To draft a Philly or not to draft a Philly? That is the question.

I hate rooting for players on teams that i dislike or are my main competition.

**Absolutely Virtue** · 2010-03-29 19:56

I hear that, I'm staring at the #2 pick in the BG draft and I hate hate hate Hanram.

**Moss** · 2010-03-29 19:58

bc of NL East? HanRam was a stud for me last year

**Dimmauk** · 2010-03-29 20:18

This made me laugh

Houston we have a problem!

Mindy McCready Stars In Sex Tape, Claims She Had Oral Sex with Roger Clemens at 16

Mindy McCready will make her adult film debut, offering a narrative about her famous former lovers — one of whom she says is baseball legend Roger Clemens.

Mindy McCready, Baseball Mistress, coming April 19, will feature the Celebrity Rehab star as the country singer "takes it off and gets it on with a boyfriend named 'Peter' in the tape that contains almost an hour of action," says a news release from Vivid Entertainment (the same company that released Kim Kardashian's sex tape).

On the video, McCready discusses ex-lovers, including ex-fiancé Dean Cain, and her alleged relationship with country singer Alan Jackson. She says she "took a shower and had oral sex with Clemens when she was only 16 and he was 29," and adds that Clemens was "good" in bed "when he could get it up."

McCready told the New York Daily News in April 2008 that she had a long-term affair with Clemens.

Clemens, nicknamed "The Rocket," is under investigation for perjury after he testified before Congress in 2008 that he never used performance-enhancing drugs, according to the Daily News.

A rep for Roger Clemens did not return a call for comment.

Vivid is also including a bonus sex video, Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal, featuring McCready's Celebrity Rehab co-star, which was first released by Vivid in 2005.

According to a Fox News report, McCready, 34, also took a swipe at Oprah Winfrey, calling her a racist and saying she allegedly told her she should have been strong enough to escape an abusive relationship because she is white.

A call to Winfrey's rep was also not immediately returned.

McCready was hospitalized in 2005 after being assaulted by ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight, who was charged with attempted homicide. She has had run-ins with the law on drug charges as well as probation violations — and survived at least three suicide attempts.

The singer first arrived on the music scene at age 18 when her Ten Thousand Angels debut album sold 2 million copies. McCready's new album I'm Still Here was released March 23.

LOL. Holy shit that's priceless. I guess "The Rocket" wasn't for his bedroom pitching.

**Kyo** · 2010-03-30 00:32

Highlights of the night. Took Albert with the first pick, next round got Tim Lindescum(sp) and took heyward. One of my friends is tooth and nail die hard red socks fan, he took Dustin Pedroia in the first and Josh Beckett in the second, Utley, Howard and Arod were still on the board.

Was anyone actually there for the BG league draft? I ended up with a squad pretty much lol. <- Injury Central

Better than I expected from an auto draft team. I ended up completely forgetting about the draft.

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-30 02:14

Yeah.. we had I think 6 or 7 of us there. If you need to make trades anywhere, lemme know. I'm.. well if you don't know who I am, you're retarded, Haha.

**Bregor** · 2010-03-30 03:25

Well I'm finally done inputing my league's draft and all the trades into Yahoo's system. Pretty happy with my team:

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-30 04:05

Not bad for 12 team. I'm not sure we even had anyone take Ortiz in our 10 team. He's only DH-able too, so that's why. He's pretty useless when you can fill that spot better with a player who can play an actual position. I took Bailey in the 80s I think. I like him coming into the year. Also took Kershaw fairly late.. like 60s/70s iirc. Pretty happy with my lineup as well. I'll post it later.

**Absolutely Virtue** · 2010-03-30 10:16

My OF makes me weep tears of Elijah Dukes' blood. I spent years cursing everything Milledge did for the Nats, and then I went and drafted him. I was amazed at how many legitimate closers were available late in the BG draft.

The rest of my team should mash. I targeted Beltre and Ethier, so I'm pretty happy with that. Got some good value in other places, too. And Napoli in the 23rd was prolly my best pick. Makes up for reaching for some very meh starters.

Bregor is gonna love my 2b/ss.

C- Napoli
1b- R Howard
2b- B Roberts

Jayson Werth shaves his beard

Why oh why would you destroy something so glorious

**Trichocyst** · 2010-03-30 12:02

His god awful spring may have something to do with it. Very disappointing nonetheless. The Yankees can have him. ;p

**Cephius** · 2010-03-30 12:03

We don't want him unless he's going to back up Carl Crawford :]

Girl who sits behind me at work just spazzed out because she was so happy to hear this, and then forced me to find a picture of him clean-shaven so she could see what he looks like now. Her enthusiasm is matched by my unbridled disappointment.

**Ensam** · 2010-03-30 12:53

Marlins trade for Nate Robertson, every other team in NL east cheers.

**Cephius** · 2010-03-30 14:44

lol they got the Tigers to pay his entire salary and they get him for the league minimum. Who's surprised? They sure know how to work the bargain bin.

**Akiyama** · 2010-03-30 16:36

Here's my line-up. Pretty satisfied. Snagged Chipper knowing he probably won't play 120 games, and I'll be happy with .275 and 15-20 homers if at all possible.

C- McCann
1b- Derek Lee
2b- Chase Utley
3b- Evan Longoria
SS- Derek Jeter
2b/SS- Jason Bartlett
1b/3b- Chipper Jones
OF- BJ Upton
OF- N. Markakis
OF- Alfonso Soriano
OF- Chris Headley
OF- Juan Rivera
Util- Placido Polanco

P- Josh Beckett
P- Josh Johnson
P- Andrew Bailey
P- Clayton Kershaw
P- James Shields
P- Billy Wagner
P- Phil Hughes
P- Francisco Liriano
P- Neftali Perez

B- Corey Hart
B- Benjie Molina
B- Matt Diaz

Didn't grab my first pitchers until round 7, and I took Beckett with the 64th pick and Josh Johnson with my 77th. Derek Lee with my 84th pick in Round 9, Kershaw 117th, and Liriano 217th. He has the chance to have a much better year and definitely be worth his value.

Overall, I'm pleased. I have a couple weak spots, like not enough stud pitching, and a week 4th/5th outfielder, but eh. I have a lot of upside too. Liriano could turn closer, and so could Perez.

**Moss** · 2010-03-30 17:07

I feel like everyone is thin at OF with 5 slots. My team is pretty stacked in the IF, OF gets a little iffy.
