Wow, I suck.

 

Not as much as me. :cry:

[Laura]

i had 1150. btw you had marquis' ERA wrong, it was 4.60 not 4.43.

 

That sucks.

 

Everyone can check their score and post their new one if it's different. I don't have the time or the energy to rescore everyone's entry.

Vance,

 

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but

 

You are amazing!!!

[Guest]

I'm pretty far down on the list but I'm not really interested in any of the packages - collecting stuff like this isn't really my thing - so you can just skip me or pick somebody else to claim mine. Doesn't really matter to me.

Aww come on! You don't want the BUNCH OF CRAP package?

[Chris]

Sorry for the delay. I'll go with the "no no" package.

 

Since I know that Rocket will appreciate it more than I will, just send me the cap and give him the Mercker card with whatever package he chooses. Thanks!

[wekse]

rocket is one lucky man, da Mercker is on your side!

[TruffleShuffle]

hopefully i stay sober this year and don't sleep through the deadline

[Guest]

Is it that hard for you to stay sober for one day out of the week to make your decisions? :wink:

 

EDIT: FTH? No smilies in the Events forum?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Has anyone heard from Texascub? I sent him a PM about his turn to choose, but I haven't heard from him yet.

[NCCubFan]

EDIT: FTH? No smilies in the Events forum?

For some reason you had "disable smilies" checked. I unchecked it, and now the smilie is there.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Describe the hats, Vance. I need more details in preparation for the pick I will be making several weeks from now...

When I respond to a post it says that BBCode is off which I assume is why it doesn't show any smilies. When I went to my User Control Panel, I have the option clicked to enable BBCode by default. Not sure why it does that. It's not a big deal since I rarely post in this forum anyway but it's odd.

If I get over my laziness, I'll post a pic at some point.

[Guest]

Sorry for the delay everyone. I'll take the Kerry Wood/Theriot package. PMing Vance my address right now.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I LOVE MATT MURTON!!!

[USSoccer]

I'll take the bunch of crap

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'll take the bunch of crap

 

PM me your address and I'll get it to you.

 

And everyone else who has chosen,

 

I should get your prizes mailed on Monday. My wife had surgery today and I'm a little behind getting everything done.
