Sorry Guys, I am just leaving for Canada and will be gone all day and night. JUst wanted to check in and see whos whining! and trash talking!

PEE Lawrence is still trying to spin that crap about the OVERALL WIN I see. Poor old Guy is falling down hill fast!

A-Rod Does suck at the moment just like suckie Samma Sosa

I hope you don't put all your eggs in one basket. At least most are with the same PS.
Have agreat day and keep up the trash talk!

I see I made more movement to get on top of BuffY last night, only 16 more to go!

Have a nice trip.

Don't get hit by any hockey pucks. :rolleyes:

Shins? SHINS? Um, yeah, well allright. Shins.

DO IT TOMORROW!!! "Buffy says hello..."

So I see everyone was up late last night talking about their palms. Sorry I missed it. Not that I would have had a lot on hand to contribute

It will be a full weekend...I hope to be 2-0 in football tomorrow. Even though plaw "doesn't care" about fantasy football...could I get a more interested opponent? Maybe next week, huh Big Daddy??

It's not that I don't care. Maybe I'll get into it more after baseball is over.

Right now, what I am most concerned with is my overall lead and holding off JG.

And BTW, it's raining like mad here right now.

Raining like mad... I hope the rain doesn't come too early... :p

By the way, Bears tickets on sale starting at 12 PM Chicago time. Come get 'em now!

It's not raining here at all. Maybe they should come here to play at our minor league stadium?

Rain. I knew I shouldn't have picked a NY team the day TIS and SB come into town!

Saturday

DB 2873 LA ()
JG 2825 NYY (7)+(19) 47+
PL 2731 NYY (7)+(19) 76+
BD 2704 LA ()
LD 2658 NYY (7)+(19) 77+
FS 2525 NYY (7)+(19) 63+
SC 2447 NYY (7)+(19) 59+
JJ. 2273 Seattle ()
OA 2247 Toronto (19) 47+ (17 pts for Sexson)

For those interested ( PL ), here are the overall standings:

PL 7506 (started 1 day late)
JG 7441
LD 7252 (started 2 days late)
DB 7198 (started 1 day late)
BD 6838 (started 10 days late)
SC 6278 (started 1 day late)
OA 6103 (started 8 days late)
JJ 4261 (started 8+ weeks late)
FS 3596 (started 10+ weeks late)

By way of explanation, it's not for myself that I keep making a big deal about the overall standings. It's really for the benefit of JG.

Remember the strike-shortened 1981 baseball season? They missed about two months, and wound up dividing the season into two "halves". The winners of each division for each half met in a playoff series, and the winners went on to play for the pennant.

Well, what happened was, in the National League, both St. Louis and Cincinnati finished with the best overall records, but failed to make the playoffs because they didn't finish first in either half.

Wouldn't it be a shame if JG wound up finishing second in both halves, but overall had the most points and was unable to lay claim to "officially" winning anything?

I'm looking out for JG, that's all.

Keep on back-peddling there, buddy! You got scared that I've gotten so close, huh? I think if I go back to old posts you were talking about overall combined scores... unless you deleted those posts now :p

Jeez, just trying to look out for the guy, and this is the thanks that I get.. :rolleyes:

So lemme ask ya, JG:

Would you rather win the second half, but finish second in overall points, or

Would you rather finish first in overall points, but not win either half?

And, no, you may not answer "both"

That's a tough one. Seems I lose either way! If I had to choose... I'd rather win the second half (cuz that couldn't be taken away from me) than overall. Overall is fairly meaningless, cuz it's two different games, and people started at different times. It's harder to win when people don't start 10 days late. :p

Now if I could only shake this douche...!

NYY/TB Double-Header

Saturday

DB - none
JG NYY - Posada, Nick, Sori, Rolls, DJ, Matsui, Huff
PL NYY - Posada, Giambi, Sori, Rolls, DJ, Craw, Bernie, Huff
BD - none
LD NYY - Posada, Giambi, Marlon, Rolls, DJ, Matsui, Bernie, Huff
FS NYY - Giambi, DJ, Matsui, Huff
SC NYY - no offense
JJ. - Bernie
OA - Baldelli

P.P.P.S. Weaver is a bitch.

It's all in the way you apply it, JG... not that I would know.

By the way, things looking mighty interesting in the first game...

Also, a question for the baseball experts...

When does an error affect a scored run being earned vs. unearned? I know all runs scored after a two-out error are generally unearned. How about when there are less than two outs?

I'd say if the run wouldn't have scored except for the error, then it'd be unearned.

Bernie Williams just homered...

Also, notables not playing in Game 1... Posada, Rolls

Of course Bernie hits a homer... now I'm waiting for Giambi to do this same thing... since I didn't take either one!! (Gonna be a looooong day!)

And while I'm at it, why isn't that wimp Rolls playing both games?

As for Posada, you can't expect the catcher to play both games, so that was a given...

Strange mangerial move by Torre...

They bring in Jeff Nelson who faces one batter, Al Martin who is issued an intentional walk. They then take out Nelson to bring in another reliever.

Another observation... the Devil Rays stink with runners in scoring position.

Make it two homers. :p

"Burn Bernie, Burn" (John Sterling)

[Super-Sized Mega Whine Alert]

I hate this game. Not only did I miss Bernie's TWO homers (I was in the car, turned the radio on, heard it, put a CD in)...

...I was also this >.< close to taking Sierra... WTF?! AND the topper... MATSUI GOT HURT?!?!!

What a fucking disaster.

I don't deserve second place, let alone first place. I may not play next year.

W-T-F?? I pick a p.s. that wins the game and I get NO POINTS??!?

The Yankees suck!

This game sucks!!

While you are right that the Yankees suck, according to the box score, I calculated 7 pts for the first game. Obviously the game site has yet another glitch cuz it only shows 8 IP...

Notables not playing in the second game... Nick Johnson, Soriano

You lookin' for a slap? :p AT LEAST Matsui is playing... for my pathetic roster...

FUCK GIAMBI!!! DAMMIT!!!!

Giambi and Bernie were in horrible slumps until I DON'T PICK THEM??

Clean up Third for me Plaw... I'm moving in... :rolleyes:

Just got home and I see you all are in full bloom!
By the way Canada is hurting alot more then the USA.

Opps better go and pick a PS and players for tommorrow!

Wheeeww... That was a relief.

Missing that doubleheader didn't cost me as much as I thought.

Buffy, your Kevin Brown saved my butt today!
