Ah, like taking candy from a baby. I could ALMOST feel bad about taking your money. See, it is ALWAYS about the game with me. My competitive nature to $WIN WIN WIN$.

Apparently, I am still suffering from BBC withdrawal. I have nothing worthwhile to contribute today

Squirrel nuts? [/b][/quote]I'm telling you. That was one tough squirrel. But I will track him down like the rodent he is and take his jewels. They'll look good on my mantel.

Well THAT was fun. Have you ever experienced a fire alarm at a government building? :rolleyes: I have about 6 weeks worth of scrap notes and post its from scribbling baseball stats on my desk. Not that I need them now, but I kept them around for sentimental reasons. Don't want them going up in a fire!

I already got yelled at by firemen/bomb squad people for not exiting my floor fast enough (sleep-deprived still) :rolleyes: . Imagine if I tried to save my picture of Karros AND the scraps

Christ Isn't anyone's Nuts safe in this world? Nuts or Knee caps, Gee what is the world coming to? We use to think that everything was Sex and T & A.

I didn't notice if this was mentioned before, but has anyone seen the name of the first half winner? (the guy who won the 20" tv) His name is Barzini

O.K., I'll go first (although slightly modified):

"Tattaglia's a pimp -- he never'a could've outfought Plaw. But I didn't know until this day that it was -- Barzini all along..."

That's pretty cool doucheman. I got nothing right now. I'm beat. How about:
Plaw: Barzini, Barzini, what did I ever do to make you treat me so disrespecfully?

Barzini. That's wild. Only us here can appreciate the symbolism there

Have a great relaxing non-baseball PLAYING evening. Some of us will be checking out the game tonight.

For those of us who tweak at night, we can do something else more constructive. , ,

, for your 2 am pee break, you can go straight back to bed without having to check weathermlbstadiums4thewin.com

That's what 1st place gets? A 20 incher? Damn those ESPN people are cheap asses.

We want the 72"!!

A 20 incher is generous. Did you see what the weekly winner gets? A friggin' ESPN cap.
Beat 123,000 people for the week, and they give you a cap . :rolleyes:

Hey Doucheman, the All Star game is in Chicago and you didn't find a way to lie, cheat, or steal to get a ticket? Not even in the nosebleed section. Where are all the friendly competitional bets here?

Go American league.

Whew! That was close! Good game!

Generous? I'd say it's unbelievable!!!

Whew! That was close! Good game! [/b][/quote]We know Geoff. You're just worried about your Yanks having home field advantage in the world series. :p

Generous? I'd say it's unbelievable!!! [/quote]Umm, we're talking about TV sets here, Bethie. TV sets. :rolleyes:

Sorry, I'm doped up on pain meds right now. I see inches, and...oh well, never mind. But for a TV that's peanunts. It's a big screen all the way!

I could have gotten tickets, but I just wasn't into going to the game itself. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of Comiskey, err U.S. Cellular, Field. I watched about half the game though on T.V. Gagne doesn't blow a save all year and here he is, mucking up a 3 run lead.

Hey JG, since the second half starts today, is it a good idea to let people know in another thread in case they want to join or are we happy with the people we got? I know one thing... the more people we got, the bigger the pain it is to update stats and pitching staffs everyday! :p

OK - I hope this doesn't sound stupid - but I just want to make sure I am in complete understanding of this moving forward now. Not sure if I mentioned last half that I started 10 games late - so I am trying to stay on top now.

Anyway, an earlier post here got me thinking and I want to clarify - This half is not a video game or anything right? :rolleyes:

If it is I need know - in case tonight I need start 'lubing' and 'oiling' up my joystick and such.

Also what is up with the way they have us slotted already - how come I am so far down the bottom? Hey I am right behind Buffy though - so guess maybe I shouldn't complain, probably not a bad place to be for a few days, although that will be changing soon - nice to see they saw fit to keep BB on the bottom also.

What slot are you looking at Bad Daddy? The one I see has fathersson last?

Oh no, a women on drugs!- Look out!
I do hope she has her team already in place. Selection of a team on drugs would be real interesting!

:rolleyes: U R so sensitive. Ok, I should have written it was nice to see they kept BB near the bottom.

Doesn't matter, FS said he lease for the basement expires Thursday and he is out of it on Friday. Maybe I was being psychic :p

It's not a video game per se, but video game-like! :p

I assume that you've seen who is pitching for the Cards...

Well, I just set my team for tomorrow. Man, the DH position is hard now (no pun intended). The freaks took away Cordero. He was always my go-to guy whenever I need someone cheap that can at least contribute 3 or 4 points. Anyway, you guys will see once you set your team- if you already haven't done so.

No problem Bethie, I don't mind being on the bottom! and if you are having trouble understanding those inches you may be surprised how much wood I guy like me carries!

Nothing about men or their Wood surprises me anymore. It's just the power men think their Wood has that's funny.

It's my understanding that the rankings before the game starts are purely random.

We don't want the Pork Chop to get too used to the slot he has been assigned, do we?

Did you all notice his new team name?

I had not noticed that until you mentioned it. At least he admits and acknowledges it - that is the first step on the road to recovery I understand.

Video game-like, I understand now - thanks for the clafication DB. Well video game-like, still might be a good idea to lube my joystick - better safe than sorry.

And yes I did see who is pitching tomorrow but was going wait on that one - wouldn't want PL to have a stroke with too many threads not relating to 'business'. :p

Wow....some of those values sure have changed! I'm going balls out here picking a totally new lineup, so watch out world....here come The Consigliere Red Sox!!!

But this is the business we have chosen.

Without Wood (joysticks notwithstanding ) of any kind around here, this girl would be outta here.
