[bragging] I had Edwin Jackson starting tonight.

26, and probably at least a half dozen because I was forced to in high school. Pretty poor showing I'd say, although that's still a better percentage than Texiera is hitting.

I heard somewhere, I think in WFAN pregame, that Mejia is learning English with the help of Family Guy. as recommended by one of his teammates.

But not the derelict ruins that actually exist. The Marvel Movie Universe version of the fairgrounds is a lively, neon-splashed place. I was looking for a glimpse of Citi Field, but no luck. It was obviously a CGI landscape, so there would be no chance of Citi "accidentally" getting on camera. The battle with Whiplash in Monaco was probably the coolest scene. And Scarlet Johansen, not surprisingly, made for a sexy Black Widow. I agree with this, but I bumped it up to 4 for the Flushing connection cause that always makes me happy. Mets Police found an image of a stadium on a viral site a couple of weeks ago (http://metspolice.com/2010/04/09/looks-like-shea-stadium-was-renovated-in-iron-mans-universe/) Looks almost like a cross between Shea and Citi to me. I spent half the fairgrounds scenes trying to spot it. In the video stark watchs of his father's message to him, little tony picks up a piece off the map to play with, and it almost looked like that may have been the stadium. I downloaded the movie last night so i could watch the Thor teaser at the end that I missed, so maybe I'll take another look.

On the flip side, I bet we could pick up Daniel murphy real cheap now..

Seriously, this guy's still homeless? Come in out of the cold, Hyoo-rees, and into the Familia. That was my first thought when I saw the topic. This guy has been quietly touted as impending awesome for the last couple of months, if not longer.

Draft can be fun. They take too long sometimes though, can be a pain if you're in a lot. Rookie mistake on my part I guess, not realizing how slim pickings would be. Still wish it wouldn't have some NAs so high.

Was out celebrating last night and didn't get to the draft. I've always had good luck with prerankings..but Iguess NL field is so slim.. ouch..eww...I've got Tatis, Sheffield, and Delgado. *shudder* Oh, and Pedro and Dukes also, of the NA guys.

"And despite Manuel's comments" Why do I feel like this is too common a phrase? Why does it seem like Omar spends half of every discussion clarifying, explaining, or correcting something Jerry has said? If you can't get Manuel to shut up and be on the same page as the organization, why is he here?

I'm just throwing this out there as a forecasting exercise while testing my theory about actually seeing the films being a detriment to accurate predictions I was refraining from predicting since I hadn't seen them but in that case.. give me a minute.

Arguably, I don't care about any of the awards because they never reflect the decisions most people make when they go to see a movie. I don't see how Avatar doesn't win best picture though given the hype and production of it. I wonder if I'll even be able to watch though. silly ABC/etc.

I guess 7 pitches isn't that many that it should become a huge issues. I'm always a fan of no limits. The case for limits is that one person could continually swap in pitchers and get a lot more innings and rack up more wins, etc. And I guess with only ER on the negative side that could be the case. Lesse, 5 pitchers, at 200ip each would be 1000 innings, maybe 75 for the two relievers, so 1150. I guess 1250 does work okay, but I'd support bumping it up to 1400 or 1500 to support a 6th or 7th bench pitcher if that's the way someone chose to go.

I despise inning limits, just fyi. :-D and 1250 is nowhere near enough I wouldn't think.

I like 10 teams for NL-only... last year I was in a 12 team NL only and literally every full time starter (and more guys that weren't even) was in an active lineup. I agree, I enjoy fantasy baseball, but I don't enjoy combing 5th starter possibilities and keeping up on which prospect the Pirates are starting that may get me a good performance or with 5th starter I ended up with that's gotten demoted to the bullpen.

I'm in. Hope I don't max out my Yahoo leagues again this year.

I do Netflix. Generally just burn the movie and instantly send it back. This way I always have a cache of movies I haven't seen on hand. Now with insta-streaming through the Playstation, I have even more options to pick from. If I'm really desperate I'd probably bittorrent a movie before actually leaving the house to go to blockbuster or hollywood video. (I wonder where either of my rental cards are..hmm..)

I'd wanted to see it, as it sounded like a fun concept, but that's generally the response I've gotten from people that have seen it. It was good for a handful of jokes and the rest of the movie sucked.

Was definitely my favorite comedy of 2009. 500 Days of summer I thought pretty much sucked. That was supposed to be a comedy?
