I have a baaaaad feelin' about this ChiSox PS all of a sudden. Schoeneweis was supposed to pitch the second game as of last night's press release. Now we have a debut of our own? :rolleyes: I wasn't all that confident in Garland in Game 1 as it was... this could get really ugly!  Sure hope Schilling doesn't get Schillacked tonight  AI: The American people are freakin' embarrassing!

BTW - I was quite happy w/ my team yesterday, before these D-H's. (I figure if I keep whining, it'll turn out okay. But then again, I just reversed-jinxed myself. But that reverse-jinx was intentional, so it'll turn into a positive. But just saying that, I jinxed myself). And as far as players I hope that do exceptionally well go, those would include the players I share with those below me: they'd gain no ground on me, but, I'd gain ground on those above me. Capisce?

Well, I have to look at the potential (even though there's a potential for double disaster ) -- it's a gamble either way. A PS can get a W but win 15-14, and a PS can also get a loss, but lose 0-1. I'd rather have two losses combining 0-2 than two W's combining 30-28 We'll see... All I know is, neither of us have Buffy's pick

Just curious, for those with DH pitching staffs, what PS staff would you have chosen otherwise? I was tossing Schill and Peavy back and forth: I probably would've gone w/ Padres. I'm surprised none of the 4 took them. But Schill's not a bad bet either (even though Schill gave up 7 ERs to Toronto last time :p )

Like anyone is going to take MY pitching strategies to heart, DB, but my initial roster before the DH was Zambrano and the Scrubbies. Only time will tell if I spend the better part of the late afternoon kicking myself. I mean, don't I suffer enough? I have to torture myself with the woulda/shoulda/couldas. If y'all want, I can tell you my pick for tomorrow so you all can run, run for your lives!!!

Know what's funny? I never even thought about Schilling. It was squarely between Padres and Cubs. Weird though, EVERY time I have ever bet against the Reds, I have suffered. What was harder for me was to bet against my Dodgers. But I just HOPED it would be a low scoring game for LA. Thought maybe at worst, Cubs could keep them at 2. Why Schilling at the last hour? Simple. Everytime I have taken him, he has sucked. Everytime I have not taken him, he has shined. I am hoping he was not paying attention and that I am "due".... I have probably jinxed our rookies good.

Magglio Ordonez not in the lineup for the first game. But since the top three all have him, BFD

And it begins... :rolleyes: 1 ER already in the first inning of 18... Gonna be a loooong day!
I will have to go out in about an hour and a half and won't be able to come up with the total PS score for Game 1 before Game 2 begins. If someone can do that after the W has been assigned for Game 1, that'd be great - or, I'll just calculate from the box score when I get back...

I may be wishing I hadn't known about these D-H's... two of my "regulars" (JD Drew and Sierra) both hit HRs so far today... :rolleyes:

You can pretty much count on Catchers only playing one game though..... Mack is a scrub for sure, doesn't even play every game, I was unsure taking him but well, you know money and all (or lack of it, thank you Big Hurt... ) I was at Applebee's at lunch with a friend. Peeked in the bar and saw them putting a tarp on a field. I hurtled over about 30 people to see if one of MY games was getting rained out. Not an easy feat in a skirt and 3 inch heels!! Fortunately, noone was injured....

And funny considering my attendence to many a Rockies game, I didn't even know who Greene was!! Only Greene I am familiar with is Shawn!! Strategy? Ha! No worries. No would ever listen to MY strategy tips. I am the Tokoyo Rose of Fantasy Baseball. My lips move but noone takes any merit in what I am saying. That will all change when and IF I ever get back up to my cushy 3rd place berth....
