Cleveland spanked them hard yesterday 14-2. Hopefully they'll play better against New York in the four game series. They're going to need to. The season is starting to near the end and they're 3½ games behind Oakland. They haven't much chance for the wild card, so they'll need to take the division to make the playoffs. Two rookie starting pitchers and a few more on the field, I guess I should feel lucky they're even in the pennant race.

gambler104:
true..a quality running back is the best pick at #3..

awesome: I would certainly look at LJ, LT perhaps, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Alexander. Manning is a bit of a risk that high. Look for worse fantasy numbers than last year since defenses will drop back even more.

Jim Dandy:

Larry Johnson never played for Denver!!!!.... his 3 years as a pro have been with K.C....last year he had 1750 yds. at a 5.2yd per carry avg. with 20 TDs, only 5 fumbles in 330+ carries...definetely the #1 player to take in a fantasy league based on stats and now playing with a new coach (Herman Edwards) who relies on the run game....

Nothingness:I'm a little concerned that Johnson might come down to earth after leaving Denver.Every back seems to flourish in Denver

McGahee, Carson Palmer or Buffalo's DST...

Well i was looking at the big 3 LT, LJ, and Alexander. Im in a high bonus league. standard scoring withthe following bonuses ...20 pt bonus for a td over 60 yds, 15 pt bonus over 40, 10pt over 25yds, adn 5pts over 11yds. my passing bonuses are pretty much the same. also I get 1 pt for every reception. Qbs get 1 pt for every 25yds upto 249yds, and anythign over 249 is 2pts and over 300 yds its 3pts and over 400 pts 4pts. our average scores are 190-150. I know the leagues scoring system has a lot to do with who you pick. im reluctant to go with alexander and LJ if he loses his main lineman. and also LT is hurting. this is an 8 team league i may keep steve smith as my keeper since i picked him up as a late rd pick(6th rd) last year.

Nothingness:

P.Manning,L.Johnson, or L.Tomlinson...whoever is available at # 3

Nothingness: who do you have in the firsts two slots?

does anyone here play and if you do who do you suggest picking up in the #3 slot?

COME ON YOU HORRRRRRRRNETS

Very nice to see it not get too much media attention - no point in rewarding people like this with what they want.

What is the story behind the purple paint canisters on the 18th green?

rednaz23: friend of mine does it every year here on lanzarote. he got kind of addicted to it i think and says that it isnt easy to stop the training routine. he started with this four years ago.

rednaz23:
is that where you drink beer, play chess and watch a sporting event all at the same time ? I've done a few...

Anyone ever done a triathalon?

Andersp: ah right, i havent seen that site before. I just stick to the eurpeantour site. I can come an eye on Marks ranking and statistics that way.

WatfordFC: Yup :) i visit a lot of golfsites mostly this

http://www.thegolfchannel.com/

they have rather fun discussionboards too :)

Andersp: Ah, did u use the site before hand then ??

WatfordFC: I have European tour bookmarked :)

Andersp: Your spelling was correct

The back 9 was brilliant, jsut gutted for him now.

Anyway if u would like to follow Mark's progress throughout the rest of the season, then log onto www.europeantour.com. He is currently back on the challenge tour, but ranked 10th he is sure to get his card for the euro tour next season.

WatfordFC: Must give him a lot of selfconfidence (sp?)..68 is a great score, one of the lowest today...tell him congrats from an old swedish golfer who almost made it to St Andrews many years ago LOL

missed the cut by one what a round he had, we are very proud of him, that was a very galant round

Gawd it must be lonely out there, they are the last 3 on the course lol

Andersp: Talking to my uncle now, Marks dad, he is hoping he will welly it lmao

Andersp: Woods had an eagle there yesterday...not impossible indeed!!!

WatfordFC: Hole 18 left...513 metres par 5..no impossible eagle he can make it!:)

Andersp: LOL, yeah they do that over here as well, they only seem to televise the big players, as soon as Marks group tee'd off they started playing the highlights of today lol

WatfordFC: Of course...but its 3.50 here, they can show him all night, no need to stop the live before all players are done

Andersp: Tiger Woods had a fantastic around today, he deserves to be where he is.

WatfordFC: another birdie but it seems as the cut has changed to -1 again

WatfordFC: Guess what they show here right now when a lot of players are still not finished?...yup..a replay of Tiger Woods second round LOL...very exciting

WatfordFC: 7 and 13 cost him 7 hits...otherwise he'd be 4 under par...5 holes left now...it's definitely not impossible to make 3 birdies...

OH well, he has just had another bogie, wont do it now

Andersp:

WatfordFC: Yup...first par 5 = birdie..only 2 more :)

Andersp: LOL , god u make it sound so simple lol

WatfordFC: cut is Even now..no eagle needed LOL

Andersp: God i hope your right, him making the cut this weekend, will be perfect, as he is also just about to become an uncle for the very first time any hour now

Pedro Martínez: I know, bummer

WatfordFC: Hm...that 7 probably didn't fit him...double bogey yesterday and bogey today...

WatfordFC: OK..well he has still 3 par 5s to play...1 eagle and 2 birdies...piece of cake :)

Andersp: No , the prize fund is jsut for the 70 players who make the cut.

WatfordFC: What if he misses the cut, does he get any money?
Projected cut is -1 right now

Pedro Martínez: He has just had a bogie on the 7th

WatfordFC: 3 birdies to go...:)

He has just birdied the 5th, now ahead of Colin Montgomerie

Pedro Martínez: Yes, he needs to keep his nerve, he has just pulled one back after bogying the 2nd. Fingers crossed
