I've spent the whole summer renovating this room.

Beneath the TV will be a mantle and a fireplace eventually. The town requires a permit for that though, blah, blah blah. I just tought I'd share it nearing completion. Couch comes on Saturday, and then some minor stuff and it will be done minus the fireplace.

It's a pretty sweet place to watch the Gmen destory people.

I offered someone Papelbon, Swisher, and Orlando Hudson for Utley and Scorio(KC closer)

SOmeone offered me Migual Cabrera for Cano and Inge.

I think If I can get both trades it would make my team stronger.

My new roster would be.

Top 50

Woogie526 — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:23:28 -0000

I have 13 of the top 50 players in my league

I figured we'll discuss who's start is for real and who's is not.

3) Orlando Hudson

8) Cano

10) A. Gonz

12) Billingsley

13) Longoria

19) Vernon Wells

23) Adam Jones

25) Nick Swisher

36) Broxton

39) Inge

47) Lincecum

48) Jason Kubel

50) Adam Dunn

I think Cano's start is for real, he looks like a different player at the plate this year. A Gonz, and Longoria. Lincecum, and Billingsley will probably end up top 50.

I'm not confident in any one else to be top 50 by the end of the year.

Your thoughts?

Grading our mock

Woogie526 — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:28:23 -0000

I went through and looked at our mock draft. We got 5 picks our of 32 right.

CJ screwed it all up by taking Smith first. We might have gotten a few more right if he had started us off right!

We shouldn't feel bad though, I read that the best mock draft out there only got 10 of 32. So for not being experts I think we faired alright. Besides We got the Raiders pick right by accident.

Should I

Woogie526 — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:06:29 -0000

My pitching has been sub-par

We play in a strange scoring system. W's for a pitcher are 10 points, where strikeouts are 2 each. My starters are 7-10.

I'm still in first because my hitting has been abover average.

Here is my roster.

C: Bengie Molina

1B: Adrian Gonzalez

2B: Cano

3B: Longoria

SS: Cabrera

OF: Sizemore

OF: Wells

OF: Adam Jones

DH: Kubel

Utl: Orlando Hudson

Bench:

Adam Dunn

Jermaine Dye

Inge

Swisher

Choo

Guerrero DL

SP: Lincecum

SP: Peavy

SP: Lee

SP: Pettite

SP: Scherzer

SP: Billingsley ( he was on waivers i dropped Dice K)

RP: Papelbon

RP: Broxton

RP: Downs( Had BJ Ryan)

RP:Soriano

I've been trying to package swisher with someone but can't get any hits. Should I try for any trades, or just wait out my pitchers starting to get Wins? I'm new to fantasy baseball.

March Madness

Woogie526 — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:55:03 -0000

I know there was a Big Blue View Fantasy Team this season. I always love doing March Madness Brackets. I started a yahoo group for Big Blue view Pick em.

The group ID is Group ID #19276

Hopefully we can have a big turnout and trash talk about it here. Pride is on the line, since I can't wager anything related to the site :P

I just thought it could be fun, not football related but sports related.

A-11 Offense faces potential ban

Woogie526 — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:55:37 -0000

It is only around because a loophole in a HS level rule. But why stifle innovation to the game?

I think they should alter the rules to say if everyone on the field is eligible then you need to be set to start the play by a certain time on the play clock, otherwise it is a delay of game.

I think that would even the playing field. I'm all for trying to evolve the game.

Worst Bet Ever(Possibly NSFW)

Woogie526 — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:34:58 -0000

This may not be safe for work. I don't remember if they drop an F bomb or not.

This is not purely Giants news, however it is football and blog related and ends with an Eagles fan getting bashed in the face with a cookie sheet.

I read Deadspin on occassion and the old editor is a Cardinals fan, and new editor is an Eagles fan. They are friends outside of the site as well it seems.

They did a mayor's bet about the championship game

The Eagles fan bet

1) A sushi dinner

2) Would take a cookie sheet to the face from the winner of the bet

3) Would get a tattoo of a buzzsaw(what the Arizona fan refers to the Cardinals as)

He went through with it all.

http://deadspin.com/5137239/and-lets-get-bashed-in-the-face

That's the cookie sheet to the face. It is totally sophomoric, however I bet cjm and the rest of the Gmen fans that live outside Philly would enjoy seeing an Eagles fan take a cookie sheet to the face. Moral: Never bet on a football game.

I'll save you the link to the tattoo.

Observation

Woogie526 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:16:24 -0000

We were discussing the game today and he pointed out that we were 4-1 against the teams left in the playoffs this year during the regular season.

We beat Arizona handily.

We beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

We beat the Ravens down hardcore.

And we split with the Eagles until the playoffs. That makes that lose so much more painful. I thought I'd share the observation because I wonder if it's happened before.

Stupid Gilbride and his idiotic game plan.
