Eli Manning, LenDale White, Braylon Edwards, Reggie Wayne, Heath Miller off the top of my head -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 15:06 10
- Do you want someone to draft for you or can you do it (yourself or with a draft card)? -- nm - David Aug 24, 15:08 7
  - when does the draft start? today? I can get a card done tonight -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 15:09 6
    - obviously, I need the best possible RBs available in rounds one and two -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 15:10 1
      - No Clinton Portis. Got it. -- nm - David Aug 24, 15:11
    - It starts tomorrow at 1 PM EST. Just let me know what I can do to help. -- nm - David Aug 24, 15:10
    - Also crash FJS draft on saturday 10:30 just to remind you -- nm - eag Aug 24, 15:10
    - Tomorrow, 10 AM. -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 15:10 1
      - Keepers have to be in by 10. TFox, have you heard from Bud Ice and Walt Disney? -- nm - David Aug 24, 15:10
- hmm, so, hi -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 24, 15:07 1
  - hi -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 15:08
If Santana goes on the DL, the Mets will have had roughly $110M on the DL at some point in the year. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 14:53 3
- im really hoping Wright bounces back when he comes off -- nm - Guy Aug 24, 14:54 2
  - I'm hope he stops trying to be macho and rush back from a head injury. Nothing good can come from it. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 14:55 1
    - Yep season is pretty much lost no need to rush him -- nm - eag Aug 24, 14:57
heh. I just got back into the office, and my boss just left running out. - tRuMaN Aug 24, 14:44 1
- Someone must've let one rip. -- nm - Loyola Aug 24, 14:45
MDH; Yikes. With the right actors, your friend could do alot of damage. Impressive. -- nm - Loyola Aug 24, 14:43
Another unfortunate first from yesterday: it was the first time Beckett allowed runs in each of the first five innings of his start. Ever. -- nm - TFox Aug 24, 14:39
Your Hair Metal of the Day -- (link) - con_carne Aug 24, 14:25 3
- On regular rotation on my iPhone. - Stephen Aug 24, 14:27 2
  - I feel I should call this music something other than "hair metal" - con_carne Aug 24, 14:30 1
    - Yeah, they were definitely more "hardcore" than most other "hair bands" like Poison, Whitesnake, etc. -- nm - Stephen Aug 24, 14:37
Has it been mentioned here yet that apparently Chris Carpenter saw something in Smoltz's workout the other day that suggested - Jim Aug 24, 14:21 13
- Yes. It's been mentioned and mocked (and counter-mocked). (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 14:22
- no. could you give us more details? -- nm - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 14:22
- Yeah, Moose was calling LaRussa an egomaniac earlier. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:22 10
  - From everything I'm hearing here, La Russa had nothing to do with it. It was in a bullpen session and Carp noticed it and mentioned it to Smoltz and - Jim Aug 24, 14:28 8
    - LaRussa said something to the effect of "It's pretty obvious he was tipping his pitches." - musubi Aug 24, 14:37 6
      - Clarifying: 7 strikeouts wouldn't impress. 7 *in a row* is special. In fact, it was a Cardinals record. I don't write that off to the competition. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:38 5
        
        *shrug* Maybe my wording is too dismissive, if so, my bad, I don't mean to say it's 100% cause of the Pads sucking. Smoltz was dealing, no question. - musubi Aug 24, 14:40 4
        
        even just moving to another team after being practically shamed out of Boston can bring new life to your game (temporarily) -- nm - Guy Aug 24, 14:46
        
        I completely agree with your IM. My instinct is that he's done. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:42 2
        
        That's the thing. He's a HOF pitcher, I can see him reaching back and getting a little something extra for 1 start. - musubi Aug 24, 14:45 1
        
        The Doomsday Scenario for me is Smoltz vs. the Braves in round one of the playoffs. - David Aug 24, 14:52
    - LaRussa commented on it, which is where the debate stemmed -- nm - Guy Aug 24, 14:30
  - I think that's pretty much accepted, even in StL. Most good managers are egomaniacs. - musubi Aug 24, 14:23
Somebody who's not playing against him should designate Crash's keepers, according to his best judgement. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 14:19 26
- [deleted] 25
  - But it doesn't change the fact that he wouldn't be around to draft, either. - David Aug 24, 14:21 24
    - [deleted] 21
      - I have no idea. My hope is that someone tracks him down on the phone or XBox Live. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:24 20
        
        [deleted] 19
        
        ...or a whole league - Guy Aug 24, 14:34 1
        
        As much as I was looking forward to Arete knowing (from below) what Crash is dealing with... - Stephen Aug 24, 14:40
        
        Crash has a personal situation. There is ZERO PERCENT chance his team is taken away from him. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:27 8
        
        Honestly, it's just fantasy football. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 14:33 2
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:39
        
        *ding*, and there is plenty of time. -- nm - TFox Aug 24, 14:34
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I didn't think it was my place to say anything further, but you can see the details below. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:32 3
        
        just called him and told him. He said he's going to get to it in an hour or so -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 14:35
        
        [deleted]
        
        if she wants to yell at me, she can. people have noticed the crash man missing - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 14:33
        
        If I may ask, what happened to crash? - musubi Aug 24, 14:27 7
        
        crash details, limited - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 14:31 1
        
        Oh eff me. He told me about that, I totally forgot about it though. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 14:38
        
        He was Halo on Saturday. None of us thought to remind him about BF starting since we thought he knew. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:28 4
        
        I'm almost positive it was mentioned Saturday night. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 14:30 3
        
        crash is a bit absent minded lately. -- nm - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 14:34 2
        
        Having lived through 6 months of something similar, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Words can't describe the brutality of it. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:37 1
        
        I remember how it felt when we thought my dad was starting to suffer from it. - Stephen Aug 24, 14:47
    - Not necessarily for this situation, but if a BF manager from another league needs someone to proxy draft for them, I probably have time to tackle it. -- nm - TFox Aug 24, 14:23
    - i will call crash tonight. perhaps I can get him to post on st. -- nm - tRuMaN from a cellphone Aug 24, 14:23

- Seriously, why not just shut him down for the rest of the year? - musubi Aug 24, 14:21

so is everyone who owns Halo3, going to be buying ODST the first day? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 14:06 21
- I remember faintly a game called Halo 3 - eag Aug 24, 14:27
- I don't know. What is the drop date, again? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 14:13 1
  - Drop Date is September 22nd. So, hell no, I won't be buying it first day. - Beryllium Aug 24, 14:23
- are there additional multiplayer aspects to it? -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 14:09 5
  - There are three new maps. I'm not sure if there will be a different style of online gameplay for non-Spartans or not. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:13 4
    - is it all supposed to work off the same halo 3 servers? - Reagen Aug 24, 14:23 1
      - Yes, I'm sure the new maps will eventually be available for download without game purchase, as was the case with Mythic Maps from Halo Wars. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:29
    - this is what concerns me. I hate to buy it sight unseen. - groiny Aug 24, 14:19 1
      - Since it's Bungie-created, I'm not worried. -- nm - David Aug 24, 14:20

      - I can't help that I am terrible at Halo. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 14:15 3
        
        you are only terrible because you are playing with people who are better. - groiny Aug 24, 14:18 2
        
        I don't have that kind of time right now, unfortunately. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 14:29
