  1. Woo-hoo infield single Slap Nasty! :)
  2. Nice work, Z. :D Let's see some offense now!
  3. Hmmm...well, if nothing else, it's an encouraging sign that rumors are coming out that he's signed one. Let's see if it actually ends up happening.
  4. Hundred bucks? I can see blowing 20 or something, but a hundred???
  5. MLB.com Gameday for me today - no Comcast Sportsnet in Muncie :(
  6. It's great for me. I've never had it but I've heard rave reviews from everyone who has. So long as you're not in the Chicagoland area for them to black the games out (which you clearly aren't) it appears to be a great service.
  7. Standings are now correctly updated. It seems there was a slight typo in the spreadsheet that had XZero receiving credit for the homeruns hit by a non-existent player 924 rather than 24 which was Pujols. :P
  8. As of the end of games of Friday 4/7/06: (I'll provide updates at the end of the games of every Tuesday and Friday from now on so long as everyone wants them) 17 XZero 16 ndistops Garwilly TrueBlueCubFan 15 Sherwood921 Mizzou J-Shils 14 Vance Rocket TheDude Truffle UMFan83 13 Serena Transmogrified Tiger Outshined bukie SeldomSeen Roast reggiemiller rules 12 DJaxx Bob's Keeper Cubbies75 Pistolcub42 Jd6762 IMB Soccer10k DCNashville Southpaw19 sethuel1 Treeman wade 11 NCCubbieFan Aramis Fan rawaction Jazz Vinestal Marco4 10 Scott GF MrWood tadowdaddy Dobson 9 Mark Prior's Calves Mark_R otis89 SouthSideRyan Guancous 8 Joe Cub HHHBK21 sandberg23 7 KarenMac HawkCub Derwood Ublink 6 CubsinNC cubfanfromoz Edited - XZero's B-1 read 924 in the spreadsheet (non-existent) instead of 24 (Pujols). Also edited to record Serena's prior switch from Hermida to Thome for her bonus player.
  9. Andy

    Yes - but did he have amazing leaping ability?
  10. Or Hairston. I figure Walker will be back in the lineup.

    Maddux

    I'm closer to TT's side here. It WAS refreshing to see Maddux get all those ground balls, but there were at least 3 balls that would've been out without any wind. He certainly looked better than most of last year, and if he can cut down on those home run balls he will be an above-average 4th starter behind Z, Prior and Wood later in the year.
  12. Yeah there are a hundred of these threads, but I'm intensely curious, mainly because shortly after this draft, one of the other league members told me that he thought I had by far the best team in the league. Categories are Runs, Home Runs, RBI, Stolen Bases, Walks, Strikeouts, On-Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage for hitters, and Wins, Losses, Saves, Home Runs Allowed, Strikeouts, Holds, ERA, WHIP, and K/BB Ratio for pitchers. There are 10 teams in the league. C - Michael Barrett 1B - Carlos Delgado 2B - Jorge Cantu 3B - Hank Blalock SS - Michael Young IF - Nick Johnson LF - Jason Bay CF - Milton Bradley RF - Chad Tracy OF - Dmitri Young Util - Chris Shelton Util - Jay Gibbons Bench - Ronnie Belliard Bench - Placido Polanco Bench - Matt Murton (went undrafted in 4 of my 5 leagues, was picked up off FA wire) SP - Jake Peavy SP - Carlos Zambrano SP - John Smoltz SP - Cliff Lee RP - Francisco Cordero RP - Chad Cordero RP - Ryan Dempster RP - Jose Valverde P - Jon Garland P - Joe Blanton P - Jeff Weaver Bench - Paul Bryd Bench - Aaron Harang
  13. If I'd thought there was any risk of him being drafted before then I would have, but my league is a bunch of idiots. :D
  14. Eric, How is it being such a highly touted prospect right off the bat? I can't imagine so much attention being placed on my every move like it is for you Cubs prospects! Also, were you at all frustrated with general fan sentiment towards your brother Corey during his struggles last season with the team? I know we as fans are often unnecessarily harsh on one of our guys if they are struggling and I've always wondered how it feels to be on the other side. Thanks a lot for your time, we are ALL rooting for you! Andy
  15. Furcal got the day off so I'm still stuck at 0. :( It's Mark Ellis tomorrow, then Murt on Sunday night to start a new streak.
  16. If the Cubs just plain lose, I act like a close relative just passed away for about an hour, then I'm good. But if the bullpen blows it or it ends on a stupid blunder or a Neifi GIDP or the like...oh, things get thrown.
  17. 24 Cardinals are classy. The rest are named Jim Edmonds.
  18. If you can't get your business done in 5 minutes, you probably have more problems than the hot water in the showers.
  19. Andy

    Good. Hopefully we'll see those bastards in the national championship game next April. I could be reaching here, but it seems like you might not be over Monday's game yet.
  20. I'll miss the end of this one as I'll be visiting family. :( Hopefully the Cubs have it nailed down by 4:00 ET.
  21. You and me both.
  22. Scoreboard-watching: Philadelphia, Indiana and Milwaukee ALL lost tonight. Milwaukee next plays red-hot New Jersey, while Indiana next plays Detroit on the road. A Bulls win over Philly on Saturday could well lead to being 1/2 out of the 6th spot when we wake up Monday morning.
  23. Andy

    The more I think about it, the more I think the Bulls are picking Brandon Roy. They love picking guys with a lot of college experience, and Roy was a solid player who has a decent upside.
  24. Wolf, you have got to keep that sig going for as long as possible! At least until you come to the realization that they both suck. Hey, Marquis can hit. Unfortunately, he can't pitch.
