QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) God Robin is quiet. Your first time on the air is brutal. You don't want to say something stupid, so you do something even worse and say nothing.

Can anyone do PBP? The game isn't on the radio.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Well, is that not how a long shot is defined? What are we supposed to go by the baseball "experts" who are picking us 3rd also? Same scenario. I would tend to believe what the "experts" say way more than the influence of a bunch of lemmings. Its the same idea that makes it appear that Nsync was a good band because they sold more records than about anyone else.

For all who are interested join ASAP. The draft time seemed like the best one that the most people were off. There are no Saturday times, Sunday at 9 am, and the weekdays only have times before 4 pm. If we can;t get enough people, we can always do an autodraft if we have to do so. Sign up if you like, PM or post any questions. If we don't have enough realistic interest, I'll just delete the league.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Life as you know it has ceased to exist. Its been 2 weeks and a day since we found out initally, and it has already begun.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) do what i did for football, create multiple usernames (had 4 )... will create league. im a noob to fantasy baseball so will basically keep yahoo defaults so if people want things changed then just post so. or hook me up on aim/yim... Oh yeah, duh

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) First I hear about Buerhle, now you remnind me that my kid's gonna be a TEENAGED GIRL someday waaaaay too soon.....you tryin' to KILL ME?????? Just enjoying every minute right now. Not thinking about that other stuff.... Wait you mean that kids are work? Why didn't anyone tell me this before???

Off topic... Anyone have any idea what # Bmac will sport for the Sox this year??? I think I am going to look into getting a jersey done.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) im in... I was going to create another league, but I am at my max. I guess you can only have 4 Yahoo teams If someone else wants to run with it, have at it. This late I would just post the info for the league.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) Odds from the web site I use. 2005 American League Central Champion Chicago White Sox 5-1 Cleveland Indians 5-2 Detroit Tigers 6-1 Kansas City Royals 30-1 Minnesota Twins 2-3 This puts 2 teams with better odds to win, while maybe not the longshot, def. not a favorite. That's Vegas odds, and they suck. All that is, is a popularity contest. The odds can be driven by a bunch of dopes who bet on teams who have no chance. The Cubs odds used to be insane just based on the idiots who put their money down because "this is the year" even when they were losing 100 games.

I am glad to hear the leaders on the team saying these things. Hopefully this holds up.

QUOTE(Cali @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) I had given up all hope that it was going to come. I was suprised as hell when it was sitting in my mailbox. I just went back and looked, and you sent me the PM about not being there yet, on Feb 12th, so it had to be a week or more before that, that I sent it. I wonder where the hell that thing was for almost two months????

QUOTE(Cali @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) One of the few. And quickly off-subject I randomly got my sox wristband from you a couple days ago. I totally thought it was lost in the mail. A pleasent surprise indeed. Wow, you're kidding. It has been like 6-8 weeks since I mailed that thing. I completely thought it was lost in the mail. You can't beat the USPS

Cali, I totally agree with you on ND, that was horrible.

It must be Jon Garland Fever

Todd Helton has come under the microscope now...

MLBPA decides to have suspensions only for first offenses

QUOTE(Cali @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) I can just see McCarthy setting up banana peels in the outfield. "Hey Mark you wanna shag some flyballs?" Then tenting his fingers like Mr. Burns.... Excellent

QUOTE(beck72 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) BMac is being asked to be the #5 SP, not the #1 Very good point. So if he can go out and give us 6 IP and 4 ER a start, he will be way ahead of what we were getting last year out of the 5th starter spot.

QUOTE(SAVVY18 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand that. I don't know about that, but I love your new Avy...Office Space RULES!!!

I finally watched Saw this weekend, and was greatly disappointed. I can deal with the pointless gore, but to be frank, the plot sucked. SPOILERS alertS!!!!! When you thought it was the orderly that was doing everything at least it made sense. But when they twisted it to be the terminal cancer patient, that didn't make any sense at all. Why would a guy torture his doctor? Maybe if you include the thing where he didn't know the guys name, but if that is what made him so mad, why would he include the orderly who was sticking up for the patient? Stupid.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) If this happeneds, Garland is the odd man Out.. Who the hell (other than KW) is going to trade for a Pitcher who is only "on" 1/2 the time, that makes 8 mil a year? NO ONE .. IMO.. Garland on the other hand has alot of upside, being young and cheap. Unless we include some good tier prospects, he is gone. Garland has a couple of things working for him. #1 he makes half of what Contreras does and #2 he is at least consistant, especially when you compare him to what Jose does.

Speaking of Chicago movies, anyone know what is being shot right now around Wabash/VanBurean/Jackson right now?

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) We should bring Kevin Walker up and put Cotts in AAA to stretch out his arm for starting. Agree with you totally. I wanted Neal in the pen over Walker before, but right now we need back up options for starters just in case something happens to Contreras or Hernandez, or if BMac gets killed at the major league level.
