Really the win was the result of a lucky speculation. Well, you played it smart and things broke the way you thought they would. That's just playing your hand perfectly is all. I, on the other side of the puck, really got pounded in this league near the end after burning through all my games prematurely. I'm not sure it would have made any difference however. But: mistakes were made!

I've always thought that the catcher was the only player that could be in foul territory when the pitch is thrown...but maybe I am mistaken.

I certainly wasn't saying that I wanted it. I was only confirming that I was futily trying to bail out the water until the last day of the season and that mathematical elimination can go fuck itself.

Minny Trax is the lowest ranked team that actually made moves up to the last day of the season. Fucking right! In your face, reality of defeat!

Then I got taken apart on the last day there too. (which I kind of should have seen coming because of my "throwing-everything-out-there-on-the-mound-that-could-throw-a-baseball" strategy) At least I made it interesting up to the end.

A few things I learned from this season: 1) Bill Hall is not as good as I thought 2) the autodraft doesn't know that Mark Pryor is washed up 3) its a lot easier to go from 3rd to 13th between seasons, than to go from 3rd to 1st 4) Damn, I got taken out behind the woodshed in this league!

I'm barely hanging on (in the top half of the standings) after starting out okay. The goalie troubles have not helped me much. Fernandez led me down the path to wishful thinking at the beginning of the year. And, is Gaborik made of glass or something? On the plus side, even though I've been handed a savage ass whipping the last two weeks, I'm still in the top half...

Your credibility is about as good as Aleksey Vayner's Actually, the litigation story is a cover for the secret martial arts tournament taking place in the Philippines where Vayner, Rcade, and Bell will fight to the death to settle things once and for all...

That SportsFilter suit... the lawyer didn't mention Greg Maddux, did he? Man, Maddux doesn't need to litigate, he just goes ahead and terminates the problem with extreme prejudice. (but I do think it was BullpenPro who said something defamatory and I will testify against him to that fact...so there).

Walter Johnson wasn't on a now-defunct team. He was on the Twins. As far as I can tell Washington Senators:Minnesota Twins::Brooklyn Dodgers:Los Angeles Dodgers, etc. But does everyone count the Senators as Twins like I do? Don't some people count the Senators as Rangers, or does that only apply to the Senators that played there post-1961? I always count the Senators/Twins as the same franchise, but maybe not everyone does. For the listed guys I would have to go: 1) Killebrew, 2) Puckett, 3) Carew, 4) Oliva, and 5) Hrbek. It is really hard to do for the top two guys, Killebrew and Puckett, because Puckett was absolutely worshipped here in Minnesota. The closest Killebrew came to winning the WS was in 1965, but Puckett was on two title winning teams. A game (for Puckett) like Game 6 of the 1991 WS can really go along ways toward making legendary status.

Batista was cuba's dictator before Castro. They also played third and short for the Twins this year before a DFA and a trade remedied that regime...there was celebration then too. I know that the magnetic yellow ribbon crowd doesn't like big words or history that doesn't include cartoon pictures of George Washington nuking the Soviet Union and Jane Fonda while an eagle soars above. Is this about that whole fucking chorizo thing?

An Easter carol, usually asking for an egg or two, would be recited by the boy while whipping. "When a problem comes along you must whip it Before the cream sits out too long you must whip it When something's going wrong you must whip it" Is that an Easter carol?
