Originally posted by plawrence: I will go on record now as saying I do not have good feelings about the BoSox PS today. Lowe has been putrid on the road. (Edit: Forecast in Pittsburgh call for scattered thunderstorms) I agree. I originally picked Pitts (I pick my PS first, then fill up my roster with the $ I have left). But after I saw I had 4 BoSox and 1 Pitts player, I figured I should switch. We'll see...  (And yes, before the double-header, I was all set with Nomo, too) And yeah, while I do like being atop Buffy, I figured I'd take a break again

I, too, had my lineup set before I found out about the doubleheader. I had the Florida PS. If the DH doesn't work out, you'll be reading this post tomorrow in quotes when I cry. I liked the Pittsburgh PS better today, but I couldn't find enough offense with the Pirates. How can you pick one teams's PS, and then take the other team's offense? And Beth...What should I call you if not a lady?

I usually make it a rule NEVER to do this very thing. Maybe I am just too superstitious but maybe there is a bit of logic in if you own a heavy hitter against your PS and your PS really blows it, you may get the points anyway from offense. It seems like it would be a wash to me so I never set out to do it - but I guess it could be considered "insurance" - better a wash than negative points? You know me, once I get my mind set on something, I usually go for it, all OUT and all IN! :p

I believe in almost any case, it is almost a wash if someone in your lineup hits against your PS. I'm sure you all did the math, but here goes (this assumes no one else is on base): Single: 1 base for offense; -1 for PS = 0 Double: 2 bases for O; -1 for PS= 1 Triple: 3 bases for O; -1 for PS=2 Homerun= 4 bases, 1 RBI, 1 Run for O; -3 for ER, -1 Hit= 2 points I guess 2 points is better than nothing.

Originally posted by Don Sicilia: I guess 2 points is better than nothing. Of course it is  But of course, too, the more runs against the PS, the greater the chance the PS will lose. I sometimes have a hitter against my PS (like today), and hope for extra-base hits, but no RBIs or runs scored from that player...

Beth...
You're a sexy beast from Baltimore And I'll tell you your one minor flaw: (Even though Geoff has said "Don't pollute this thread") The same birthday as the 'ex' of P. Law.
(Admittedly, far from my best effort.)

(Admittedly, far from my best effort.) Much, much better. If my only minor flaw is your ex's bday I think I can live with that. The again..you don't know me hahaha. Don't worry about Geoff. I'll wait till he's drunk and shake my pom poms. He'll forget all about polluting his thread.

Wednesday (unofficial finals) PL 2820 BoSox (14)+(18) 90 2910LD 2618 BoSox (14)+(18) 86 2704JG 2596 BoSox (14)+(18) 93 2689DB 2548 Pitts (-16)+(-9) 10 2558UU 2451 LA (22) 45 2496OA 2316 Pitts (-16)+(-9) -10 2306HH 2268 Yanks (4) 37 2305BD 2247 San Fran (22) 55 2302SC 2170 Seattle (24) 64 2234JJ 0195 Seattle (24) 43 0238 < not 44?! (BoSox/Pitts double-header) Wow, I've never seen such offense by a team before, like Boston tonight. Woohoo!  BTW - The game isn't reporting Boston's PS scores correctly, so I've calculated them myself.

Just got back from PNC- or should I say the Boston Marathon. I think everyone on their roster got to round the bases tonight. Prolly cuz they pretty much had a home game tonight (u no its bad when the whole stadium in the burgh is chanting "Yankees Suck")
Is any1 herr from Boston. Whos the backup outfielder named Jackson- hes the frickin man. I sat right on the 3rd base line toward the corner so I's right over the left fielders. WE gave so Manny so much hell and he just stood ther w/ his hands on his nees & never even looked up once. Then they put this Jackson guy in for the last inning and he was sweet. he looked up and laughed at our insults & said shit to us- made our trash talking way more fun. The best though was when the pirates werr down to therr last out he turned to us and turned his hat inside out indicating the "rally cap" -- i thought it was hilarious. It showed me how much more fun the young no-name was having than the multi-millinaire
I put my faith in the bucos pitching today...and...well...i came up with -25 but thats aight- it was another good night at the park- i also have a newfound hatred for NewEnglanders(not really if u are 1)although the Pirate organization prolly loves em---beer sells tripled today.
One Love
