Ha Just remember I started 10 games later than everyone else - I am still allowed to do that. Besides from the day that I joined I actually have outgained you by 29 points. Not that I am counting or anything - sissy-boy Now go talk some trash to SC - I think you have him scared now :p

29 points?? Technicalities, my man.

In any case, to make you happy...

Be afraid SC. Be very afraid. No, don't look back because the Douche will come stomping down on your team. The only way to save your team is to make a recording of the Red Sox tape tonight and show it to someone else! Screw karma and the Manny Ramirez curse. I laugh in the face of danger. After all, I'm a Cubs fan!

BDD - Where'd you find that picture of my soul?? We'll see who'll be crying in a few days - all those in the wake of my rampage up the standings!

Hey, thanks for the curse, SC. Everett's already given me 7 pts in two at-bats. And Millar isn't even playing today

Now that's more like it. Tim Hudson has just thrown a 3-hit shutout. I knew that shutout would come some time!

You're a good man Bigelow...if MY pitching staff had scored me 33 points I would be dancing on your backs and shouting from the rooftops.

You are so polite.

And I want to hit something.

Wow, PL is poised to make a major comeback! Between just Oakland PS and Going-Going Gonzalez, he has 47 pts! Uh-oh!

Whoooooaaaa!!! Holy Cow!! My Yankees-Crash-and-Burn Voodoo dance DOES work!! :p

This race is tight, tight, tight......

Yes, well since trash talking has goten me nowhere, in the interest of good fellowship and sportsmanship, I have decided to be more respecful to the other respected members of this fantasy league, and show a little more respect....

Isn't it splendid how much we are all enjoying ourselves playing this wondeful game? My, my, what a shame the Yankees didn't do well last night. I shared the pain of all of you who had their PS. We do have some excellent teams in our league, don't we. The Undertakers and Yankers are doing just beautifully, don't you think?

Well, I have to go now. Everyone have a lovely day, and good luck to everyone in tonight's games. I hope all of your players do wonderfully well.

It was bound to happen, I'm not upset with the -1 in pitching... thank God my offense had 36 pts (to keep me in #1 for Week 4!) :p ! Wow, to think, tomorrow at this time, I'll be up to #4! :p (okay, now THAT is a jinx! )

And, uh, when has that ever helped, either? Keep the trash talk comin!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeee! I (respectfully.....) passed SC!!

Oh, and have a nice day....

Damn......all I passed was gas.

14 f*ckin' points!!

What this - no cryin' this morning JGeoff You are within 5 of SC - the Douche threw the gauntlet down on him last night and passed him - we are not gonna have to start calling you sissy-boy now also are we

SC - if it means anything to you - I would love to see a big night from you tonight and a quick rise back to third - just so you can shut up all these trash talker wanna-be's.

And for those wondering - I am still in last although I have narrowed the gap to first place to 400 points

Hey BDD, I think you got a little something there on your nose. Yea, right there. It's just a little something. No, a little to the left... Only kidding!

In any case, just to let you know, I give you complete credit for my unfettered ascendancy into third place. Next up, Holywood Hagen. As Chong Li said in "Bloodsport"... "YOU ARE NEXT!"

Them's fighting words. No more Miss Nice Guy....

It appears I may have created a 'monster' here. Because of my 'help' for your recent ascension - how bout helping a 'last place' brother out and tossing a few hundred points my way

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pssst! Wake Up!! Is that how you make your choices? Would it be better to play while you are awake?

And yes,I know - you started late - blah blah blah.

I started the game late and was dead last once. But at least I didnt pull up a Laz-Y Boy and stay there!! :p

WOW!!!!!

What the HELL just happened?????

I was just about to go to my computer and brag to everyone how I picked Kip Wells and he threw a complete game shutout. U don't get much more heartbreaking than this. Wells had a 4 hit shoutout thru 8 2/3. 1 FREAKIN out! 1. Then he and Mike Williams give up 4 straight doubles and then a single & now LAs up 5-2 goin into the bottom of the ninth. UN - FREAKIN - BELIEVABLE - but as a buco fan thats the kinda shit that u get used to.

AND its all because WE let Barry go in '92-
Nobody really recognizes the curse now but in about 90 years and the same 'ole shit keeps hapnin & we NEVER go back to the playoffs people well look at just like they do the Babe Ruth curse.

and........the game just ended

The hardest thing about playing fantasy is when you are a fan of one team and often have to root for or against them to play yourself. I am a huge Dodger fan and I too thought it was a done deal till 2 minutes ago (Im currently watching the last minutes of the Atlanta game) and saw the win scroll across the screen.

How they pulled that win off was a miracle!

I couldnt remember which of you guys had picked the Pirates but I observed about 30 seconds of silence (mouth gaping open)....

JEEZ PL! 3 homers (23 pts) from Richie Sexon!?! Good for you (bitch)! :p Looks like I'm rooting for Detroit again!

Wow... It looks like plawrence's no-trash-talk system works. His team's at 86 points and counting.

Damn!! Never thought 63 points would be considered a mediocre day!

Kudos to you two who picked the Mariners. As I stated earlier I was watching the Atlanta/Montreal game and I saw Sexson score all that but I didnt remember anyone having him on their roster so I just mused and said "what if?" Plawrence, you dawg!!!!

I have no idea where everyone stands in this mess. Gotta go do some quick "unofficial" number crunching. Fun Friday night huh? Luckily here in MST region, the weekend fun can officially start at midnight in an hour or so....dont want to be COMPLETELY hopeless...

Plawrence = 94 points wow what a blowout. Sexon and Chipper set this guy up royal!

Another reason we hate the Braves tonight JG????

Ugh! Well, at least I passed SC tonight... one step at a time!

Unofficial:

(Not gonna show my work but I will share since standings DID change:)

1) UU 1127
2) HY 1067
3) DB 1064
4) PL 1031
5) JG 1029
6) BSF 1026
7) SC 1003
8) OA 779
9) BDD 746

Plawrence - from 7th to 4th - good job, must HAVE been the whole respect thing. Gotta try that some time.

Only 5 total points seperates PL, JG and me....another crazy day tomorrow for sure.

Ahh! So that means tomorrow at this time, I'll be in 4th place! :p (I need to find a "jinx" icon...)

Ah, you can be SO funny late at night. You must have forgotten about the one biting your heel.

5th - at best - behind ME!

Yeah, yeah...

P.S. I should've invited y'all to the NBA post season games I'm playing. I don't know shit about b-ball, but I'm kicking ass more than here!

Nah, it ws mostly Rich Sexon and the Detroit Tigers.
