There... I put you ahead of Pork, Bad Daddy and Plaw... That's the best I can do!

Better??? :p

DB - you are TOO nice for this game

You'll make a fine husband some day. Reading women's minds and making them happy without them having to ask is a gift!

Wow! Moeller tripled with 2 RBI......

What else can I jinx in my favor??

No, I think the key to women is:

(i) Reading between the lines (you asking for first place)
(ii) Doing something about it...
... without giving them what they really want! (Putting you in second place instead of first!)

Yep, I've completely figured out women!

Yea right...

Compromise. Hey, I'm easy, low drama. Works for me...Anything else I want, I just take.
:p

You guys are TOO funny, not even 6 innings completed in ONE game There's LOTS of baseball left today!

JG, can you tell that the all-star break hit some of us pretty bad!

True Pork, but you know how it is when afternoon games are played. And this 15 minutes of gloat time may be all I have. Im taking advantage of a small window of opportunity.

Heck with it - PORK

You sound like Joey Zaza! :p

Yea, compromise... that's the word I was looking for! :p

Throw your two oranges at me all you want; trying to distract me? Hey, I got a pair, too!

Anti-Curse of Pork
PORK

23 pts already Buff??!!!!! Ouch.

Wait, hold on a sec...



K, that's better...

Well, here's how we stand at just past 2am. The ESPN scoreboard hasn't updated the Detroit game since the 7th inning, so we'll see tomorrow how the Big Hurt hurt me.

That's cold JG... :p Even behind Bad Daddy?

Well, I won't be there for long with Finley anchoring my outfield.

Just looked at my stats and couldn't believe what I saw... 5-0 Minnesota after 1 inning? Jeez, Buffy, you're killin' me over here!!! :rolleyes:

This is a pain...Used to be I only had to look at JG's and Buffy's stats. Now I have to look at everyone's.

This game sucks. I may stop playing

JGeoff - she is killing herself also - you both have the A's. Wow - the few days off seemed to only stregthen the Curse Of Pork if that is possible.

Be afraid - be very afraid.

Hey PL - you better stop talking that way or Pork is gonna call you a pussy again. :p

Remember this is not a video game or even video game like so ...

No need to look at my pathetic showing tonight...

Woohoo! Jeter just hit one out! May get double-digits after all? :rolleyes:

Wait...Vercetti didn't join? There's no team called the "Don V. Dictionaries"?

Must have missed that one

Looks like tonite will come down to (ugh) Garrett Stephenson"

Don't EVER say something like that when I share a PS with you. :p :rolleyes:

Man, the Detroit/ChiSox game finally started after a 3+ HOUR rain delay! I guess I should be happy, cuz I was dreading a late-night roster change for a doubleheader! Still have NO idea why they made people wait over 3 hours on a weeknight, when tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day.

Shame on all of you for not believing in Jose Lima.

Royals--just keep beating down the doubters.



Hey, Geoff, what ever happened to that slump we were going to be in?

Obviously one can't base an entire season after the first day of play, but already we have some interesting items...

JJ, as I said many times before, is gonna be a formidable foe in this game! I see him in the Top 4 AT LEAST.

LD had great offense to pull 11 pts up on me. Finley. Oofah!

Those who finished #1 and #2 last season are now in the bottom 3

Bethie made a few lucky picks to get into forth

And, Bad Daddy must be sweeping out Bethies lower level apartment for her return...

G'night.

You know what they say, you don't need looks, brains or talents as long as you have luck. If OA isn't gonna really play and join in the smack talk I think he should be voted off the diamond. Come on OA, bring me your torch.

Bad Daddy, just throw the monsters under the basement steps a bone every now and then and they'll bring you some luck. Hell, you got pork right there. You can make it a pork chop bone. You can make him your roomie and cry to him about how you started 10 minutes late.

Man, I hope you guys had as much trouble logging into your team as I did last night... :p

From 8 PM till 2 AM, I tried logging in at various times and I just couldn't. I don't think it was my internet because I was able to log in fine into other sites. I think the problem was at the MSN family of sites (I couldn't log into hotmail either.)

Did you guys have that problem? Probably not with my luck...

Oh no, you didn't...

That could go down as the biggest curse in pork history

Friday

Here's another little minor irritance for this 2nd half: When you click on "GangsterBBC," it tabulates standings and scores including 1st half scores. You have to press "Second Half" to get the correct order for the second half only. Yes, it's minor, but you get used to updating pitching staffs and scores one way, then they change it on you... :rolleyes:

I should take a page out of plaw's book: I may not play this second half. Stupid game. :p

Sorry I'm grumpy this morning. I'm still a bit peeved that I couldn't change my team last night. :rolleyes:

DoucheManGrumpola: You don't make up your roster while you are at work? I won't tell your boss....

I had no problem logging in last night but I noticed the site did not appear to be updating in a timely manner.

You don't want the WSox against Roney?? Prob not that bad of a pick. Don't fret it. Even after my 1 Oakland point, I apparently thought it was a good idea to take them again today....

I was able to log-in without problems, but it took forever to go from page to page.

This whole "Second Half - New Season" thing seems to be a myth. The way they have it formatted it looks more like a continuation of the first half.

So I'm still in first place.
