We have to live our own lives??? I was so looking forward to being Michael Jackson for a day.

Orioles game has been cancelled. Not that anyone had any of them for offense, I'm sure. :p

Points Per Game
13.7 (last year)
11.9 (this year)

Oh well, I have two on my team and a couple others not playing also. Looks like a bad night in the points department.

Sounds like a good reason to stay at tonights bowling banquet longer, then hit the town after.

Hey, you win some and lose some. Can't hit big numbers every night.

Bowling, FS? Big balls or little balls?

I know I promised myself I wouldn't, but I can't help it... :p

Who's knocking you??

Only Tejada and Edgar

I had Tejada too, so that choice was jinxed anyway Pork. I also had Roberts.

I'm watching Fear Factor tonight. Maybe if I abstain from baseball for a while, the gods will welcome me back in....

So is it the Dolce Curse, or, The Curse of Pork? I haven't been able to figure it out yet...

I gotta admit I'm with Buffy on this one

What, I can't do both ? :p

I had no idea I would be needing the Big Unit tonight - but I would probably give my left arm for it now. As the night progresses, I sure long for it more.

There oughtta be a law against televising my crappy pitching choices on television. I can't take the pick one: anger/disapointment/humiliation so close to bedtime. This game is UG-LYYYY!

Guess it could be worse. Hey, 5 of my players decided to show up to play today!.... :rolleyes:

If there was EVER a time to have the little crotch grabbing emoticon guy saying 'I got your big unit right here'

Yeah, yeah...you know what they say..Put up or Shut Up.

Isn't it past your bedtime? Hoping for extra innings, are ya?

:rolleyes:

Yes it is past my bedtime - going now if you must know. With the way your PS did tonight I am sure you will be dreaming 'what if' if you had the big unit tonight.

Oh that sounds a bit nasty. :p

Well, it's shirley one of us.... :rolleyes:

Hey, Shirley....next time you choose the same PS as me let me know in advance so I can change my pick!

Tuesday

Looks like everyone who had the Cubs lost 7 more points on the official scores :p

Tonight Mussina breaks the spell. The slump is over.

Don't look now 7&8, but number 9 is gaining on ya.

Wow, I got 1 stinkin point last night. Thank you very much the Chicago Cubs!

I knew today would be a tough day, PS-wise. There wasn't a clear cut choice (at least to me) and by the look of our picks (7 different PS for 9 players), I guess everyone felt the same way. Tonight's going to be scary.

Yes, scary indeed. I am Le Lone Wolfe again and that didn't fare too well for me last time :rolleyes:

No day games, either. Bummer.

And MC - I am one of the Moose's biggest fan. Of course, that has only a little bit to do with baseball . Yank Me's are a cry for help lately.

And oh yeah MC - (insert nonexistent crotch grabbing emoticon guy) - Gain on THIS!!! :p

All you players with rained out guys really must learn how to check the weather. Or at least call someone who can say, "Yeah, it's raining outside". :p

Of course, today it's as sunny as can be. Must be because George DUBYA is making a stop right next door to where I work at the VA hospital. He must be due for his next photo op with a disabled veteran with one leg.

Re: the Moose, in the words of Fernando,"It is better to look mahvelous, than to pitch mahvelous."

Re: that crotch-grabbing action....as I pass you by, gander at this..

MC - when that day comes - you might want to keep the below image handy. Those from last year I am sure remember it.

Hey, that's MY pic. :p

You're doing an awful lot of backseat driving for someone's who's not playing.

Or are you gonna surprise us like you did last year?

I have no surprises up my sleeve. Just a big mouth.

That must make drinking awfully difficult.

That's what they make IV's for.
