It cost me by not missing it :rolleyes: Ahh well. How many days left, Plaw?

15 days to go.

And, Hey Everyone:

Did you know that JG is in a College Football pick 'em game, and didn't invite us to play?

My feelings are hurt...

College Pick'em I don't take seriously. It works differently (more points for underdogs) so ALL I do is pick the underdogs. I get maybe 3-5 correct/week but enough points to keep me hovering around 90%. (Last year I ended up at 99.92%).

I don't follow or watch college ball, it's just for ESPN Uber Points. If you click my name in the BBC Group, then click on "Uber Results", you'll see all the games I've played this year (and have played since 2000 - tho I started in 1997). (I've started many games late, so percentage points reflect that ).

In fact, Plaw, you played hoops Triple Double w/o telling us? Looks like I kicked your ass in that one (76% vs 97%) :p

All the live games are available to anyone here: http://games.espn.go.com/

Now... back to bidness: I hate this game.

News Flash- ESPN'S Fantasy Baseball Games Hates EVERYONE!

Now you can get over it, or start major medical insurance papers out for the rest of your life!

I never really played; I don't even remember what I did or what it was. Around playoff time, I think? I guess I picked a team, but never did anything after that. Never even looked at it, as a matter of fact.

Congrats FS on winning week 23! Second time in the last 3 weeks... Maybe you are getting those fun-da-men-tals down now... :p

Now, celebrate and go have some fun by yelling at alpacinofan some more! :p

Also, a congrats to Bad Daddy for winning Survivor football! He was in a zone this season, picking two, count 'em two, correct winners! Hey, that's two more than any of us!

Well Thanks for catching that and posting it.

In my best Brando Voice:

If I only could have caught those other Double Headers I could have been a contender! I could have been famous.


I also could have been on top of LDV by now!

I have learned alot more then I thought so far in this game. I still screw up and forget to check a few things now and then and then pay for it the next day, but so much is not anyones fault but pussy ball players and mother nature.

I think I would do beter next year, that is if I was playing next year!

I hope I do all right this week as things are getting close to the end! You guys are looking good up there on top.

You guys are SOOOOO missionary! :rolleyes:



Hey, I feel good today. I let a scrub who is not even playing beat me last week. :rolleyes:

Oh, the humanity!

Since I have still not collected on my bet (of course the welching and loopholes are already kicking in high gear) and since I have so far exceeded what was required for the bet - 3 times longer than what was required - just wondering what's the likelihood I can trade 'up' :p

I'm not welching on our bet....

I said before, if you can find a way to get your feet next to my lips, I will kiss, suck and otherwise lick furiously - (your feet, that is, as to satisfy our bet)

In the meantime, saving my money to buy dinner after this baseball season is over. But same priniciple, he would have to occupy the same space as me to make that happen.

so how bad do you guys want me to pay up? I am a good sport. I can't help it if geography comes into play.

However DoucheMan DID make good on his bet with that sincere and poignant ode to my wonderful Niners.

And I still have bets on fantasy football. Still fuzzy as to what is on the table Big Daddy. Perhaps you can kiss something of mine...

Now that was taking innuendo to a next level, huh FS?!

I had to read that a couple of times to come to your definition of "beat".

Now can we get back to business here... :p

ESPN game, again, screwed up. Calculated PS pts manually. Don't trust offensive pts as of yet.

Shit happens when you don't actively play for a week. I was actually gonna remove you from the daily list if it kept up... :p

No Prior? No Loaiza?

Wow... 7 players going with Pedro today... I guess it's up to the offenses today!

Hmmmm... maybe I should start playing

DEE-FENSE DEE-FENSE!

Let me see... who does Pork and Plaw have on their rosters???

You wonder how many in the whole Fantasy League have Pedro today! No wonder they pay him so much!

We'll find out later when they post the "% Owned" statistic...

Offense? NOW you tell me. Ugh, my offense is horrible today. My time was tight yesterday -I'm not really sure WHO I threw together!

I get the DT's when there are no afternoon games.

As they say in those old horror films:
I think it was The Night of the lLiving Dead:

Hunched over, hands reaching out,Dragging my foot as I walk:

LDV: I'm coming for you!

15 days left. Just a litle bit every day!

Um, yeah. Hindsight...

Just getting around to looking at everyone's roster. I can tell we have been playing this game WAY too long. Do you realize we pretty much all have the same players spread out among us. I mean, Sanders? Durazo? Cabrera? Alfonzo?

Some of us are getting better at picking the gems. We used to see alot of lineups with Bonds, Sosa, Jeter and Gonzo. THAT got old fast.

Congrats to Pork and anyone else who had Lieberthal. I am pretty much predictable in my Javy pick EVERY freakin' day....


EDIT: I just noticed Mister Olive Oil OA picked Hidalgo. 22 points. That HAS to be the record for our group here. Way to pick 'em!

Dear Mr. Schmidt:

Remember me?

I wrote to you after your last start,
thanking you for the great game you
pitched, and telling you how much it
helped me in the Fantasy League I'm in.

Well, I have you on my team again tonight,
and the thing is, everyone else in the
league took that guy on Toronto, Hallady.

The way our league works is, there's
a salary cap, so you don't want to
necessarily pick the best pitcher
each day, you want the best value.

You cost me 6.0 against my cap, while
Hallady only cost 4.1. That means my
opponents had an extra 1.9 to spend on
their offensive players.

I was thisclose to taking him also, but
I decided to remain loyal to a guy who did
so much for me last week. So I'm asking for
a really great game again, like maybe a
2 or 3 hit shutout with 10 or 12 strikeouts.

By the way, did I mention that I'm a quadraplegic,
confined to a wheelchair, typing this by
sticking a pencil in my mouth, whose only
joy in life is from fantasy baseball?

Yours truly,

plawrence
