Just for that, I may not play next year. you passed me in the standings!  if you do not play, I will not play too, and then someone else isn't gonna play too, and then it will be the end of Gangster BB fantasy sports. think about that  now, let's get to the point:  what a sad day  if I knew everybody was taking Zito, I'd just take him too. I was not trying to gain ground with an unpredictable PS or anything. and I got outscored by 29 pts.

No one could fault you for taking Kazmir, TM. He's been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball.
Be thankful you didn't take the -24 White Sox.

OK, I stand corrected. :rolleyes: You only missed the Atl-Ari DH. I agree with you about the Mets, BTW. AAMOF, I'll be out on the terrace doing my rain dance in a couple of hours.

Well here's what happened to me. I was waiting until late Thursday night to set my Friday game picks. Unfortunately when I got home, around 9:00 in that monsterous thunder and lightining storm, the power in my area was out, so obviously I was not able to access the internet on my home computer. Unfortunately the power did NOT return until the next morning, making it too late for me to set my lineup for that day. Then last night, I went out straight from work and did not get home until the middle of the night, totally unaware, until this morning, that the Mets/Giants game had been PPD because of rain and that a Double header would be played today. Again making it too late for me to go in and make changes to the lineup that I had set Friday morning for Saturday's games. This is my beef with this game. Why do other Fantasy Games allow you to set lineups up until game time, yet this one forces you to set your lineup, basically the day before, only giving you until 3:00 AM of game day?  You should be able to set your lineups up until game time. What happens if 2 hours before game time, a team anounces a change in starting pitchers, or decides to replace a player in their lineup? With this game you are screwed because being forced to submit your picks, basically the day before, the possibilty exists for you to be stuck with someone who was supposed to be a starter but was pulled at the last minute and re-placed with another player. To me, being forced to submit your picks for a game, almost a day in advance, or even 10 hours in advance, is not playing a game as close to real life as possible.  Don Cardi

We've discussed this every year, and pretty much all agree with you on that.

Saturday's Scores & Sunday's ProbablesOur four leaders - DB, PL, TM, and JL - played it smart.... They were aware of both DHs, knew about the weather conditions in NY, and wound up with the lowest four scores of the day. CC, who went to bed too early to catch the Atl-Ari DH, and JG who got home too late to catch it, made out better, and the four who didn't use either DH made out just fine. Just goes to show 'ya.....
DB 2942 ATL (-14) 30 2972 Cle Sabathia 5-2 1.71 15.7
PL 2861 ATL (-14) 41 2902 Cle
TM 2855 ATL (-14) 23 2878 Cle
JL 2821 ATL (-14) 49 2870 Hou Oswalt 6-6 3.11 9.3
JG 2750 SFO (45) 85 2835 Cle
CC 2510 NYM (26) 53 2563 Cle
DC 2402 LAD (29) 61 2463 StL Marquis 7-4 4.75 3.5
GG 2299 MIN (12) 55 2354 Min Silva 2-6 8.80 -7.8

What do you say about a day on which the top PS choice, Cleveland, registers a -29, and all of those smart enough to stay off of Cleveland manage a 13, a 6, a -19, and a -3? Well, each of us can say something positive….. DB is happy that his two closest pursuers also had Cleveland. PL is happy that he managed to shave another 4 points off of DB's lead, and is now as close to DB as he's been since May 8th. JL is happy that he stayed away from Cleveland, and even tho his Astros scored only 13, and his offense got hum a rousing 7, his 20 point total was the highest score among the leaders, and moved him into 3rd place, within 4 points of second place and 70 points of the lead. TM is happy that his offense scored 32, and his total score of 3 for the day still enabled him to gain ground on DB and PL/ CC is happy that she gained ground on JG. DC is happy that he gained ground on CC. GG is happy that she gained grond on the two people in front of her and the two people behind her. SC is happy that his -19 from the White Sox PS only cost him 20 points in his battle with GG. LZ doesn't really care anyway. and JG is happy that, um....JG is happy because he, er........Well, JG doesn't really have anything to be happy about I guess. He lost ground to everyone. Sunday's Scores & Monday's Probables
DB 2972 Cle (-29) -12 2960 Ari Webb 9-3 2.01 14.4
PL 2902 Cle (-29) -08 2894 Ari
