Well it appears there was a reason PL has not been around lately nor doing as well as he normally does in the Pigskin Pickem. See below - Like I was always taught if you are gonna do something - might as well do it good.

5 days to go....

WTF - They changed my pitcher again - that is twice in two days

It's crunch time here and they are making changes without consulting me. Not only I am not gonna play next year I don't think I'm playing anymore this week. :rolleyes:

Don't worry about it, Bad Daddy. It's the Cubbies' year!

1 game up with 5 games left... You guys won't believe the buzz around here in Chicago. This city is going to go nuts if the Cubs win the division.

CONGRATS Big Daddy on your acsencion into 3rd place....where I used to be

I guess it is not totally impossible for me to come from behind and claim 3rd place back being only 100 some points back - mostly improbable the way I have been picking offense lately . Bites when my best offensive player last night was Mark Grudzelaniek! Wow, my offensive lineup has been money well spent :rolleyes:

I am just WAY too distracted these days.

DoucheMan, since my Dodgers are out, I am gonna be rooting for the Cubbies . NL and all.....plus where all the Dodgers (and Dusty Baker) go to die

When I was in Chicago, I went to Komiskey Park to see Bo Jackson play (wow, I am dating myself!) but I do want to make it to Wrigley before I die. Looks like such a cool park to watch a game in and maybe I can make it while the Dodger scrub hotties are still there. See the Cubbie puka shell wearing pitchers there up close and personal. Don't worry, I will call ahead. Stadiums are always on high stalker alert when I show up

It is not only that the Cubs have changed pitchers on us, it is that they put in a pitcher that SUCKS big time his last three time out! You know you will not see this shit thrower if they make the big dance!

If this was in the real world you could sue their asses for screwing you over.

Did I tell you it is time for Football anyway!

Who's your football team, FS??

Starting life in New York you had to be a Jets/Giants fan or you were dead.

For me it is the game itself. The match ups. I'll watch most any game and will pull for one team or another. Most often it has to do with a bet or a get together with some close friends.

I have always rooted against the Bills thoough. Dam those Bills fans drive me crazy so I always take the other team just for kicks when we watch. I think they have a good team this year, but old habits are hard to break. In fact I love rooting for the underdog, as long as they stand at least a small chance! Shit you all can't sit there without a challage now can you.

I'm a die hard Niner fan. We seem to be challenged every week.

I didn't think it was possible to be a Giants/Jets fan. The whole AFC -NFC thing. That is like saying you are a San Fran AND Oakland fan. I originally come from the Bay Area sure, but you gotta pick one!

I will usually root for the Jets in a matchup because a good friend of the family is Kevin Mawae. I'll watch for him and root him on.

In football I find I am immensely loyal to my Niners. In baseball, I can pretty much root for any team (usually NL) and just call the Dodgers my favorite.

If there ever was a day to catch up, today would be it. About half of my guys are sitting, and the other half were terrible.

Hopefully, Florida can lift the funk. :rolleyes:

What does "lifting the funk" have to do with baseball. Maybe they can use it as a stress reliever.

"Lifting the funk" is the new catch phrase for ya, Bethie!

Foh Shizzle, Doucheman!

Quoted by Doucheman:
Bethie... because Ramirez reminds her of Vinny Castilla

Umm...Doucheman. I'm watching the Cubs game, and can only think that Aramis Ramirez is who you were referring to when you made this statement. If it is I just have one question for you:

Are you high?

That was a hell of a Cubs game, Doucheman. Congrats to your guys. Who is this Shawn Estes, and where have you been hiding him? I may need to root for them if my team doesn't make it.

Buffy, it was nice to see your man Eric without all the peach fuzz on his chin.

There will be no more crying from you about pitching changes, please.

And BTW, you're getting a little too close for second place comfort over here. Don't you have some Football Commissioner roster moves to OK or something?

11:05 my time and Dodgers still playing...

Extra innings, Bases loaded LA up 2-1 (fingers crossed)

Man, I coulda used some offense tonight....

Y'know what? Ummm.... okay... never mind... no comment.

So anyway, I'm in Manhattan today, walking around using up time before my meeting. Thought it odd that many of the east-west streets in Midtown were closed, with police blockades and policemen ALL OVER the place like flies on shit. I'm like, "I didn't watch the news this morning, is there something I don't know about?"

Walking, walking (I LOVE walking through Manhattan)... finally, I stop and ask one of NYPD's finest: "What's going on?" / "The president is leaving today"... Ahh, okay, that explains that... a minute later, I find myself walking past the main entrance to the Waldorf Astoria -- no one else is but me -- and 10,000 cops -- I guess that's where Dubya was staying EVERY car within two blocks had "Diplomat" plates.

Okay, I figured I better GTFOH before I'm tackled for stalking - lol - so, time for some coffee to wake up for my meeting...

4 days to go....

There Satan goes again, breaking Bad Daddy's heart. Maybe he's just having a hard time letting go, and he just needs to smell your cologne and feel your presence some more. Why can't you just leave him be?

Actually, that was only a joke because they play the same position. I never saw it, but Buffy, I think saw a resemblance, so I said (in my best Frankie Pentangeli voice), "yea sure, why not."

In any case... What did I tell ya, Bad Daddy!

Estes pulled out a big one. O.K., so it was against the Reds, but a complete game shutout is still huge due to the importance of the game.

Nomo? No Mo'.

Safe assumption that I would take LA but actually I am going with Boston today.

Now watch, I probably just jinxed myself. If Nomo doesnt walk at least 20 tonight, I will be surprised.

How Lowe can you go?

I wonder how Pee-Lawrence feels about the Mutts now. Another crap night from the dogs of summer.
If he is not careful he may find himself in 3rd place soon.

After all with so little left there is almost no room for any real movement in most levels. Still you finish the days off for pride and honor!

Geoff, you have been sliding a bit yourself! What is it, new job, lover, or has football taken you away from your Fantasy baseball game?

How Lowe can you go? [/b][/quote]EVERYONE'S a comedian! :rolleyes:

We shall see how low I can go. This weekend is gonna be a blur starting about noon Friday. You know what THAT means!

And then *poof* like that, it's over! some people are happy about baseball ending but I go through the withdrawals every year. What WILL I watch on television now in the late evenings??? Who's got handsome, athletic men to look at?

More episodes of Elimidate!

In honor of the last few days until this game ends, for the nostalgic, I will be submitting some top 5 lists of just random things about the game. This edition is the top 5 recurring jokes throughout the two halves:

5 - jinx
4 - Basement dwellers
3 - "Can we get back to business, here!"
2 - Woody / Wood references
1 - Bad Daddy claiming he's Plaw's "honey"

Honorable mention:
- Buffy on weekends
- "Overall standings are what really counts!"

This world is truly going crazy. 1st Bad Daddy gets humorous in the football site, (when the HELL is he gonna create the football thread here), and now Doucheman is getting all nostalgic. Buffy, we really DO play with a bunch of "chicks". Ok,YOU play, where did my head go. Men really do get soft when they have no Woody to play with.
