As the Astros got a rare break from the monotony of spring, there is not all that much to report on. However, we here at I Remember Dome Dogs refuse to leave our readers with nothing to distract/entertain themselves with.
Stephen and I engaged in our fantasy league draft on Sunday. It was a typical live, yahoo draft. Eleven guys from Southwestern University, Notre Dame and Southwest Baptist participated and the results went something like this. The league is a 6x6 format. The offensive catagories are HR, RBI, BA, SB, OPS and Runs. Pitching catagories are Wins, Saves, ERA, WHIP, K/9 and K's. When an owner leads in a particular catagory, they gain 11 points (11 guys in the league), second gets 10, etc. It would be our pleasure if you all would lend some comments to our strategies, or most likely our lack thereof.
Tomorrow’s post will include an update on Chris Sampson’s start against the Nationals at home in Kissimmee. There has been a good deal of clamoring on the home front for his getting the opportunity to pitch in the starting rotation. Will he continue this debate with a strong effort? Can Chris Burke snap out of his nearly month-long slump and regain the stroke that earned him the centerfield spot, thereby placing Hunter Pence baseball purgatory? All these questions will be answered tomorrow.

Uh...the link doesn't link to anything.
I just started reading this blog yesterday and it's been a treat. Being a college student as well (Rice) and an avid Astros fan, this blog is definitely something I can relate to. I just read the results of your fantasy draft and have a few comments (take with a grain of salt of course):
Evan: You definitely got some good steals in your draft (Utley in the second round, Abreu in the 5th). IMO, the pitchers were drafted too early (especially Harang in the 3rd). I think the strength of this team would be starting pitching and your offense is fine, but saves looks like the weakest part of the team.
Stephen: I think this team is pretty solid and used a good draft strategy. I like Ben Sheets in the third round and Brian Roberts in the eighth.
Thank you semperfi, I will hold this over Evan's head for a long time.
how the hell did a-rod drop to 10th overall.. that is going to be the steal of your draft
