Proves what a load of bollocks they spouted to win us over - or maybe thats it, no communication from Lerner because he accepts we have lost Krulak, Master of Platitudes

They have problems leaking in soft goals, and goals from corners, just like us... 2-2

Arteta is a shell of the player he used to be

I don't think it's an unreasonable position to take, considering they have won FA in years. They got bounced out of the cup by Blackburn, and now they've all but sealed their fate in the CL. They're not gonna win the league this year, and they might not qualify for the CL. He's been there a long time, the club might be better off with a new manager.

The Gus Johnson Tour continued today in London. Gus: "What should we be looking for early on in this game?" Well why don't YOU tell US, you're the announcer, you **** bonehead!

Kylie Minogue. She absolutely sucks.

Preparing myself to give my notice at work. I work for a parade of mental train wrecks who should not be in any position of authority. Only problem is it's so convenient to continue working there. But I think I've finally had enough.

The guy is absolutely mental And rich, which means he'll probably walk.

We can do a Head to Head league (just like the NFL league where teams play each other for a week and playoffs), or we can do a Roto league, which is everyone battling everyone every night (First place at end of season wins it all) Here is a breakdown of how roto works: Your entire team builds up stats in various categories, such as wins, saves, batting average, homers, and so on (usually half are for batters and half for pitchers). Teams are then ranked based on how well they're doing in each category. For example, in a 10 team league you'd rank everyone in RBIs. Whoever has the most throughout the season up to that point gets 10 points, second place gets 9, and on down to last place who gets 1. You do this for each stat category, add up the points, and get a final ranking based on those. So you're always competing against everyone else. There's some quirky strategies that arise from this. Say you're doing real well in steals, and are greatly outdistancing second place. You may trade your speed guys late in the year, figuring that you'll remain in first place and anything on top of that is just wasted. Also, a great home run hitter with a terrible batting average is a double- edged sword, so you have to look out to make sure a "star" player isn't killing you in the qualitative stats. Finally, guys who can steal bases and make saves are much more valuable then in real life, because one or two dominant players in that category can pretty much be an easy ticket to 10 points. If you want to play, sign your name here, and tell me if you prefer Head to Head or Roto

Last year we generally had kind of half-hearted interest, and I ended up deleting the league cuz it just wasn't happening. I can set up a league as long as we have 10 players who can stay active and engaged for the whole season (April through September) If you are interested, and are willing to stay at it even if your team starts to suck , jot your name down on this thread. If we get a total of 10 committed managers, I'll set it up on Yahoo.

He could swat 30+ HR's in Arlington.

Also, Philly is looking at an aging rotation. Halladay is showing his age now, Howard is a shell of the player he used to be. I don't know what offensive moves they've made to improve, but if Cliff Lee only won 6 games with the numbers he put up last year, their offense is putrid.

Who knows, if the Mets are still in the hunt come July, he may pull the trigger and make an impact trade or two. It's a long season, after all. Gio might get suspended, Strasburg might re-injure his elbow, and the Uptons/Heyward OF might flatter to deceive. Kris Medlen is nasty though. With the extra playoff team, the Mets could sneak in through the back door. All is not lost yet, Kurt.

Anyone up for an 11PM speed game tonight?

Why the poop was this thread dug up

Happy Birthday, old timer!

He really seems miserable, Barton.

Somalian Pirate

And it's the most developed country in Africa...

According to police, neighbors heard disturbances coming from his house earlier in the night. He's looking guilty as sin.

FFS, Fox sent Gus Johnson (who?) and Warren Barton to Madrid to call the match. Total Fail.

Fast Car

Dawkins looked lively and unintimidated when he came on, hopefully it continues.

Another year, another doping scandal- this one could lead to several suspensions, including Braun and Gio Gonzalez.
