Imaginary All Stars

OH HEY GUYS. Remember me? I completely understand if you want to hate me. I make this big announcement about an announcement and then I completely fell off the face of the Earth. That was mean of me. I would be mad at me. So I am sorry for that. I don't usually apologize for blog life absences, because we all have lives. We all know life happens. Also, I'm not ready to tell you what the announcement was because, you know. Life. ANYWAYS YOU KNOW WHAT TOAY IS? I almost FORGOT. CAN YOU BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT!? Allison is the life saver. I really thought it was NEXT Thursday. Hashtag Space Cadet. 

THE RULES ARE SUPER EASY:

  • write about baseball on the third Thursday of every month this season. if you're stumped, check out our prompts. if you're not stumped, we wanna read what you have too! 
  • use the button! or just link back to me + Allison (WE CAN DO ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIAS TOO!)
  • link up!

  • 7th Inning Stretch Link Up
  • make new friends who like baseball!
  • have a cold beer.
okay, that last step is optional, but I mean, I'm gonna do it. SO. Here are our suggestions (I use 'our' lightly, they're 100% Allison's idea.. lalalalaaa)
  • April 16th : pick your pretend fantasy team! 
    • Only pick players who are currently on a major league roster
    • Choose 8 players for your starting lineup, 5 starting pitchers, and 2-3 relievers??
    • I believe there should be a constitutional amendment against the Designated Hitter (name that movie for bonus points..) so just don't draft them. or lose points at a position. #sorryboutcha AL.
    • the rules are made up + the points don't matter
  • May 21stfavorite ballpark(s)? Why? 
  • June 18th : All-Star picks and predictions 
  • July 16th : best promotions and theme nights, or what promos/themes would you plan for your team?
  • August 20th : if I was commissioner...
  • September 17th : favorite baseball books + movies (I can't promise I'll like you more if you pick Casey at the Bat..... but I can't promise you I won't.....)
  • October 15th : recap your fantasy team, share favorite moments, season highlights, fun stories, update your World Series Predictions. 
I figured, since I've been a ghost (not just here, all over the internet. did I even EXIST for the past few days? it's debatable.) I thought, why not make my All Star Team imaginary?! so. That's happening. READY GO.

See. I would probably have also picked Dottie, but you know, she tries to quit halfway through the season. So I'm torn. Also she turned into a super bitch when she grew up and became that doctor on Grey's Anatomy. 

So, what are your thoughts? Who's on your All-Star team?
