The world of fantasy sports has grown exponentially since people have been able to play online. All the stats are updated in real time, and every sport seems to have a fantasy option now a days. They now have online drafts also, but the best part of fantasy sports is to actually have a draft day where all the people get together, talk trash, drink a few beers, and tell people how horrible their last pick was. Anyways, today was that day for my fantasy baseball draft, although things were quite different this time around. Our draft was scheduled a couple of months ago, and I must say I’ve been looking forward to it. However, it seems the Wives of the guys in the league seemed to have conspired against us. To give you a little background, over half of the league (12 guys) now have kids under the age of 2, which means in order to get a day off for most of us, the 2 month planning was necessary to get the “day off.” Well, as of Thursday, everything seemed set for most of us, but that quickly changed. Barbie came down with strep throat on Friday, which meant it was too late to get a babysitter, so I had to stay home and watch Kyle while drafting. My other friend’s wife also mysteriously got sick on Friday, another wife apparently didn’t give my one friend the day off, and another wife was out for a job interview. All of these seem like good excuses, but when you add them up… let’s just say conspiracy theorists would have a field day. So, a good amount of the league was at home, watching kids, all the while trying to figure out who was last drafted, marking the player off, and then deciding who to draft. Of course, there was the feeding times, diaper changes, crying, and everything else going on during this, so it was quite the Event. Never before have I heard so many kid’s voices during a fantasy draft. I guess it just means we are all getting old, and the women still rule the roost.
