  1. I'm in 2 other online leagues but it's the 1st time in 18 years that I'm not in a money league w/a live draft. I co-founded a league that has stayed together for 18 years but I quit for two reasons: it was dull-the owners didn't talk, few responded to trade proposals, and the only time we communicated was at the draft; and the Commissioner (I was the Commissioner for the 1st 6 years) insists on using All-Star Stats. "ASS" is a horrible stats service: the website hasn't changed in 4 years, there is no "app", and it costs $39/team. I'd rather use ESPN (free) or Sportsline ($15) but the Commissioner didn't want to learn a new system. I thought I'd find another league but couldn't. Perhaps I shouldn't have left. I'd still like to join a "money", mixed, league (not H2H) if anybody knows of one.
  2. Past 10:30, I'll be drafting Mike Nikeas and Ryota Igarashi. Yes I'm old.
  3. Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball. Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball? Pedro Cerrano (looking at golf club covers): Hats for bats, keep bats warm. And then Pedro Cerrano became President of the United States.
  4. A tough decision, as they must be in these final rounds. When I saw that Mandy Patinkin was performing in NY, the first thing I thought of was this movie. Nevertheless, I went with the movie that makes me laugh every time I see it.
  5. CPF Fun Fact: the part of the pilot that was played by Kareem Abdul Jabaar was originally written for Pete Rose. Airplane! wins again, even though Die Hard is very good.
  6. I voted for Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago. HEY-BATTA, HEY-BATTA, HEY-BATTA... SWIIING BATTA!!!
  7. "Where Triples Go To Die." "The Thrill of the Grass." Easy win for Field of Dreams.
  8. HEY! I was messing with AG! And since when does our criteria matter? I will continue to vote on the merits. Even if it means voting for an anti-Semite like Mel Gibson. OK?
  9. Good one Edgy--well played. So yes, I would take any movie ever made over anything starring the Governor of California or Mel Gibson, even though I liked "Running Man."
  10. Naked Gun is funny from start to finish and it includes one of the best baseball sequences ever. I'll take Leslie Neilsen over Arnold Schwarzenegger any day of the week.
  11. Frank: It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the problems of two people don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans! One of the greatest baseball sequences in history, including a perfect parody of baseball blooper reels. Naked Gun, Airplane!, Spinal Tap.... three of my all-time favorites.
  12. Perhaps you're thinking of the scene which makes you think that "Kevin Kline is a lucky man."
  13. In honor of Art Buchwald, I voted for Coming to America.
  14. "The thrill of the grass." "Dad... wanna have a catch?" Witness has a topless Kelly McGillis, but FOD is one of the greatest ever.
  15. Lloyd Dobler: What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it. Tough one but I like Say Anything better. Maybe it's my bias toward John Cusack.
  16. Down goes Mel Gibson AGAIN!
  17. We should have a separate tournament for baseball-related movies (Bill Simmons argues that Bull Durham is really a chick flick in disguise). Having said that, Bull Durham is wonderful, even though Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, as argued by Crash Davis. The look that Annie gives Crash on the porch in the final scene of the movies is priceless. And this is the film that gave Robert Wuhl the greatest moment of his career:
  18. Two good ones--I loved the Fletch books--but I went with Tom Hanks and John Candy. Remember how happy Candy's character was when he saw that his letter was published in [u:3tt9s8hq]Penthouse[/u:3tt9s8hq]?
  19. I thought of SKOW the other day when I saw Molly Hagen in an episode of The Ghost Whisperer. I swear, I was just sitting with my wife, waiting to see Jeniffer Love Hewitt.
  20. The use of Poltergeist in the new Direct TV ad is extra creepy because the cute little girl is dead. I don't like scary movies but I voted against Mel Gibson.
  21. It could be a reflection on Mel Gibson.
  22. [as Buttercup prepares to commit suicide with a dagger] Westley: There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours. My younger son read [u:gg29zdhv]The Princess Bride[/u:gg29zdhv] last year in school and loved it. After he finished, we watched the movie and it was still wonderful.
  23. "Talk about bun cakes, my girls got 'em." If I have to choose between Airplane! and Spinal Tap, my head will explode.
  24. BHC is the second movie in these polls that featured John Ashton (Midnight Run was the other).
