Sorry charlie, non-players voices can't be heard around here anymore!

Trash talk is for players only, non-players please use General Discussion.

Hey, we kick ourselves around, we don't need no outsiders helping out.

Don't say I never listen to you Geoff.

It looks like Huff and Buff can unpack her suitcase, she's not going anywhere. But the thought of possibly being on top of The Doucheman did make me blush. :p

Isn't it a big Screen TV for first! [/b][/quote]You gotta win the whole season for the TV.

Here's the weekly prize:

"Weekly winners receive (1) copy of ESPN Major League Baseball console video game from Sega Sports and ESPN and one (1) ESPN Fantasy Baseball hat."

The game is worth $50, and the hat $15. Not too bad.

I guess this is where all the love, adoration and praise for me ends. My run was short and sweet. Just like me. Now I can go back to just being plain, old Hermie.

Now I know how Danny Bonaduce feels.

Hmm, what I meant to say was: why'd you guys pick Leiter when Dontrelle was pitching? I had full confidence in him!

Sunday

The race at the top is tightening....only 80 points separate first from fifth.

Leave it to those stupid Birds to ruin your chance at a spot on the top (for the week), Beth.

Yup, my guys let me down. All of them. What's a girl to do?

Now I've seen everything. Dogs at a baseball game? It seems Toronto has seats specifically for animals. What price fair do they pay? Is it based on their actually age or in doggie years. I could see if a foul ball gets hit their way. That'll be one mean game of fetch.

With my new all-Yankee strategy, I had to pick a different team for Monday - Cleveland. Funny thing, the Cleveland team put me over 50, while the Yankee team was way under. Go figure????

31 points so far for Arizon? Oh, sure. When someone is all alone with Johnson that's when he's explosive. :rolleyes:

Now Bethie, why would a women of your age be surprised by this?

So what you're saying is Johnson has a hard time performing when other people are watching.

no, on your other hand Johnson will always explode.

My Johnson came up big today.....

I guess it's safe to say Plaw got lucky in Atlantic City.

You had a powerhouse of a Johnson today, Pee. All the rest of us can do is stand here in awe.

Now, if you could get that our of your real johnson you would be a happy guy.

How did you do in A-C?

I donated about $300, which really isn't a lot for 15 hours of $20 limit poker.

But, as you may know, I hate to lose.

Monday (Official)

Well, my Yankee strategy flopped yesterday. I should have know that A-Rod and Jorge were swapping spit and shared the same flu, but look out for my Indians tonight.

BTW plaw, my daughter was at Trump's last night to see a show (Footloose). On the way out they put $20 in one of those poker machines. Last pull they hit 5 aces for $272. I hope she gives me a cut.

PITCHING STATS

Two weeks ago we had what was probably our best league total pitching week ever:

55-15, 3.35, 1197 Pts (19.0 PPD, 17.1 PPG)

Last week was certainly one of our worst ever:

27-36, 4.40. 695 Pts (11.0 PPD & PPG)

The All-Important Battle For The Overall Points Title

Looks like PL and DB will battle it out for first and second, with JG having an outside shot to grab one of the top two spots.

Looks like LD and FS will battle for fourth, with SC having an outside shot to catch one of them.

10 Things I Think I Think (ala Peter King)

1 - I hate this game. I'm not playing next year.
2 - I hate picking pitching staffs. Yesterday, following the A's game on CBS Sportsline's game tracker, I was actually put in a bad mood. Friggin' relievers. Zito leaves with two guys on base (no earned runs as of yet). The guy relieving him will only face one batter - he plunks him. The next pitcher promptly gives up a 3-run double. Uggggh. Infuriating.
3 - Other than being made sick of my fantasy picks and working, I watched a lot of Olympics. It's fun to watch table tennis.
4 - You know what's even more fun - watching women's beach volleyball. Holy mother!
5 - You know what's interesting - I really have made a concentrated effort this half to get better at picking offenses. I figure "Since I'm OK at picking PS, maybe if I improve my offense..." Uggggh.
6 - Congrats to Crabby for being within sniffing distance of the overall leaderboard. You WERE going to give me that videogame if you won, right??
7 - You know, I would hate to be one of the athletes that has their event scheduled towards the end of the games (like taekwondo is). I can't imagine you would enjoy yourself as much because (i) you can't enjoy the food because you have to keep weight (ii) you have to remain focused so you can't go out and see events/participate in the nightlife in the Athlete's Village.
8 - I still think USA basketball team will still win... The women, that is.
9 - Vijay is one lucky dude.
10 - I hate picking pitching staffs. Buffy, your Dodger Blue better come through for me. (Not that it matters, since the top 4 all have him).

Only if you would have given me your stimulator in exchange.

You know, after reading this- I think I picture a little guy with a stright jacket on, bound to a high back hard wooden chair moving his head back and forth and his eyes rolling around.

Reading what?

Your ten things-

I've been doing this for the last couple of months - get with the program, dude.

Oh yeah?? I hate this game MORE, and I'm not even playing THIS year (or so it seems).

Anybody see that little waving guy? I haven't taken a shot at him in a while, and I'm overdue.

I know that DUDE ....I was just telling you how I picture you when you are raving about these things. and laughing too.
