"He gave the book to him?" "Who gave the book to him?" "He gave the book to whom?" I'm sure I get it wrong sometimes, though. That link has some complex examples I'd've gotten wrong.  And some people think it's pretentious - the same people who cannot use "we"/"us" and "I"/"me" properly...

Le it rain, let it rain, let it rain Doesn't look good.  ...but neither does Plaw's Johnson. :p P.S. Jeez, Plaw... Carlos Guillen... 2 HRs (17 pts) in 4 innings...  Bastid.

and I almost kept him. decided to go with Adam Everett in the last minute before leaving home. if it wasn't for Johnny Judas Damon ( also 2 HR in 4 innings ) it wouldn't be that bad for me. anyway, I knew my team would suck today. it was thee most difficult day to set up a team for me, with a lot of good pitchers in a lot of pitcher's parks.

They've started playing in St Louis - hopefully they'll get the whole thing in...  ...unless it's a sucky outing!

Without question, the big Fantasy Baseball story this year has been the inconsistency of the starting pitching, not only in this game but in the Yahoo game as well. Here's a commparison for the four of us who played last year - PL, JL, JG, and SC, and TM who started late and DM who isn't playing this year - at more or less of the same point last season: (Note: I'm not counting LZ because she really hasn't played more than 3 or 4 days or so.) Last Year This Year
W-L E.R.A. Pts. FPPG W-L E.R.A. Pts. FPPG
-
PL 18-12 3.41 559 18.6 19-11 4.21 421 14.0
JL 23- 7 3.09 608 20.3 16-14 3.82 456 15.2
JG 21-10 2.95 573 18.5 15-16 4.49 339 10.9
SC 20- 9 3.29 551 19.0 15-11 4.18 359 13.8
TM 2- 2 3.50 52 13.0 21- 9 3.48 516 17.2
DM 19-10 3.49 528 18.2
DC 22- 8 3.66 479 16.0
CC 18-13 3.79 452 14.6
DB 20-10 3.96 436 14.5
GG 19-12 4.32 354 11.4Everyone who played both years is doing considerably worse this year (except for TM whose sample size is way too small), and the only players who are doing as well this season as we kinda did last season are maybe DC and CC.

I wanted the comparable period from last year, and you hadn't joined yet at this point. Using and comparing your first 30 or 31 games which came much later in the season would have been inaccurate, since you had a much greater body of work by each pitcher to go by and consider in making your selections. The fact that I don't like you has nothing to do with it. :p . . . . . . . . DON'T LIKE YOU???? How can you even suggest such an idea? You are my protege.....You will take over for me some day.....I'm trying to teach you everything about Fantasy Baseball that I know.

I got in touch with my contacts in Vegas and got an update on the odds of winning this thing. Here are the latest odds, along with the opening line: Opening Latest
-
PL 1334 3-1 3-1 Holding steady as top pick
DB 1340 9-2 7-2 Now the second choice
GG 1300 10-1 4-1 Has proven her skill
JL 1259 7-2 9-2 132 point deficit hard to make up
JG 1231 4-1 5-1 160 point deficit harder to make up
CC 1322 15-1 6-1 Fading after strong start
TM 1391 20-1 7-1 Still must prove he won't miss days
DC 1283 99-1 50-1 Caught on, but will he stay the course?
SC 1070 ---- 150-1 Late start makes win almost impossible
LZ 974 99-1 300-1 May not stay, and not playing anyway TM is probably a great bet at 7-1, if you believe he won't miss any days....he already has enough of a cushion to miss at least one day, anyway..... JL and JG might be worth a wager if you think they can come back..... PL and DB probably not worth the short odds when you consider how close the people behind them are..... And, finally, you can't go wrong putting a coupla bucks on SC at 150-1.....you never know, he might hit a massive hot streak..... Want better odds than 4-1 on GG and 6-1 0n CC foreither to be worth a bet.....
