Think of me... I thought I was outwqitting everybody by getting both Russel Martin and Johjima!


... and I got Tulo off waivers to counter Michael Young's slump!

Before anyone feels too sorry for FB, he is the reigning champ multi years running...

My sympathies, FB :wink:

Oh, but me, think of me! I sold off Matt Holliday and just today, Roy Oswalt.
I haven't learned patience. Yet. Oswalt may have a similar transformation from my action as did Holliday.

Just go ahead and drop all of your originally drafted players and get it over with.

Very possible ... but he does have that bicep issue he's dealing with.

I've been being patient with my team. Too patient? I haven't a clue. There's one or two players I want to drop, but, I just know the day I drop them, they're going to become superstars. It is difficult to be one hundred percent all knowing of who is going to play that day of a game. I've watched the six o clock sports telecast, moved players accordingly, and then watched the team go abracadabra. It's all fun. (until I'm in last)

That would be "George." He and his family live in Boston. There was a hastily arranged A2K gathering there last May that coincided with graduation ceremonies from Harvard or MIT. My hotel was nice but a long way from downtown. He offered to be my driver.
That was much appreciated by me, but when we match-up I am going to kick his butt.

Alex, do you know to look at the player's past history? Not that that stopped me, Ms. Impatienza, League Leader in Moves last I looked, but it might temper your decision.

Mmmm, George aced the Dogeared Ones out. Neato opponent, though.

Osso, there is a sequin covered dixie cup to be passed on at the end of the season. The WaiverCup.

I will look forward to passing it on to you.

It was my only true reward, as George benched his team to tie me in the playoffs as a gentlemanly gesture.

RJB, how many butts you kicked so far?

Um, none. But my first three opponents have been girls. Being the true Virginia gentleman that I am I have been...
Actually my team sucks.
This is not looking good.

I noticed things were looking better, Johnboy.. indeed we were real close until the last day, I think. After you work out your moves on the gurls you'll be well ready for the boys..

The graffitti on the stall in the boy's room in a middle school read "I like grils." Someone crossed out "grils" and wrote "girls." Above it someone wrote: "What about us grils?"

Quoting, Oswalt regains form.

Oh, good, glad he's better now. Go for it, whoever is up on waivers.
