Yeah, I was thinking of Greg Pryor, a utility infielder for the White Sox a few years ago. Greg, Mark, what's the difference? Another 40 pointer coming up today.

I hope so. I have him starting as well.

Ha! You and I seem to have a knack for picking the same players - and frequently. I look today and our rosters have 4 same players!! They were good acquisitions though since their market value is alot higher than what we paid. I have a decent surplus going on.

Been neck and neck with Douche Bigalow all last week. And now with you leading me by only 4 points, and with us starting 4 of the same players, it will come down to pitching.

I predict Plawrence wont get 40+ today.

I'd settle for half of that today. 6 of my big hitters aren't playing and I was afraid to substitute for them without knowing what the new market values were, so in essence I'm fielding a team with only three batters.

Damn!

I'm only missing 3 players today, and, all values went up so good thing I kept them. Not that it matters any since they're all CRAP apparently, regardless of their numbers.

Oh, lemme tell you about crap....I forgot to renegotiate a player I wanted to get rid of, had the math all figured out, picked up another player I wanted for tomorrow and then realized I was over cap. I DO know how to count, so I was a bit bewildered. How embarrassing to have to pick up your OLD player at the NEW price. Lucky he was a cheap one

Ah, screw this. I am cleaning up - I don't want him at the new price. I found someone else. Damn, one more thing in life to remember...

Renegotiate Monday, renegotiate Monday, renegotiate Monday, renegotiate Monday.....

You cant imagine how pissed I am - I dont like doing stupid things. I must focus from now on....

And everyone calls me the rookie. At least I can manage my Cap. Of course I can't get my team to get out of the 40's, I am nearly 400 point out of first place - but I can manage the cap.

If I didn't know better I would think you two are already making excuses and the games haven't even started yet. That's not the way to talk smack to the rest of us - listen to PL now this man can talk some smack His team hasn't done anything in nearly a week - but still that hasn't stopped him from talking smack - :p

I haven't had any reason to yet - but oh, I will show you smack soon enough!




P.S. I'm glad I'm not the only one to pick the Yanks tonight...

How right you were!!

MARK Prior got me a resounding ONE point because you guys all put the whammy on him.
Is it safe to say that our aggregate point total made today our worst day of the season?

Well 1 is better than -6 -- where's this feeling of deja vu coming from?? :rolleyes:

Wow, what a SAD bunch! Was everyone experiencing their weekend hangover making their picks last night? Ugh! Of course not BDD - he got plawrence's 40 points. Which is interesting - I could of sworn I saw YOU at happy hour this weekend.

Whoa, my twisted picking logic sure hung me out to dry.

And you, JG - you are either my shadow or we share a brain. Stop it!! You are jinxing me all the time!!

Insanity sets in....

Ok...and these garlic fries that we see every single night in San Francisco? I just gotta get some of those. You guys on the East coast probably dont get the West coast games. This one is on ESPN now. The few times I went out there, I dont remember garlic fries

I need comfort food right now. Bad.

How's this for stupid and twisted: I kept a player who wasn't playing today, to save the money, but read he wasn't playing tomorrow, so I traded him today! (And, of course, I paid more for the new player than had I just done it yesterday! )

Smack: You guys are history! You suck! I'm gonna win it all! I rule! (How's that, BDD? )

Very good JGeoff - although in the future you might want to not talk smack on days when you get minus points from your pitching and barely break 20. Other than that though

Good chance you did see me, I guess the difference between us is that I can hold my liquor. Someday I'll need to teach you about fluid consistency. :p

Oh, I can hold my - ......never mind.

Ah, we are all King (or queen -I'm not mentioning any names) for a day. Enjoy yours while you can BDD - it was 40 - not 400 like you need. Your Royals have been good to you save for that one day.

Yes, I am peeking at your stuff. Try and stop me.

10:15 pm and a 6th inning game. Another late night. No fun at my house while any sports are on

What DO you guys on the East Coast do?

40 and not 400 - Ouch That was cold blooded.

And regarding peeking at my stuff - you just stay away from trying to peek at my 'sluggers'

So what do those of us on the east coast do - basically we wait for the whiners in the mid-west to start putting their excuses on the table. :p

Stay up late waiting for West Coast results, same as if I had real money on these games. I guess this proves what my shrink always said: It's not about the money, it's about the ACTION.

It's ALWAYS about the action. Anything worth playing, that is.

SF is giving me a few pity points here and there. Woo hoo!

Still need comfort food.....

Morning and

JG - or anyone that had the Yankees PS yesterday. I would have thought since the Yankees game ended early yesterday that the points I saw after the Giants game ended last night were true. I could have SWORN that the Yankees PS garnered -6......giving my total score for the day 14. I KNOW I saw that last night around midnight. This morning it says Yankees at -12 and my points are a whopping 8?????

Am I the only one that noticed this?

Yeah, I know... the live pictching scores are very often screwed up as they're probably entered in manual. During the overnight update, they audit the numbers. Unless you count up the points yourself, you gotta wait 'til the morning to see the right numbers. I thought I had 21 for the day

Thanks Pork. I usually do tally the numbers after all the games and they have been correct for me so far.

Ha! Like I thought 14 was a WHOLE lot better than 8!!

You mean you guys had POSITIVE totals??

That's ok SC, the Moose is gonna let loose today on Toronto and hopefully make up for that disaster yesterday...

Gotta stay in front of the Pork.

And God helps us if BDD ever hot rods his way in front of us. BDD & plawrence - trash talkers seperated at birth.

You're probably right, Buffy - cuz I dropped the Yanks in disgust. So I won't jinx them for you guys

I don't care if they're 10-2, wins don't mean anything if they give up so many runs. I'll wait for Mo's return, or wait til they play the Tigers (BTW - WTF - their only 2 losses were against Tampa Bay?!)

Little chance of that happening, I am like 200+ points behind either one of you. Although the fact that I am that far behind and still talk a bit of smack is probably a pretty sad statement about me.

Hey if I can't win, I at least have to find a little fun somehow, someway to rev me up some.
:p

Damn i fell out of the 90th percentile. Now im at 89.2

Hey if it makes you feel any better my team is at 8, yes that is correct, not 80, but 8. I was a 2 earlier in the week so I guess I can't complain.

But tonight it seems like my pitching, just like the rest of my day is going backwards -
