Shouldn't this have been sent as a PM? That way only the interested parties would have to see it.

Oh wait....I shouldn't speak for DB.

Well, I can certainly understand your lack of interest in the battle for first place, particularly since you're about to climb out of the basement and with a really good day could even move up two spots.

But I would hate to simply PM this stuff to DB and deprive my reading public of the opportunity to partake of my valuable insights.

Slow day at work, huh?

Whaddya talkin' about? I wrote this crap at 6:30 this morning.

"PL's Choices For A Career If He Could Go Back 35 Years And Do It All Over Again":

1) Trial Attorney. The judges would have allowed me anything, just to shut me up.
2) Sports Writer. I really think I could step right into a job doing this today if I had the opportunity. Seriously.
3) Baseball Broadcaster. I actually did kind of do a game once. I was the GM of my college radio station, and we brought a TV into the studio during a Yanks-KC playoff game in the mid-seventies, and me and another guy watched the game with the sound off and broadcast the play-by-play.

So do I. You certainly are knowledgable enough, and you have the writing skills......

Awwww shucks. Thanks, buddy

Yeah......enough of that sappy shit, Windbag!

The Buffster is going to be p-oed...

That's better. You had me scared for a minute.

Nice analysis there, plaw (although I disagree with some of your points). In the end though, I don't think today is going to swing on our offense but our PS picks.

Man, it was almost a crime NOT picking the Benson/Leiter duo in a doubleheader. Too bad it was in Colorado... :rolleyes:

I was kinda hoping that you'd be the p-oed one this morning.

Just as long as you're not an asbestos lawyer!

I think you can do it too. Just remember to dedicate your first book/article to your friends here at the GBB.


Better practice your boo-yahs!

I was thisclose to taking them anyway. Then I looked at who I had from the Rockies on offense, reminded myself where the game was, and said "What am I, fucking crazy?"

The Buffster is going to be p-oed... [/QB][/QUOTE]


Considering they're calling for Isolated Thunderstorms all day in Colorado we all could be the ones p-oed and The Buffster could come out smelling like a rose.

I agree with all.
Trial Attorney - the tenacity, the verbal skills, the pomposity, arrogance.
Sports Writer - not golf, maybe football, OK for baseball. Again the same skills above apply.
Baseball Broadcaster - But do you have "the voice"? If so, this might be your lost niche.

Hmmm....

When I checked the forecast last night, it was supposed to have cleared up by the afternoon. I just checked again, and it doesn't look good.

I'm sure they'll get at least one in, though.

I've been told I have a "sexy" voice. I guess you could ask Crabby, TIS, or SaladBar what they think; those are the only gals I've ever spoken to here. Personally, I wonder.

I did do a lot of radio broadcasting in college, but I think my "Noo Yawk" accent would disqualify me from doing it professionally.

It didn't hurt Lynn Samuels

First Game:

First wrong assumption: Zeile at 1B, Wilson catching. No two starts for Phillips.

First right assumption: No Floyd

I'm listening to the game on the radio, and the announcer says that Art Howe told him before the game that Zeile would probably start in both games.

Nice going, there, Crabby...

Three run homer for Cameron..

Aaron Miles leads off the first for the Rockies, and the Mets announcer says how he's 5 foot 7, and then he says how he's not the "quintessential leadoff man" because he doesn't draw enough walks.

So I look it up. In 376 ABs, Miles has walked nineteen times.

19 walks in 376 ABs for a guy who's barely more than five and a half feet tall and batting leadoff.

Come on......

Thursday

Doubleheader: Mets at Colorado

GAME 1

16 pts Cameron - PL, SC
12 pts Hidalgo - PL, DB, JG, CC, SC
+4 for Garcia - DB, SC

Why, thank you!

Zeile, first game, 0-6.

If he plays the second game instead of Phillips, Art Howe will be getting a letter from me tonight.

Why, thank you! [/b][/quote]Another of those self-congratulatory posts?

I guess I should be congratulating myself for picking Cameron.

You already did! Cameron was a good pick - and I was gonna add "but you weren't alone in picking him" but then saw who did. Hey, but at least it took SC out of the gutter (for now)! Hopefully Burnitz will hit a few out next game (I assume he'll play)...

Nice going, PL, picking Mike (16 points in the first game) Cameron, instead of Jeromy (2 points in the first game) Burnitz.

Even if Cameron sits in the second game (which will also get Art Howe a letter from me) and Burnitz plays, it's gonna be tough for him to outscore Cameron.

Okay, who refreshed the Arsiva page 10 minutes before the end of the game so we have to wait an hour to see the final results? Now I gotta do it the "old school" way :p

He's fat and old and a lefty is pitching for the Mets.

I assumed he wouldn't play two. That's the only reason I took Cameron.

Don't forget the Met's Garcia. he's like Newhan and Raines Jr. His points don't show up until the next day. I think he had 4.
