Yeah, get used to that...we have all woke up in the morning to baseball's little surprises.

We vent alot here...but we will usually preface it with a "{WHINE ALERT}" lest you get a nice hunk of cheese from SC (to go with the whine )

He says that like cheese is a bad thing!!! :p

Gosh the first day and while most things look different, SOME things NEVER change! I am still directly south of the Pork's backside!!!

I've got worse news, DB. Boston has Pedro going tonight, not Wakefield. You know what that means...

Well, there's me and DB. And maybe JG.....

Anyway, welcome to the game.

[Whine Alert]

Son-of-a-friggin' $#&^#*#$

[End Whine Alert]

This game blows. I may not play next year.

You be married with children and I'll be a grandfather, and we'll still be playing this game, MWA.

Friday

*25 pts for Victor Martinez!!

CB w/ the big drop, PL w/ the big jump!

Saturday

My dream come true. In between Bethie and Buffy.

The old sandwich job.

Some Questions Answered....

Can Bethie stay on top?
Sure, why not? "On Top" equals "In Control". Besides, she's a chick. We all know how unpredictable they are.

Will PL be happy as a sandwich?
No, not for long. He'd much rather be on top. But he doesn't mind looking behind him and seeing a pretty face or two instead of DB or JG.

How about LD? Is the "Buffy Pitching Curse" over?
What "Pitching Curse"? Ishii on the road came through for her last night. Who knows? We may have a catfight for first place. Mud wrestling, anyone?

Can MC keep it up?
You have to wonder. It's hard to stay up there for a whole weekend when you don't change your roster. And all that wine drinking doesn't make it any easier.

Is JG headed for another third place finish?
If he's lucky, yeah. But it looks like the competition might be a little stiffer this time around.

Is SC ever going do to better than a second division finish?
No, probably not. He's just an old softie. And it looks like he starting to wilt already.

What's wrong with DB?
Every man reaches a point in his life when the desire just isn't there anymore. When it's hard to get up for the game every single day. But DB's still a little young to be at that point. Besides, some new people to play with can sometimes spur a man to new heights. He'll be up there when the end of the season comes.

What happened to CB? He started off so well
Nothing really. He just got caught in a switch. Coupled with a night when he just couldn't seem to get any wood on the ball it added up to "poor performance". He'll get back up there, though.

Is this the end for FS?
Could be. The summer's in full swing, so there's grilling to do, freshly cut grass to smell, and flower baskets to hang. And, of course, those "special" lady friends to spend time with. If he doesn't get his priorities in order, he may find the next few months to be long and hard.

Well, at least he ain't whining today.

I guess you prefer my creative writing, you old softie, you. :p

I've always said you're the poet laureate of these boards.

Buffy and I share the same pitcher and the cream rises to the top. I guess we can officially say there's no Buffy or Bethie curses.

Sure CB: He just got caught in a switch
FS:Is this the end for FS?
Could be.

Sure, you are just like the news people. Like my PS didn't have the same problem as CB or DB. The day before I had the same problem you did VS your team. The only thing you have right is that Summer IS in full swing and I do enjoy my Ladies, and most important- things do get long and hard.

Everyone enjoy the weekend. July is half over and next week I will be away to Atlanta GA. I will have to get out of the basement before then.

Well, yes, that switchup was a little painful. But I'm sure it happens to everyone from time to time. I would've been alright if just 3 or 4 of my hitters would've had good games. That is how it goes sometimes. I still went with the Twins staff again today, so hopefully they can redeem themselves. They appear to be doing well so far.

I was this close to picking Jim Thome today. Of course, I didn't.

And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine.

Saturday (unofficial)

MC's Phillies (19) vs DB's Mutts (3)

Finally some offense. 54 pts is pretty good, right? :p

Sheets is...how can I put it...shitty!!! :rolleyes:

Sunday

Bad news, JG. It seems as though the Cleveland PS scored only 13 on Friday, not 22. When I posted the "official" Friday scores yesterday morning. I can't say that I remember if I checked the game site, or just added the pitching staffs to the scores that you had put up in the post prior to mine. I usually do check, and perhaps I did yesterday and the Cleveland PS score was changed later in the day yesterday.

In any case, you lost 9 points in the deal (3 unearned runs became earned by a score's decision being changed??), and have 146 not 155.

Did Geoff's PS score 13 or 14?

It was Friday, not yesterday. His PS scored 13, not 22.

Not one word about my PS and the point that I moved up two spots? Whats is the morning news and review coming to?

Wow! Didn't notice FS. I'm still seething over the piss poor performance of mine.

Congrats! *High five* You said you'd be out of the basement before you went to Atlanta. You're a man of your word.

My compliments, FS. It takes nerves of steel to pick a pitcher at Coors.

Thanks Bethie, I know that feeling. I had them for the first two days of the half.

Can I ever expect any other kind of news? :rolleyes: What do I pay you for? :p

Now accepting applications for Asst Commish position. All shifts needed. Apply inside.

Sunday

I wonder how many points I'll lose by the morning...

Does that mean I'm fired from my morning shift?

Congrats to CB for picking Chipper Jones. With all the Altanta players getting homers it figures the one I picked isn't one of them. But the way this games going I think each player might get 7 at bats, so no fear.

Monday

Detroit? ..... Texas?
