DAMN! When did they announce the doubleheader? I was looking for that last night till about 12:30am and never saw the makeup game from yesterday posted as a game today. That pisses me off now, oh well at least I have Helton for two though.

Hey Douche, watch out, if I pick up 15 points on you today, I will be within the magic number of 250 points so I can talk smack to you. I know 250 points is a stretch but it's the best I can do.

These doubleheaders can bite you in the ass, tho. First of all, I had to dump some players I was rather fond of. But, let's live for taday. Also, one poorly pitched game, and I can be screwed.

Hey JG, did I call that one right last night or WHAT?? I should be a freakin' gypsy palm reader soothsayer! Either that or Plawrence has become very predictable....a trait I always look forward to exploiting.

And DB and BDD, you are telling me you have a life outside of ESPN? You didnt KNOW that game yesterday was postponed? "You're probably listening to punk rock music and bad-mouthing your country!"

Even armed with that knowledge, and after careful consideration and painstaking statistical research I just couldnt take the chance with those 2 teams. I'm hoping they both do really lousy....and that they both win one game a piece and the points cancel each other out. Naw, I am not bitter about my showing yesterday but how the hell I managed to keep my 2nd place berth warm is just short of a miracle.

Wonder if I can "will" it to rain buckets in Atlanta today? Cant hurt to do a rain dance or two....

Excuse Ms. 19 points, but I was aware the game was postponed, I lost a player because of it - I just didn't know it was put in as a doubleheader today . But yes to your question - I do have a life outside of ESPN . But please don't be so anxious for the rain dance I have a player going - of course you can wish the Braves PS gets trounced today though - if it benefits my players I'll help you with that one.

Are you guys having private conversations about me behind my back? That's not nice.

I wouldnt exactly say "conversation". It was more like - oh there is a double header, I know Plawrence is gonna take a piece of that action". Then there was talk of recipes and crocheting.

But WE can talk about JG if it makes you feel better. Did you know he's a huuuuuge Yankees fan???

Rain, rain, rain, rain...please!

"Ms."? You've made me a feminist jockette. haha.
Although I prefer Ms. 2nd place, I've earned it and I may never have it again after today.....

You are so cute when you are defensive....

Yeah? Well, take a piece of this action, Mizzzzzzzzz Second Place.

Well you should see what I look like when I am offensive. Hey that doesn't sound very good does it. :p

And PL - I do believe the JG and LDV have private conversations about you behind your back. I think it is because they are afraid of you - they know they can't catch you , they only hope they can somehow limit your lead. I think like 'Survivor' they are forming an 'alliance' or tribe

Which reminds me BDD, where is this lean, mean offensive machine I have heard you brag so much about?

And no, no alliance. You really picture me as a team player? :rolleyes:

I prosper (or crash) alone.

Well not that I am counting or anything but for the last three weeks if you take away the one day in which I had not a single person playing I have actually outscored you by 18 points.

Now granted that does not constitute a lean mean offensive machine - but it is still more points than you :p

Here's today's line:

1555 - PL - Braves (DH)
1509 - LDV - Dodgers
1502 - UU - Dodgers
1501 - JG - Yanks <-- nervous
1448 - DB - Royals
1427 - HH - Yanks
1357 - SC - Yanks
1236 - OA - Giants
1184 - BDD - Pirates (-5 today)

I like how I got 56 pts and dropped a place! But... even more importantly... I'm a hair from 2nd place now, thanks to Buffy!

As for the DH, I just couldn't do it either... a little scary. But so is Wells vs Garcia.

No way, man - My goal is to crush LDV!!

Looks like I took the wrong first baseman in the doubleheader. R. Fick (who? ) of Atlanta hit a 9 point homer in the first inning. At least Atlanta put a 5 spot on the board.

PL - All I ask is that you let Helton hit a few out for me today...

Top of the 8th - score of 7-6 Braves. Pitching Staff score for the Braves -0-. Like starting all over, from scratch.

PL - thank goodness there is another game. :p

This is gonna be a long night. When games start like at noon out here in MST, it is a loooong day of baseball!

Wow... the first game of the doubleheader is unpredictable. Atlanta just scored another 5 runs in the eight meaning 0.7% of the players out there just cursed up a storm!

I am so pissed today - pissed at my team and pissed that I even got involved in this . If I ever meet LDV she is gettin a 'booty smack' for even taunting me into this daily dose of frustration. Yesterday I switch from the Yanks to the Pirates to get me a whopping -5, yes -5, I could have picked the damn Phillies that didn't even play and would have done better. Because the Pirates were low priced, I figured I would grab Scott Rolen for the day while I had some $$, he is doing well - and this fU$&!N& sissy-butt doesn't even play. I hated him while he was with the Phils, I hate him more now, I hope he tears an ACL (but after today since I kept him ) My catcher who I also picked for yesterday along with my LF both get rained out, my SS doesn't play cause his little wrist is 'hurtin' him (I must have the All-Wuss Team), and my CF is off. So 5 of my 9 'batters' don't even play and the sixth gets me minus points. I guess the fact that I even got 20 I should take some solace in, not like some lame ass teams that don't break out of the 'teens' :p Even in last place and dropping I still find a way to talk smack - I am a sad soul.

It is very frustrating, let me see if there is a dog around I can kick or something. Let's see how many of my guys don't even play tonight now.

Man, whinin' up a storm this morning, aren't you? I figured you'd be saving your cryng for the two free throws Iverson missed last night :p

HA - Regarding Iverson I was saving that for the Basketball thread. Ughh how can he not hit at least one in that situation - that pissed me off too - thanks for reminding me :p

My pleasure. Actually, I'm rooting for Philly in this series for two reasons: Home court for the Nets, and a possible road trip for me.

Down 2-0 now, I don't believe you are gonna get your wish though.

And...that's a BAD thing, right?

Have some more coffee BDD, dont think you are quite wound up enough this morning.

I went to bed early last night (before midnight this time) and I will admit noone announced the Bal/KC double header at that time. I dont think anyone here took anyone major from those teams...

JG didnt provide us with a recap this morning so I'm trying to figure the whole mess out. I dropped a little down to 3rd. Dont worry, just slummin' to see what it's like. I don't plan on stayin'.

Same thing happened to me . I expected to wake up about 3:30 AM as I usually do and check again, but for some reason I slept thru the night

No pee break at 3:30 am like usual? You must've not drank enough before bedtime and slept right through.

Funny night last night. I know at least 3 of us die hard fantasy people that are up at all hours of the night - and last night I think we were all put away early.

Good news for us you didnt wake up. My roster was done by 5 pm yesterday and had I known, I would have tweaked it a bit. There are some sure-fire ones I woulda tried to pick up.....

Sorry I'm late

1623 - PL - BoSox
1561 - UU - LA
1547 - LDV - BoSox
1541 - JG - BoSox
1477 - DB - KC
1467 - HH - Yanks
1373 - SC - Yanks
1295 - OA - BoSox
1204 - BDD - BoSox

My apologies to Douche Bigalow for not mentioning him taking the Royals in the double-header. I had not got that far down the standings You will probably rack up some points if they play today.....

Edit Mine: only because JG beat me by 2 seconds posting the standings.

JG you get my vote for being most predicatable these days and DB my vote for most UN-predictable......

Shit, I see I got the same PS as you and LDV - I am doomed now and to think I couldn't get any more pissed off than I was this morning.

One Pedro game, I think, is worth 2 Royals games, pointwise. But on the other hand, taking the Royals frees up some cap room for more offense.

I wish I had known about the double-header... KC is gonna romp on the Orioles... *sigh*

I'm just hoping Pedro is up to form, and Santana (a reliever) can't last long... cuz if Santana pitches 6 innings the way he's been pitching 2, we're fvcked...

Playing this game is really a love-hate relationship
