Gee Geoff, Don't you have any real friends or a job?
Where in the world would we have that much time and still eat, sleep and chase women?

LMAO

I must have missed something here (too many numbers in my head) and I know it's directed at JG... but FS... huh?

DS - I think FS was referring to Pork's earlier message on the various games he plays - fantasy sites - etc.

Also I will be off site next two days for work so although I would love to be able to chat with you guys and gals opps gal - :rolleyes: I won't be able to. Somehow I am sure I will manage to survive.

But DS - hope everything goes well with your move tomorrow - hope all is completed as you want and that you get everything moved in 1 piece - especially that video like game that you have. Seriously though good luck with all that - it's always a bit exciting but moving is never that much fun.

Oh, I see... never mind, FS.

Thanks for the shoutout BD. Oh, the joys of home ownership... :rolleyes: So I call today to set up my coming in tomorrow and to confirm that the end date was in fact August 21st... Nope, they said it was August 31st. Anyway, I have it in writing that that the date is August 21st. I am coming tomorrow and if I'm not happy with what they've done, heads will roll.

Alright, serenity now!

In any case, it looks like I'm moving late next week instead of this week like I thought...

I started today with a 66.6 pct points- a very bad number and then I have the Phillies, who I just remembered burned me last time and look like they are doing it again tonight.

Maybe I could roll a little fresh paint on the walls as it seems I will be here longer then I first thought.

Wednesday

DB 1593 Ariz (22) 58 1651
JG 1573 Tex (32) 49 1622

No movement Wednesday... and goddamn, my Dickey performed great, without Viagra! (Damn offense)

Thursday

DB 1651 Woody
JG 1622 Pedro

LD 1604 Pedro
BD 1569 Minn
SC 1546 Pedro
OA 1502 Pedro
FS 1424 Pedro
JJ. 1362 LA

Hmmm... Tomorrow will all depend on offense I guess.

Considering that 2/3 of us picked the same ps I think offense will be VERY important to the standings. This Martinez-Hudson matchup is one of the best of the season, so the majority of us will either sink or swim together there; our offensive lineups will make or break us.

I bet DB wishes he took Pedro.

DEE-FENSE (clap-clap)
DEE-FENSE (clap-clap)

(I almost took Schmidt)

It's a little too early to play dee-fense, plaw. You should know that better than anyone. Well, I guess I was inspired by all the talk of breast stroke, Dickey, Viagra, and A-Rod yesterday!

In any case, I've had A-Rod all season!

Only JJ5 has an afternoon game today (Montreal @ LA) while the rest of us are in the evening.

I was thinking about this last night... What do you guys think of Pujols taking his suspension (which he publicly said he was going to appeal) to recover from his sickness and most probably, to be in better health for his hit streak? The timing seems fishy to me...

JJ5 will probably know this, but did Joe Dimaggio achieve his streak in consecutive games?

Yes. And after going hitless in game 57, he proceeded to hit in his next 17 straight after that.

It's never too early to play defense. The more players you have in common with everyone else, the fewer the opportunities everyone else has to catch you.

You taking notes, FS? :p

I understand your point. It's just right now, my lead isn't even big enough to protect. All things equal, I just thought the Woody matchup gave me the best chance at points. Of course, this decision was made before the 14-0 explosion of offense last night from the Team Formerly Known as the Pirates. :rolleyes:

By the way, I never knew that about Joe D. If he would have just eked out a hit in that 57th game, that would probably be the most unbreakable record in all of baseball. That and Cy Young's win (and loss) total.

Not to belabor this point, plaw, but that's 56 consecutive games right- he took no days off for flu-like symptoms?

Dammit!!! When I peeked last night, my fuzzy math had me surpassing the current 3rd place but I knew there were still 3 games still going on. :rolleyes:

And as already noted, this day is a BUST!. Will all come down to offense - which NORMALLY doesn't make as much of a difference in movement as a bunch of different pitching as in the past few days. Gotta admit, that was kinda fun! Of course, I made some really good choices so ESPECIALLY fun for me!

Speaking of busts....well, my breaststroking certainly didn't distract the Pork Chop enough to slow him down. No match for the Dickey, huh? Ok, Pork, now I am on my back - floating. Go ahead. Take the Rangers tomorrow

It also would've garnered Joe D. some big bucks. Heinz Ketchup ("57 Varieties") was prepared to pay him $10,000 if he had hit safely in 57 straight games. That was a lot of money back then.

Man, This is getting to be to much like work.

Some strong bats last night.
Yankees 17 hits
Phillie 11 hits
Milwaukee 12 hits
KC 13 hits
Tampa Bay 13 hits
Cubs 12 hits
White sox 11 hits
Angels 10 hits
Boston 17 hits
Oakland 11 hits
Pittsburgh 15 hits


My pick Phillies- 11 hits and only one run! Milwaukee 12 hits but get 10 runs.

Do we have a smiley with a gun to his head?

Right, DS

FS, How's this:

BTW, Hudson was scratched last night. We're up against Hardon; I mean, Harden. At first I was thrilled, but then saw he had a microscopic ERA that was rubbed out his last outting...

I was thinking more to the temple or under his chin, but it will do to one comes along.

I am still waiting for the one of the guy grabbing his crotch. I would have so many uses for that one!

Allright, so my curiosity got the better of me and I peeked at the Top 5's offense. Since we all, sans 1, are going with Pedro....

Interesting observation: (Or in other words - how do you expect me to get on top again if we all are thinking alike???)

I share my catcher with BD
my 2B with DB
my 3B with BD

(thank God noone's initials are VD!! ) anyhoo....

my SS with all you guys (A-Rod lovers)
my LF with PL and JG
my CF with DB
my RF with JG and PL
and my DH with BD

The ONLY person I have all by my lonesome is my 4 million dollar 1st baseman. I don't realistically see me getting the double digits I need to forge ahead - but of course you never know!

Interestingly enough, the number 6 place sitter SC has 6 offensive players EXCLUSIVELY! Shares those 6 with noone in the Top 5. I keep telling myself he is far enough back I don't have to worry about him TODAY.

Yep, I keep telling myself that!

I know I'm not jinxing anyone since no one has the Expos PS, but Zach Day is throwing a perfect game right now...

Edit: There you go, I jinxed him! LA just got a hit.

And it was Beltre! Thank you!

Now, you wanna help a sista out and jinx him some more - to the tune of Beltre giving me say 10 points?


'scuse me....Bad Daddy and I? :rolleyes: Copycat. I shall call him Single White Female. He WANTS to be like me, you know.....

Whine Alert

Just realized...

Freakin' Green isn't playing. No wonder LA couldn't get a hit.

That's just great.

Score's tied. Ooooh, I'm on pins and needles :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Anyone else look at Kyle Lohshe's name and think Keyser Soze?


No? Ok. No ink blot tests for me either then....

Hey kids Did everyone behave themselves in my absense today - didn't think so. :rolleyes: Well I would like to say that I missed all of you - but that would be a lie. And no move for you today DB huh - well as long as you got the video like game for simulations - I guess that is probably what matters most, huh ?

I see that Bad Daddy, one of the few lone wolves today, had time to peek in here in between meetings.

Buffy and Bad Daddy should stop comparing notes. That's why you two are right next to each other, like peas and carrots.

To all you Pedro lovers, I sincerely wish you all the luck in the world. It looks like Pedro was the pick tonight and I will be kicking myself for that oversight.

:p
