Wasn't it D.Gabriel that was traded during the draft last year? yep.

I drafted him and thought at the time it might be an OK move.

Although he had a few good weeks, he was basicaly a dud.

Just hire a driver and a limo and have him circle around the hotel until you are finished...then u can relax in the back checking out your new 2007 roster on the way home....if you need anyone, let me know, this guy Mitchell we use has a nice combo of benz limos and some RR phantoms as well

Thanks for picking my brain off the floor. SO much FF writing going on.

Hey King of Queens. My co-owner and I will be coming to NYC from Syracuse NY. We were in Main event NY 7 league with you last year(Team name:Drive for Five). Do you have any directions and/or parking solutions for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

#1, there are PLENTY of spots to park in Staten Island for free. Then you can eithe rtake an express bus for $5 and that will take you within 3 blocks of the Hilton.

OR, you can park at the Staten Island Ferry for the day. It will cost around $8..Then you take the Staten Island Ferry which is FREE, to Manhattan. Then you'd take a $2.00 train ride to the Hilton.

OOOOR, on Saturdays, you can park downtown for FREE in Manhattan, near the world trade center site. One block west of Church street, off Barclay, has plenty of spots that you can only park on Saturdays. Then you either take a cab or train to the Hilton. go to google earth and you'll see exactly where I'm talking about. Or you can just pick me up in Staten Island on Draft Day and I'll show you where to park...lol

I have a million options. Let me know if you want more.

Park in Queens(LIC or Woodside) and come in..the hell with Staten Island the armpit of the boroughs..signed Baggler former partner of Team Diesel...KoQ would agree....

Baggler, you come on twice a year to post. You bust on me in half your posts and the other half is filled with jibberish. Staten Island isn't the "armpit of the boroughs. LIC is known for their hookers. Woodside is known for illegal immigrants that work at all of the bars and strip clubs around there. And since your a Yankee fan(Baggler), I'll include the Bronx, which is truly the armpit of the boroughs. This borough should have been in code red of state of emergency since Ed Koch was mayor. Yankee stadium and Arthur Ave. are the only 2 reasons people go there other than if they are being brought to the penetentiary, right next to Yankee stadium. WHICH IS WHY THE YANKEES WEAR PINSTRIPES TO BEGIN WITH. The first year of New York Yankee baseball, the entire team was a chain gang from Riker's Island Prison.

Now Bagglers, if you're not going to say something nice...You know the rest.

Too many people on these messageboards think you have terets syndrome as it is. Please don't make it any worse.

To all who read this, I know Eddy since we're about 14. We've been fighting like this since we played wiffleball on 95th street in Queens...lol...It's all good.

Victory Boulevard?

We love it!

Hylan Boulevard?

We love it!

Bay Street?

We love it! We love it!

As I suggested in my earlier post, for anyone travelling by car, I would recommend NOT parking in Manhattan. If you're coming from New York or New England, park in Queens. From Pennsylvania or mid-Atlantic, park in New Jersey.

Fess up, I've seen you at the Botanical Gardens.

A few other reasons to go to the Bronx:

(1) Golf - solid public courses at Van Cortlandt Park and Split Rock/Pelham.

(2) Bronx Zoo

(3) Fordham University
