Yeah. Its funny that if you're on that AIC song on youtube and type in Pantera then it shows "10s" as the second to top on the autofill, despite that being not very common of a Pantera song. I guess that means a lot of fans realized it was a ripoff and wanted to go check. :lol:

I can't see Rick James without thinking of dave Chappelle, his show was great and the Rick James stuff was legendary sketch comedy. Charlie Murphy needs a mention for that as well

Yeah that was classic... Dave and Rick do look very similar. He was going to do a full length movie parodying Rick James but then he died.

Plus Charlie died and he coulda narrated the hell out of that. It probably would be in poor taste to make fun of a music icon that is dead though

Yep, which is why the best strategy is to make fun of Dave then die so he can't tease you back! ;)

btw, this is my very last chance at Ohtani getting hurt . . .just a few innings left. I'm going to have to send [MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] my precious Todd Huntley that I wine and dine every night... all night. :-|

Ohtani strikes out in the 8th. Angels needs to bat around to give him another chance to hurt himself. :grouphug:

https://www.mlb.com/news/mike-scioscia-wont-stop-ohtani-from-hr-derby/c-277448618

Scioscia said he'd let Ohtani hit in the HR derby....if he isn't injured by then he'll definitely get injured right after (or during) that.

I can't win now but I can afford losing if he gets hurt in a week nobody has him. . . this is a lot more fun than regular fantasy baseball, I say we do a big draft version of this next year. (or maybe even a post allstar break pool)

Who would be the player for the post all-star break pool? Or did the original Ohtani injury pool only run through the All-Star break? Someone must have bet on him not getting injured. If not, you wouldn't win but you wouldn't lose either.

[MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] has him not getting injured. This contest goes full year but I was thinking the Allstar break would be a good time to reset and start a possible side contest. Not a single player this time, but a draft where you get multiple players... and the person who has team with the most combined DL days would win. I think full draft would be better than this one, because if Ohtani would have been popped for PEDs on day 1 it would have been over. :( The other problem is he has played very very little so the risks aren't as fun as I thought.

Maybe we would have to wait until next season to start a new contest but I wouldn't mind having 2 going simultaneously. Getting as many Night Crewers to do it as possible would be a lot of fun.

Jack Flaherty, have yourself a game!!! 7.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 H, 13 K (W, 1-1)

However I am kicking myself cuz it looks like I'm gonna lose this week's fantasy game by just 10-15 points...however, if I had decided to call up Jack Flaherty from my minor league team instead of picking up Chad Kuhl off free agency I would have won :( Flaherty's start today will be worth 38.5 points alone, combine it with his other start this week and that's 51.5 pts! And what did Chad Kuhl do for me this week you may ask? 2 points...

This was my fault for not paying attention to the news. If I had known Flaherty was being called up again to start TWO games this week, let alone one I would have definitely taken him instead of Chad Kunt. We only get two transactions a week and I had used both of them by the time he pitched his first game.

I'd be down for that!

Haven't seen that one yet. My favorite superhero adaptations are still the early 90s Xmen and Batman cartoons. (I think I like them even better than any of the comic books) Its interesting to compare the cartoon episodes to the movies (such as Days of Future Past) and see which version is better.... never a contest!
