Wow dude...ur still in HIGH SCHOOL???  You know your baseball!  Color me impressed.  When I was your age, I played Strat-o-matic for 3-4 hours a day and that was the only way to get a baseball fix.  Now, you got WIS and probably never even heard of Strat-o-matic of ABPA lol.

Kinda funny actually....when I was in high school, I organized a Strat o matic league with about 7 other friends.  We had a draft, and compilied a team.  Then, all summer we played a schedule.  Used to have to bring our Strat o matic cards (team) in our back pockets and bike to our opponents house to play a 3 or 6 game series (whoever was the road team had to travel lol).  T'was kinda a precursor to THIS lol.

I just sent a sitemail to amerk1180, Got_Worms, lilspike0738 and smartian with my latest wish list.

d_rock97, are you even a Red Sox fan?  I can't BELIEVE you took Nomar from me!  That hurt!

I'm a Tigers fan so I'm a bit salty because of the last few years between Red Sox and Tigers, but I still get chills when I see 4 nights in October I believe it's called when the Red Sox overcame the 3-0 deficit in 2004. Top 5 favorite moments in baseball.

Edit: I almost forgot. I'm not really a Red Sox fan, I'm a Nomar fan. Back when I was 7-8, I'd play MVP baseball '03 and I loved Nomar because he had the cool name and was one of the better rated players in the game. Still hasn't changed, I love Nomar

Yeah, I actually became a WIS member when I was 12 when my uncle Achillesred introduced me to the site. I became a little discouraged when I had like a .367 win %. I came back to the site just over a year ago and improved my win % from .367 to .487 so watch out, there's a new superpower on the site!

But I'm a huge star junkie. What I do when I'm bored is go onto baseball-reference and just look up random things. It'll start with 2004 Cardinals, then I see John Mabry. "Woah, John Mabry! I remember him being my backup 1B/RF on MVP baseball 03 on my PlayStation 1 (crazy that there have been 3 consoles since. I'm a senior now so I'm reflecting on all my old friends and cartoons and such) but I'll click on John Mabry to see how "good" he was. He played on the Mariners? "Wow! He was on the same team with Ken Griffey, A-Rod, Edgar Martinez on the 99 Mariners!" "Wait, Damaso Marte was on that team?" So I'll click on him. And he played on the World Series winning 2004 White Sox so I'll click on them and it goes like that until lunch is over or I get a headache from my computer screen. It's not like I'm some loner at lunch, I have 3 friends who are addicted to baseball like I am that I've been friends with forever and while they aren't star nerds like me, we have debates about our favorite players and who's gonna win the WS and prospects and such. So while we don't have our strat-o-matic leagues, we do have our top 10s and during baseball season we have our own Fantasy Baseball league. Sorry, like I said, I'm reflecting on things now.

achillesred is a god..lol..tell him I said so and come back to my league soon

You know your stuff, d_rock. Always good to get an infusion of young blood in the game. Now stop taking all the good players....

I was at Yankee Stadium for Game 7 in 2004. The place was rocking. Until Damon hit the grand slam. You could have heard a pin drop. Made my Yankee friends stay til the end to watch the Sox dance on the mound....

We're a lot alike, d_rock... I also started on this site when I was 12 years old, and I'm also quite obsessed with stats and scores from the past. Nice to have you here!!

I'll select Willie McCovey, 1B

OF Ken Williams

Sitemailed next three. I need to travel today for a funeral. In the somewhat unlikely event that we bat around today, will do my best to pick off of a list I'm taking with me. Otherwise should be back online around 7pm.

He definitely knew what he was talking about, but he hated talking about WIS with me, because once we started, there was no stopping us, we weren't getting off that topic for the rest of the night.
