No Picnic, this. It's a French keyboard; the A and Q are reversed, the commas, periods, quotation marks etc are all over the place, the number keys are upper case...friggin pain

9 days to go

hey PL, I think I hear your girlfriend callin' you...and she DOESN'T sound happy!

Go ahead, take a vacation. We'll wait for you!

Go whoooooooooooo Geoff???? 9-0 Birds in the 6th. You did have an orange next to Toronto, so maybe the curse thought you were hexing the Blue Jays. Aye, I can't be too rough on you. You're too cute when you try to be mean.

Well, look who's in last place. Clue, it's not ME. I think someone...cough, cough, BAD DADDY, cough, sniff.....owes me an apology. :p

Beth, poor Beth letting someone get under your skin over this? Oh My, some hunger for that trash talk, no wonder baseball is in so much trouble!

I'm not as cocky as some, but I'm working on it. Join in the fun fathersson!!!

SHIT, Buffy!! We both posted the lineup, and both deleted it!! All that work - haha

I thought you were not around!! Just tryin' to help a guy out.

So - proof we think TOO much alike.

Like in the instance of sharing FOUR offensive players today? Thank God we have different pitching staffs!! We have to quit with this 2-4-6-8- point dance that we do!

OAKLAND
KC

That oughtta do it!

What did I do to get involved in this hex of yours. Bad enough I got the Bad Daddy curse again. Now buffy is working her magic on me. I guess after today I'll get reacquainted with my perch from the bottom of the heap.

This week, by far, must be our group's worst week ever- collectively. Exhibit A: The only one with a remote chance of passing 300 points is Rip Van Winkle himself, SC.

Sorry if I made you guys look bad this week.

I probably won't get to 300, though. The Phillies' p.s. (my pick today) is getting hit early.

I'm hoping to pass 200 :rolleyes:

I hope you make 300 this week, SC! That means the Philly PS recovered and did well. Oh did I mention I picked Philly also!

Can I just say this has GOT to be my worst day ever all season? Only 4 pm here and all my guys are done. Spent. Gone home. 'Cept for one. Guess I will end the week in 3rd unless Alex from AZ can have phenomonal day against Nomo.... :rolleyes:

7 Oh-ffensive points. Unfreakinbelievable!

Yeah, she's calling me...away from looking at topless women of all ages in thongs
---------------------------------------------
7 days to go

Oh, BOO-HOO!! You still ended up with over 35 for the day! Try ANOTHER 8 pt PS today ( :rolleyes: ), for a whopping 19 pts total to leave me with freakin' 199 for the WEEK!! So please, stop your crying! :p YOUR bullSHITpen didn't give up 4 in the last 2 innings...

I can't pick'm to save my life this week. I'm always a day early or a day late. One week to go. Difficult, and impossible.

I hope the ratio of those under 40 to those over 80 is good

I hear you. I just got in and saw this and thought maybe her PS scratched out with a 0 today for a total of 7 points but 35 and she is crying the blues - yes we all feel your pain Buffy.

And Beth - first congrats on dragging yourself out of the benchment and seeing a bit of sunlight. Although I saw very little gloating on your part - you getting soft on us? And I will inform you there is no Bad Daddy Curse, the only curse is the Curse of Pork. That was evident today. I used to think it was only when Pork Chop and I choose the same PS - I thought maybe too much testosterone But I saw today that even without me - he still goes down in flames. And see we both had the same PS and we did OK - not great but a solid 19. Hopefully this will put to end any notion of a BD curse.

I am just glad this week is over though - uggh I could get nothing right - and what slim shot I had at 4th is pretty much gone.

Good thing, cuz she's back in the cellar after tonight

And Bethie, don't listen to Bad Daddy -- next to my Curse of Pork (which does exist, apparently) and Buffy's Voodoo, there's nothing stronger than the Bad Daddy Curse! Hmm, wait, come to think of it, Buffy's Voodoo is stronger: The Orange Hex!!

No gloating on my part? What part of, "someone, cough, cough, BAD DADDY, cough, sniff, owes me an apology" don't you call gloating? But as Geoff so bluntly pointed out after today I'm right down where I belong. That's ok, I got homesick. I missed talking to my friends who live underneath the basement

Not actively playing right now:
HH 74 pts
FS 59 pts
UU 47 pts
OA 43 pts
JJ 33 pts

Me? Who spends at least an hour/day looking at this stuff? 19 pts, the worst of everyone today!! Do I have to stop playing to have a good week? Oh wait, I was #1 for the week last week with 402 pts. This must be payback for something I did in a past life or something...

OR, maybe it's Buffy's oranges! Yeah, that's it! Her pair of oranges distract me so much that I choke under the pressure!

Bethie, where're your pom-poms? Can you shake'm around a little while it's still the First Half of the game? Please?

Proof that you guys don't know how to handle your Woody? He did just fine with me!

Must be my pair of oranges that did it!

(thank God with only 9 OH-ffensive points! )

Well, finally you admit it!!

Monday's picks

PL 4421 Red Sox
LD 4269 Braves
JG 4243 Red Sox
DB 3964 Braves
BD 3819 Braves
UU 3770 Dodgers
OA 3550 DNP
SC 3517 Braves
HH 3470 Yanks
JJ 1638 Braves
FS 844 Yanks
BE 818 Braves

Half of us picked The Braves to beat up on The Mets.

What, am I just here for you amusement???? I see, I'm not a ball player but I can shake my pom poms? I feel so cheap!

Cheap is Good
Don't feel bad Beth, Shaking one's Pom Poms is something that has gone on since the being of time. In fact Adam may have biten the apple but it was Eve's Pom Poms that caught his eye!

Geoff- Maybe you folks try to hard!
Relax- things will Come out in the end!

Congrats SC on winning week 14!

Just one week to go for the first half.

Here are some of the more interesting races (< 100 points)...

Race for 2nd place: 26 points between Buffy and Pork
Race for 7th place: 33 points between OA and SC
Race not to be in last place: 26 points between FS and Bethie

But they're great pom-poms! :p

Gosh DB, you act like we have conceded 1st place to the vacationing thong ogler PL!!...

But yes, we ain't foolin' anyone. The race for 2nd place is like watching a freakin' tennis match. Today should be interesting - Pork and I only share one offensive player and different pitching staffs. Somebody SHOULD make some points over the other one today!

But alas, I have a case of the Bad Daddy's today. Hope the strain of Curse of Pork is more lethal!
