Awesome, man. Believe it or not, I'm at 94%ile in NBA Virtual GM (another ESPN game)... I haven't gone to the b-ball thread cuz I don't really know much about the game, but I do like Kidd and the boys... But here's not the place for it

Anyone got some ice for my ass? It IS possible to kick yourself!

Dodgers were on my roster till 11:30 last night when I had a feeling in my gut - that in hindsight must've been bad wine - and I changed to the Cubbies.

So, to recap what I have learned:

1) Never, never go against your initial instincts.

and 2) There is no Curse of Pork Chop. Big Daddy, I hate to break it to you like this but - IT IS YOU!! Bad Daddy Curse bad indeed! Should have left the man alone with his wood!

I'm surprised I got double digit points. Rainout pitching staff AND two offensive players.

Who gets to apply it?

The part of your anatomy where said ass is located, namely your back? I'd watch it if I were you. Don't worry about catching me, that ain't gonna happen. Worry about hanging on to second. :p

Wednesday

PL 2146 Indians
LD 2062 Oakland
JG 1996 Oakland <- Curse of Buff?
UU 1954 Dodgers
DB 1953 Woody
HH 1823 Yankers
OA 1779 Pirates
SC 1742 BoSox
BD 1670 Cubbies

It's funny- Woody's status in our game has taken on legendary proportions. There's no need to mention his team name- just plain Woody is necessary.

Let the Woody jokes begin.

Let me start- a classic used by BDD- I'm all alone with my Woody today.

Don't forget the balls you must have Douche-Man, taking on the Berkman/Biggio/Bagwell trio. I'd wish you luck, but you know.....watching my back and all :rolleyes: I have been a bit distracted.

My focus is all in front of me now. It's only Wednesday, there is still plenty of time to not only catch up but to overtake.

Curse of Pork or Great Minds think alike? We shall see........

So I see that I was alone in my choice of the Cubs. My thinking and hope is that they will go with Wood again, rather than making him wait another rotation. So as in last week - today I have Wood and I am all alone - so I am hoping for yet another good and productive day - hoping for some high heat - hoping that my Wood will go deep today - and at the end an explosion - of runs from the Cubs.

Sorry for the early morning smack talk - but as mentioned before, on days that I have Wood, I get abit cocky.

Hey! You just said "There is no Curse of Pork Chop" yesterday! :p At the rate you're going, it may just be the Curse of Buffy now... :p

Damn! Is it hot in here or just you? Cold showers for everyone! :p

I'm not sure about your Wood going deep....how does that work anyway? I would think that Wood would pitch on Sept. 19th for the scheduled DH. I thought they just went ahead with the regular lineup for today which means all you get is a Matt to lay on.

Is that how it works? Anybody?

What are you implying there, Pork Rind? You haven't been in front of me in any kind of recent memory.

I'm pacing myself

HUH?? This is still real-life baseball we're talking about - how can they schedule a pitcher months in advance? I think you're brain's gone soft with all that comedy you're playing with your fantasy team...

Wood and Woody are scheduled to pitch today

That's cuz I like the view from behind

Maybe you should be the one to apply the ice. You're the closest. You wouldn't mind, would you?

Gosh Pork...I hear ya loud and clear!

Like I can be bothered with details. Rules. All that other junk. Let the boys have their wood. Maybe it will (hopefully) at least keep their typing hand busy. Can you tell I am bitter about my huge faux pas yesterday?

And though I totally appreciate your kindness in posting scores daily that saves me precious time and calculator frenzy, I am still gonna leave you in the dust.

BooYah Wood is set to play - I have no idea what LDV is talking about. I just think she doesn't want me alone with Wood again after what happened last week. In any event,I knew it - Wood never lets me down. :rolleyes:

I love early games. We shall know the holder of the curse before I even leave to go home for the day.

Me, too - less agonizing than waiting 'til Midnight!

Moving down the thread...

So if Oakland does poorly, whose curse will it be? :p

Pork, of course. And he knows it.

But not today. Today I must improve over my game yesterday. Without the benefit of wood of any kind . If JG wants to ride my hemline bit , so be it (just this once, dont make it a habit).

Wood is good. Woody, that is! Woody is like American Express- you should never leave home without it- and definitely when you are trying to catch plaw.

My curse has been lifted - you said so yourself. You just jinxed it for both of us, though, :rolleyes: so when we fail miserably, it'll surely be the (In The) Buff Curse!

You're trying to catch PL with your Woody??

Oi, I forgot the Milw/SD game started early. Glad I still have Sexson today. Good for you, OA, having Geoff Jenkins -- damn 3 HR's today! (And you also have Sexson's HR) Watch out, HH!

You're trying to catch PL with your Woody?? [/b][/quote]I am today! But don't worry Pork, I'm trying to catch you, UU, and of course LDV also with my Woody. Maybe I'll catch you all at the same time.

You'd need a pretty damn big Woody for that!

Hmm, wish I had picked Milwaukee PS today... a one-hitter going into the 9th...

6'0", about 200 pounds. I would say that's pretty damn big! It must be a record!

Men - always bragging 'bout the size of their wood. :rolleyes:

JG - 33 points for the Brewers...do you have one of those slapping my forehead silly emoticons? (Cant kick myself anymore after yesterday)

Our game is underway Pork-man.

And 29 pts for OA, from 2 batters... *clapping*

Yup, game's underway... sure would like to see some K's though...

I got 3 for VanderWal (yay! yay!)
