Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I don't have that kind of patience.Today i looked at the teams involved and knew i was in trouble. So i plugged in the right hand column, got Sammy Sosa in the center square (Paul Lynde wasn't available), then stared at the others for like ten minutes befor hitting the 'Give Up' button.

A Boy Named Seo Old-Timey Member Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Mets first round pick is a choice today. Should have quite a spread of names with this crew.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 I went with Tim Foli.

duan Old-Timey Member Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 also by my own stupidity I found out that it wasn't "first round pick by team in question" but first round pick that played with team in question (but could be picked by any team in the first round )

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 I wanted to use Bobby Thompson (Scotland) as a foreign born player but I wasn't sure if he was ever an All-Star (he was 3x)Forget what my 'Rarity' score was but each player on my grid today was at 8% or under.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Mebbe I made a mistake typing, but Bert Blyleven didn't work for me as my Hall-of-Famer born outside the States.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 In addition to be generally being lousy at this game, I also do more than my share of batching it up by slotting the right names into wrong places.
