I took Olerud off my roster, I had Bernie Williams on it last night, but did some last minute tweaking and didn't know whether he would play. You guessed it. I took him off. He only gets a grand slam. I hate this game. Blah, blah, blah... I would say {end whine alert} but I'm sure they'll be more to follow. How about a little less questions and a lot more shut the hell up - Brian Griffin When there's a will...put me in it.

I would moan about having 3 guys not playing, but beings I think everyone had one person not in it I'm sure I'll get no sympathy. :rolleyes: How about a little less questions and a lot more shut the hell up - Brian Griffin When there's a will...put me in it.

I thought it would be fun :rolleyes: to figure that out for us, which led me to seek even more useless information regarding not only how many points we get when our PS wins, but, equally important, how many points do we get (or lose) when we pick a losing PS?

But in pitching, you're next to last. Plus, you have the lowest average of points per win, and you're sixth in average points per loss. "Difficult....not impossible"

DB - Tied for the lead in cheap wins. Tied for the lead in tough losses. Translation - I suck at this game. CB - He either bombs or does really well. Last night was no exception.

La Dolce Vita Underboss Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,722 New Mexico, USA	What's weird about my offensive woes is I don't have a problem with picking guys that don't play - like some people. My guys show up and then sometimes end up 0-fer's. That was never my problem in the past. As far as the success in my pitching choices - I just chalk that up to it being easier to see the history of a team the longer you are playing. The first few weeks of play are a bit difficult to foresee when you are choosing SP's that haven't played yet or played very few games. DB - YOU are the one I am surprised with. Any change in your other league? I have been a consistent 2nd in my other league probably since Day 1. I think I have only had one player on the DL (and since reactivated) since the game started. Maybe I am just lucky in that one... I have a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve - I have a history of taking off my shirt.....

The difference of course, is strikeouts, walks, and hits allowed. I also figured that checking everyone's total across the board would serve to check my stats as well. I did discover that MC is -1 from what I calculated, FS is -2, and SC is -2. I'm not gonna go looking to find my mistake (probably it's because I round-off innings pitched), but I adjusted the season totals above. So, without further ado....

Yes,I never see you say anything to SC or the others if they do it, so back off or go pick on Bethie and sell her your thoughts. He doesn't want to pick on me. Nor does he want to sell me his thoughts, unless he gets the credit card out. I might be easy, but I'm not cheap. How about a little less questions and a lot more shut the hell up - Brian Griffin When there's a will...put me in it.
