I've only been around for a couple of years, but this is easily the most entertaining and informative thread ever. This is like reading Doughboys stuff and getting it over and over and over, you never ever get tired of it. understatement

its hard to believe anyone would consider this guy.



In a report for the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Baxter says Omar Minaya will interview for the Angels General Manager position.

Originally posted by Navel Lint: While we wait…… Some Ed Walsh Stuff® Ed Walsh played 14 seasons, 13 with the Chicago White Sox and one final year with the Boston Braves.

Originally posted by Zazie: I've just read and re-read every post here, and I cannot find the reasons to believe that the winning strategy will be to set a price point at or above $1000.

it was great fun while it lasted

these are the biggest surprises to me Rd 1 12. Joey Votto- I think he goes earlier. He does it all. 14. Evan Longoria - With out SBs- I would pass in the 1st round. I suffered with him all year (until the 3 run hr) RD3 8. Eric Hosmer- Big risk here - I just don't see it. 11. Buster Posey- off very s...

Originally posted by Zazie: I also have a team that lost half a point, and therefore split prize money, with someone else -- also caused by that Longoria hr. I wonder just how many changes that Yankee bullpen collapse caused to NFBC standings. Next year, we need to disallow stats from extra-innings ...

Glad- I am playing against you in one of those OC leagues and I elected not to stream because I didn't want to take the whip risk.

Originally posted by Hells Satans: I'm with you and your hatred Glenn. I had Strasburg and Lilly going last night, one in a Super, one in an Ultimate, both needing Wins desparately.

Apple II tablet = Ipad 2. (Sack PC'd the name).
