We might have a problem here if ESPN doesn't amp up their servers. Whenever Wellie and I play we get some serious freakin lag. Like unplayable serious.
He has said in the past that he gets a bit when we play Madden but I've never noticed anything (maybe that's why he always beats me, hmmmmm). But if the lag stays this way then our games wont happen.

Should be done in an hour. Should I swing at every first pitch and ground out everytime to make it faster?

:lol Looks like leagues are down. :lol :lol :lol
We should just do one day rounds. I think that will work well for everyone.
Fuck it, just give me the loss since you guys are so antsy to play. Leagues are down though, so don't know how much that will help.

league advanced friends. just a couple things of note:
1. look @ the league page to see advancement date
2. i will deal with all "pending" trades right before i advance each week. so, if you need to make a trade, it's going to wait to the end of the current week to be approved

You mean who's the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? That would be me. Angels started off their season with a devastating 2-1 loss to the Cardinals in the 19th inning. A day later it still hurts just as bad.

Yeah dude, Palmeiro is JUICED. 2 solo bombs that won the game, sheesh.
Man I shouldn't have gone with the Yankees. I prefer NL style small ball and this team just isn't equipped for it. The one run I had I manufactured. Lead off hit, stolen base, bunt over to third and a fielders choice score. Twice in the late innings I led off with a baserunner into scoring position. A double, and a triple. Both times I could do nothing. I tried a suicide squeeze but I fucked up and missed the bunt twice, so I ended up having to swing away. And JEEZUS, getting thrown out at home SUCKS.
Well FMT I'm gone tomorrow morning until Friday night. And I wont be available till after 11 mountain time Friday. Is there anyway to overturn scores yet? Cause if you need to advance because I'm out of town for a couple of days we could play Saturday afternoon outside the league play and have that score count.
I would really appreciate it if everyone could wait but I understand if you are all excited to get going.
Just don't make me miss two games. Please.

I'm looking to play tonight (Wednesday). I'll be available after 5 pm eastern.
Anyone up for a game or two? PM Me.
BTW, I've noticed some SERIOUS lag plaing games on ESPN as well. I've blown a perfect game because the lag during a pitch. They really need to get this fixed and soon.

Man this game is shitty. Chan Ho Park is a stud! Well, I won't touch on that, because I swung when I didn't need to (still too hard to read pitches without a good check swing).....but those two runs you scored (2-0 win) were just ridiculous! On the first one, my fielder was too slow (I agree with whoever said that) and a shitty hit turned into a triple. On the next run, my third base man did the usual slo mo animation for a fly, this one just a foot out of the infield (man, we had a ton of infield popups) except he missed it. Insane error leads to another error. We might have gone on all day if it wasn't for the slow fielders and the retarded non catch. At least they can catch anything if it's a foul!

No where near as bad as Tim Wakefield's knuckle ball.
It tap dances all over the screen, and then seeing a changeup after it is blazingly fast, let alone a fastball.ConfusingJazz

Anybody else besides me hate that when the shortstop tries to dive for a ball, so does the outfielder, letting the winning run in, cause I know I hate it...
Oh, and I had another inside the park homer off ramierz.

Kevin Millwoods nasty curve ball is just as leathal. 16 Ks in one online game. ONE FREAKING HIT away from a perfect game. Got to the bottom of the 7th a curve went awry and floated over the middle. Base hit... shit.
SOMEONE PM ME! I WANT TO PLAY TONIGHT!!! DAMMIT I NEED MY FIX!

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!

Yea, my set-up man went an inning and a half, so he's gone. Lame as shit. I'll look for whoever I'm supposed to play tonight. I play this stupid game not at all outside of these games now, so have at me!
Wellington said:No where near as bad as Tim Wakefield's knuckle ball.
LMAO... yeah that change up you're talking about would be Tim Wakefield's fastball. He doesnt have a change-up. But come on Wellie... you know a 60 MPH knuckle, then a 78 MPH fastball is easier to adjust to then a dirty ass knucklecurve coming at 70 and then a 94 MPH fastball.
