Let's count pitching as a "triple opportunity, since it's worth a disproportionate amount of points in relation to a hitter. So that's 174 more chances to gain points. 696 chances left. Every time someone picks the same PS as I do that's three chances gone, or a little more than four tenths of one percent of their chances that disappear. Can't hurt, can it?

Did you guys see the standing ovation and cheers Larry Walker got when made his first appearance for The Cardinals. You would have thought he was Elvis and Vinny Castilla all rolled up into one. :p But, alas, The Mighty Duck has struck out.  I guess he can't perform under pressure.

Yeah, I was at the riverboat last night and didnt have any idea Schmidt picthed until I got home this morning. Knowing all the other Giants pitchers suck, I knew I was screwed. Doesnt matter though, no matter how good my pitching staff does, I cant buy a good score with my offensive players.

I can't buy a guy that comes out to play. I've got two no shows tonight. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones. Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug. I think I got smashed by a buick today.

I just typed a couple long paragraphs and it got wiped out from hitting some key on this new fucking keyboard and it's lost, and I don't feel like typing it all out again.  As of now, there's some probable movement -- FS is on top of CC. And I must've spilled some crab cake on me, cuz I have 2 no-shows I need some damn offense! Only 29 pts from El Douche & Co. after shutting out Toronto? *slap* I coulda hadda woody! But at least my Anti-Curse seemed to work a little. Not strong enough; I need to work on that

This has become quite a competitve group, IMO.
With the exception of SC, who trails the field badly, I think that everyone is within one good day's score of catching the person ahead of them if that person has a bad day.
Difference between
1-2: 35 points
2-3: 25 points
3-4: 23 points
4-5: 68 points (Difficult to make up in one day; not impossible)
5-6: 21 points
6-7: 30 points
7-8: 40 points
8-9: 96 points

No, how about computer problems dam family downloaded something and screwed up not one but two computers here at home. I am now down to a laptop with phoneline that keeps kicking me off and takes five times the time to do anything... It sucks and is no laughing matter. Sooner or later it happens to everyone I guess. Dam I hate it tho. it is hard to get help if you can't get online. If I could get my hands on the people that do these things to others online I would gladly be the one to put a shot behind their ear. I was lucky enough to get my ps and one player changed last night.

Yup, thanks. About as happy as seeing Sheffield's 2-run shot a minute ago (Of course, though, has him, too :rolleyes: )
