More fun with statistics...

Below is our average placement in the second half. This should be a measure of consistency, because it discounts the event when a player wins one week by a huge amount and doesn't do so well the rest of the weeks.

DB 3.18
PL 3.73
BD 4.09
JG 4.18
LD 4.36
FS 5.00
SC 5.64
BE 5.64

OVERALL (I didn't average in any weeks where people didn't the full week):

PL 3.79
LD 4.13
DB 4.25
JG 4.38
BD 4.79
SC 6.67
FS 6.79
BE 7.14

I'm back to normalcy....didya guys miss me? :p

I noticed I didn't get any awards...surely I did SOMETHING noteworthy (that can be mentioned publicly).

Guess I can be somewhat satisfied with the last chart DoucheMan concocted which shows me 2nd in overall placement (whatever the hell that is) At least it LOOKS pretty.

I am having the DT's. Really. Playoffs are great but I need to have my hand in something. Thank goodness for football though I can't believe I let Bledsoe screw me a second time after last week.....

YANKEES SUCK!!!

Freakin' TWINS?? We've OWNED the Twins!! As usual, the Yankees play down to the competition and get beat by the poor teams... assholes!!! WTF, Moose?!

Well, ...had we made picks today... in true Curse of Pork fashion, I'd've lost w/ the Wankers... How many woulda had Wood today? I just lost my wood, after that limp performance...

I would have picked the Plaw's favorite pitcher, Jason Schmidt, today.

btw - I have NEVER lost a sports bet here in 2 years of playing.

But, I will concede I lost BOTH bets I made with - one that I bet I would beat him in the 2nd half and the other that I would beat him overall.

The bet was dinner X two. If and when we ever occupy the same space - I will make good on both of them. Chow down,

LDV - Take'm to Louis' Restaurant in the Bronx. Just make sure you hit the Ladies Room first to wash up. Be sure to look behind the, the chain thing.

Shhhhh!!!! Reading my mind again, Pork. Our little secret, ok?

And look at you - all this coming from the guy who couldn't even kick plaw in the shins per request from me....

Oh wait. I forgot. Randy Moss is a biatch. Therefore, I am not speaking to you.....

A little bitter, are we!

Don't worry Buffy. Randy Moss won't destroy you this week.

I have a Priest and a Ricky to do that!

Are you SERIOUS?????!!!

Ok.

I will now be on perpetual for probably the next 13 weeks....

How about those Twins!!!

The Sports Programming Gods don't like me. I was all set to cuddle up on the couch in my jammies and watch the Braves game, but it's not televised here. Oh, the inhumanity! Why do these things always happen to me!

That's alright Bethie. You don't want to see the Braves get jammed up by Wood tonight anyway.

I want to see that. Sounds exciting!

Listings say it is on in my area. Bethie, if you leave now.........

There's a sodomizing joke there somewhere but I'll leave it alone.

Go Sammy! !

And the

Well, I hope the :p

Are you trying to make me jealous, or just turn me on? :p THAT I would love to watch.

Consistency...Someone could be consistently good or consistently bad.

I'd measure it by who has the smallest variation between their worst week and best week.

But I ain't doing it tonight.

God, I miss this game...

This is for Buffy....



Remind anyone of anyone they know?

Somebody pass the defib paddles. This game is gonna kille me. Ok, Doucheman, you've had fun with you Wood, now knock it off. Did you see Wood's wife in the stands crying and cheering for her hubby. I felt like slapping her across the face and yelling, "Snap out of it". Ok, so I just felt like slapping her across the face for the hell of it. Oh, why, did I find a channel with this game on!!

I have to admit, Kerry Wood is kinda cute. :rolleyes: Somebody slap me!

Bethie!! You are up at THIS hour? Good God, the baseball bug has bit you...congratulations and welcome to the land of the living. Or is it just Vinnie that keeps you up at night?

And Kerry Wood? Ick. Guys like him and Brett Favre look like they are right out of Deliverance. I hear banjos when I see them

Ok, Game Over...yay Cubbies!!

You can go to bed now and cry on your pillow Bethie....

I would say yes, but my breasts are bigger

plaw. Glad you think of me in this manner

Sometimes I would LOVE to be married to a sports-jock-remote-hogging-beer-guzzling-crotch-scratching-couch-potato. On Sundays and Monday nights, it would be bliss!

Oh, those late into the night games are gonna kill me, Buffy. And BTW, I didn't say Woodro was HOT, just had that bad boy edge. I hate pretty, cookie cutter freaks. Speaking of freaks, can someone explain to me how that monkey face Ortiz won 21 games? SF can take back their reject.

And speaking of Vinny, notice who made the last hit for the Braves? He looked all lonesome out there with none of those scrubs bringing him home. I felt like putting my arms around that 6'1, 205lb Mexicana and saying, "Don't worry dear, you'll never be lonely with me around". I know, my daughter already called me crazy last night for yelling at the radio. I didn't know it was televised and listened to it on the radio until the 6th inning. Good thing, cause if I saw that Cubs 4th inning on tv I would have surely put my fist through the tv screen. I'm thinking that would have hurt a bit.

ahem... ahem...

O.K., I got it...

You know what's bad Plaw... It's almost instinctual now to see a pitching line and count how many points I would have scored.

Last night... Schmidt... 29 points...

Feeling kind of cocky this morning are we Doucheman? All I know is my Sammy curse somewhat worked. What was he limited to, 2 walks? I gotta find a better person to hit with my curse. Maybe this time instead of banging into Marcus Giles Prior can ram into a foul line pole or something. But still, that whooping was nothing like what I gave you this weekend, so keep your pants up for the time beingg.

Wild scene last night at Wrigley... There were a lot of people just hanging out at the stadium, all the bars were packed. Outside souvenier vendors had their tents up. You woulda thought there was a game going on!

True, someone can be consistently bad or good. You're talking about standard deviation, correct??

If you are, Bethie is the most consistent.

Player AveragePerWeek StandardDeviation
BE 279.8 37.2
SC 264.7 45.1
LD 318.1 51.0
BD 314.1 51.3
PL 329.1 62.7
DB 312.0 69.0
JG 318.3 71.6
FS 281.4 77.6

This is for the overall and does not take into account weeks where we don't play a full 7 day week (week 1 and weeks BD, BE, FS entered), weeks more than 7 days (week 1 of second half), and weeks that a player does not play (first 9 weeks for BE and FS).

The question is, what was I consistent at? I guess that's the "award" I get then, huh, Doucheman. Ms. Constistentality.

You can't get an award Bethie, you QUITTER! When the going got tough, you -the tough - packed up your toys and went home!

We could do like the Miss America pagaent:

Miss Congeniality = - his daily ramblings were like a ray of sunshine! :rolleyes:

Talent Award = Big Daddy. Ever hear so many rim shots? Try the veal, it's the best in the city!

Swimsuit Competition = Buffy, of course. Red bikinis rock! Although I think a couple of these guys are sporting their Wood in a thong or two...

I'm with , I miss it too. I never missed the fantasy game that much in the past 4 years I played with my work peeps.

Wow, what does that say about all youse guys??? :p

Tough? When did things get tough? I believe I was in 5th when I bolted. And I don't remember taking my toys with me. Didn't you notice those basement dwellers were having far too much fun down there. They had to be doing something to keep themselves amused.

Or we could do those Best/Most Awards like in high school:

Most Studious:
Most Friendly: I'll get this one since I got it in high school.
Class Clown: Tie- Bad Daddy and SC
Most Handsome: Pork
Most Beautiful: Interestingly enough, Pork as well! He is, after all, a metrosexual! :p Best Legs: I don't know, but if I had to guess, SC!
Biggest Nerd: Me
Cutest Couple: Two words... pom poms
Most Outspoken: Tie- PL and FS
Most Whiny: Pork. He's been drinking more whine than he's used to. It's good for you, Pork.
Most Unique: Bethie. I think you should be the class clown too!
Most Likely to Succeed: Buffy. Any woman who can juggle a family, work, and be a sports fan at the same time is a winner in my book.
