BDD - You really SHOULDN'T talk trash to JG or any others if you are not in. Fortunately, there is an easy way to remedy that.

Even if you get in late, I barely broke over 200 today (33 points with only 3 games in the league played? )so I'm sure you can lap me in just a few days.

Lap - as in passing me in score.

Don't be a Fantasy voyeur all your life. We all know what a sports nut you are.

I got 27 points today and, considering that 6 of my batters didn't play, I'm happy with that.

Just for the record, I got cocky before any "big" days. :p

I was nearly done signing up my team before I re-read this and understood the lap was as in scoring. I hate not accepting challenges but it is pretty late to join in now, although I gotta believe I could at least get 0 points like JGeoff did today :p

If it really is not too late, I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Of course with no realistic thought of winning it but at least hoping to maybe making a respectible run.

I believe most of the info is probably in the early part of this thread so I'll start there.

BDD - It's definitely not too late! It's been only 1 week out of 15 (just for the first half)... the second hafe scores start over, so there's no reason not to practice now! Get in there!

Damn it I had people from the Yanks, Twins, and Pirates on my team. All got 0's. I believe a few of my other players were also idle, so my score was a whopping 20something. That sucks! My dominance has worn off already one week in! Oh well, we have 150something games left! I'll tell you what, this makes the season interesting. Usually, I just read the box scores of my Yanks and only really pay attention in the playoffs. This fantasy league gives me a real reason to watch.

It's almost like having a bet placed on a Final Four team...

Respectable? Yeah, I make last place look downright noble. We ARE a highly respectable bunch.

I know you cant back down from a challenge. I expect to see a Big Daddy team there tomorrow...

How 'bout a side bet if you can successfully lap me by season's end?

Good morning. This is clearly not the thread to post the lyrics to "Subterranean Homesick Blues";
Maybe I'll start a new thread and post 'em there.

To see the standings with everyone in their correct order, you have to click on "Week 2 Only", then "Previous Week"

The scores and standings in proper order just seemed to have updated in the past half hour.

I'm not familiar with this particular site so I am not sure if that is the norm.....

Welcome to the Nor' Eastern Hot Rod!! I knew you couldn't back away from a challenge! Just remember that the faux points you made today? Just that. F-A-U-X. Your game starts tomorrow. Just remember you are behind me, right where you belong.

An impressive day for most. The "Pork" and plawrence - tied in points today. On second glance, I am not sure if plawrence shook with me on that cyber shake. God, I hope you like Olive Garden ....

Yeah, it's good to have fresh blood! Bwahahahaha!

I did pretty well today; but, of course, so did everyone else! Ahh well, once I "start playing" you'll all be getting the view of my tail end! :p

(waiting for tomorrow's jinx now!)

As the "token chick" here I appreciate that!!

Makes me glad I signed up - I got the view of your tail with BDD "behind" me. I gots the life.

So is this Dodger game gonna drag out all night?? I'd like to go to bed now.

An LDV sandwich!

Okaaaay! and on THAT note (and a Dodgers win), I can happily go to bed now.

Looks like the Yankees may get rained out today (*crosses fingers*).

Bite your tongue plawrence! You are really starting to get on my nerves.....

What a welcome. Actually I forgot until the mid afternoon that my team actually doesn't start till today - so that only puts me even further behind - ugggh. Everyone is in the 300 - 400 point range. And now with rain on the east coast some of my players probably won't even play today - so thank you everyone for ensuring that I will probably now be pissed off at some point every day now.

And I know LDV only threw the challenge my way because of past talks on fantasy football and the fact that she knew a newcomer would only cushion the distance between her and and last place. So don't feel too smug, although I am behind you now, once the scoring begins I will soon find my way on top Hey that didn't sound very good, did it? We still talking about fantasy 'baseball' now Well you know what I mean.

I don't believe I did that bad last night (and yes I know that the points don't count) but funny cause the guys I had that I was excited to have on my team did nothing and the guys I kind of threw in there got me some decent numbers. Oh it is going to be a long season for me - I can see it now. :rolleyes: What did I get myself into?

Yeah, I'm a shrewd one allright.

When it is over, and after I push you off of me, then I challenge you to a poker game and if THAT doesn't work, no harm in arm wrestling. If that doesn't work, I am POSITIVE I could beat you in a 5K foot race. And by that time, we will be at football season. The only time I ever get any rest is the month of February. The shortest month of the year, go figure.

I will crush you.

Plawrence - STILL on my nerves.

40 points on the Cubs? On a 3-0 win? 40 points!!?? And the rest of his players haven't even played yet!

Ay Caramba. I am completely stunned and speechless.

SC - are we still breaking thumbs in this place???

40 pts... damn! A 4-hitter with 12 K's will do that. Nice pick, PL!

I got a whopping 12 after cursing the Royals by picking them. How the hell did Detroit score 6 runs off them?

yeah, i picked the cubies too. No runs today and only one 1 yesterday when my boy Matt Clement(no, really he is my boy) was pitching. Hopefully I can keep ridin Matt's arm to the top of the standings! I guarentee 20 wins out of him this year- hes paid his dues. Off the record my bucos are in 1st place. Its still early but the 'burgh is ready to see the bonds curse end.

One of the hits should have been scored an error. Could have been 41 Pts. :p

I expect to have first place clinched by Memorial Day! BTW, How do you figure out your "magic number" in this thing?

Eleven hours, and no posts. I've either left everyone speechless, or I'm getting the silent treatment.

Oh, and LDV...breaking my thumbs won't help. I only use them for the spacebar. :p

Hey PW - there are posts but on the ESPN bulletin board - besides we didn't want to hear you crow

Come "awn" (as they say in Philly)...Flame me or something. Crowing, trash talking, barking, etc. is half the fun.

Ha - I agree and like I said check the ESPN bulletin board for the group.
