Just an observation, but am I having a case of deja vu from yesterday?

Does everyone come out of the woodwork to homer in a double header? 5 so far and it is only the 5th inning.

Oh, only one from the Mets.

Nooooo, it's my intention to get the voyeurs into the damn game.

One homer so far for the Mutts, but it's By My Gy Ty

The pitcher should've been out of the inning, but the fielding error caused him to continue. It's not the pitchers fault (well, unless he caused the error himself), so why should he be penalized with a higher ERA?

I don't think you necessarily need 2 outs to get unearned runs, either.

What I DO hate, a lot, I probaby mentioned already. I forget. But how a starter can leave the 8th inning with like a 10-2 lead, clearly winning the game. Then the releavers come in and give up 8 runs, tieing the game. The team wins anyway, and the same reliever who gave up those 8 runs ends up being the winner of the game. WTF is that bullshit? Happend to Mo Rivera last week. Total bullshit, IMHO.

And damn you, PL, for having over 40 pts already with a negative PS score for game one... argh! At least I have Sexson though ... :p

Yeah, he should have been out of the inning, but all that subsequent offense was still his fault. Those same guys still would have batted in the next inning, so in effect, their contribution is being negated, at least as it applies to the pitcher's ERA, simply because it came after an error.

Of course your right about not needing two outs for an unearned run. The first batter can reach on an error, and whenever he scores, rgardless of the number of outs, the run will be unearned. i just used the two out example to illustrate what I think is the stupidity of the rule.

Nice to have all this offense today. I need it to keep up with the Mutts pitching.

No kidding... 4 more runs in the 1st inning of the 2nd game Glad I didn't take part in the double-header... my only regret was not getting more of the offensive (wow, double meaning there ) players

My Gy Ty. A one man gang. 22 points already.

Of course, he's off my team tomorrow.

So're all these worthless Mutts on my roster :rolleyes:

Wow, a pretty good day for everyone! (See first post of this page)

BD moved up 2 spaces to #6 - a contender in the second half, no doubt

JJ - What happened, you got 2 extra points somehow

And go figure, no curses... except pour DB, with the Curse of Plaw killing his PS!

I am now convinced plawrence has sold his soul to the devil.

You kiddin' or sumptin? Plawrence has the devil as his 3rd base coach.

I briefly considered that idea at the start of the season, but decided instead to save my soul and make a deal for the Nets in the NBA Finals.

Don't you SEE the tail growing out of MY BACK?

And what are you whining about? You're making progress this week.

Man, am I lucky to get 65 offensive points to offset my negative point pitching staff. Two days in a row I've screwed myself with these doubleheaders...

Thank God no more rainouts. All these double headers did for the top 3 is advance us all up the same since we pretty much had the same players and PS.

And today? Was there a blue light special on Giants? At least it will come down to making some points off offense. Although Pork and I still share same players. :rolleyes:

On second thought? plawrence IS the devil.

Yea, thank God! You forget to mention, Buffy, that the rainouts further distanced the top 3 from me in fourth place. Four straight games of negative pitching staff points! Un-freaking-believable! :rolleyes:

Um, that's a BAD thing, right? Oh I don't ever cross you off my list as a contender. I can remember doing the one-step-forward-two-steps-back dance with you for a long time.

But the top 4 isn't gonna see a whole lot of change in scenery if we all keep picking the same PS UNLESS we have players who are gonna play offense like those did in the 2 days of double headers!!

Now, on a serious note. The weekend is approaching. You all know what that means - I gotta work to fight off the decline potential. Buffy's going out tonight and will NOT be home in time for the deadline so hopefully no rainouts/major injuries or changes after 6 pm or so.

Man, am I glad that the Cubs-Yanks game is underway. I have four offensive players in that game.

Yeah... and damn, I was hoping for a double-header tomorrow!

And of course you have Giambi - he just hit a 2-run HR :rolleyes: :p

I am SURE you were Pork Chop!!

As long as they would've announced it before I went out for the night

I see you trying to get in front of me This weekend I am gonna stay alert and on top of my game!

No, no more doubleheaders! Please!

Yea, I'm following the game through the ESPN Game Update. Right before it happened, Giambi had an 0-2 count and I wondered, "Wouldn't it be great if he hit a 2-run home run right now?!" But it's not like I'm prophetic or anything- I think that before any of my player's at bats.

Actually I was hoping they'd announce it after you went out I was already checking out some roster posibilities

I'm watching it on TV. Just for you, I'm gonna quickly make voodoo dolls of Giambi, Sori, Corey, and Karros and start poking them with pins! :p

Watch it with Eric, Pork. You know I love that guy. I wanna work some voodoo of my own on him.

You'd rather me hex Corey? I'd love to put him on the DL so y'all have to get him off your rosters! You can play with Karros all you want, though, Buff...

No, the Curse of Pork is only real when I suffer from it, too!

No, the Curse of Pork is only real when I suffer from it, too! [/b][/quote]

Well, Karros got a single to my team's (and apparently Buffy's) delight. Too bad the Cubs stink at putting together a rally.

Damn, it's not working - Sori just got a hit, too ... now Giambi's up again...

Ha! Well that is Karro's HIT for the year. He's done. Hey, I never said he was gooooooood!

Karros, Mussina, Matheny, Zeile. A few of the world's most perfect men

DB, are you "watching" the game at work? Me too! It's only 3:20 here so I gotta ways to go.
