Cub Scout Song

I'm reminded of a song our cub scout pack sings

(Sung to O Tannenbaum)
Oh Tom the Toad, Oh Tom the Toad
Why did you have to cross the road
Oh Tom the Toad, Oh Tom the Toad
Why did you have to cross the road
You used to be so green and fat
Now you are so red and flat
Oh Tom the Toad Oh Tom the Toad
Why did you have to cross the road

Hooville Humus back in action ?!?

Hi all,

Had last week off and we didn't track the players. Not sure who we're playing either. For all we know our players could all be down in the minors! ; ) Anyway, I think we will just keep our roster the same as for week 3 (since our fish swalled Papa's gila whole).

Bev... Amanda is wondering about her email account. She can't even log in. Should we just wait for a note from you?

Thanks! Amanda and Bronwyn

Wookies Lineup Week 4

I would like to switch Bobby Jenks for Pat Neshek in RP and Josh Beckett for D. Lowe in P.

If this is too late, thats cool we'll rock with the old lineup.

Woops

Ok,

I lied. I want to switch Ensberg into the lineup and switch Iwamura into the back up role at the 3rd base position

Pastel Marauders' Week 4 Lineup

No changes from the Lineup posted for Week 3!

Die diminutive citrus!

Bumpkin Bombers Lineup Week 3?

Bev,

since you are not receiving emails, I need to know if you received a lineup from the Bumpkin Bombers for week 3? If no, then I will go with what was here for week 2. Other than that, I have the results ready for week 3.

Joe

Toads lineup - week 4

I have no changes in my lineup for week4 from my week3 lineup.

E-mail issues...

I can send, but not receive. E-mails TO any bdb2.com address will bounce, it appears. I am trying to figure out what the problem is with technical support. It seems to be 100% server side, since all my other e-mail accounts function normally. Will keep you posted.

I'm sorry for the formatting problems. It was pasted from an Excel sheet and didn't come out quite the way I wanted. I'll try to fix it for next week.

Red Stat on Off Weeks?

Do we count the red stat in the weeks that the teams do not play? This is a little different than how we did it 2 years ago when I last played. I would certainly understand if we did. I was just wondering why both Pete and Bev submitted lineups in the week when they both had the week off.

PaperBoys Week 2 (Bye week)

Swapping a lot around due to some folks having a hot week right out of the box. Apparently Jeff Weaver signed with the Mariners at some point, so I ended up with TWO Seattle pitchers... lovely.

Mid-Week Assessment

My team sucks. I will have difficulty winning with meager run production and high ERAs.

However, I think I have a great chance when Benito Santiago comes out of his self-imposed exile on Crete to lead the league in Runs and RBIs. I just hope I can get him in the supplemental draft!

Honestly- my team is Astro-like. They might do very well or do very well at losing. Time will tell!

So what's your mid-week assessment?

So far so good for my team. I wish my hitting was a good bit more consistent, but with good pitching (which I have been fortunate to get) that's not so critical. I have been pleasantly surprised, but there's a good chance I will have another round of starts that could destroy the good start.

Picks

I am back from church and have made my pick. Excuse my delay. I suddenly remembered that I had a family and other responsibilities! Who the ^%%$^&%*& is Biff McSquat anyway?!

Drafting?

What happened to the last three picks of the draft? I haven't seen any movement on picks?
