DB - we are NOT comparing notes. I have been trying my damndest to move up the rankings. I have been trying long and hard to get atop Buffy - and thought I was going to early in the week but ARod kept getting in the way and spoiling it. Now I have ARod so we'll see if that helps.

Wow - good thing I'm talking baseball here.

Oh and I agree with you DB - I too wish Pedro mucho lucko tonight

It's strange how they report the Pedro story. They write it as if the game already started... but I read it with the game 20 minutes away. I guess they expect the majority of the readers to read it after the game.

Wow DB I thought you were kidding but you are not. Gee I really feel bad for all those that took Pedro - it just isn't right. Well hopefully Fossum will do well for them.

All those who feel that tonight's games shouldn't count, raise your hands...

Oh...

The majority might get us on this one, Bad Daddy!

Bad Daddy, is it just me, or do you think we are about to get an explosion of whine alerts in just a few minutes???

You know I really feel bad for Pork Chop - this has been happening all week to him. :rolleyes: Seems he has another 'Dickie' situation on his hands.

Won't be anything we are not used to - Right DB.

10 to 1 here is a picture of the first to whine ---->

My money is on the Buff-meister.

Maybe SC will have a few more punctuation marks and symbols for us!

You're right Doucheman! It is moi!

But I ain't whining. I would be whining big time if Hudson was still in it. This whole freaking game is a crap shoot - emphasis on CRAP.

At least you have Woody. Bad Daddy has that fried chicken guy

Good Luck to you both - yeah I got your good luck right heeyah!!!

I would've been the first to bitch and moan had I been home ARGHHHH!!!! Fossum - WTF?? He's no Dickie, that's for sure!!! Ugh, and NO OFFENSE AT ALL?!!! Here's your chance to catch up, folks... :rolleyes:

So what do you guys on the mini-sub-board think?

Five Families or Six?

Five Families, of course Oh, guess we need to do this bullshit:

[Pedro scratched]

I let this go by silently earlier...but this is who I played toss up with Pedro....

Soooo, do y'all think this game would be alot more fun if some of these offensive guys ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO PLAY???????

Sheesh. 4 points from the bronze and I blew it!

Is there a freakin' reason why half of the Braves didn't play today??!! And, no Piazza??! 11 pts in offense?!!!

4 words:

Curse of Pork ..Lives!

What's wrong with this picture? :rolleyes:

Um, I don't know!!

Fast forward to Vinny tying up the game in the ninth.

Oh but noone had a "playing" Braves player tonight...... :rolleyes:

Day game after a night game

Christ - I gotta pay attention to the MUTTS schedule now?? :rolleyes: I hate this game...

It's one, two, five strikes your out....

5 strikes, 5 families. Maybe tomorrow I'll start a "Who Killed the Assassins?" thread

Hey FS, watch out. Looks like JJ. is playing again

Oh, GREAT! That means Fredo won't be pitching?!!! Dammit, again this week!!

I'm in for 5 families... or maybe 6... I'll decide later. Compelling arguments on both sides.

Just got to mention that it's thoroughly frustrating when 3 of your players don't even play and a fourth one gets one lousy pinch hit at bat.

Alright, I just got back from a meeting. Of course on my cab ride over, I'm not thinking about the issues regarding my meeting, but whether there were 5 or 6 families!

In any case, my initial thought is (and I might have to pull my book out once I get it out of storage for further clarification) that there were 5 families (including the Corleone's). I acknowledge that all the references in the movie that plaw eloquently cited in the other thread has made it confusing and could lead others to believe it was 6.

My thinking is that it is well known that New York is controlled by the 5 families. The title "5 Families" represented control over politicians, gambling, prostitution, and other vices. With the nomenclature of the "5 Families" so prevalent, why would the Corleone's, supposedly the most powerful of all the families (whether 5 or 6), be left out of that grouping? It makes sense to me that they would be included. In any case, I still have to pull out my book, so I may change my opinion at a later date.

Getting back to business...

No afternoon games today. We have a good variety of pitching staffs today, so we may see some movement (preferably for the silver and below!)

Your friend is going to Chicago for the San Fran game? I hope he didn't buy his ticket already 'cause the game's at San Fran... but I'm sure you knew that. How's Garcia's back feeling these days???

Buffy, scroll up a little bit... you'll see plaw's post asking us for our thoughts on 5 vs 6...

I'm a bit worried about my Houston pick today. It's the first time I've picked them all year, I think. :rolleyes:

Frick! Yes, I see that now. Oh so it IS true when people say they talk and I pretend to listen.

Garcia? He insists his back his fine. But what is a QB SUPPOSED to say publicly? I think my career is washed up? I'm too old for this game? I'm a wuss because I'm gonna let Dorsey and Rattay take over my job, those rookies? Naw, blame the coach for not letting you play We shall see. Thank goodness I did not buy a Garcia jersey. Guy has to be a little cute to be on MY back!! Still wearing the Young #8 though till it wears out

As a Niner fan, I have been through some pretty lean years. At least I KNOW I will not be planning the Super Bowl party at MY house!

5 families? See, that is just it. I missed the question

I guess PL and I are the only two confident that Schilling might pitch today, even tho hurt? Did any of you decline to take Schilling because he was "probable" and not definite? Scary how often it happened to me this week... every day but one so far!
