Today was baseball's opening day, meaning that people around the country were much less productive at work.

Of course, Mejeld and I were 2 of them. Our fantasy baseball league message board reads like an IM conversation (note the times of our message posts):

Mejeld 3:32 PM:
Tommy, I am sure your joy of Dunn's 2-run game tying homerun was ruined by Looper's INF next to his name. 0 IP 3 ERs and 2 HRs allowed, summing his total for the day: 5 IP & 16.20 ERA for the day...

Mejeld 4:21 PM:
Derek freaking Lee just hit a 3 run jack...sweet!

Tommy, you are dead this week.

Tommy 4:26 PM:
Mejeld, I was going to go ahead and follow your tradition of picking up the player who had the best game of Opening Day.

But unfortunately, Dmitri Young was already taken. So I settled for Calvin Pickering, who only had 1 homerun.

Mejeld 4:35 PM:
tommy you need to get an AIM just for baseball season bro...

i want to pick up Nady or Floyd...hahahaha

Tommy 4:46 PM:
Mejeld, aren't you contractually obligated to pick up Nady since he went to Cal when we were freshmen?
