Know-Thy-Enemy (KTE)

[metirish]

This is one of the great things about this board, lot's of fun, who's up first?We should make a list like last season.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Scumming up.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Gross.

[metirish]

What did I do....jezz, tough crowd tonight.

[Guest cooby]

I think he's referring to the mental image of Edgy scrumming up

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just an abbreviation for "It's coming up."

This is the annual depressing look at how few active posters we have here. But we had enough. I pretty much put everybody in the order I found them, but switched some around in order to give some out-of-town peeps their hometown team. I hope silver doesn't mind, but I didn't give her the Yankees. Perhaps too close to her heart to ask her to continue be her gracious self. I gave her the Jays, who she should know well, by then. I also gave the last two series to active posters (who were nonetheless near the bottom) because I didn't want them to fall to anybody who is disappearing or has disappeared. (Hello... valadius? What happened to you?)

Edgy great job, I hope everyone can join the fun...damn I only know two Marlin players....time to get up to snuff on them.

[Willets Point]

Nice, Edge set me up for the series in my backyard.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Edgy great job, I hope everyone can join the fun...damn I only know two Marlin players....time to get up to snuff on them.

Those two Marlin players only know two Marlin players.

I'll assume you know Dontrelle and Miggy. But you must know Mike Jacobs also.

[metirish]

Yes of course, how could I forget about Jake Monster..and I know Girardi....

[Guest SI Metman]

Wow, I get the series that falls on my birthday this year.

[Lundy]

And I get a series which starts on my wedding anniversary. Now I've got two things to remember for that day.

[Elster88]

Oh god, please, not with the "Jake Monster" again.

[Guest GYC]

When did this party happen?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sorry. You want in?

valadius and Mex17 haven't been around, and I imagine they won't be peeved if you take one of their slots.

[metirish]

GYC there should be plenty of chances to jump in, last season I think I did three KTE's, people drop out for various reasons....

[Guest GYC]

I'll just wait for someone to drop out, don't worry. I think I kind of remember the thread, and not responding because I had computers breaking on me left and right and didn't want to be unreliable.

"Fever Pitch" was on TV today, so I watched a bit -- for my favorite scene:

"You want the Yankees game? Let me see you dance.

Let's see you going here. That's not Yankee dancing. That's Devil Ray dancing..."


[substitute Edgy as the Jimmy Fallon character and apply as needed to the distribution of KTE assignments...]

[MFS62]

Do a good job learnin' them, Irish.
But it won't so me much good. By the time my KTE for them comes around, they may have turned their roster over a few times.

Later

[Guest *62]

I see I got the third series vs. the Nats ................. what do I need to do?

[MFS62]

You'll see from the first two.
Generally its a recap of the other team, how well they're doing, who's hot, not,shot.
Then, you might put in something about how they've done against the Mets in the past (any Met killers), or any Mets who do well against them.
But you are not limited to/ bound by what I said.
It can be anything that would help someone "Know Thy Enemy".

Later

[nymr83]

Someone can take my spot, I totally forgot to do it last year and I'm likely to forget again.

[Guest Edgy DC]

GYC, what'll it be?

[Guest GYC]

I'll take it.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I'd like to bow out, too. I'm not really a KTE'er.

[Guest Iubitul]

ScarletKnight (it must be more than a flesh wound to have that name) and I will switch - I'll take the Giants series in April.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We should make this a membership criterion. I mean, "I don't do those." C'mon.

So wa-hut? Strap 'em on and get in the game, Alfonso. If you stink, then you stink. Life is fraught with risk It takes a village, you know.

Just ribbing. Update with changes. Rockin' Doc, exiled in Braveland, has been bumped up one Brave series to give us time to find a substitute. GYC has been given Nymr83's late-season Pittsburgh showdown, but I guess can grab that April 28-30 Brave series instead (I guess anybody can.) Iubitul and Scarlett have been switched, assuming she is down with that.

On edit: Fuggit, Old Original JB, grab a glove. You get the Braves April 28-30.

I've had worse!

(And thanks for the trade - I couldn't have handled the KTE the same week in which I had to knuckle down with two final projects.)
