Okay time to vote. Please have your vote in by 12 noon on Sunday. Josh is safe. If anyone has found an imunity idol and would like to play it you should do so via sitemail now.

I will post questions shortly...after a diaper change...no not for me.

1. Josh - how were you able to so thoroughly dominate this challenge?

2. Stevey- For the most part in the individual challenges we have had everyone picking different teams. How much research goes into it?

3. Delta- You and Josh pick the same team and both are at home yet he romps. Is it luck or a difference in opponents?

3. Stain-The records of the players are starting to spread out. Can and do you vote based on performance or is it something else?

5. Foolish- what made you play your card here?

6. Btown- Last week some were surprised to see dtown go, any more surprises tonight?

6. Sxyanks- feeling vulnerable tonight?

8. Scz- As stated the better you finish in this challenge the better your advantage in the next one. Does that worry you at all?


Remember you can answer questions not adressed to you as long as you answer your own.

I need delta and soxyanks to each choose heads or tails to break their respective ties. They get to call it as they simed their game first.

3. Stain-The records of the players are starting to spread out. Can and do you vote based on performance or is it something else?

I have been trying to vote on two requirements, one on record and two on who do i have the best chance against if i make the final four. I have tried to play the games heads up but almost everyone at this stage of the game has politicked. Alliances have become valuable to have. So now you gotta factor that into everything. Who can you truly trust? I feel i have a solid alliance and I know who I can trust.

Two things. 1-Schmidt did Hall of Fame work handing out the pre-game greenies. 2-We hired the gal in the Phillies shirt to coach at 1B.

6. Btown- Last week some were surprised to see dtown go, any more surprises tonight?

That is really not in my hands. I have stated many times I don't have an alliance, There are players I trust and respect but no alliance. My vote is alone, so it is really a non factor in this game. as far as surprises go, Josh is safe everyone else is potentially leaving. I guess I would be surprised if there was no surprise

6. Sxyanks- feeling vulnerable tonight?

maybe since u spelled my name wrong and out my numbers!

vulnerable?...lmao ...um no...

Yeah I never put the numbers in your name unless its a copy paste job

5. Foolish- what made you play your card here?

I simmed my Rockies team in 8 Games against 70's teams they went 6 wins 2 losses against Josh's exact pitcher 3 wins 1 loss 19 runs in 1 game 41 total in 4 games thats why and Mike Schmidt was his entire offense so who knows So the hall of famer spent the night with the girl in the picture drinking and carrying on while my team gave up back to back to back doubles .... GG Josh

Not a whole awful lot, at least for me. I do a quick search to identify a few possibilities, look at those in closer detail, and make a pick. Usually, other people pick the teams I was considering, so seems like we're taking similar approaches.

3. Delta- You and Josh pick the same team and both are at home yet he romps. Is it luck or a difference in opponents?

difference in opponents and a little luck...you have to take into account that josh got to face Rockies pitching. In all the games I simmed the lone dbl in this game was by far the fewest. As josh and I agreed, there wasnt really another team of the same quality as the 75 Phillies for this challenge...not even close. and no foolish, Schmidt wasnt the entire offence. I had a .287 hitter in my 8 hole for heavens sake. Regardless, I'm just happy to have one my game to see what benefit it has on the next challenge...should I make it that far...I'd be lying if I said I wasnt worried...
