Big Daddy, did I think, I saw him with Jeter.

Where? On the beach? You sure you're not getting Big Daddy mixed up with Mariah Carey?

I know they both look good in a bikini, but still....

[/b][/quote]not much trash i can talk in the cellar

actually i left for florida last monday I think i was like 75% or something -- i didnt change my roster for a few days untill I found a computer I could use in my hotel but I was rushed & every pitching staf I picked shit the bed-- so now back in the friendly confines of the "Burgh" and im sittin pretty at like 30%.

My offense absolutely blew chunks last night- big, greasy, watered-down chunks!

Now that you all have that picture in your head, all I got to say is:

Bad Daddy, ENJOY your vacation already and quit picking teams that score 73 points! :p

Also, 2 afternoon games today but none of our pitching staffs are involved.

Ugh! DB - do you realize it is only after 8 am here and I am going on like 4 hours of sleep???

With the exception of Bad Daddy having the two YankMe hitters, most people's offense had lots of 2's and 3's....

I see Porkmeister never posted finals last night. Maybe he stayed out all night - ah, the single life. Beats the race to try to beat the sun up! I had done the math and thought about posting finals at MY 2 am pee break but who wants to be vertical at THAT hour?

DB - regarding the 73 points from Bad Daddy - he DID mention it was raining there on his vacation. Perhaps the shortage of bikini clad women (and men ) gave him more time to think about his roster.

In that case - BRING ON THE SUNSHINE WHEREEVER BAD DADDY IS!! He's a little too close for comfort.

Oh I am enjoying my vacation but thinking now maybe I should have went on vacation during the first half, but not sure if it would have helped - for those of you that may not have known I started 10 games late in the first half. Have I ever mentioned that before ? :p

Sure it seems like everyone had a good night last night. Shit, most of us had the Giants or another winning team so most of us were right together with 40-50 points.I would be happy most nights with a 50 point day, Christ everyone was close to that last night. He clipped two Yankees with great hitting and jumped another 20 points or so, good for him!
Today a little bit of everyone- maybe we will see more movement. Even tho Buffy has had a good lead this week.

Au Contraire, my beer guzzling, optimistic adversary....

For the week, I am placing a pathetic 6th...... ...and it is only Wednesday!

I stand corrected- In that case this week I am dead last. Black Monday sure took its toll on me. That is why I hit the bed early last night, I figured everyone had SF anyway so we all would have dipped together!

So let us call your lead- ROLL OVER points from week 17. Just like that cellphone commerical. But they are not anytime points so you can't use them when you like!

It's funny- just as soon as I was going to post "Man, wouldn't it have been nice to pick the White Sox today?", the Royals hit a 3 run homer. Making it better was that Beltran hit it! That partially makes up for Ordonez's 0-fer.

I hate these afternoons with no games. Just to get some talk going, I'd like to personally jinx the following teams:

Oakland, Seattle, San Fran, Yankers, 'Zona

May their opponents' offense be plentiful! :p

You want talk?

Funny how the trash talking slows way down with those lucky dogs on vacation, those holding all-nighters or those just simply disapearing into oblivion....

Me? I just took a glimpse at my roster for today. Funny, it looked alot better to me yesterday. Why IS that?

I often feel like I am holding on to the top by a thread...and someone is friggin' stepping on my knuckles...oh well - no pain, no gain.

Beer Goggles??!! Duuuuude, you don't know me very well. Honestly, I haven't touched a beer since college! I certainly don't partake while doing the roster, I could get fired!!

Tweaking at night is a whole 'nother story!

No trash talking too because those people -besides Doucheman'N Buffy (hmmmm, crime fighters!!) who are usually working in the office at this hour are either at the beach or MIA. PLUS, we "broke" the record....so for those that care, that task is completed. :rolleyes:

Thank goodness for the beach, I can now whine without risking the bad impersonations later.......

Or at least until someone can log on through their wireless connection!

Well, we're 15 minutes away from our first slew of games. I'm sure you'll be following the Oakland game intently, Buffy. My game starts at that time as well. I hope the Red Sox do better than the last time Pedro pitched. Freakin' A-Rod hit a walk-off grand slam last time... Why doesn't he do that when I have him on my roster?

Speaking of A-Rod, his last suggestions for improving the Rangers were hysterical. For the good of the team, he suggested he be traded to a winner for, you know, their good prospects! Everybody wins!

Whaddya mean "barely"?

I've got 5 teams behind me!

Upstate Undertakers (not my fault if he's not playing)
Hollywood Hagen (not my fault if he started late and is barely playing).
Olive Oil Guy (not my fault if we're not sure if he's playing or not)
JG (see previous posts for strategy tips)
Bethie (not my fault if she's not playing anymore)

DoucheMan: I have A-Rod

Let the jokes commence....we were "short" of Wood ones today

Does your husband know about this? :p

Hey plaw, that's actually a good list. It means I'm higher in the standings if we start counting the non-playing participants.

How's this for an impersonation...

"The water was really cold at the beach. And don't forget, it was raining, and the rain was cold too... I swear it's shrinkage. Don't ya know about shrinkage?!"

I'll give you two guesses!

Does your husband know about this? :p [/b][/quote]You're right. That came out all wrong.

I am PLAYING A-Rod tonight

Then your husband will definitely know about this!

TWO Guesses? Hmmmm...

Isn't it ironic? Hmm, what's in a name? BIG Daddy in the scene you just described can be such an oxymoron.

Yet me, well....I am still sweet.

It's raining here. If I can't get my 4 miles in tonight, I will for sure be home watching the games!

The cream is rising
The wheat is being separated from the chaff

Four of the top five first half finishers now occupy four of the top five spots in the second half.

The worm has turned.
We've shaken off the All-Star Game rust.

And here's the scary part for you wannabes:

There's a L....O....N....G way to go.

Now, who could be missing?? I haven't smelled Pork lately... :p

Now that's the plaw we know (and Bad Daddy loves ) rounding into form!

A whopping 7 afternoon games today including:
Oakland (Buffy, Pork ) vs. Detroit
Texas vs. Yanks (DB, HH)
Pitt vs. San Fran (Bad Daddy, SC, Plaw, FS)
Atlanta vs. Milwaukee (OA )

So basically everybody's PS except JJ's is playing this afternoon...

Milwaukee?? 0 - 2 pitcher?? You know something we don't OA??

Watch out for the Curse of the Pork, Buffy. Apparently, it's mutated so that whoever Pork picks doesn't even play. You know what that means for a pitching staff- yep, RAINOUT! :p
