I can’t imagine leaving my kids alone at a show to pick them up later, and if someone offered to drive them somewhere their motives would be questioned.

I remember meeting him at a baseball card show 28 years ago. I was 7 years old. I had no idea who he was. Signatures were $5.00 for signed photos and only $3 for a signature on a ball (if you brought your own). I also remember distinctly there was a very nice conditioned Mickey Mantle rookie selling...

Originally posted by Chest Rockwell: I did not grow up with much. Every once in a while someone would help us out and those made some pretty special memorable moments. In 5th grade a wealthy family member was determined to give me a fantastic bday party. The only catch due to logistics I could only ...

His K/BB ratio so far this year is similar to his career K/BB ratio. I see a huge turnaround

Not sure if this is gonna be a 10 page thread like last year.

How about



Dickey- Harden?

Originally posted by TOXIC ASSETS: How great would it be that somebody pays $16,000 for the card and then the guy turns out to do nothing over his career. And the card is then worth nothing. How many better options are there to spend $16,000!!! What's crazy/stupid about the card market is that Randy...

Got it. We'll talk to IT and see if we can get this developed. Wow. Next time I have an idea for improvement on the website I'll just have Quahogs mention it so it gets done.

Originally posted by High Octane Baseball: Holy crapola Carlos Villanueva just went for $326 with a runner up bid of $123 in my league. I felt bad for getting Vargas for 48 with a runner up of 1 and Carlos Silva for 24 and no runner up...but i feel better now..lol I was lucky to get Villanueva for $...

I have Google Chrome downloaded. But when I do a search for a player it only allows me to type one or two letters before the letters erase. Very annoying. And still can't figure out why it still defaults to catchers. Just way too many buttons to press for simple functions. 2 start pitcher page doesn...

Originally posted by Sebadiah23: Once the novelty wore off, Laura and Jack realized their son was not merely pitching in the major leagues, but excelling. Ely pitched a combined 12 2/3 innings over his next two starts, allowing three earned runs and no walks while striking out 13. All this despite a...

I knew most of the hype/dollars were going towards Holland but thought John Ely has a better chance to succeed in LA. I thought Ely with 3 straight quality starts to his credit compared to Holland's 1, mixed in with him pitching in the National League and 1/2 his games in LA, I think Ely has a bette...

Originally posted by Trash Man: Here is another one and maybe mentioned somewhere else: When clicking on a stat category in the FAAB pool it always sorts min to max instead of max to min. Should only have to click once instead of twice. Not huge - just a common sense / annoying type of thing. agreed...

Originally posted by whipsaw:

Any Randy Wells owners out there? Wells owner here, as well as a Derek Lowe owner...ouch.

Scott Feldman - 4 innings - 10 hits - 7 earned



Clayton Kershaw - 1.1 innings - 5 hits - 7 earned



Gavin Floyd - 6 innings - 13 hits - 6 earned



I'm glad none of them are on my team. Especially Kershaw. Brutal.

70 points in pitching?

Maybe by the all-star break? Hopefully it's in the works. Not sure why it's so tough to show up and down arrows on individual cats for live scoring. Still waiting with no word.

Originally posted by Ryan Carey:

Anyone surprised by the words in the title of this thread??? Yeah, his name is spelled correctly. Wow!

Why can't we see a list of the cats with up and down points for the day? It's pretty frustrating seeing a point total and have no clue which categories we went up and down in.

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: Once the free agent list loads, you can sort by category or go to other positions in a split second. If you are still looking for All Players, that can be found under the Players pulldown. Just pull down to All Players and load there. If you are looking for 7 Day...

Looks great. Getting better and better. Hey Greg. 3 biggies for me. Free agent ranking, the ability to see 2 start free-agent pitchers for the upcoming week, and be able to see when my starting pitchers are pitching (by Wednesday under set lineup you can only view Fri-Sun games) Keep up the good wor...

Also, another important point. Live Scoring. If I go up or down in any points during the day, it's nice to know which points from which cats are affected. Make the Live Scoring look like the awesome League Standings Page complete with up and down arrows for each cat for up to the minute updates and ...
