Look at the angel talking smack! I think it's time for me to bury some pork with my pom poms!

Hey JGeoff, you need to remember that when you have Wood, it is not always as important as to how you start - but how you finish. It was minus points near the end but luckily a good explosion of points put my PS in a somewhat decent day.

For those extra 6 points, I guess

You dare to question my logic.... :p

Mine was decent-er

- and without the benefit of wood here!

Just wonderin'...I figure if I can figure how you figure, then I can out-figure you

Wow, an exact tie between me and UU! You're lucky I didn't pick the Yanks tonight!

Damn rain-shortened game, no additional points to gain on Buff'!

Have a Happy Monday! :rolleyes:

Well, if I have negative points today (I hate Mondays ), I won't be the only one! 5 of us picked Woody to be our starting pitchers. Two picked the Cubs while the other two both had the Yankees, a team not playing today.

My team was anemic last week. Hopefully, this week, I hope I can get on a roll so I catch you guys up top.

Most of us have Woody today - even Buffy! (You sneak - telling me last night you had something else! :p ) I guess my Woody's out of the bag, and everyone wants him!

HH is apparently taking the day off, with no PS and only 1 batter. Still, if Woody goes limp, he could still gain on me since I only have 2 batters...

Ha! The way I saw it, there were only 2 decent picks today (Yeah DB, Im starting to hate Mondays for many reasons too!)

But JG, you BELIEVED me when I said I was taking Milwaukee??? Hmm, you must've been drunker than I thought. (Must remember JG's gullibility and exploit to win at Fantasy Baseball! )

Hope all the guys talking about their Wood this weekend did not wear it out. I picked Woody today; thought he'd like to respond to a woman for a change and make some mondo points.

Woody... Woody... Woody... What have I ever done for you to treat me so disrespectfully? Why didn't you tell me you had the flu? :rolleyes:

3 runs in the first inning!!

Okay, my Woody has settled down. It's 4-4 top of the 9th. For some reason, the live stats aren't coming into ESPN's site so after this game is over I'll calcuate the Cards PS via the box score... if I have to.

Edit: Sonofabitch!! Some jerkoff Red hit a homer bottom of the 9th to win it. My two offensive players -- who happen to be the 2 best hitters in all of baseball -- gave me a whole point between them.

2nd Edit: Great. Looks like a whole 8 pts for Cards PS. Plus 2 for my offense, is a good ol' 10! Better than last week!

Why'd I think this Monday would be different?

Watch out everyone... I scored positive numbers yesterday! 10 big points! I'm in a zone now.

My team can't be stopped! They can't even be contained.

Now back to the reality of fifth place...

Yeah you guys always bragging about your "10" - which by the way JG - I dont want to have to mention this - but your 10 last night shrank down to an 8 this morning

(I wont brag about my 27 since someone else here also got 27 )

OF COURSE! all the non-Yankee PS keepers took the Prior/Cubs. Duh! That was predictable. Props to Ole who took Baltimore - I will be curious as to that score later, I had this itch to take them but chickened out - just to be different, ya know?

Yeah, stupid mistake: I assumed they pitched 9 innings But, 8 pts is better than -8! I'm on a roll now!!

Today's PS's are fairly spread out this time:

1504 - PL - Marlins
1490 - LDV - Expos
1445 - JG - Yanks
1441 - UU - Cubs
1418 - DB - Giants
1377 - HH - Yanks
1310 - SC - Yanks
1204 - OA - Giants
1133 - BDD - Yanks

Yesterday was a dreadful day for all our PS's, all in negative numbers. Let's hope for a better day today (especially for Moose! )

I'm a little puzzled by PL's Marlins pick today, though! Hopefully it'll cost you, Mr First Place

Must've been a cold morning. :rolleyes:

Speaking of mornings, Good Morning to YOU, SC. Long time, no see!

Thanks JG for that recap. I am having a lazy morning this morning and couldn't be bothered to click that many times. You saved me.

Puzzled? Yeah that is putting it mildly.

I was more intrigued by UU's faith in Shawn Estes. Like I would have put all his eggs in my basket? Uh-uh. But my God - 30 points for the Cubs today!

Are you on your knees Pork? You best start praying, I think you'll be side to side with the Undertaker no more unless you have an unbelievable night! Me thinks you'll be cryin the blues....

So what else would be new? Notice I didn't make any stink of my (apparently very temporary) 3rd Place today

It's all in the Moose's hands!

BTW - Tomorrow's a tough one, too...

My faith was led more by my not being able to get to my computer yesterday

Maybe I should try that!!

Hmmm, apparently I've single-handedly destroyed the averages of Pujols and Edmonds, currently the two best hitters in all of baseball!

Funny I was actually thinking when I saw the 30 points what if he couldn't make the change and look what happens. Oh well I guess sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.

Of course after they dumped 18 points on me in the 9th inning last night there was no way I was keeping them again - shows how much I know.

Good LAWD!!!! Extra innings? I am dyin' hee-yah! Don't they know extra innings are good only if you are tied at um......ONE??? Duh!

If I somehow get to 10 total points tonight, I will be dancing with joy... :rolleyes:

12-9 Expos... 3 points... LDV... don't you know you're supposed to predict a pitchers duel, not a sluggers duel? (Oh shit, maybe I should've saved that dig until my game was successfully over ). Damn 1-0 Seattle in the third...

Hmmm - yes you should have. Hey I am sharing your PS tonight so you wanna go and screw your team up go right ahead - but don't be going and taking me and the others with you - you selfish SOB. Although I am sure our PS can get more than 3 lousy points though

Everyone's a comedian tonight :rolleyes: relishing in my pain.

But gee, this is ONE bad night for me. How many have YOU had Mister 9th place? And since we are in Week 6, you cant use that "I started a week and a half late" lame-o excuse

Ooooh, hand ME a mic now!

I know you ain't talking to me But you must be talking to me since I am the only one in ninth place. Go ahead have your fun cause the way it looks now you already fell out of first and within a day or two you might fall to third and fourth

Yet, I do feel bad for your pain tonight - so may I suggest something you can try. Go grab your American Idol 2 CD that you purchased last week, and crank that bad boy up - I am sure by the third track you will be feeling much better. :p Either that or the fact that your ears will probably be bleeding by now, at least you won't be thinking of your team.

Track 3 - Clay's version of On the Wings of Love....ahhhhhh, yes you are right, I do feel better now.

19 points so far is a little better than I had even hoped for. If I could reach the wine bottle from here, I could say I was sitting pretty in spite of my probably 3rd or 4th place showing.

When're you gonna catch up to me BDD so I dont have to constantly yell at you way back there???

Well, once again plaw is the only one to take advantage of the doubleheader. Man, I wish I would have caught that. The Braves look good on that one.

Not much trash talking from me today. I'm in fifth place- having a hard time moving up, not really moving down. My team is decidedly average.
