Wow, it is getting to sound more like America Idle around here then Baseball-I can hear Bando Now- I could have been a contender- I could have been champ if I would have picked the right pitching staff and then Poor Fredo coming back- I'm not as dumb as everyone thinks- I'm smart you know. I was always looking for double headers!

How does this 2nd half start.

Do we start with the teams we already have? With the same price that we have them for?
Just the points go back to zero or do we have to pick a whole new team with new values?

Hey the Chicago - Florida started at least. Hopefully the weather holds up. Hey DB what's it like out there now??

It's starts over from scratch: 0 points, no roster. It's considered a new game...

The sun is actually peaking out. If it wasn't so cloudy, I would say today is a nice day- not real humid, cool, some sun- Nice weather for a ball game. I don't know how long it will hold up though.

Looks like a rain delay in the Chicago - Florida game but looks like they got enough to count as an official game - but with a 0-0 score - what happens - do the stats count?

Looking outside, it's pretty ugly out there. All the sun I saw earlier- all gone.

Looks like the Chicago - Florida game is back and Florida has a two run lead in the 7th now. Back to Back HRs.

Douche-Man!! I thought your prediction of Sammy hitting 2 homers was gonna come true...it came down to the last AB!!

And MY guy went 0-5.....gee thanks for the jinx, Pork

Well, THAT fiasco is over.

GO AZ!!

Yea, it would have been nice if it came true. :rolleyes: Two men were on base at the time- the Cubs would have won and a nice eight point homer from Sosa.

Well, they gave it a run.

Go A's!

Whew. Well, not too bad. 19 pts. Could've been worse. Bastid Looper!

Dag, now I gotta root for Tampa Bay and Colorado?

Okay... The ANTI-Curse might work (since my straight curse doesn't )!!

)

Well... one of the anti-curses worked... I guess I can't mix'em up like that

Come one, 1 lousy point between me and fathersson. They couldn't be generous? The voodoo on the Yankmes worked yesterday, so let's try it again.

Go INDIANS!
Yankmes

No way....."Basement Bethie" has too nice of a ring to it.

While nice things do happen in basements, everyone needs some fresh air once in awhile. Besides, after All Star break I'm sure I'll be right back there. Let me leave here with SOME bragging rights. Ok, so beating a guy that's not playing isn't all that great, but I'll take anything I can get.

Thanks a lot JG... :rolleyes:

I agree - thanks JG

Can you do it again today for the ChiSox ? It's a streatch, but I am still trying to catch DB.

Them's fightin' words.

What a fiasco. I always "experiment" with a roster during the daytime (when I have fast internet ) then tweak late, late at night. I didn't get a chance to tweak last night and woke up this morning with the ultimate scrub team. What WAS I thinking? I might have been thinking Loaiza was pitching. Sorry DB, but I am wondering why I picked the Wsox, haha. But my offense? No rhyme or reason - who ARE these people?

But - maybe this haphazard way of picking is better. I sure as hell haven't been doing well offensively PUTTING THOUGHT INTO my players!

Pork: I hear you knockin', but you can't come in...

-17 from the A's PS. And I was gonna take the first couple of steps of my victory dance today.

Let's see now...145 point lead, 5 days to go, Buffy needs to average a 29 point gain each day...gonna be tough to catch me, but I ain't dancin' yet.
------------------------
5 days to go

I picked the White Sox because Colon was pitching. I figure he pitches a complete game every third or fourth game- so I figure he's due.

Zito choked, sorry PL - I couldn't help but giggle like a schoolgirl thinking about you last night.

Wow, that didn't sound too good!

You know what I mean - I revelled in it!

Yes, Colon. He IS very good. However, last time I took him....OUCH!! Guess I have not healed well since then.

But the least popular pick is sometimes the good one. Stick with me DB - we'll leave these suckers in the dust!

And this morning is different from other mornings - how ?

But I bet your are practicing under the moonlight with the sound of the ocean nearby though.

Colon stinks :rolleyes:

Ummm... what am I, a can of peas on a Ritz cracker? :p

What a LOADED question!

But the honest answer is you are 20 points behind me, 165 behind PL.

Chopped liver by any other name is Pork. Reeks just the same.

BD wasn't paying attention I guess. I wanted Bastista, too, until I read this:

NEWS: July 8
SKINNY: Batista's next start for the Diamondbacks could be slipped from Wednesday night against the Padres to Friday night against the Giants, according to notes on the team web site.

And yup, it's true...

"Starting for the Diamondbacks is rookie Chris Capuano (0-2, 10.13 ERA), who is making his second major league start and fourth appearance."

Hey, ya never know... rookies often pull out a good game... And SD's Peavy isn't that great against the D-Backs...

Hmmmmm - I knew that. I was looking for someone with a double figure ERA today - at times I like to tempt fate.

A wonder why I hate this game so .... maybe it will rain

Bad Daddy - hate to break it to you but it never rains in Arizona. Well, it RAINS in Arizona, but not in the enclosed stadium

EDIT: Shit, that series is over isn't it? Ok, I COULD delete my post and save face - OR just prove to the masses that yes, indeed I am a real blonde and perpetually

AZ is home
