Beat the Streak is on my hatey list. I lose a 7-game streak yesterday for not being able to pick a player by Noon. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:38 35
- when you can pick a week in advance, I do not see this as a problem. - groiny Apr 29, 07:43 18
  - I'd never pick w/o knowing the O/U totals and pitching matchups. - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:45 14
    - And yes, it's my fault for not realizing this and picking a player a day before. - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:47
    - O/U? And couldn't you at least pick, and then switch if you remember that day? -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:46 12
      - and I am very disappointed that will all the baseball fans on ST - groiny Apr 29, 07:55 7

        I can't get down on these every single day fantasy games. Same reason golf and nascar and whatnot annoy me. -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:56 3
        
        it is not even really fantasy. pick one dude out of everyone in baseball - groiny Apr 29, 07:56 2
        
        game, then. (golf and nascar aren't really fantasy either.) -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 08:01 1
        
        by that I mean, you do not have to draft a team, trade, etc.... - groiny Apr 29, 08:02
      - Over/Under - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:47 3
        
        You can't do that without a published O/U number? -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:50 2
        
        has had the lonest streak so far. - groiny Apr 29, 07:52
        
        Makes it easier. I don't follow baseball very much. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:51
  - Sure but no all the pitching matchups are set up a week in advance. - Krusty Apr 29, 07:44 2
    - I do mine like 4 days in advance, but will look further out as some matchups are listed. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 07:51
    - *no = not* -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 07:44
- That's the one thing I dislike about Beat the Streak. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 07:40
- if yahoo hadn't changed the deadlines for the golf lineups, they would have lost me this year. -- nm - zork Apr 29, 07:40 14
  - They changed them? It's one of the reasons I didn't play this year. I missed 3-4 weeks last year. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 07:41 13
    - They've been a lot better this season about that. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:42 12
      - Too late now but maybe I'll jump in again next year. - Krusty Apr 29, 07:43 11
        
        This year - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:52 10
        
        That sounds much better. I would sign in on Thursday morning and realise I had no one in the tourney and couldn't - Krusty Apr 29, 07:55 8
        
        you can still join. they've split the year into 3 seasons and you can win them separately -- nm - zork Apr 29, 07:57 1
        
        Maybe I'll jump in when the next season starts. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 08:03
        
        I goofed the first 2 weeks, week1, did not realize it started already - groiny Apr 29, 07:56 1
        
        Yup. Now you have to hope other people start missing weeks. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 08:03
        
        I'm doing pretty horrible so far. CQ is out in front. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 29, 07:55 3
        
        He seems to do well every year. I must actually watch golf. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 08:00 2

- itself? yes. It was not the awesome -- nm - oblique Apr 29, 07:35
- It did kill, but not in a good way. More like with a knife. To my neck. In the family room. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 29, 07:34 1
  - Yep. A coupld of good one-liners could not save that maudlin crap. -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 07:35

I know you've all been waiting with baited breath: Eminem's new single 'Not Afraid' - decline Apr 29, 07:30 15

  - If I remember correctly we had the same feelings on Relapse - MDH Apr 29, 07:41 2
    - Yeah, Relapse was mostly blowish. I gave it another chance months later, and found some worthwhile stuff skill-wise... - TFox Apr 29, 07:43 1
      - I think you may have hit the nail on the head. -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:44
- I'm tired of all this depressing Eminem stuff - MDH Apr 29, 07:37 8
  - I don't think you can be tired of depressing Eminem stuff and hope for another Marshall Mathers LP at the same time, honestly. -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:41 6
    - Maybe, but as a whole that album's tempo was a lot better - MDH Apr 29, 07:43 5
      - I think he proved on Drake's "Forever" that he can still be worth listening to. But he needs to pick some new shit to talk about. -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:44 4
        
        make sure to check out the freestyle song link I gave. imo much better than the new song -- nm - decline Apr 29, 07:46 1
        
        i will do fo sho. -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:47
        
        His verse on that song blew Relapse's entire album out of the water -- nm - MDH Apr 29, 07:46 1
        
        easy. -- nm - TFox Apr 29, 07:47
  - He admits that album was crap. He should just produce and step away from the mic. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 07:38

  - Meh is perfect. I also don't like rappers singing on tracks, just rhyme and let those that can sing do the hook. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 07:37
DH, I loved treme ep 2 as well. ep 1 didn't hook me but ep 2 was fantastic. I haven't watched 3 yet either. -- nm - slackmanda Apr 29, 07:27 2

        If you're initial post meant that Crist will get killed in the current news cycle, we're totally on the same page. - ty97 Apr 29, 07:59 1
