5fouls Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 My brain didn't have the energy today to give this a lot of fault. Put Gaylord too quick on the Indians line. Could have used him on Texas for a better score in both squares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3,000 K club isn't all that big, and I just flat choked... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I really wanted a grid where I had Mays, Aaron, Cobb, and Bench that had CJ Cron as my highest score. I would have found that to be hilarious. But, dammit, I wracked my brain for 45 minutes and could not come up with someone other than Trout on Angels 30+ steals. I knew that would destroy my score, but I was on track to waste my day thinking about it, so I gave up. Of course, as soon as I come here to post, I see @IUFLAwith Bobby Bonds and I want to throw myself off a building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that all the time...Look at what you or @rico put up, and curse myself for an hour for not thinking of "that player." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked out the official list of Angels 30+ steals, and the name that was trying to burst through from my unconsciousness the whole time was Luis Palonia. I could see him, but my brain couldn't attach a name to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about mine, I would pay good folding money to hear Harry Caray butcher his way through my 40+ homers row 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 I can't believe I struggled as much as I did with 2 of the 3 Angels squares. It took me a long time to come up with Cron, but I figured he would only be about 10-15 percent. Was obviously wrong there. And then that 30+ box drove me as crazy as any single box in a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe both Willie Mays and Wade Boggs scored as low as they did in the Gold Glove/200 hit club...Especially Mays... I was pretty sure Ichiro would top that list...24% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Not the easiest grid. I had to step away and rest my brain for a coupe of hours before coming back and finishing the last 2 squares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 @^&%@&^@ Going through the grid, I got fixated with the fact that I should have used Tejada in the Houston 300 HR square instead of the Giants/Orioles square. So, when I went to put Berkman into what I thought was the 300 HR square, I clicked on the center square because it was adjacent to Tejada. Wrong category, leads to blank square. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the 2 I debated over as well...I picked Billingham simply because I had a nice conversation with him in the lobby of the Park Chase hotel in St Louis...Nice guy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Looks like it was close today... Mine totaled 23... I sometimes sacrifice score for guys I just liked... Joe Charboneau is one of those... I'd read that he pulled his own tooth with pliers and fishing line... That deserves a box, right there 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Spent 4-5 hours trying to get someone other than Giolito for the Angels/Sox square. Was surprised Lincecum was so high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
