Famous People Name Game With Pro Sports Players...

Bryce (OMG-he-hit-2HR-in-first-2-AB) Harper

Bryce Brown...

Gates Brown. one of the better pinch hitters of all time...former Detroit Tiger of the mid-to-late '60s to mid-'70s.

(I had to look up Bryce Brown and found out that he's a 21-yr-old rookie running back with the Eagles with huge upside potential.)

Josh Brown...

I am almost positive he was a very talented Negro League Pitcher...

Yes Bryce...They never ran with McCoy last year because Andy did not run...never really did...Then McCoy got hurt, and I think Bryce went for over 200 against the Cowboys with like 3 touchdowns...

It was something like 200 and 3, or 250 and 2...can't remember...but I think he ran for the 250 scenario...

Josh Gibson, famous Negro league catcher (called by many the black Babe Ruth)

Kirk Gibson...

That is honestly probably the man I was thinking about...I am not sure...Thanks Rags...

I believe that Josh Brown is a kicker for the NY Giants

Kirk McCaskill, '80s-'90s pitcher

Kirk Hinrich


LMAO...yeah! With a name like Josh Brown...almost a given a pro had played somewhere!

There is definitely a kicker somewhere in football named that...

The last I knew I think he was in St. Louis...but kickers bounce like closers do...

Josh Brown, the kicker, has been kicking around:

Seattle Seahawks (2003–2007)
St. Louis Rams (2008–2011)
New York Jets (2012)*
Cincinnati Bengals (2012)
New York Giants (2013–present)

I did not know or remember he was on the Jets...Perhaps my next question answers why...was he signed but never played? Or signed but released?

Not too bad so far for your first week against a solid fantasy team! ...

I did not know that Lincecum started tonight, but he did pretty decent...for what he has been...5 inn pitched...7 walks...but it is not that bad...no runs...4 k's...no earned runs...2.00 whip, which means he only gave up 3 hits...

as long as he gets his confidence back he will be OK...

Josh Reddick, OF for Oakland A's

Re Lincecum: I'm really glad to have gotten him. I even watched him on TV. He did start to get a blister on his index finger on his pitching hand. His stuff looks awesome, though...pitching down in the strike zone and away from the hitters. Even though last season he got turned upside down, he was amazing in relief in the World Serious. I think he's going to earn his keep on my roster.

I wonder why my SP Price's 6 IP the other day are not showing up in my stats. Something seems screwy with that. "David Price did not figure in the decision after allowing two earned runs in six innings."

I think I've lucked out with my Starting Pitchers, so far. Hitters look decent enough...but it's so early. Let's see how things develop. Having a 10-person-league sure distributes some pretty decent talent around.

I agree...

Reply Price...

What stats do you see for Price? He got a ND because Jake McGee blew the game for him...

If you go to Stattracker on you own my team page in the league...it shows all updated stats...

I see his stats on the stattracker...

It should auto update them...

Josh Willingham...

Josh Beckett

Thanks for the info. In some categories Price's stats show up, but in others it doesn't.

Josh Hamilton....

Yeah, sometimes it lags, but it should auto update...you are welcome...Stattracker is a good way to see semi-live updates of the games and players too...

Dougie Hamilton -- broonz rookie phenom

Doug Clark...Baseball

Ha Ha Broonz...

That is more bruunzz

Than Bruin...

Maybe Brooinz?



How come you do not do fantasy mate? No interest?

Dallas Clark

(i've been known to assist jespah with her Skinny Pups from time to time...)

Dallas Braden...

Thats right mate...I remember you saying that before...
