BL, don't forget the all-important pointless PS contest. Yeah, I almost added to my total two days ago, but alas, Oakland scored one point for me. I guess we could start a "I'm number one" contest, but I don't have the energy. And that would be getting ridiculous!

Jeter goes 0 for 5 and gets me no points? I'm not liking it, SB. Even if he is cute. Excuse me????? What were you thinking? Did I just read some Jeter trashing, or did I imagine it?? Gina, you broke my heart, you broke my heart.

BL, we need to get creative with this game. How about we dare each other to take a particularly dangerous pitching staff, perhaps once a week, and the gamble is which day we choose to take them. Who will get screwed over the most??
SB, I just wanted to lure you back into this thread. You're our ray of sunshine amid our grumpy rants and annoying whines, and it was the only surefire way I could get your attention. I never meant to hurt you!
By the way, at the dentist's office today, I think I saw three separate ads involving Jeter in the SI magazine I read. Of course, I thought of you.

Who will get screwed over the most?? I say that if, by the end of the second segment, we are a long way from first place then this sounds like a great idea! Maybe we can work out the rules over the next few weeks. Like maybe we have to pick a pitcher with a 5.00 ERA or worse. Maybe we have to choose the pitching staff for the other person. Something like that... I like you're idea though!

TRIVIA TIME:
What pitcher has the most losses in a season, in which he won the Cy Young Award?
Who is the only pitcher to post a losing record for a season, in which he won the Cy Young Award? I guess this question wasn't too good. Gaylord Perry had 16 losses when he won the award, and Eric Gagne had a 2-3 record, but 55 saves. Can anyone tell me what the following pitchers have in common? Don Larsen, Denny McLain, Red Ruffing, Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts, Cy Young, Phil Niekro and Luis Tiant. There are many others who share this common feature about them. This common feature was more prevalent among players in the first 40-50 years of baseball, and fewer pitchers in today's game acquire this commonality although it still occurs from time to time. Niekro wasn't probably too upset by it, but Larsen probably wasn't too happy. Bonus: The following also have something in common. In fact there are a total of 377 major leaguers, who can claim this common trait. The youngest with this trait is Val Majewski, who played briefly in 2004. The oldest is Wes Fisler, who had a carrer average of over .300. Thus, what do Johnny Vander Meer, Andy Messersmith, Sean Casey, Al Downing, John Montefusco, Rick Cerone, as well as Hall of Famers Goose Goslin and Ducky Medwick, have in common?

So the first one is something acquired? And the second involves celebrities and even our own JG...so how can it connect with ballplayers?? Hmmmmm. Edit: My guess is it has something to do with being born in or having lived in New Jersey. (Thanks to Wikipedia confirming a few...  )

Edit: My guess is it has something to do with being born in or having lived in New Jersey. (Thanks to Wikipedia confirming a few...  ) Bingo! All those players (and other people listed) were born in New Jersey. Final clue for the first question: The active player who has this thing in common is Mike Maroth. There was a good bit of publicity surrounding him when he acquired this. The last pitcher before him to join this group was Brian Kingman in the early-80s.

To lose 20 games in a season Klydon? Yes, indeed. Here's another with a hint...All of these have something in common, but it is not a common birth place although birth place is relevant. They are Rafael Palmeiro, Luis Aparicio, Larry Walker, Bobby Thomson, Pete Rose, Vinny Castilla, Andruw Jones, Roberto Clemente, Larry Walker, Ichiro Suzuki and Julio Franco. Perhaps after next year Aparicio may no longer have the common trait, but a present SF Giant could join the list then.
