I'm sure you already thought of this JG, but with you holding onto second place, and assuming you've given up on catching Plaw for first, you can do a tremendous amount of dee-fense by just picking her players!

I'm not sure what Randall Simon was thinking but he's in trouble. It was the lead story in all the newscasts here. The sausage race is a Milwaukee staple and people even bet on the race. I knew he swung at anything, but not EVERYTHING!

Yeah, but her players suck (oops, just jinxed myself yet again! )

Maybe he should have stuck with choking a chicken. That'll only leave you blind.

I guess with the amount of whining Buffy's been spitting out lately about her Offensive Points, maybe they do! Pick her pitching staff I say! Since Buffy and I have been thinking the same lately, I would bet fake money that she picked Red Sox or the A's for the next three days.

Damn Daubach double-play... ahh well... 22 pts isn't too bad for being shutout... But by Detroit??

Thursday

PL 4562 Athletics (25) 53
JG 4388 ChiSox (22) 64
LD 4372 ChiSox (22) 49
DB 4086 ChiSox (22) 65
BD 3948 ChiSox (22) 41
UU 3814 Dodgers (7) 28
SC 3667 ChiSox (22) 48
OA 3637 Indians (27) 52
HH 3591 Yankees (11) 40
JJ 1775 Braves (27) 57
BE 0929 Athletics (25) 48
FS 0929 Yankees (11) 42

Damn - they pitch a 1 run game - and lose. Not that it makes much of a difference since we all sink or swim together in this one - but ... And the ChiSox had guys on 1st and 3rd with one out in the 9th too - just a sac fly and we could have had extra innings.

I know PL had a hand in that game somehow

You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out...
----------------------------
3 and 1/2 days to go

Thanks for letting me ride your coattails with the A's plaw. You do your victory dance, while I do my vodoo on the Yankees for tonight. I don't want to come back Sunday and see me back down with the roach collectors.


They play Toronto this weekend, so:
Go TORONTO:

Yankmes
Yankmes

How hokey :p

Man, all the girls go away (well, the two anyway) and all conversation stop! I think that's peace and quiet I hear! :p

Friday

[ ESPN stats aren't updated, and I don't feel like doing the math... --JG ]

How shocking!

Man, I was gonna go w/ Moyer today, too, but was short on $$. Buff has Seattle tomorrow... hmm...

Hey don't worry my friend I am around but just got done with meetings. So all the woman are away and JGeoff, yourself and I are all left with Woody today - somehow that doesn't seem right.

I think Buffy left a curse on me - all my offensive players either don't play or when then do they don't score.

Hopefully the next half will be different - have I mentioned I started this 10 games late ..... :p

Trash Talk is at an all time low!
and Bethie is 6 points a head of me.

Three days to go, now what should I do?
Stay with the yanks or hummmmm?

hummmmmm

hummmmmm [/b][/quote]Yea, I heard their pitching staff was great- next to Woody that is.

So much for my prognosticating skills... :rolleyes:

Good thing I bet fake money!

Or maybe she just picked the wrong pitching staff over a span of 3 days...

By the way your bookie called- Pay up or

I would have preferred "Pay up or !"

So, FS... I see you are making friends in the symbolism thread... :p

sorry the bay is closed today!

I'm out of work early today - so all you kids have a good weekend.

FS and BB - looks like it is gonna come down to the wire. Last one left in the basement has to clean it up for the next half. Good luck to both.

JG and Buffy - still a tight battle for 2nd and 3rd with three games to go - nothing on the line except for bragging rights and today you two have pretty different rosters - could be interesting.

DB - I concede 4th place to you. Actually I did it last week when I didn't break 200 - just didn't want to tell you - you know keep you on your toes. Although I will remind you that I did start 10 games late :p - have I ever mentioned that before ?

And finally - you can start dancing now, matter of fact you can dance for nearly a week but remember we are only half over. For your victory dance though you should do the "Mummers Strut" - if you don't know how I am sure with your GF can teach you - kind of a local thing.

Hey with all the girls gone - we should hit a shaker bar or something.

Have a good weekend all.

2 homers for Sosa so far!

Edit: Just checked... You might be in for some trouble JG. Buffy had Sammy.

Well, that figures... :rolleyes:

DAMMIT! I KNEW IT!

As soon as I saw ESPN display this:

I knew it was all over. Damn ESPN jinxing our shit!!! Now it's 2-1 SD in the 6th on a walk and a homer. ARGH!

I hear you, I was hoping for a big night from him, since my offense continues to suffer from the Buffy Curse - so this whole time maybe it was the curse of ESPN - huh. :p

You put you're right foot in
And you shake it all about
-----------------------------
2 days plus a few odd innings to go

Where, oh Where are the scores gone oh where, oh where can they be! 9:00am and no scores?

Hey PL - you might want to let JGeoff and Buffy know when it's time to put your 'backside' in - I think they might want to wearing a certain pair of shoes.

Good to hear you made it back safely - hope it was a good vacation.

I don't know what the final scores from yesterday were but here are the PS:

Saturday

PL Pedro (34) 74
JG Pedro (34) 62
LD Pedro (34) 57
DB Pedro (34) 69
BD Pedro (34) 59
UU Dodgers (11) 23
SC Pedro (34) 43
OA Royals (19) 58
HH Yankees (-12) 10
JJ A's (26) 42
BE White Sox (24)+(10) 76
FS Yankees (-12) 4

6 of us took Pedro against Detroit in what must be the biggest no brainer all year! Now watch the Tigers win 8 - 0! :rolleyes:
