Thanks, bigjoe. I have to be at school all day tomorrow.
Oh, Bobby.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

I should have been awarded a point for correctly guessing that JJ would pitch 5 2/3 innings last night. I throw myself on the mercy of the court.
Big Joe be there for me!

3. 2 hits, but Moylan zero
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Look at you, begging to throw you a bone with an extra point.

I’m just convinced Moylan is going to be our Rafael Betancourt before he decided to suck this year.

You could have just said “07 Moylan”

I gotta go with Vazquez as my #2…just got a feeling he’s gonna pitch well today.

47?
wow, i just noticed that a lot of people put 47 as the last two digits of their attendance guess. Is this cuz of Tom Glavine? That’s why i do it, haha. It’s been my favorite player and number since I was 8 (14 years now)

1. 43333
2. Brian McCann
3. 4
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.
James Patrick Murray
uno) 44,353
dos) McCann
tres) 4 hits allowed(no runs)

Question for bigjoe
If someone adds in extra like this, does it count against them if they’re wrong. For example, let’s say the bullpen allows four hits, but gives up a run. Does WeStillHaveBobby still get a point?
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Me begging for a point (Since I am 0-6 so far...)
I say Frenchy averages 4 pitches per plate appearance today…his last AB last night was very reassuring! Even though he popped up, he went deep to left, then tried to slap it to right, all while taking a few pitches…very reassuring.

That has absolutely nothing to do with any of the questions. At least the people who throw a AAB pick in there relate it to QUESTION THREE

yeah, i get that
I already made my pics…i was just hoping for a creativity point there – call it a sympathy point.

sympathy from bigjoe is like getting a bite of a cookie from an morbidly obese person. it ain’t going to happen.

Re: cookies and the "morbidly obese person"
Loves ’em like a fat kid loves cake.
I have a friend who’s a “fat kid”. He loves cake. And cookies. royhobbs speaks the truth.
"People need help, and you know how to help them."
Chipper scratched from lineup per DOB.
Whats the rule on people who have picked Chipper already?

If you go ahead and respond to your post with a corrected pick, I’ll accept it. If you don’t, tough shit

No holding back – this is why I’m excited about bigjoe’s NAHWAL reign.

He’s gonna rule with an iron fist…bigstalin!

Oh by the way.
If you initially pick Chipper (or anyone for that matter), and change it…and then Chipper comes into the game and hits a game winning pinch homer or something along those lines…you’re not getting credit for picking him.

crap I forgot!
stupid job interfering with Braves baseball
Lets get this out of the way now.
Attendance was 44,939. Point goes to KC Ryan.
Picks to click were McCann & Diaz. Pick to not click was any pitcher that didn’t start the game. Points go to Facestealer, tgriffith3, GoBravesNY, MTSU11, ejruiz, cmdpsu15, Johnsonville, angrysmurf, Mikehd1200, Chopaholic, dc_allday, VictorW, WeStillHaveBobby, soup du jour, mwchipper, rearnold. None of you had Diaz. FOR SHAME.
The bullpen allowed 6 hits. Point goes to McCannsMuscle. Any of you who made bullpen AAB picks were horribly wrong.

You using a spread sheet of some sort to track all this?
good work on everything. I wish there were points for being second closest to the attendance, but hey i can’t whine i was luck to be as close as i was.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

You know what I'm throwing in the towel
I’m going to start betting on individuals users. I’m putting my money on ejruiz.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
On the bright side, you have more points than cbwilk. If the contest was “dating fat, bitchy reality stars”, he’d be wiping the floor with you though.

I’m going to start making picks based on others NAHWAL picks.
…aside from my own, that is.

a NAHWAL betting scheme ?
colored me intrigued.. but who will be the bookie for hte NAHWAL betting is it Over/Under style (like EJRUIZ will get 1.5 pts. OVER/UNDER?.).. or i pick EJRUIZ to question 2 correct.)
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?
by fatazfoot on Jan 7, 2009 8:59 PM EST
If you bet on NAHWAL, you RUIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME
