REAL baseball, for me, starts on Monday... since not only is that when the Yankees start, but..... I will be watching The Sopranos at 9PM ET Sunday, not the Indians/Sox game...

I'll be at the Nets game tonight. But if I woulda realized that tonight was opening night of what promises to be the biggest and bestest fantasy baseball season (don't care about the real season anymore) in Gangster BB history....

Good ol' ESPN ( :rolleyes: ) is showing tomorrow's matchups with today's date still - I'm too afraid to change it yet!

It seems journalists have just as much fun as we do... I was just reading about Yankees pitching: ...[In 2005] Wang was up and down, and Pavano was down and out... But at least they offered some advice: ...pass on Wang and Pavano until it's clear how they will fare.

That's probably Plaw, in his part-time writing job... ...except either you or DM must've given him tips on what to write about. :p I can't believe what one of my friends did in our group. I set "default" Opening Day lineups for everyone (just to get them started) and told them they could change it if they wanted. He changed his, but he apparently wasn't clear on the concept that the players have to actually be playing...only one of his guys is in today's game.  That's what they get for not listening, when I offered tons of advice. This stupid pool will be a fight for the best of the worst.

I did mine, too, regardless of the date displayed. Spent hours somehow, and for a shitty-ass lineup probably!  It's tough in the first couple weeks to see how people do...

I've got a question for the Commish, since I'm "Commish" of my group - one of my friends got 37 points yesterday, which showed up under his lineup, but in the standings, it shows him as having zero points. This is probably typical ESPN, as I think this kind of thing has happened with us before, but I'm wondering how I should handle it? He's in the pool, so I obviously don't want to cheat him out of those points. Is there any chance of it fixing, or do I just always add 37 to his total?

I guess it is better than last year's strategy -- playing whenever you felt like it. :p

Well, your lineup locks at 3AM, so you CAN'T wait until tomorrow morning!
What I usually do is complete tomorrow's lineup first thing in the day (so I don't forget), and then before bed I do a quick check for injuries and rainouts...

Konerko's on my Shit List, after screwing me over two days in a row in two different games!  ...but, Thome's my homey today, too. Gina hit 3000 - Congrats!  Man, you'd think it'd be more like 6000 by now, after a years' worth of Willy talk alone!
