Glad we did it at the same time... You don't trust I do my job?? :p

To get back to the issue about how much time each of us spends making our picks - I've noticed there is a direct correlation between points gained and time spent. Some weeks I'm able to devote 15-20 minutes/day making my picks and I do well. Other weeks I'll average 5 minutes/day and my scores suffer drastically.

Lesson learned: you get what you put into this game.

Its not that at all.....but since you brought it up, how come every time you post the scores you go up one or two spots in the standings?? :p

(I can't sleep, and its killing me).

Can't sleep? Let me pour you a Dewars... you like it neat, right? Here ya go....

Thanks....have a 'buca on me.

No 'buca at the moment, but Strega I have. Nice...

THURSDAY (Unofficial)

.

Thursday (Official...JG -1, FS +1, MC +4 from above)

Nice to see my offense coming around... I made my first official mistake yesterday by having Barry Bonds in my lineup (not playing those doubleheaders was only a mistake in hindsight). I knew he was sick, but I forgot to take him out.

By the way - Bye George! I was a big fan, but someone had to go other than my "cuz"!

You'll have one more week with your "cuz". Her goose will be cooked next week I presume.

BTW - Go Diana! She was my vote.

Back to AI, I see.

Ok - so it was probably best for George to go, I liked him but well time to go.

Next week, Diana or DB 'cuz'. My guess with it being Donna Summer night - Diana will go, Jasmine has more the look and style for the DS songs. Leaving Jasmine, Fantasia and LaToya.

That is where things will get interesting because I think all the kids will vote for Jasmine and then LaToya and Fantasia will split the rest -meaning one will go. I think Fantasia will not make it - leaving LaToya and Jasmine for the final 2 and LaToya being the 3rd AI.

Book it Dano'

THURSDAY

.

Afternoon games of interest...

Cards at Phils (FS, MC)
Pirates at 'Stros (BD)
D-Backs at Cubbies (JG, IM)

I've never seen "Strong Storms" ( ) listed before :rolleyes: How's it look outside?

Cloudy, but not raining (yet)... I think they'll get this game in, Pork.

Well, at least I know you'll be rooting for me (well, at least the Cubbies) today

No one's pitching Wood today. Closest thing is a Harden

A score of 10 - 9 Cubbies would be fine with me! :p

Oh wait - you guys are back to the baseball talk now ? Opps am I embarrassed

Oh wait - you guys are back to the baseball talk now ? Opps am I embarrassed [/b][/quote]I am. But I'm doing it in private. SHHHHHH!

You should be embarrased Bad Daddy. And you still don't know how to spell Ryan S-E-A-C-R-E-S-T's name.

I still can't get over the fact that you've watched "An Officer and a Gentleman".

:rolleyes: If I used the correct spelling - I could be sued.

You know I have been meaning to tell you about your hmmm 'boyfriend', Vinny. The picture for your Avatar - it looks like one of the girls on the softball team when I was in high school - one of the pitchers probably. You know the type, the ones that carried a wallet.

Coming from a guy with a picture of a guy with a bullet in his head I'll take that as a compliment.

He's no cupcake like you, I'll admit. Or is that eye candy? :p

Reading this, how many earned runs do you guys read?

Randy Wolf pitching:
Tony Womack: Strike looking, Ball, Womack flied out to left.

So Taguchi: Strike swinging, Ball, Ball, Taguchi safe at first on 2nd baseman Polanco's fielding error.

Albert Pujols: Ball, Ball, Pujols singled to center, Taguchi to second.

Scott Rolen: Strike looking, Strike swinging, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Rolen singled to center, Taguchi scored, Pujols to third.

Edgar Renteria: Strike looking, Strike swinging, Ball, Ball, Foul, Renteria singled to right, Pujols scored, Rolen to second.

Reggie Sanders: Strike looking, Sanders popped out to second.

Hector Luna: Strike swinging, Luna homered hard to deep left center, Rolen and Renteria scored.

Cody McKay: Strike looking, Strike swinging, Foul, McKay flied out to left

Hey, what is wrong with that. She has to have a place to carry her condoms and credit cards too you know!

ONE!
don't worry they will fix it later!

I hate pop quizzes. But I'll guess one?

I'm not worried FS... I just wanted to make sure that I know the earned run/unearned run rules...

I agree w/ the 1 ER in the box score:

After 1 out, Tag reached on an error. Two hits later, he scores (unearned, he should've been out). Pujols scored on the next hit (earned). Next guy is out, so all scoring after that should be unearned cuz there would've been 3 outs.

This version is easier to read for me:

ST. LOUIS 1ST
-Top of the 1st inning
-T Womack flied out to left.
-S Taguchi safe at first on error by second baseman P Polanco.
-A Pujols singled to center, S Taguchi to second.
-S Rolen singled to shallow center, S Taguchi scored, A Pujols to third.
-E Renteria singled to right center, A Pujols scored, S Rolen to second.
-R Sanders fouled out to second.
-H Luna homered to left, S Rolen and E Renteria scored.
-C McKay flied out to left.

5 runs, 4 hits, 1 error
St. Louis 5, Philadelphia 0

Freakin' Arizona

I see... Thanks Pork...
