Well, since everyone's against me (as usual), I have no choice but to be my usual gracious self, and extend a warm welcome also.

WOW, this has been a major breakthru day!

:rolleyes: Yeah. The doctor gave me some pills.

Cubs Win!! Cubs Win!!

Back to Back Homers by Sosa and Alou to come from behind in the bottom of the ninth to win by one!

Cubs Win!!

WTF Vazquez? Not to mention errors by Giambi and Jeter... :rolleyes: I bet SC is enjoying it, tho!

Hey, give them a chance. Good Luck!

Bad Daddy - I just noticed it's your A's versus my Colon tonight. I hope Colon isn't stinky tonight!!

SC - You think ex-Yankees Stanton and Weathers were gonna help the Mutts out tonight? OMG, it's a meltdown in the 8th! Sorry, bud...

Nobody can mistake this for an excuse, since I'm in first place, but....

Does anyone feel the way I do? That this game doesn't have the juice and excitement that it had last season?

That it's just not as interesting or as much fun as it was?

Seriously....

It's cuz of the ridiculous player salaries I'd imagine. Oh, and because the women aren't around much... And because Bad Daddy hasn't been around much, either...

Nah, it's not the salaries....

And the girls? True, LDV was more active last season in the posting, but CC wasn't around until mid-season I believe (altho her pom-poms were ever present.)

I just can't put my finger on it, but something is missing...it just doesn't seem to be as much fun.

Maybe I'm taking it too seriously, but what's the point if you don't take it seriously and try to win?

As CC might say, "I'm confoosed"

It may be that it is to early in the season.

Pitching sucks.

We lack good stats that have real meaning and at the moment all picks turn into a crap shoot. By mid season we will have something to sink our teeth into.


Or it could be those pills the doctor gave you?

anyway give the season a chance to settle. You know there were tons of changes with players movements and all.

Great so I go from playing with myself to have to play against your sh!tty Colon. I don't think he'll do well, I'll bet against the A's tonight that you Colon does stink. Seriously though why would you pick Colon for tonight against the A's - that was really a crappy pick. I bet your colon gets whacked around tonight leading to a case of runs.

:rolleyes: Ok I'll stop now.

You see PL the above is what you have been missing - the always mature, intellectual comments and thought provoking perspective I bring to the game. Shame I probably won't be around more than a week. But I'm around tonight and I hope my A's wipe up your Colon. Ok I need to at least stick around till Wood and Woody pitch again. Gee I wonder if the next time somebody has Wood if have to go against Pork's Colon.

Sh!t I can't stop now.

Damn, MC is gonna be mad he is missing all this good stuff. :rolleyes:

That is it, we all missed Big Daddy and how does Pen and Teller say it???? Oh Yeah- BULLSHIT! Good thing you are back Big Daddy!

OMG!!! Big Daddy is back!!!

Wow, I don't check this site for almost a whole day and look, it is chaos!

Bet he joined just to say hello to his Sports Goddess.

Oh wait. That was last season/different sport. :rolleyes:

Some sports goddess :rolleyes: ...near the bottom of the barrel, the dregs, the basement. Oh the humanity. And by the way....thanks Bad Daddy. Wasn't I in 6th place until you came along?????? Now I am in 7th (at last count before tonight).

Hmmm, well all this talk of stinky Colon, um, guess you know where you can find your welcome back from me......

Seriously...welcome back. But only a wuss would wait 10 days to join. C'mon, you got the memo, JUST like everyone else!!!! :p

not as much fun???????

Ok Peeps....a show of hands, who here is not having fun? (Maybe only Irish )

plaw, MUST you analyze EVERYTHING?????? Are we not entertaining enough for you day after day?

Seriously, I know SOME of us are having fun. Maybe you are dealing with a guilty conscience or other non-baseball related baggage.

Maybe it is a lack of good sleep or other 'neccesities' in life.

Maybe your perception is a bit off.

Maybe I am entirely too optimistic for my own good and make a good time for myself whereever I go.

Yeah. That's it. :rolleyes:

Marlins are really cheap as hell tomorrow....!

That could be it

Man, I knew that I had screwed up by switching PS.
Would of been a 30 point swing. Good pick DB.
I let the Marlins draw me in with their numbers.

I had the D-Backs until late that night. That is why I posted that post about switching. Then relooked at the numbers difference between the two and switched. Since I had been burned by D-Backs once already this year.
Then the Marlins switch pitchers on US yesterday anyway....so most of us took them today with the pitcher we should of had yesterday, instead of the other high priced big name pitchers.

Anyone who says they only spend ten minutes at this game a day is full of shit. or in the basement!

who says we aren't having fun yet?

Hey LDV, call Bethie and have her come over and shake her Pom-Poms for Pee. Then disconnect his computer and put him to bed for some sleep. Break him out of his rut.

I wanted to take Boston PS, just didn't have the guts. Game is about to start. Should be a great game.

Yeah, real great... :rolleyes:

You shoulda picked them, though: 22 pts

Mondays, I hate Mondays.

I now have to pick A whole new team. Not that it is that bad, but it always seems to come on a short pick Monday along with the changes in player values.

2HR Bonds - DB, JG
2HR Lawton - DB
2HR Sosa - no one

Damn, some of the players I picked for Monday are tearing up the place today :rolleyes: What do they say about a day late and a dollar short?

Maybe they will be super two days in a row? One can only hope.

What's the matter, DB, you couldn't pick Sosa, too?? :rolleyes: Good job, you're now #1 -- no pressure!!

Freakin' Lawton... I have him for TOMORROW

That makes two of us.
There is a new leader in town folks.

Congrats Douchey on your good night and your acsension to the top of the pile. Glad Clemens could come through for US Awesome offense too, ya bastid.
