Yeah, you know, tater, shot, dinger, bomb, blast, jack, dong!

the Braves had somebody named "Bong" pitch for them today (shouldn't he be pitching for the Mets?)

"Mike Bacsik, get in this house RIGHT NOW!"

I am really going to enjoy Baseball Tonight this evening.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

somebody give Runelvys Hernandez a Cy Young already!

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, Guardado gets the save today against one of the greatest baseball teams in the history of the sport ('03 Tigers). Mark, I'm keeping him for the time being.

Moises Alou I kiss you.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

felicity, I didn't/couldn't participate in the draft, and I didn't see any sox on waivers besides, ugh, Willie Harris.

Saturday I move into a new place with CABLE! WOO-HOO, HSTENCIL CAN WATCH BASEBALL TONIGHT EVERY NIGHT!

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hernandez is still available in my money league. I can't decide if I should dump Jeremy Bonderman (the Tigers' stud hurler) for him...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh hooray for your cable, h.

But, that is the most pitiful excuse from a wannabe Chicago sports fan I have ever heard. I, too, was absent from the live draft and somehow ChicksDigKs has MAGS Ordonez and Damaso "Rowr" Marte.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, you took my man, Felicity...right out from under my nose!

― Kerry (dymaxia), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

yancey - I don't know, they're both young pitchers ie. what I usually avoid (inconsistency in a pitchers scares me too much). Hernandez is 'da ace' though, my theory being that to be an ace at all you have to be at least semi-decent (hence, er, my drafting Ismael Valdes). I Love Baseball being an exception to my avoid young pitchers rule becuz it's a TWENTY TEAM league. twenty teams but non-tradtional stats counting - I have no idea how ILB will play out.

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hmm, Kerry, we might talk . . . but right now even this Cubs fan doesn't want to trade Mags for Sosa. I wuv Mags.

Haha, even Kerry Wood got a hit today! We love when the pitchers "help themselves out." THE NL ROXX U R ALL GAY

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jesus Christ the Cubs have scored 15 runs

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Holy crap, Juan Cruz struck out the side TWICE??

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha, even Kerry Wood got a hit today! We love when the pitchers "help themselves out."

:-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

i'm with you on avoiding young pitchers, and young pitchers on shitty teams even moreso. bonderman's being touted as a "once in a lifetime" prospect, but hernandez has been hyped for ages it seems. i think bonderman starts tomorrow. maybe i can hold off until then.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Heh, I met Damaso Marte once last season. I had gone down to the Bullpen sports bar for an hour after the game. As I left and was walking north to 35th street I looked over and he was just sitting there on a bench in that landscaped area in front of the ticket windows. I walked up and shook his hand and asked him what he was doing out there. He was apparantly waiting for a friend to come and pick him up!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

ima trade junior spivey for bullpen help if anyone's interested

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

What the hell am I gonna do at work all day when the schedule starts going to night games?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

WHO HAS JUAN CRUZ?
WHO HAS TIM SPOONEYBARGER?

ALternatively, what is the best way to locate a player who is on someone else's team (i.e., not searchable under "available players") (No Carrie Brownstein jokes, please)

Damaso gets a "hott" in the redwellmetrics ratings.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

I hope every game today does something to discount all that shit I wrote above (da Cubbies' 15 runs, for example). I wanna be bulletin board material!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

felicity - either just click 'taken' or search by last name

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

there's is a tab on the available players page that has "Taken" (if you want to peak into other people's dugouts).

you can always do a search on the last name on that page as well just for shits and giggles.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Felicity, when you click on that available players link, the page has links to toggle between "available" and "taken" players.

Also you can search via the player's last name.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, just enter in their last name in the search thing and the player should come up (unless you spell it wrong, which happens all the time to me).

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha I'm slow.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

holy shit! no one's taken mark prire! or mark pizza! my teme's set!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

thx

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

where's my laugh? You need to make me laugh.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

awww this thread gets it's first cross post pile up.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

(i'm transcribing a george thorogood interview and he says the mets will win the pennant.)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

bad to the bone indeed

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, this is classic! All this attention to my player-locating question makes me feel like MM in "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

hahahaha... ask another question... I want to be first this time!!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sweet! It looks like Aaron Boone is playing 2B this year so will be eligible to play 2B, SS and 3B. Now all I have to do is hope he doesn't suck.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Will trade 6th place standing for starting pitching.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

josh beckett needs to get off my dick and fucking pitch. he's killing me!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Juan Pierre's stolen two bases already and it's only the second inning - I knew he'd fit in in Florida

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

ooh I like the greyhound Juan Pierre. I saw him steal like two bases and stretch a couple of singles into extra base hits at Jupiter.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah eff all of who chortled when i drafted pierre... he had 2 SBs in the first (2nd then 3rd off of lieberthal!) for those keeping score at home.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

maybe we should have a thread for each day of the season

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

maybe an I Love Baseball FORUM!

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah!! A new forum... or how about "I Love the ILX Baseball Fantasy League"?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

These will be fascinating reading for the ILE archive divers.

Yeah, a dedicated board was vetoed earlier but if we demolish the Jay-Z/Nas threads in the next two weeks or so we may want to revisit the idea.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

commisioner-for-life gygax! you are mad and I love it.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

i think pierre's a great pick. i couldn't believe he lasted until the last two rounds in my other draft.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

He was in my queue when Gygax picked him (so no chorling from me... this time).

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Aaron: Me, you and felicity should meet up at the ESPNZone in Times Square for baseball while you're here!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thome's first NL at abat is a two out double to score a run!

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

ahem, Yanc3y!

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 20:01 (twenty-one years ago) link
