Damn that PL - 35 points from his PS like he needs it. And here I am stuck with a rook and double digit ERA. Oh well, reality is it doesn't matter for me at this point - I am stuck at 5th - can't really grab 4th - have to totally collapse to hit 6th so here I'll stay. But if I didn't start 10 games late then .....

Hey Basement Bethie - have a good time in NYC - been there before? Gonna catch a show?

This weekend I'm having friends over - yes I know that is hard to believe I have friends so I'll be in my backyard - don't everyone get jealous of my exciting weekend.

I didn't get an invite to the backyard bash, did anyone else?

Maybe BDD should define "friends".

As for , how do you spell this hand motion I've got going on right now? I'll give you a hint, I am taking my right hand, cupping it under my chin and jerking it forward rather violently - italian style......

EDIT: Hey BDD, what happened to the picture of my legs????

No invite to the BIG, Bad party either, buffy. I'm hurt cupcake. Really hurt. I would have at least brought the buns.

Never been to NY BDD. No shows planned either. Unless you count the peep show. Wait, they don't throw beads at you in NY do they? Guess I can't just be flashing anyone then, can I?

No gals were invited?? BD, what kinda party you throwing over there?? I don't think I can make it anymore...

I JG, I might join next season of this game, but what kind is it? Is it aa video game type thing?

If you don't seriously know baseball, don't bother :p

I know the basics, but I don't follow it on TV and crap. But just answer the question :p , is this like a video game or something?

No, it's not a video game. It consists of reading baseball stats for an hour a day trying to compile the best team of the day. Every day. For a couple months. Only a true fan would find that exciting

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Did you mention it was everyday JG? Including weekends and holidays? Just wanted to make sure...

Hey Bethie, as stated, I will be back Friday. Drop me a PM or email with your cell number or something if you want me to show you some of the sights. I know some good ones...

Thanks, DS - I forgot about Saturdays, Sundays and holidays! All of 'em! Even when it's sunny out!

Is that code for collusion?! :p Bethie, have a great trip! If you and plaw see the sights, make sure and take pictures- especially those when you both sneak out to watch the ball games!

HA - C'mon don't leave me hangin here - I was counting on you to bring the quiche. Don't worry there will be gals there - Buffy and BB can't make it cause they already got other plans (or so they say) - some crap lame excuse about vacation and going to some sucky Dodgers game and another about seeing the Big Apple - like who would rather do that than come to my backyard bash :rolleyes: . C'mon I live by woods - real wildlife - deers, ticks, lyme disease - we got it all.

Sucky? Ah, so you know Nomo's pitching....

27 Points from the Rook with the double digit ERA - see sometimes we simply need to tempt fate. Of course luck also plays into it. A shame I didn't tempt fate with my offensive players though.

Luckily I didn't go the course of Buffy and Douche taking Colon tonight - what a shitty pick that turned out to be

Holy Shit!! A video game!! WTF are you on?! Damn. DV, this thing actually sucks really. Don't do it.

Ditto - what he said.

Heeeeyyyyy! Whaddya know? Bronze IS my color!!

Yeah yeah, go ahead get all the Colon jokes out of your system. Let me go on my mini-vacation with a smile on my face

A few observations:

Nice to find out my Catcher, 1st baseman AND 2nd baseman didn't even show up to play today....and then I wonder why I get no offensive points!

However, 's Catcher and 1st baseman didn't show up as well, but he managed a whopping 66 points! (2/3 of the 's number, I am not surprised.)

BUT! I had a home run hitter tonight. Too bad and Pork Chop had him as well. That pretty much cancelled out MY victory dance.

Beth: don't allow to lure you to see the sights of NYC. I saw something in a movie once .

BDD: Quiche? you're kidding right? I mean about KNOWING that Pork makes a mean quiche

Don't know why all the fellas are in such a hurry to pass me. Gettin' too used to the view? Sissies.

I must run. And I say this with the utmost sincerity: Don't miss me too much!

Christ, I can't leave this place today tied with fathersson. Something's gotta give. I either have to be losing but 50 points, or just beating his ass. This is too close for comfort for me. Of course, I can't speak for fathersoon.

TIE! No way!

Ties are like kissing your sister!

Bethie, even if we tie it would be a lost to you. After all I am not swtiching and adjusting my team every hour of the day. Even when The Yanks were playing a tuff team like BOSTON! So you are struggling to keep up!
SC was trying to be nice to you and put you ahead on his last list! I know he doesn't want you to feel bad before you go away! After all a girl has to look her best in the Big Apple! and puffy eyes and dark lines running down your face only makes New York look bad!

By the way have a good time and rest up because the next big game will start soon and you and I will not have the excuse that we started late!

Looks like all comes out in the final wash and PL will take the first half. Good going!

Bethie, I hope the trash talk lifts your day!

Don't use an excuse like "not playing" to bolster yourself. That just means you're not "picking" anybody, so you have nothing to "brag" about. The reason I'm ahead of you is because that's how it appears on the fantasy board. Even those guys know that "chicks rule, and dogs drool". My mascara is planted firmly on my lashes my friend. I keep saying I'm not a whiner. I think of this as exhibition. I now am getting all my kinks out. How are your kinks?

Ditto - what he said. [/b][/quote]I am going to church and say a litttle prayer!
I thought this was a safe spot.

Oh Bethie, where did I say I wan't playing- I just said that I wasn't switching my team!

Now the question is will I leave it stand the rest of this game till Sunday or will I lie and switch the team to get you back in the basement once again?

I did feel that I have the basic playing terms down for now so I wasn't going to sweat the end here, but this trash talk has given some value to the last three days of the game!

Yes, I know that you would rather cut out your tongue off then whine or show any weakness and isn't it great that they have waterproof Mascara now a days

Be well and travel safe!

I thought all guys adjusted themselves that often?

We all should find out pretty early today if we will have a good day or a bad one! Game starts in 10 minutes.

On another note, I think already greeted Bethie but Buffy, I hope you have a good time as well on your mini-vacation. When does it start again?

On a third note, I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the All-Star Extravaganza on Monday next week. I guess the only attraction is the Home Run Contest, but with no Bonds and no Sosa, the competition has lost a lot of its luster. What else is there other than the homerun contest?

Tell me about it.

Good thing my offense picked up the slack.

She's gone, but no doubt made her picks at dawn this morning for tomorrow (which will stick for Sat and Sun). I wonder who she picked for 3 days? She better not beat me w/o playing!

Gee I thought I would never say it but I think I miss PL and Buffy - and tomorrow we lose BB - it's gonna be pretty lonely here tomorrow.

So anyway in my best PL impersonation

Can we get back to business here.

For those of you that may have taken Pirates 1B Randall Simon be aware he may be charged for his actions in the Milwaukee game last night. Apparantly during the 'Sausage' race he hit one of the contestents with his bat. SOOOO he could be charged with whacking the sausage

Wow they are strict in Milwaukee I guess . Ok I am sure PL would be proud that we bought the attention of this thread back to the game at hand. :p
