9 days to go

Uggghhhh... Exlax day tomorrow... Don't they know what I'm trying to do here??? :rolleyes:

You're in the "unpredictable" mode way too early, DB.

Mark my words.....

Hmmm... Well over the next nine days, here's how many games there are per day...

2-5: 2 (Exlax)
2-6: 12
2-7: 7
2-8: 8
2-9: 4 (Exlax)
2-10: 9
2-11: 9
2-12: 3 (Exlax)
2-13: 0 games - END OF FIRST HALF

So, I got 3 Exlax days in the next eight. On average, plus or minus 5 point shift on those days. Say all of them went in my favor. I cut 15 points into your hundred point lead. That means I got 85 points to make up in 5 other days. That's 17 points per day - which I think is a lot, for an average. I can't waste my time picking the same players as you. It's great that I got 153 last night... but so did you! Does nothing for me! :rolleyes:

It goes without saying though that I'm not going to be unpredictable to my detriment. I have to be smart about it. It might end up that I outsmart myself, but that's the chance I have to take.

OK. I'm through trying to help you out. You don't appreciate my help, anyway.
:p :rolleyes:

No, you've been very helpful helping me think through my strategy... The next nine days will be fun! :p

My pleasure :rolleyes:


Yeah, right. All the pressure is on me. If I keep on making the "safe" picks, and I lose, I can always whine that you got lucky.

Or, I can make a few unpredictable picks also, and hope that they're the same as yours.

Then you, seeing that I'm picking unpedictably, might go back to being predictable.

Then I, seeing that you are predictable again....

Now you know how I was feeling the last few weeks of baseball...

Day One down...

Who asked you?

8 days to go

Looks like the battle for first and the battle for third are gonna go right down to the wire.

What excitement!

And here's a scary stat:

Combined second half baseball & basketball so far:

DB 14,437
PL 14,390

Morning of Jan 31

PL 13,726
DB 13,723

I think plaw's getting a little testy there, JG! :p

Me? Testy? Never happen.

This is just a game. I don't care if I win or lose. I'm in it strictly for the fun and enjoyment of the competition and the interaction with my fantasy pals.

I would never let it bother me or upset me.

Sure, I know that everyone is against me. That everyone wants to see me lose. But hey, that's all in good fun. Doesn't bother me in the least.

Not a bit. Not a single damn bit. Not a c**k s**king mother f**kng bit. I don't give a flying f**k where I finish, or even if I finish.
I f**king hate this f**cking game, and Carlos Boozer, and Shaq, and all those overpaid, illiterate, fathering-children-out-of-wedlock a**holes who didn't play when I picked them, can get in a circle and s**k each others big fat d**ks.

But I would never get testy over this.

Hilarious!

I'm trying to set my team for tomorrow... You know... it's hard to be unpredictable!

So I amuse you? You think I'm funny? Funny how? Funny like a clown?

Shaq is a bitch.

Turn that frown upside down. :p The Sixers won, that's what matters. :p -Pat

Ray Allen is a punk, plain and simple.

You're lucky you got what you did. He was around zero at the half. And my Allen missed his last four shots.

Interesting team you have today, DB.

I have a comment or two, but I'll save them for next Friday.

Next Friday??? I would have forgotten what we were talking about by then!

C'mon... Did I screw up and pick someone who isn't playing??

Rest easy; As far as I know they're all playing.

I was just wondering about....

No, never mind. No strategy tips this late in the game. We'll talk next Friday. If you don't remember, I'll remind you. :p

I'm here!

Man, when I mess up, I mess up royally... 79 points???

I thought I was pissed when I saw that Lamar Odom didn't play at all... but I bet Crabby (and SPike) are more pissed, with THREE non-players! And DB and PL and FS with 2.... 4 for Patrick... WTF? Am I dreaming, is the site screwed up, or did I just luck out??

For the last two days, they've had problems updating the "games in progress" scores for some players.

You can always check by clicking on the NBA scoreboard for a game in p[rogress box score.

Speaking of guys not playing, you have Brad Miller today . I know he's not playing...Sacre-Tomato is off.

Glad to say you're paying close attention to your epic battle for third place.

SLAMMMM!!!

That was just the sound of plaw closing the door on me.

Anyway, can't lose hope. Who knows... Plaw's players might be ejected in the first quarter! :p
