Geoff remains settled in 2nd.

...but I'm losing some ground on 1st cuz my catcher went down Tuesday

I really need to try this one out next time I'm upset.

Wow, Geoff, looks like you're doing great! This is overall we're talking about?!

How is everyone doing, and how are you guys liking weekly as opposed to daily?

Sign up, gina!!!!

It IS a lot of fun and will be MORE fun with you playing!

GINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where you been girl?

Congrats on your Astros. They're doing great.

I've been watching Luke Scott for you, as promised. He's doing rather well.

yes, gina, sign up!!! I would agree that we do the math based on your average pts and add up to the weeks you missed!

and yes, it's overall we're talking about. the Don must be on steroids

and in my opinion this weekly game is nowhere near as fun as the daily mode. I'm playing the daily where I'm not only doing better but having a lot more fun. JG's rise to the top of the leaderboard is keeping everyone interested and our league has good competition but I still like daily.

Hey guys!! I missed talking to all of you!

Bethie, thanks so much for watching Luke. My friend is furious with the Astros for not only trading her man but also giving him the traditional post-Astros blessing to do better than he did with us. haha

I just recently finished up finals, so now I'm out for the summer and done with my first year of college. Things are a lot less busy now, so I hope to have more time for baseball and for the BB!

I've hardly even kept up with the Astros, so I've unfortunately been completely out of the loop with general baseball happenings. I really appreciate the invites, but I think I'll just keep a close eye on you guys to make sure you behave.

TM, so are you doing weekly here and daily in another group? Daily was always so hard for people to keep up with and stay dedicated to, but I think I'd like the style better. Hey, either way, it's a chance to whine and trash talk about baseball, which is always good.

Hi Gina!!

I've been so busy this year that daily would've been literally impossible. But seeing how I'm doing in Weekly, I think it's terrific!

You should sign up - it doesn't take nearly as much time.

This one's for your friend. It seems Luke is pointing up to her, thanking her for her support.

Our don is still hanging tough (and in 2nd place). I think he actually picked up some points on the first placed hatted one. One more night of this and then we see what happens.

Hang tough, Geoff.

I stink.

I'm surprised by your poor showing (so far), JL.

The season is still young and there's plenty of time to catch up.

I seem to have 1 very good week, followed by an awful one.

In that regard, this game is not as forgiving as the daily game (you pay more for a "bad pick" here).

I vote for daily next year.

I haven't checked this league all week, but I just did to make sure I'm still in last and I realized Doumit was hurt. Every catcher I pick gets hurt. So I'm just letting everyone know Joe Mauer is my pick for next week. He'll be hurt my tuesday at the lastest.

This weekly game certainly doesn't have the vitality (and board fun) of the daily game BUT its about all I wanna make time for.

Actually, I agree with you about that SC.

I'm struggling making picks again this week (too much pressure lol)... Cockcroft took the Rays PS (not a typo!) and I'm like... ehhhh... do I copy him to try and stay in the race, or do I try to find a sleeper?

It's so much easier being last

Cockcroft is busy being a weatherman. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I'm surprised he's going with a team pitching only six games.

I was thinking about BoSox again, but that makes me nervous. When did they get that stinky Colón? Rays make me nervous, too - are they for real or a fluke?

If I copy him w/ the Rays and concentrate on batters maybe I can stay in the race...

argh!

You're playing a different game from the rest of us. You're playing a game of "staying-close-to-number-one".

Just out of curiosity, how do you know Cockcroft picked the Rays??

I've wondered if it's worth it to go with a players who's on a hot streak even if he's playing 6 days, or if it's always better to pick someone else with more days.

Someone like Lance Berkman who has been playing ridiculously well might score more points in less days that someone else.

I've left players in with only 6 days, if that means anything

yes gina I'm playing the daily game with another entry in some leagues like "Sandlot Legends" from the BBC message board geeks. you don't even really have to join a league to play this game, though.

I was going with the Red Sox PS but I just loved his Rays PS pick. cheap and good. he's the guy who writes the articles at BBC's frontapge, SC. that's how we know his whole team in advance.

look out below, I'll be rolling next week!

Somehow I'm still #2, but DA had an incredible week with 413 pts! (a point more than Cockcroft)

Damn... I know it's just Day 1 of the week, but I was toying with Boston PS (Lester: no-hitter) but aped Cockcroft's Rays (5-5 in the 10th currently)... man... well, we'll see at weeks' end I guess!

Rays ended up with 24 w/ extra innings win... whew!

Gained a bit on Cockcroft... nerve-wracking...!

Where is the nearest crazy house Geoff? I want to know where to visit you by the time this league is over.

Pfft, by July I'll be #12324 or something...

After 10 years I've NEVER been able to sustain anything. And the year we go weekly, when I'm too busy to barely pay attention, and this?? Now my choices are even more important than ever before?? lol
