T minus 25 and: whoa, book is finally here—but it shows up on a day I have work, then class
T minus 24: That darn book—Wells is a 4 instead of a 2, Yoshii is a 33 instead of the 26 predicted…

T minus 20: Okay, I have two firsts and two seconds, will there be anyone worth taking with those picks
T minus 19: No, Dave, I don’t want to trade any of those picks. Want to trade me an extra second?
T minus 18: What was I thinking, there aren’t four guys who’ll be there when I pick worth taking in the 5th round
T minus 17: Should I take him or him with my first pick? If I take him, can I then trade him to Thurston for his house?
T minus 16: Have book memorized
T minus 15: Tired of looking at book
T minus 14: No, Dave, you can’t borrow the book-I need it to sleep well at night
T minus 13: Sleep, what’s that? I now have a short list of the guys who have 1b-5e25 in the book who could step in if Nick, Frank, and Ortiz are out
T minus 12: Yep, I’m taking him because he got a gold star in TSN Forecaster
