Nice try, Douchie. Since you didn't even really want the Sox this week, you get only half points for your ps.

Why do I even bother?? I change from the Cocky coached Arizona ps to (unknowingly) the Cocky coached Red Sox staff. So, the two teams meet and guess what? Arizona pitches well.

I'm Cocky cursed.

The highest scorer from our group yesterday?

JL, who admittedly stopped playing a few weeks ago.

Maybe it's time for me to take up Fantasy Bass Fishing.

What're you whining about? I wouldn't call 21 pts in a loss "cursed". It was the first day of the week. There were only 5 MLB games played yesterday, and the difference between AZ and BOS PS's was only 7 pts. With the added bonus (for some of us) that BOS lost.

Geek!

Your point?

On top of your head.

Stop being a whine wiener. Lemme whine in peace.

WTF??? ... It's 8:40 and the system hasn't updated yet!!

Cocky's live chat is about to start, but I can't think of anything to say/ask. ...at least anything polite. lol

He answered me!!

Its kinda weird when they actually answer your questions. One time I actually got through to Colin Cowherd's show on ESPN radio. Knowing that they screen you before you get on, makes you feel like you either have a legitimate point or, depending on the host, they want to argue with you. I have yet to have a question answered in a live chat. Probably because I ask questions about the Reds or Bengals, teams that are not very sexy for national sports coverage.

Geoff I would watch out is sounds like Cocky has a man crush on you. He's watching you, watching you, watching you.

Just him remembering my real name was a bit freaky

That's pretty funny, JG.

OMG.... Geoff is stalking Cocky!!

I think they're stalking each other, SC.

I guess we can call them the Cocky Doody duo then.

Two people who stalk each other are usually also known as "lovers". Jeoff and Cocky, sitting in a tree...

P-I-C-K-I-N-G
First comes pitching,
Then comes batters,
Here comes Cocky,
All torn to tatters.

Hey! The same approach I use!

I need to learn that order... I'm stupid and pick my batters first then don't have enough to pick good pitching so I have to go back and find a cheap batter or two. It's always so disappointing because I thought for sure I had the greatest bunch of hitters lined up for the week.

Holy doodyballs.... The Sox ps is taking the pipe tonight.

Oh, poor you after 5 brilliant outings!

Frig, I forgot again.

I'm finally taking JG's advice and setting-it-and-forgetting-it.

I had to make a few changes. I lost a chunk of salary room when Soriano went down. Escobar and Chipper were hurt last week and that hurt me, but I understand that they should both be back tomorrow, so I kept them. I have them locked well below market value and can't afford to lose them.

I had negative points on Sunday. I sunk.

I went with the White Sox staff this week. They have 7 home games against Cleveland and (I think) Baltimore.

Cocky went with the Angels, who I had last week (for 127 pts), but I reluctantly switched to Oakland (who're playing 7 games, altho on the road -- and VERSUS THE ANGELS!)

There are only 2 weeks left in the segment before everything resets, so I figured I gotta make a move if there's any chance of getting back up there.

Week 13
Penultimate week of segment

Looks like I fucked up with picking Arizona this week. What was I thinking?

OAK (me) vs LAA (cocky)

2 days... OAK 35 vs LAA 31... close... considering they're battling each other! Overall I'm 10 pts ahead of him after 2 days... not enough! Guess I gotta shoot for Segment 2 at this point...

After 3 days:

LAA: 53 pts
OAK: 36 pts (The past 2 days were lousy. But I went w/ them cuz they had the overall "best" PS stats, and were to play 7 days this week, so there's plenty of time left... to probably fuck up even more )
