GF: I'm home GF: Yoo Hoo, I'm home GF: You in there? GF: Yoo Hoo GF: Anybody home? PL: Hi, honey GF: Hi, Sweetie. I see you're on the computer again. PL: Yeah. I'm doing my baseball team for tomorrow. GF: When does it all end? PL: Never GF: Never? PL: Well, there's a small window between the end of the baseball season and the start of the basketball season. That assumes ESPN doesn't have a basball playoffs fantasy game. They didn't last year, but who knows? GF: I want to throw this computer out the window. PL: Meanie. GF: I don't understand why you have to do this every day. PL: I explained that already. About 20 times, for chrissakes. GF: I still don't get it. PL: That's because you don't understand how the game works. See, every day you have to pick a different pitching staff.... GF: What's a pitching staff? PL: A pitching staff. You know, every baseball team has a bunch of pitchers. GF: Oh :rolleyes: PS: But every day, a different pitcher pitches. So if you change your PS based on who's pitching, that changes the whole salry cap thing. You're either over the cap, so..... GF: What's a salary cap? PL: Well, each player has a value, depending on how good her is. You've heard of Derek Jeter, right? GF: Yeah..... PL: Well, he's good, so he has a higher value than, let's say,Alex Gonzalez. GF: Who's Alex Gonazalez? PL: Well, actually there are two Alex Gonzalezes. One plays for Florida, and the other used to play for the Cubs, but now he plays for Montreal. GF: I'm confused. PL: So am I. I got them mixed up once and took the wrong one. The one I took went 0-4, and the one I meant to take went 3-4, with a homer and 3 RBIs. Cost me 11 points. Anyway, each player has a different value, so you can't have a team of all players who are as good as Derek Jeter. GF: Why not? PL: Because then you'll be over the salary cap GF: What's a salary cap? PL: Well, the total value of all of your players can't be more than 50, so... GF: I'm going to jump off the terrace now. I'll probably be killed since it's a nine story drop. PL: OK hon, see you later. Have a nice time.
