Today is the day!

Can you believe another year has passed, and that it is again Draft Day for the Sun Baseball League?!

It's a day on which seasons are both won and lost. A day during which chili gastro and Starlin Castro collide. And it's less than 15 hours away.

To those of us who will be in Chino Hills tonight -- I look forward to seeing your increasingly wrinkled faces.

To those of you elsewhere -- eat your beef jerky on your fat couches and feel deep shame. Especially you, owner of DamianUnited, the latest in a long line of no-shows this year.

Owners Dropping Like (Pop) Flies

Looks like this year's version of the Sun Baseball League draft could be the most sparsely attended to date.

With owners of the Zero's, Godfathers and Derelicts already confirmed no-shows, now comes word that the owner of the Bat-Faced Barristers will not be there because he apparently feels a need to be respondible to his famly and his job.

That makes at least four owners -- or one-fourth of the league -- who will not be in Chino Hills on Thursday night.

The Barristers' lack of representation will not matter nearly as much, however, as the late arrival of the owner of the Pontiffs, who has live-blogged the event each of the last three seasons to the benefit of those owners in far-flung locales which now, apparently, includes the Barristers.

2013 SBL Draft Night Set

From the Office of the Commish:

"Gentlemen of the extraordinary league:

We have an official date for the 2013 SBL draft. In fact it turns out to be the ONLY date that will ensure the presence of a majority of SBL owners at Draft Central, aka The Patton Estate in Chino Hills.

The date: Thursday, March 28.

Time: 6:30 p.m. PDT.

The place: The aforementioned Chino Hills domicile of our generous host.

See you there (at least most of you, thankfully)."

 

What, no April Fool's Day psuedo-prank this year?
