In "Is this a great game or what?" Timmy says that this is one of the few things he doesn't like about baseball. Rickey Henderson lost about 20-40 steals because no one ever bothered to throw when they knew that there was no chance of getting him. It does happen to be called most of the time when nobody bothers to go cover the base but holding a runner on does not often preclude it from being called.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-60239577774709849282007-08-15T16:59:00.000-04:002007-08-15T16:59:00.000-04:00CMif everyone gets knocked out, everyone buys back...CM<BR/><BR/>if everyone gets knocked out, everyone buys back in?

Do you give up your draft pick for the round you took them, or do you just get to keep say 4 or 5 players then do a draft regardless of which players you kept. In the second situation you always draft best talent available, in the first it's more tricky. You're number 3 pick isn't really the 3rd overall pick, it's your first round pick for the next few years. Honestly, I'd use the pick then for manning, and wait till rounds 2 or 3 to take your first running back. Maroney, Reggie Bush, Jones-Drew, Brandon Jones, and Cedric Benson are all projected 2nd round picks in standard leagues who are 25 years or younger. And you might even look at fitzgerald and bouldin and such. Remember, no position in the NFL is as punishing on players as running backs, and tying yourself to one in a keeper league is a biiig gamble.Not A Gunslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643670897270124145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-61235137775714863622007-08-15T14:55:00.000-04:002007-08-15T14:55:00.000-04:00I keep telling people not to be so sure Vick to go...I keep telling people not to be so sure Vick to go away for a long time (if at all). Everyone is assuming the pleas that his friends copped are going to burn him but don't you think they might have been counciled by Vick's team just a bit? Sure he's the big fish in this case (and, by the way, who is the "bigger fish to fry" that I hear referenced? Is there some kind of corporate structure to dog fighting? Some guy running things from on high? Give me a break - the only "big fish" in dog fighting are celebrities involved in it. Vick IS the big fish no matter what Emmitt Smith thinks) but it's no sure thing that he's going to jail. Where is the precedent in this case? Some federal case that ended with the ringleader going away for 6 months? Not sure where the 2-3 years idea comes from. Maybe it's correct, but I'd like to see a clearer line drawn. In any case, I still don't expect to see him on the field again.starkweatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067659960128584230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13320856639850697092007-08-15T14:43:00.000-04:002007-08-15T14:43:00.000-04:00Just a builder on the keeper fantasy draft informa...Just a builder on the keeper fantasy draft information...<BR/><BR/>Sitting at the #3 pick in a keeper league right now is just about the best place you can be - you're guaranteed one of LdT, Gore or SJax. Not one of them would be a bad choice at the 3, and considering LdT is the oldest of the three and has the most mileage, he might actually fall to you there.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't agree more with eric's analysis on wide receivers - unless you get one of the young studs like Fitz or Roy or Anquan, you might as well just save them for rounds 5-8 and rebuild the corps every year.<BR/><BR/>And Carson Palmer would be my first choice at QB, followed by Peyton, Leinart, Brees, Rivers and Brady. VY could fit in there too, depending how much credit running QBs get in the league, though running QBs have a shorter shelf life in general. Never know when one of them is going to blow out a knee. <BR/><BR/>Or get thrown in federal prison...Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478232002387175988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-55822270001841948572007-08-15T14:25:00.000-04:002007-08-15T14:25:00.000-04:00in honor of Seinfeld (since you mentioned it)...ML...in honor of Seinfeld (since you mentioned it)...<BR/><BR/>MLB Stud - "Oh its got cachet baby...its got cachet up the ying yang!!"Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253802352087595359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-38347203881012545702007-08-15T13:56:00.000-04:002007-08-15T13:56:00.000-04:00Two more guests: Wayne Gretzky, Rick Reily.Two more guests: Wayne Gretzky, Rick Reily.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-35500283072106902422007-08-15T13:31:00.000-04:002007-08-15T13:31:00.000-04:00Dan Patrick is on today for the first of his last ...Dan Patrick is on today for the first of his last three days on ESPN radio.<BR/><BR/>His guests: Billy Crystal, David Stern, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, and others.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-66159311604336438492007-08-15T13:23:00.000-04:002007-08-15T13:23:00.000-04:00worst sandler? little nicky? 50 first dates (nev...worst sandler? little nicky? 50 first dates (never actually saw that one)? <BR/><BR/>and i think we should all remember sandler's cameo as the devil in Dirty Work, one of the greatest works in American cinematic history.<BR/><BR/>OH NO, NOW HES GOT THE CHAINSAW.
