I wouldn't feel safe, and I'm sure DB wouldn't either, with less than a 40 point lead or so on Sunday morning. And the way this is going, it doesn't look like that's gonna be the case.

Boston seemed like the "safe" pick today and I figured that you weren't going with the safe pick, so I thought by picking someone that you weren't picking... You know how it goes. Freaking CoCo Crisp not giving me any points... He can stick his Crisp up his Coco...

plawrence RIP StatMan Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 15,058 The Slippery Slope	Well, a 25 point lead is really only one day's worth like I said above. Even with only four days to go, I figured it was still too early to go "unpredictable". Besides, there is the Overall Points Title to consider. Anyway, DB, my MWA, I'd say "let the best man win", except whichever one of us does will not, I think, have proven his superiority over the other. We've had what? Six lead changes I think between you and I? I fully expect this to come down to whichever one of us is the last to have a good day. It's amazing to me how closely we've competed through the second half of last year's baseball, two halves and a playoff round of basketball, and now this. Here's to 'ya "Difficult....not impossible"

I thought she was your number 1 fan. Oh wait that is Buffy. That got PL jealous when she said that, so you know, he told me in a PM. So not sure if Buffy or Crabby is your number 1 fan - maybe a cat fight will break out. Oh and yes she does frighten me. Hey I said the other day my team was in 4th place only a few points of FS. I was gonna come back for the last few games, give FS some competetion the last few days, but he was afraid of the competition. He's a Wuss. :p

I do know that Buffy told me in a PM that she would have jello wrestled you but that she would have kicked your a$$. Said something about no way she could lose a fight to someone who is a 'great aunt'. She was afraid she would hurt you and you would have stay an extra week at her house to recuperate. :p

plawrence RIP StatMan Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 15,058 The Slippery Slope	So how did I wind up with San Diego and David Wells, when the logical choice, especially considering that there's pretty much a virtual tie for the top spot, is the Big Unit? Well, let's call it a mistake. I did my team in the morning, when still trailing by 25 points, thinking that it was time to possibly take a chance with some unpredictability. If figured if developments warranted it, I could always change later. Developments warranted it. I just plain forgot. "Difficult....not impossible"

(Although Schilling was "obvious" last night. :rolleyes: ) - On the other hand, I wouldn't have minded so much if we had the same pitching staff. With the uncertainty of the pitching staff out of the question, then we just let our offenses battle it out. Although my offensive picks have been horrible lately, on an average night, offensive points don't vary as much between player to player. Therefore, if you do better than me, you can't get too far away (and vice versa)... Essentially, you live to see another day. A wild variation in pitching though might be impossible to make up. We'll see what happens!

plawrence RIP StatMan Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 15,058 The Slippery Slope	I agree with DB's analysis 100% for the reason he cited. At this point, it's to the advantage of both of us to have as many of the same players as possible. Falling behind by even 20 points at this stage of the game could be too much to overcome. If Wells flames out, or if the Unit pitches a gem, you'll hear no whining from me. I certainly expect no sympathy. Not from this room anyway, where everyone is rooting against me. Of course, should the reverse happen, I'll be crowing like crazy and strutting like a peacock. Never did I dream when we started 15 months ago that winning this stupid game would mean so much to me.
