Easy. If you look at my roster every day, you will see that I rarely spend much on a catcher, since except for maybe Javy, I-Rod, and Posada, it's very unpredictable who will play when.

So, keeping in mind that I'm looking for a really cheap catcher, what could be better than one I'm sure will play at least one game?

Couldn't be so sure that any of the other catchers in his price range would definitely play today.

Listen to me. Giving you strategy tips. Read this fast, I may delete

Ahh... hmm... good point! I'm so used to playing Javy 6 days/week... but once values go up more, it'll be tougher...

Anyway - 27 pts for me, 37 pts for you... Sure hope Boston romps on the Birds in the 2nd game so I make up those 10 pts!! :p Oh, and Bill Mueller is a bitch going 0-5... I need one of his multi-homer games tonight!

Game 1 PS: Orioles 15, BoSox -10
Game 2 PS: Orioles 19, BoSox 26
Total: Orioles 34, BoSox 16

Yesterday, with a slew of day games, we must have filled 2 pages with chit-chat, 'cause everyone was on line watching the scoreboard.

Today, JG, looks like it's just you and me.

...and WHERE is the Boston rain I ordered????

I'm hoping Game 2 score is 1-0. Don't really care at this point who scores it

Strategy tips? I didn't hear any strategy tips from the past 2 weeks when he was slummin' in the basement.

Pork, is there a "cocky" emoticon?

I still contend *I* am the most consistent.

I think everyone else is still stewing about missing the d-h...

Count me in. I just got back, nice score to greet me . Loooong lunch. Can you blame a girl on a Friday?

Pull-eeeze. I never stew. I'm way too optimistic. I am still praying for rain!

Nope, gotta just rely on my big hitters and hope my offense is on tonight. The only thing that I would stew about if I were truly a stewer would be the fact that I share a PS with the Devil... that kinda puts a kink in my optimism. He has a good 78 points to make up PLUS what I make later to pass me by....

...I keep telling myself...

78? Must be that fuzzy math :rolleyes:

I think I made up 37 of the 78 already. So that leaves, um, let's see, programs, accessories, calculator, 78 minus 37,... there it is...41!

But since we seem to have the same PS tonight, I will honestly say that, no, I don't expect to catch you today. That'll wait until tomorrow

(Bos/Bal D-H)

Hmm, let's see... (My calculator is in my quick-launch area for easy access)... 1069 minus 977 = 92... minus the 27 pts I have today = 65. Eww. Never mind!

Well, if I subtract the 1 point I have so far... :rolleyes:

C'mon....you are WAY too greedy!!!

How 'bout just from Sosa and A-Rod?

Too greedy??? How else am I going to hold off the two doubleheader boy wonders?! :p I guess it's time to get back to doing some old fashioned, Magic 8-Ball, I mean hard work!

Seriously, I commend you two for your research work. I will kick myself when I get home!

Research? Pulleeeeze. :rolleyes: A matter of not being distracted by other things while reading the probables.

Rain in Boston!

Game 1 PS: Orioles 15, BoSox -10
Game 2 PS: Orioles 19, BoSox 26
Total PS : Orioles 34, BoSox 16

Oakland=7

Damn, I'd've been better off with either d-h PS! Ahh, well... it was too scary going into it... D-H didn't make a HUGE impact on scoring... dammit. Padres PS with 40 pts?!!

3:00 AM...waiting...waiting...

Hey, me, too... But you can do it...

My pleasure...

(Players in Doubleheader)

At least half of us paid attention to the d-h Saturday...

I probably will regret not taking one of the PS's tho... especially after Friday... but WTF... it's a long season

The experienced top half. I guess it was too much to expect LD, DB, and BD to make the same mistake two days running

Tough choices today. In a last minute tweak, I added Broussard and dropped Helton. The pitching choices were so crappy, that I decided to take a chance on Cleve. Like you, I hope I don't regret my choice. Hell, I'd take a guaranteed 15 right now.

I would like to say that I think it is unfair for me to lose points and a 'ranking' because of a double header while I was on vacation. It was bad enough that I even took the little time I had to try and make roster changes with a 'wireless' connection which of course was not the fastest. To even look at a site outside of the ESPN was difficult to say the least and since ESPN didn't say anything about the DH, I was screwed. I don't think I am playing anymore.

And although that is what I would like to say, I realize it would be like sour grapes and many may confuse it with some of my 'right on' impressions of someone such as 'here is the weekend, I will be busy - time to crash and burn' :p so I will not do that.

Instead I will take the high road and say to the two prick scumbags that took advantage of the DH yesterday - good job. Gee, I am such a sportsman. :rolleyes:

I didn't miss it today and I wanted to take one of the PS but just couldn't.

And staying on 'biz-ness' a bit I was following some of the DBacks game last night since I had their PS. Webb is going into the 6th inning with no runs scored or anything and I think maybe 4 hits yet they changed pitchers - WTF is that all about. It's funny it wasn't too long ago that I remember maybe a relief pitcher coming in the 9th inning once in a while and sometimes the 8th once in a blue morning - minus any major whoppings a team may experience when they had to bring one in early. Now it seems that hardly anyone goes past the 6th or 7th inning. Now it gets noted when a guy pitches a complete game, 10 years ago it was noted if he didn't. Anyway the relief pitching screwed me over with the DBacks game - this game sucks, have I mentioned I might not play anymore.

At least football is starting, now there is a sport where I don't miss too many things - oh and no DHs either.

I almost just crapped myself looking at today's scoreboard -- I didn't see Redman pitching for the Marlins AND I saw my pick for tomorrow pitching today!!

Apparently they're listing tomorrow's pitchers on today's board by mistake... whew! This "prick scumbag" is relieved (and not in my shorts) :p

A pitching duel in Cleveland (Game One)?? A pitching duel??!!! :rolleyes: PL smells all rosy yet again while I'm sittin' here holding my bat.

Game 2 better be a rout (by Anaheim!)

So much for the Cleve PS "gem".

Anderson leads off the 9th with a single, goes to second on "indifference", scores on Spiezio's double. Spiezio goes to 3rd on a wild pitch, and scores on a passed ball

Gimme a few extra innings....

stop crying
i dropped 40%points while I was on vacation

where the hell do go to find out if ders a frickin doublheader???????????

4:14 PM... top of the 12th, 2-2

Side note: DB's offense as of this moment:

28 at bats, 3 points...

8:14 PM... 3-2 Cleveland, 13 innings + 2-1 Cleveland after 4 innings = freakin' 43 PS pts for PL after 17 innings -- 5.5 innings to go!! = F**K!!

JG: 46 ABs = 18 pts :rolleyes:

I hate this game. I may stop playing.
