Jun 26 The Associated Press reports Minnesota Twins C Joe Mauer had a career best five RBIs and tied a career high with four hits in the Twins 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday, June 26. Mauer leads Major League Baseball with a .377 batting average. Is it considered a whine if I simply request someone to kill me? :rolleyes:

If you carry on about how he scored 13 points and you had him on your bench, and then add in passing that you'd like someone to kill you, then I'd say that it would qualify as a whine. But if you mostly emphasize how you would like someone to kill you without going into a great deal of detail as to the "why", and mention Mauer as the reason only in passing, then I'd say that it does not qualify as a whine.

I can't get into the Yahoo game site or the ESPN site right now.
Anyone else that's around having a problem?

Only an hour and a half? Judging by the standings that might not be enough. :p

I'm ahead of you in the ESPN game despite the fact that I missed two days, and as soon as I make up the 14 starts in pitching that I'm behind you, I figure to pass you in the Yahoo game as well.

That gets our overall average up to 8.57 FPPG (from 8.44), the highest it's been since May 25th (8.58). I don't know if we have a shot to reach 10.0 by the end of the season with slightly more than half of our total starts already used (769/1458, or 52.7%).... We'd need to score another 7,990 points in 689 starts, an average of 11.596 FPPG the rest of the way. And that assumes that as a league we reach 1458. If we don't, we'll have to do even better than 11.596 FPPG.

Not if you get a good pitcher's duel and the guy that ultimately loses leaves the game with the scored tied and doesn't get the loss.
If Patterson had pitched, say, 5 or 6 innings and given up 1-2 runs on 3-5 hits with 5-6 strikeouts and only 1 walk, and left with the score tied 1-1, he gets 10-20 points.
And if Halladay sticks around for 7 innings, and gives up 1 run on 5 hits with 5 strikeouts and 1 walk, and leaves up 2-1 and gets the win, that's another 28.
Obviously a lot to hope for - especially the Patterson part, with him leaving with the score tied - but that's what I was hoping for.
Even if Halladay wasn't pitching for Toronto and I used Patterson, he still would have gotten bombed, so the Halladay part had nothing to do with it, really, except to the extent that it affected Patterson's chances of getting the win.

Even better: I caught up to you! :p  Saves aren't worth anything in our scoring, tho -- APPARENTLY a whole 2 pts (ultimately, 1 for Save, 1 for Save Opp).  Not sure why it says SV (8) and SVOP (-6) in the settings... but I only got 4 pts for 3 outs w/ 1 BB, 1 SV, 1 SVOP... Can someone please remind me how a Save Opp is worth the same as a Loss????
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

They didn't give you the option of assigning a negative value to a blown save, so that was the only way to do it.
My thinking - and DB and I discussed this, and he agreed - was that because such a tremendously high percentage of saves opportunities were sucessfully converted, making the SVOP -6 and the Save +8, aguy would get =2 points for a save, and -6 for a blown save, which is as bad as a loss.
If he converts 3 out of 4, which is below average for closers, he would wind up with a net of zero points.
If he coverts 4 of 5, about average, he winds up with a net of +2 points.
And so on.
Had Yahoo made Blown Saves a stat category, I would have made a Save worth +2 or +3, and a BS worth -3 or -4, which would have been preferable.
The only problems were
a) People seem to think that a save is worth a lot more in real life than I personally do. The save rule is so stupid that guys get saves for doing practically nothing and in some cases being totally inefficient.
Just an example: The game vs. the Yankees when the Mets Wagner came in with a 4 run lead and allowed the Yanks to tie the score, but wasn't charged with a blown save because with a 4 run lead it wasn't considered a SVOP.
and, more importantly,
b) A pitcher who blows a save frequently gets charged with a loss, penalizing him way too much IMO in those games. he took a big penalty for blowing the save, another bug penalty for allowing just one more run and being charged with the loss was not worth the additional -6 points, and leads to some scores that are way too low for the situation.
That's something we didn't anticipate when we did the scoring system, and something we'll have to try and figure a way around for next season.
