The Devil Rays and Rockies have never gotten it together while both the Marlins and Diamondbacks have won the World Series. I wondered if maybe they drafted poorly. Then I discovered the expansion teams drafted last in every round leading in to joining the league. The drafts were ’92 & ’93 for the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins. 1996, ’97, & ’98 for the Arizona Diamondbacks & Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Why did MLB do this? All other leagues Including Football and Basketball where a First Pick has immediate impact give expansion teams the first overall pick. Why does a sport where draft picks have to develop in a farm system first, not do this? These owners paid a lot of money for these Franchises, Stadiums, and Farm teams, and you give them the last pick in the draft??????

Imagine how different things might look right now. AROD a Marlin ?! Derek Jeter a Rockie?! Kris Benson & Pat Burrell Devil Rays?! Mark Mulder a Diamondback?!

If anyone knows why, please share.

It's a garden party... not terribly formal. Some friends and acquaintances... should I wear a dress, a chinese top with black trousers or a tight paisley pattern top with cropped jeans and pumps? Or should I buy something new, if so, what?

Also, what way should I do my hair? It appears as in avatar.... long and very dark brown.

Please no silly suggestions...

If you could pick, what would be the perfect age to die?
I'm thinking like 105 would be good. As long as I wasn't a senile vegetable.

i am about to get my A level results, and lets say i dont think ive got what i needed, was supposed to do biochemical engineering at UCL, which would have been awesome, my second choice was economics at essex, but doubt that i have got the grades for either, at A level i studied physics, biology and economics. bizzarly enough i think i did worse in economics which is supposed to be far easier, so even if i went through clearing i couldnt do economics, which is what i thought would have been my back up subject f i couldnt go to ucl, soo i need a new university to go to and a new subject to do, so i need any ideas anything really, where is good, what is good? i think i am going to end up getting CCC poss worse which is upsetting after being predicted A's. p.s retaking is not an option i would end up jumping off a cliff if i had to go back to my college. Anyway thanks for reading, 10 points and a big clap on the back for any good answers.
