Ok, just wanted to make sure a predicted death can be taken advantage of.

What happens to a stock when the character dies?

Rudo, I am in with the Lost Exchange, email me the stuff at [email protected].

This was the episode I was waiting for. I knew Hurley would bring everyone's spirits up at some point, thus making the inevitible downfall that much more awesome. (Also the reason I think Hurley dies first). Lost being preempted for a fucking 2 hour Bachelor proves there is no god. (well, if Lost was on Fox it would have been cancelled already, so there is some minor god on our side)

Lidle seemed to get straightened out late in the season, apparently he changed something to get his sinker working. And only allowed 4 HRs in his last 68 1/3 IP. If he is going to keep the ball in the yard, I don't mind having him.

I can live with the Lidle signing. He put it together at the end of the year and signed on the cheap, leaving room to get a top flight pitcher coughClementcough. They just need to pull their offer to Milton before it is too late.

I fail to see the problem with that considering everyone else were the ones to blow that whole thing out of proportion.

Wouldn't that be a plus in favor of voting for Vlad, since he got to the playoffs with an inferior team? BTW, how many people would have predicted a tie between Mark Kotsay and A-rod for MVP at the beginning of the year?

I was more offended by the fact they had George Fucking Lopez in the booth during the game. That is what timeouts, quarter breaks and halftime are for.

My problem with drafting individual defense is that, for CBs in particular, the best players won't have stats because the opponents won't throw/run their way. One question: Am I the only one who sees no problem with how things are currently?

I just think you are trying way too hard with the stats. If this was all brought on by the mention that WRs get buried, WRs get buried in every league, that is how the stats play out. As for that system, I think INTs are too much at -5 as well as sacks at -3. And I think the defensive points allowed is just stretching way to much. You should not lose you matchup just because your D had a bad day (and -45 is a death sentence).

Because 35 of those steals, apparently, came with noone on and Thome up to bat.

/\ And we have a contender for the "phrases you did not think you would say at the beginning of the year" trophy.

I would discount Manning and Culpepper. They are just having ridiculous seasons.

You would think so, but you know the Philly relationship with Abreu.

Ok, I just looked at the full voting for the first time and Abreu's spot is just absurd. Getting stomped by Alou, Finley, Kent?!? I would like to know where the Philly voter put him.

I know, it was mentioned in regards to Harley's comment about how sacks can kill if they were worth -2.

I don't see a problem with INT counting the same as fumbles. A turnover is a turnover. I definitely don't think sacks should be worth -2 as that is a little too much out of the QB's control.

Come on al, as soon as the Phillies dropped out of the playoff race you knew that would happen.

I am not too worried about that, because this league really kills the value of WRs.

I wouldn't say your team sucks. Martin and Droughns have the ability to hang one on somebody. You have a second tier receiver in Lelie and you have great performance out of your kicker and Def (don't underestimate the importance of this). It is just you have Harrington at QB, which is the money spot the way this league's scoring is. With him at QB you have no wiggle room if anyone else has a bad day.

Yup, 24-7-1 for Bonds. Beltre got 6 first place votes, Pujols and Rolen each with one.

You were right behind Foreign Objects, Harley, IMO. It just came down to Priest being the best non-QB and when in doubt I lean toward the team with the single best player. You certainly have a team I would not look forward to meeting in the playoffs.
