If you sort all available players by total points, Thomas is about the 4th or 5th one down on the third page.

From The Department Of Useless StatisticsSeeing someone move ahead of me in the standings usually sends me fleeing into my panic mode, so I figured it was time for a projection since I haven't done one for a while. First, a few caveats: These projections are based on the assumption that everyone will hit their maximum number of games played at each position, something that, given the attention level of some of the participants here, I certainly don't expect to happen. I could do a projection which includes on how many games below the max people are on a pace to finish with (which would be more accurate, I guess), but that's another two steps and a lot more work. Also, we're still at the point where one really good or bad game can change the whole thing. For example, if in his next pitching start DB has a guy who gets +27 - just one guy in one game - that would add an additional 548 points to DB's projection. And, I don't expect certain of these projections to hold up throughout the season. For example, I don't expect CC to average only a quarter of a point a day in relief pitching, and I don't expect DB to average almost a negative quarter of a point per pitching start for the whole season - I think both will do much better over the long run. Anyway, here it is. No math; if you want to do it yourself, the formula is a few pages back. Projected Finish TM 8070

 Quite a diatribe there, TM, especially coming from someone who is doing relatively well in both games. So does all of this mean we can expect you to start missing some days soon? :p Because, if the the truth be told, you have proven to be a rather formidable competitor so far -as I always said you would be in the past, if you could simply avoid missing days - and while I would hate to see you give up, if you did it would be one more obstacle removed from my relentless march to vicory.

well that was an anger-attack that I had when I got home from class and found out that everything had gone wrong. especially when I saw that my 3 starting pitchers combined for amazing 12 points when I expected something between 45 and 60. I just had to let it out  now I'm just pissed off. maybe the games aren't just about "dumb luck", but luck is 95% or so. I still want to kill Peavy, though.

I'll post this here, JL, because you're a Mets fan and you have Wagner on your Yahoo team.... How the hell do you pitch to Bonds with a two run lead and one on and two out in the 9th  :rolleyes:

19-40 0-1 19-41 .683 In an effort to have a compilation at the end of the season of (roughly) the Top 100 individual hitting and starting pitching performances, and the worst 100 starting pitching performances, I figured that the cut-off point will be offensive games of 15 points or more, pitching starts of 30 points or more, and for the worst, starting pitching performances of -20 or more. Here's where we stand as of this morning. Every day I'll note any previous day's performances which make the list, and on Mondays post the complete list. One of these days, BTW, I'll get around to the "Worst Relief Pitching Performances". All those -20s and worse can make a big difference at the end, especially if one of us gets stuck with a disproportionate number of them. (Note: I am only including games in which the player was in his team's starting lineup) Best & Worst Performances -

It is interesting that you have about 15% of your points from RPs, and everyone else's totals range from about 3% to 8%. I have a feeling it's all gonna even out considerably, though, before it's all over. Look at DB.....96% of his points from offense, and 8% from starting pitching.

You certainly don't owe anyone any explanations, but I'm wondering.....
CC.....How did you know not to have Willis in your lineup last night?
TM.....Why didn't you have Arroyo in your lineup last night?
I don't have to ask DB about Hudson; he has to figure that anyone is an improvement.
