I'll congratulate you also there PL. Even going away down the casinos for the holiday weekend you still found a way to buy some online time to change your rosters to put yourself back in first place. What a date you are :p But congrats. And the commish won't say anything cause he is a Wussy or a Dork. :p As you were Peeps.

What's weird is I had the Cardinals   picked and at LITERALLY the last minute changed to Mutts. I remember they cost the same so I would not have to change up my whole roster and risk going over cap as the deadline loomed. I really hate making impulsive decisions in baseball. All other things in life, ok - but I usually regret it in this game.

At least DB had him also. No complaints here. We got a Ben Sheets performance, except for a few missing strikeouts.

My lips to God's ears. You won't believe, but I swear on my life, I swear on the head of my son; If I'm lying, I should never win another bet, another hand, or score another fantasy point as long as I live... No sooner did I post the above, and SF scored four runs.

Wow...wha' the....? I left the house to go on a run when AZ was up 3-0 and I thought hmmmm, some guys have all the luck. Tune in now 8-6. I missed it - why did they take him out so soon? Ah - one more inning it will be over. Thankfully for some people. EDIT: Nice save for the "W"....

I'm with you now, Buff. I know you probably expect me to be grateful for the supposed ride on your coattails....BUT!!- remember, it was MY pick too! Not a bad night's score for me considering I had 3 0-fers (AND Derek Jeter)  Game over. I can go to bed now. . . . and the peasants rejoice...

La Doce Vita. La Dolce Vita. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? I expect nothing in return. No thanks. No gratitude. Some day, and that day may never come, I may call on you to perform some service for me. A "congratulatons" when I win. Or some back-up when everyone is rooting against me. But keep picking the same pitching staff as I do. Then my enemies in this game will become your enemies. And then they will fear you.

Hmmm.... I did a little research to try and determine just how strong the Buffy Pitching Curse is on days when she & I pick the same PS. Interesting results. 8-10, 272 Pts, 15.1 PPG on days we had the same PS
17-30, 325 Pts, 6.9 PPG for Buffy on days when she had a different PS than PL
33-16, 823 Pts, 16.8 PPG for PL on days when he had a different PS than Buffy So she's done considerably better than her norm on the days when she's picked the same staff as me BUT I've done worse than my norm on those days. Conclusion: The Buffy Pitching Curse applies even to me, although I have been able to offset it somewhat.

Wouldn't that keep me extremely busy?? So in regards to your research on this BPC (Buffy Pitching Curse, good God, now we have named it??) what you are saying, in essence, is.... Ishii is gonna tank today? I am only 40 points away from the scrub in front of me. One can certainly make that up in one good night. You know, if I can just move up the ladder ONE RUNG, all would be right with the world and I could sit back and relax knowing I accomplished SOMETHING in this game. Pork - YOU know what I'm talking about, right? Mister perpetual 3rd placer.

Well, on days when you and I have different pitchers, you average a whopping 6.9 PPG. Draw your own conclusions. But Ishii on the road is probably one run per game worse than he is at home.
