I just saw (too late) that Nipper is not having a good night around here. WTF? :rotflmao: I swear to god I love this thread! :rotflmao: Nipsey, how bout' beers with me n' Beagle tomorrow night. We will be betting basketball games, and oogling women.You in?

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Wait a minute.  Did I get this right?

We have a wanna-be Mod, a wanna-be actor, and a wanna-be commissioner?  All in the same thread?!  :rotflmao: 

Wait, and a wanna-be dragon, too!! 

This is a total ####### circus.

Next time you call me a wanna be, we'll have a problem.Text upcoming, sorting through 8 days worth...one sec.

Dude, I love you, but you're doing commercials. I have enough friends in the biz to know what that means. YOU'RE NOT THERE YET.

Yes, I know how hard it is, and respect the fact that it took a ton of work to even be knocking on the door, like you are. And I know full-well that tomorrow could come, and voila, you get your part, and turn around and buy this dump (FBG ) just so you can name it Fcapella (for fun), so good for you.

Keep pluggin', baby.

I was on west wing two weeks ago. I have a movie in theatres now. You want to keep being a ####, or will you stop now?

Please tell me you are not this sensitive.

Had mine on the rocks, as well. Well since we're going Hollyweird tonight, I might as well say that I met that chick that did a Dr. Phil show where she went on two dates...one with the earphone, one without. I only caught part of the conversation as when it turned to that BS, I acted like I didn't care (she was talking to a buddy next to me), and chicks usually wonder why you don't care out here. Anyway, pretty hot. Funny story, as I come back here to mr Hollynipsey. Maybe he knows about that episode, or whatever.

After a couple of days of uproarious entertainment, I decided to take a look at the 1st post where all the draft picks were listed...I think there is something wrong with the simming when THIS team is running away with it:

1.16 Christy Matthewson

2.01 Roger Clemens

3.16 Charlie Gehringer

4.01 Frank Thomas

5.16 Ivan Rodriguez

6.01 Robin Yount

7.16 Tom Glavine

8.01 Bernie Williams

9.16 Ron Santo

10.1 Dave Winfield

11.16 George Van Haltren

12.01 Dwight Gooden

13.16 Benito Santiago

14.01 John Smoltz

15.16 Moises Alou

16.01 Julio Franco

17.16 Satchel Paige

18.01 Tim Wakefield

19.16 Paul Quantrill

20.01 Rogor Connor

21.16 Sam Rice

22.01 Ted Lyons

23.16 John Clarkson

24.01 Andres Galarraga

25.16 ?? Not listed

And to LB's claim that he didn't sim fish, I challenge him to explain how the hell he knew who Van Haltren (the pride of the turn of the century NYG), Connor and Clarkson (two guys featured in a book ["Ghosts of the Hall"] dedicated to obscure HOFers), were...They stick out on this team (which is primarily made up of "name" players of the past 20 years) like Larry Boy at a strip club ("Oh oh...look away from the boobies...Must not have impure thoughts...Too late...I think I soiled myself")

I found them because they were on my sheet that I made...no, I'm not telling you how I made my sheet...

but, all of my picks actually made sense according to the stats I was using to decide picks...

Wow, what did I miss?So Nipsey really IS an actor? That means we get ribs, right?(by the way, bull####ter does not necessarily equate to actor).

I just did "the math" Nipsey referred to.Bark for me Nipsey.

West Wing? Well, why didn't you say so? Sign me up for the "Nipsey for Commish Campaign!"Were you one of the Russian dudes (Nipsev?) that wanted to write their own Constitution?

 

[Funkley]

Big series with Spock tomorrow. 

Since I started 1-6 I have gone 24-8 and moved into sole possession of 1st in my division. This hot streak can't last forever.

Goodfellas take a close first game. Foxx and Killebrew get shut down but my surprise money player, Elston Howard, comes up big. Great matchup this afternoon. My team has been pounding LHP but Koufax has been terrific. I'm on a hot streak right now and I can't even gain a lead in the division because the ******* Rabbits never lose.

At least you didn't :report: me.

 

[Funkley]

Simmed today's Marichal vs. Koufax match up 10 time. Teams split 5 to 5. Surprisingly high scoring games and both teams beat the other by at least 5 runs once. About as even a match up as it gets. Could go either way.

So, what one player is an albatross for you all?For me, it is easy. Once again, Mr. Lefty Grove. Not only because he SUCKS, but because he was a sure fire awsome pick that would be able to have an advantage against all but maybe 2 or 3 starting pitchers in the entire game.However, since he SUCKS, not only does the rotation get moved up, but Bucky Walters AND Dazzy Vance both have to start, where one would have been my closer.Seeing as every game I lose seems to be by one run in walk off fashion for my opponent, it is amazing that that one starting pitcher who SUCKS has killed me in so many ways.

For me it's been errors by Pesky and Joe D, both have cost me at least two games a peice. Can't complain about their hitting but the D has been weak.

I guess I have to say it's still Alomar. Brilliant or brutal. Rube Waddell is surprising as I thought he was a poor man's Grove. The strikeouts have been excellent but the ERA is 4.50 and he gets hit harder than I would've expected. Then again, maybe a 4.50 ERA is solid in this league.EDIT: 4.82 ERA actually.

Easy, Rickey Henderson. With him batting a whopping 0.174, its like having a pitcher hitting leadoff. It really hurts as I took him in the second round and built my entire offense around him getting on base. He has stolen 16 bases so far (second on the team behind Hamilton's 20) but I am thinking about dropping him to eighth for a while and see what happens.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Go see Because of Winn-Dixie. Then watch a west wing re-run in April. Do the math.

Yeah, connect the ####### dots, people. :gang:

Worked with Alomar so once he started hitting I moved him back to 2nd and he doesn't hit again.

Hmm I havent even looked at it by games lost. If Grove performed as well as he should, shoot, we are talking at LEAST 5 games. That is huge. Some that he lost outright and other games lost because it ####ed up my bullpen, especially a closer.

 

[Doug B]

So, what one player is an albatross for you all?

I have a bunch:1) My whole pitching staff except for Al Leiter. Startets Spahn, Schilling, and Plank are like batting practice for opponents. Combined bullpen ERA is around 8.00.

2) Ryne Sandberg hitting 200 over 28 games and getting benched.

3) George Brett hitting .276.

4) Musial started off cold, got hot, then cold again. He's hitting 35 points below his RL average.

5) Eddie Murray is 52 points below his average.

6) Tim Raines struggled most of the season to stay above .200. Even with a recent hot streak, he's still hitting 30 points below his average.

7) Ernie Lombardi has shown nice power, but is hitting over 40 points below his average.

 

[Sammy3469]

My ablatross has been my bullpen. Shantz has been much worse than his stats would indicate so he's currently getting "rest". Reardon has blown 5 saves and is 1-5. My two best pitchers so far are Grimes and Leever in long relief. Leever's kept me in some games until my offense has come around.My entire offense is still underpreforming, but I think that is a function of pitching. Though I shouldn't be complaining since my power numbers are some of the best. When my lineup is clicking, it's a thing of beauty. The only guy I'm really dissappointed in is Carew. He just doesn't get on enough. As a result Doerr has been playing against lefties. The one thing that continues to piss me off is the lack of situational hitting and that's not just on my team. I think average pitching so far is an ERA in the mid 4s.

 

[Doug B]

Oh yeah, forgot one -- opponents are batting .389 against "closer" Tom Henke (ERA 10.86).

 

[Bogart]

well, Im sitting most of my starters against uber-stud Charlie Hough today. Watch this bite me in the ####.

 

[Koya]

I can understand 1/4 season hitting stats being lower - although the Rickey thing is a bit extreme. But all these pitching issues and bullpen issues confound me. A great pitcher has more control over his success than any other player, so I am amazed that some guys really suck.I suppose if you play at wis a bunch, you know which players underperform and which overperform. For example, although the pick was a fav pick and not fishing, Sid Fernandez's key numbers - opponents average and whip - are very very low. But he sucks. I wouldnt argue that because sid is not an altime great. Except even ok deadballers seem to pitch like randy johnson in this thing. definately some quirks over in wis.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

3) George Brett hitting .276.

I wish I had these problems with hitters.

 

[Doug B]

Except even ok deadballers seem to pitch like Randy Johnson in this thing.

Hmmph. Not my deadballers.

 

[Sammy3469]

I think some of it is whoever it is has to be the best in that year (I'm glad no one knew that before doing it)I think this is one of the reasons Grimes is doing so well. In 1920 he had the best OAV. I also think this is one of the reasons the RP are fairing so badly, they simply aren't tops ever in these internal measure Whatif uses.The batting stats should be lower overall since they aren't facing the "average" for that season, but instead above average pitching though that doesn't explain Henderson.

 

[Politician Spock]

This sim make Nolan Ryan look like Rick Vaughn.

"Wild Thing. You make my heart sing. You walk everything."

 

[Doug B]

3) George Brett hitting .276.

I wish I had these problems with hitters.

Dude! You're 26-14, with a team ERA of 3.15! I need my offense to come alive.

 

[Sammy3469]

This sim make Nolan Ryan look like Rick Vaughn.

"Wild Thing. You make my heart sing. You walk everything."

Ryan's interesting because his BB/9 is just so absurdly high. He's on pace to walk close to 200 batters which is just amazing . You just aren't going to win games walking a guy an inning.

The one thing that continues to piss me off is the lack of situational hitting and that's not just on my team.

Totally agree with this, a runner on second and no outs I've seen pop out-strike out-ground out way to many times, I don't care who is up at the plate, move the runner over(especially in a tight game).
