Sox won, Giants and Phillies lost... 1.5 GB of Giants for the 2nd pick 3 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

I am not worried, due to his exceptional strikezone judgement. With more reps, I feel like he will become more aggressive and make better contact. It's hard to have the type of elite zone recognition that he is displaying.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) We are 1.5 GB of the Phillies. Phillies own the tiebreaker with us, so we have to be WORSE than them to have a better draft pick. Opposite situation with the Giants. Giants win, Sox and Phillies lose. 0.5 games AHEAD of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

I did NOT play Gillislee..who got 22 on my bench. But I DID start Patroits defense! Who got me -2.6..... so...awesome start for me.

I tried doing my best friend a solid by changing his keeper from the default QB spot (Matt Ryan) to his best player (Antonio Brown) while he was on his honeymoon. I knew he was going to miss the draft, so I figured I could at least assign him the right keeper so he wouldn't get screwed over in that regard (he turned his phone off for the week). Well, turns out he actually WANTED to keep Matt Ryan over Antonio Brown for some reason, and he wanted him back.... If you can see where this is going.... I traded Matt Ryan and Tyrell Williams to him for Antonio Brown. He said he needed a WR back, since if he kept Ryan, the auto-pick would have drafted him another WR instead of Phillips Rivers, so since Rivers was drafted in the 12th RD, I traded him a WR of mine drafted in a round closest to 12, which was Tyrell Williams in the 9th RD. So yea....pretty rough trade for him. A trade in which I even argued with him that Brown was a way better keeper selection than Matt Ryan. Hell, even Mike Evans was a way better keeper choice if he didn't have Brown. I've already gotten one angry text calling for collusion and conspiracy. I'll add that in my defense, other than trying to convince him he was better off with Brown, was that I had offered Matt Ryan to about 5 other teams in trades. He was very much on my trading block, as I also have Marcus Mariotta.

I was friends with both of them before they even met each other, and I already asked a month or so ago if it was ok if the gift was just for him, and they said it was cool since all the wedding shower s*** was stuff she wanted. He teared up when he got to the Randy Johnson ball. And the Dbacks still haven't lost since the wedding.

Sox and Phillies lose. 0.5 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

Giants won, Sox and Phillies lose. 1 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

2 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 5, 2017 -> 06:52 PM) Lack of ticket sales? They did a completely horrendous job promoting it. Yeah, I don't really know, they have yet to say anything about why it's been cancelled. Either lack of tickets or maybe Macklemore somehow couldn't do it anymore. No idea. Really bummed though. I've seen Macklemore twice already, but I've never had the chance to see Lupe yet and I was super stoked to cross him off my list. Really bummed.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 2, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) Joe....some context, perhaps? I'm the best Best Man of all time, and the Dbacks are an enormously generous organization for responding to an email asking for a simple Goldschmidt autograph.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 10:24 PM) Seriously, stop counting games back and watch the win column. We have won 1 game more than the Phillies, 1 game fewer than the Giants. That's where we really sit. If I am not mistaken, standings are based on winning %, not just team wins. Soo....yes, I will continue to count both, as both as needed to determine standings, and thus draft order.

If the Giants win, the White Sox will take back the #2 pick. The Phillies will still lead the 1st pick by 2.5 games... WE CAN DO THIS!

The Dbacks ALSO sent the signed line-up card for the day of the wedding, with a congrats and a "Thanks for the win". Arizona hasn't lost a game since the wedding.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Been talking about it for years...finally pulled the trigger and cut the cord. Bought some Apple TV units, a few HDTV antennas, ordered a faster modem, bumped up internet speed to 100 mbs, signed up for Sling TV Orange + Blue with the Sports adder, Netflix, HBO Now, MLB At Bat, and may also do NFL Game Pass. Only downside is I won't be able to watch full Bears games live...have to rely on Red Zone channel and then if I get Game Pass, I can watch the full game on demand. Any reason why you didn't choose to save several hundreds of dollars and just get Chromecasts instead?

Choosing my keeper for my league... 0.5 pt PPR. I have to keep Melvin Gordon over Tom Brady, right? Especially with Edelman out, I feel like Gordon is much safer. Elliot would have been my obvious pick if he wasn't suspended.

Pretty dope wedding gift, huh? Customized jersey, handwritten card by Luis Gonzalez, and autographed balls from Luis Gonzalez, Justin Upton, Paul Goldschmidt, AJ Pollock, and of course, Randy Johnson.

Eloy is 2/3, 2B, HR so far. AVG back up to .340 in AA.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 11:21 PM) Do you have anything in mind? As far as the Model 3: Musk always pits them against the A4, BMW 330i, but it really feels more like these cars are RWD (faster) Acura TSX's. Very nice in their own right, but that interior leaves a lot to be desired, especially with no added options. The big tablet is fine, but no speedometer on the dash is a little strange and the rest of the interior looks nice BUT stark. Lack of instrument cluster is really the only thing I really wanted in the interior. Or a HUD. Otherwise, the bare look doesn't bother me.

$1M? Well that's a let down. Even a random minor leaguer has a chance to be worth more than $1M at some point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Fat Joe is still alive and rapping? Apparently. I really just care about seeing Macklemore, Lupe, maybe DNCE, and I am hoping/wondering if Chance will show up since not only is there a gap in his tour schedule, but he's obviously a Chicago boy and he hosted MCD last year. Probably won't get Kanye or Common again, but I can see Chance there for sure. Plus, they have a song together on Macklemore's last album....

I honestly didn't even know there was another music fest this year, but I woke up and tried to check out prices on Macklemore's new tour and I noticed he suddenly had a Chicago date on there, and it was for this music fest. "Lineup: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Lupe Fiasco Fifth Harmony Prince Royce DNCE Fat Joe Jeremih Carl Thomas Felix da Housecat …and special surprise guests!" https://www.isfauthority.com/concerts-event...n-it-musicfest/ I've always wanted to see Lupe, who was my favorite in High School, so I'm glad I'll get the chance. Just like the Chance festival I went to last year, I really only care about a couple of these artists, but still, the experience will be worth the $50 ticket. My seats are in section 544.

Alex Call is hitting .344 over his last 11 days (including tonights 1 for 1).
