams in the UK, and there happens to be one in my town which is awesome!

That's kickass that you play on a team. The closest I come to playing is putting the wiffle ball back on the tee for my son to try and hit. Tried playing on a softball team last year, and ended up with tendonitis in both ankles.

I've never brewed one myself before this, and have only had one or two pints of it before commercially. Figured it would be a good drinker for the spring/early summer. I was a little too efficient and it came in at 1.055. Was shooting for 1.050. Tasted it last night. It needs another week or two before it's ready.

Is there a way to set my draft to auto-pick before it starts? I'm not available tonight and I don't want y'all to have to wait the default time every time my pick comes up.
