The last two I haven't played much live because I have an old Macbook that no longer has any Java updates left. That will be rectified shortly, maybe as soon as this weekend. So I'll play more live this time, but I can be in the other league adn play them two at a time or whatever. That's fine.
I think we're going 4 live divisions, so you can settle down. You're in.
You seem to be the unsettled one. :shrug:
I must have been confused by " piss up a rope".No matter. I admit, part of my anger is work-related.
And the rest is tool related?
Have you never had a bad day in your life? Is your life that wonderful? Because damn, I really envy you if that's the case.

It's pretty awesome. :thumbup:

 
Five guys need to make picks, 10 guys need to enter teams. Divisions are coming together. This can happen if you dare to believe.

 
Ok, its official. After 4 hit, 3-0 shutout of TRE, my team is going to win it all.

Its not like I am reading too much into one game or anything.

 
Landed a lil while ago. At Rachel's in West Palm. I'll pick tomorrow am.

Honeslty I don't need to be in Live, not sure I'll be that attentive, and will not be around much this week at all.

 
My computer can't seem to figure out the Java thing needed for SimLive. Computers are neat.
I always click on "Run This Time" since WIS has been just about the same for over 10 years now.
I had to go into Java Settings under Windows Control Panel and reduce "security" from high to medium. WIS doesn't sign their Java code which typifies how little Fox Sports Interactive Media cares about them.

This.
 
Yeah I can't get it to work on my Macbook anymore. I can't update Firefox, Java, Flash, nothing.

I got almost nine years out of this refurb though, just bought another one an hour ago. Now to figure out how to transfer all my favorites (files are easy). :oldunsure:

Not live simming exhibition games on Sunday has ruined everything!
Not simliving Sunday sucked.

Not simliving for a whole weekend? Totally sucked.

But the petty way in which it was all handled? Let's just say it has soured the experience.

Not as if I didn't ask on a number occasions and very kindly in pm (so as not to make it a big bit to do) without getting an answer until mid Sunday afternoon. But hey, it's your gig, right?

I'm guessing that's it. Also, I work for Fox, so I'll see what I can do. Pretty sure I will get somewhere.

While you're at it, Mrs. Eephus thinks Pam Oliver needs a new weave

 
Bret Barberie, MIF, 1990s

I hate using my 1990s on 175 PAs of MI as a backup, but when it came down to it this was by far the best option for the occasional PH and backup SS/2B duties.

I politely declined you on more than one occasion. There was nothing petty about it. I was pretty upfront on what the plan was and why I was trying to do it this way. You admitted you didn't take the time to read the plan, and my suspicious is that you only found it "petty" because I didn't cave to your insistence that you were right in some sort of weird argument. It's a pretend baseball league, guy. People have been SimLiving like crazy today. And they've been doing it with a full, correct roster as we quickly approach having a full league.

OK, here you go. This only has about the first 20 rounds. If you took a starter after that, then you don't get the credit. Not that it really means anything since who knows if these are accurate :)

How does wis figure out their suggestions

They have seaver as long relief b and Pedro as setup A
They had Mike Schmidt on the bench and Billy Werber in against both lefties and righties for me. I think for pitchers they consider most innings for starters, so maybe you have three other guys or so with more innings than those two.

I think you miscalculated something. :mellow:

McGwire and Sosa both score very highly. McGinnity is pretty high too. If you don't believe in those guys I can see why you'd be skeptical.

 
I think the team I'm most interested in is Sparty. He has two top-10 hitters (Mantle and Foxx) and I've got Davenport ranked #14 overall for pitchers. And yet his team ranks pretty low.

McGwire hit 3 homers, a single, and 8 RBI in a sim I did yesterday against ChemX. Outside of that, he either strikes out or walks. Sosa has been solid in early sims.

McGinnity I'm a bit skeptical on and it doesn't help that he allowed 9 runs in a sim yesterday. But then again, I'm always skeptical on my ability to draft pitching.

By far the highest I have ever been ranked by jfranco. I'm excited to see what this team can do.

Will get it entered in today.
