drama is right up your alley sox.

you just cant keep your mouth shut can ya pinkie?...damn, not sure who is worse u or that little girl Bastan!

So funny. I must be that damn good for you to remember to say my name out loud!

u 2 should be a friggen comedy team....Bastan on his Knees! 

Giants 4 - Dodgers 0.  

Mathewson tosses a complete game 3 hitter, in an uneventful game.

ps - thanks for your patience while we worked both of our schedules.

Woohoo! nice job nfet! go home pinkie!

BastanRedsox, dolphinsfan, toddleduc, eman7400, tropicana, kneeneighbor, steveymer and The Taint need to send me a vote for someone to send home. Voting deadline if Monday midnight. Any votes not cast by that time will not be counted. If anyone on the Red tribe wants to play an immunity idol, you must do so before the votes are read, which will be done when all the votes are in or the deadline arrives, whichever comes first.

Sorry tribe.  Never got anything going against Mathewson, and Allen, who was supposed to be the ace in the whole, gave up 3 runs in his first inning.  Pretty much over at that point.

Are there any questions for the pinkies, or is it only our team that has to air its dirty laundry? =D

Forgot all about it after spending two days on the road for work. Will have questions shortly!

BastanRedsox – How much did you consult with the tribe before sending in a list of teams?

dolpinsfan – Do you think it helps you to have won your game in each of the first two tribal challenges? Or do wins and losses not matter much?

toddleduc/eman7400 – After the two of you took down Drysdale and Koufax, things looked good for Red. When the lead was 4-1, did everyone on the tribe assume your group was safe?

tropicana – Neither tribe used Koufax’s best- or second-best season (judging them by whip, erc# or salary). Might that have been a mistake?

kneeneighbor – As one of three people to have received Idol clues from me, how goes the search? Should others worry that you have one or are getting close?

steveymer – 1908 Mathewson was the best SP used in this challenge (judging them by whip, erc# or salary). Did he completely shut your Dodgers down with the challenge on the line?

The Taint – Blue’s sweep with the 1908 Giants led the comeback. In an 11-10 game, were there things you could have done differently to get the win?

As always, please answer the question directed to you, and feel free to add your 2¢ on any others. And get the votes in!

I will answer a bunch of these.

BastanRedsox – How much did you consult with the tribe before sending in a list of teams?
We had both sets of Dodgers teams choosen. The NY Giants down to 3 teams and no work on the SF Giants. Bastan and I were playing a live game and we thought picking homefield would be important. I told him to pick between the 3 NY Giants teams and I worked on the SF Giants. We submitted before the game was over. In retrospect I dont think this is what lost us the game as the SF Giants was the team we did the least work on and they came out okay.
dolpinsfan – Do you think it helps you to have won your game in each of the first two tribal challenges? Or do wins and losses not matter much?
Wins and losses always matter. Are they always the prevailing decision? No but they matter.

toddleduc/eman7400 – After the two of you took down Drysdale and Koufax, things looked good for Red. When the lead was 4-1, did everyone on the tribe assume your group was safe? I know I did.

tropicana – Neither tribe used Koufax’s best- or second-best season (judging them by whip, erc# or salary). Might that have been a mistake?
As the person who did much of the research on the Koufax Dodgers I will say that we had a good year of Koufax and you cant just base off of getting the one pitcher. You had too choose 2 pitchers, and the offense and defense to go with it.
kneeneighbor – As one of three people to have received Idol clues from me, how goes the search? Should others worry that you have one or are getting close?
I honestly cant say how close I am to finidng it. And after seeing how they have played out the past two Survivors I am not sure I want to.
steveymer – 1908 Mathewson was the best SP used in this challenge (judging them by whip, erc# or salary). Did he completely shut your Dodgers down with the challenge on the line?
It sounds like we never had anything going against him.
The Taint – Blue’s sweep with the 1908 Giants led the comeback. In an 11-10 game, were there things you could have done differently to get the win?
There are always times you can look back and wonder what if I did this, or what if this had happened. Its what makes baseball a great game. All the possibilites that pop up even pitch to pitch.

BastanRedsox – How much did you consult with the tribe before sending in a list of teams?

I talked to about 3-4 guys on the subject, I know trop wanted to use a good pitcher, but didn't mind who. Knee helped with alot of research for me, while a couple others checked in. I turned it in after looking at the NY Giants because wanted the extra benifets. Even though we lost, we led the whole way, they were close games and most of the decisions looked to be right except for a couple. The NY Giants had no bulpen and I'm glad we split with them, but I think that is the only mistake I made when choosing the teams.

kneeneighbor – As one of three people to have received Idol clues from me, how goes the search? Should others worry that you have one or are getting close?

I know I am not worried at this point, but I sure am keeping a close eye on it.
