The new guy (Joe Davis) is pretty dang good but he'll definitely be unfairly compared to Vin - he's the last of a dying breed and it'll be weeeeeird to listen too games without him.

If you count spring training games, that's another 1,600 or so that would put him over 12,000 total. Plus, there's probably more than 150 post-season games.

Why? I know it's tough when the team you are emotionally involved in can't get it together.Originally posted by eldiablo505
That's why I don't root for any sports teams anymore. Just my fantasy guys. Makes life easier.

Really, that makes it easier for you? I guess you don't own and start guys like Rodon when they decide their job is batting practice pitcher. Actually, I know that you do have such guys, and it frustrates the hell out of you, based on many of your postsOriginally posted by Mithrandir View PostWhy?

By making life easier I mean I ONLY get bent at my fantasy players and not my fantasy players AND a real life team.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostReally, that makes it easier for you?

Actually i don't get nearly as pissed in real life as you guys seem to think I do. I've won more than my fair share of league titles so it really doesn't make sense for me to get too bent when my players have a mediocre season.
But that's my rep here!!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

Well, you are a better man than me--I've won a few titles too, but I still hold grudges against players years later when they have cost me titles in my long time h2h points league. In that set up, I can pinpoint individual performances that literally costs me a title and several hundred dollars, so I still hold ill will toward themOriginally posted by Mithrandir View PostBy making life easier I mean I ONLY get bent at my fantasy players and not my fantasy players AND a real life team.

But that's my rep here!!. I still have a special place in my fantasy hell for Bud Smith, whose improbable no hitter, cost me a title back in 2001 .

I think we all harbor feelings like that towards certain players!!! We have big time memories of important stuff like that!!Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostWell, you are a better man than me--I've won a few titles too, but I still hold grudges against players years later when they have cost me titles in my long time h2h points league.
