I'd call it something else. :p

My wallet wouldn't let me...

Hopefully they'll get the game in...

Hey....why do you need the Weather Channel when we have BethE down there? Call her up and ask if the coast is clear.

A couple people here have my phone number and no one's calling me. See. If you people were a little nicer to me you wouldn't need to go through the trouble of linking onto The Weather Channel. It's rained for 4 days, and the sun does not look like it's gonna come out. You might get a d/h real soon in the season. :p

Just for you, Plaw, lest anyone forget... :rolleyes:

Thanks, commish. Now it's recorded for posterity.

I am in 8th place in the whole wide world of ESPN Fantasy Baseball. And nobody can ever take that away from me. Nobody. Ever.

Nobody, except time.

I guess I should have said "I am in 8th place in the whole wide world of ESPN Fantasy Baseball TODAY. And nobody can ever take that away from me. Nobody. Ever."

An asterisk* should be used to denote that only two games have been rated.

*(apologies to Babe Ruth, Roger Maris and 61*)

Boy, what a wet blanket you are, SC.

{{{ Whine Alert }}}

These starting player salaries SUCK!! We get $50m to fill 10 positions ($5m/spot) -- but anyone worth anything costs more than $5m. And the PS's START at $5m for chrissakes!

It took me like an HOUR to fill my roster, and I'm not even that happy with it. (Of course, it'll take less time as we know how these scrubs do this year, but still...)

It looks like you guys will get your game in. It's not raining, but it's cold as heck. And the way the wind is blowing I think a bunt could become an in the park homerun.

Welcome to The Orioles Javy Lopez! I knew my former Brave would be great.

Too bad you're not playing, Bethie -- you'd've gotten 6 pts for that... :rolleyes:

So how many negative points has Pe-dro gotten so far?

So the answer to my question is -6. :p Don't worry peeps. Sydney always cracks under pressure. I'm sure Pe-dro will have time to catch up.

I said it earlier.....I should have gone with my gut feeling...Pedro didn't have it tonight.

I probably didn't score a lot of points tonight, but I will go to bed with a smile on my face b/c Boston lost & Pedro got roughed up in his first game! WOO HOO!

Sunday

?? = 3am passed while I was looking up the bottom half...

There could be much movement Monday among the Top 4. Plaw and I only share 2 offensive players, tho we both spent exactly $50.0 million. Hmmm. And Buffy and Douche have nothing in common w/ any of the Top 4's lineups! Uhh ohh...

It wasn't The Orioles night either. They're not usually that good.

I want to do a head count of how many Orioles we now have who actually speak English as their first language.

Don't wig out on me. I'm only joking.

....and I was asleep. Did not change my lineup Sunday. Spent the day at a wake (some excuse!!). Looks like a big fat zero since Balt-Bos ain't playing. That's OK, I wanted to give PLAW and JG a head start.

The whole day? And I had such high hopes for you. An adult, presumably with a strong sense of responsibility, and the realization that this game requires a daily committment, come hell or high water.

Anyway, don't worry too much about JG. He'll be dropping back to the rest of the pack eventually. It's just a matter of time before he makes some of his famous bone-head picks. DB is the guy to watch if you expect to battle for second place.

A couple of things...

- IM is Irishman12, correct??

- We have been playing this game too long. I looked at the PS of the top 4 and I just started laughing. Plaw, odds that we all have the same PS tomorrow??

[Insert crotch-grabbing emoticon guy] Battle THIS!

Correct.

Tomorrow is a little tougher, I think. Odds are about 15-1, I'd say.

Odds that PL, JG, DB, LD are the top four in some order or another by the end of the season? 3-5.

Odds that the four of us are the only players to pick a team every single day? 1-20.

Odds that the four of us are the only players who even last the entire season? Even money.

The next FS post when he talks about having fun, and not caring about winning, and what an old grouch I am? Priceless.

Irish, just so you know.... your points will accumulate "live" (with possibly a small margin of error) throughout the day as the games are played. When all the games are complete, you will be able to view your total points by clicking "today" on your page and can also view everyone else's results by clicking on their clubhouse page and clicking "today".

Whine Alert (already)...

You know what stinks about the game this year... Last year, it was a lot easier to figure out the righty versus lefty (pitcher-hitter) matchups. Last year, all we had to do was move the mouse pointer to the name of the batter and a pop-up just showed up that said "Bats LH" or "Bats RH" or something like that. It was one of my little tricks last year. They aren't doing it this year. Sucks.

Whine Alert Done...
