If you had to guess, how long would you say it's been since the first shtickless thread appeared in these forums?

5 years ago.

Do you know who ziro the hutt is, meat?

No, I do not.

To be fair, deano took on, just this season, 18 million of underperforming and really old contracts to make that happen, mike...

if you watch DWTS enough, won't that render you unconcious?

Isn't DWTS best enjoyed while unconscious?

That is not a question.

Hot women in skimpy outfits isn't really all that bad.

Not if you like hot women in skimpy outfits.

Probably not. Although, can you say the same for the next three seasons after this one?

Does she keep your balls in her purse while you watch the show together?

I've got a 29-year old four-time All Star SS with fielding ratings basically at 80 across the board. I have some options with range closer to 90 and arm strength ranging from 85-98 but their gloves are no better and they cannot hit.

Am I better off with Mr. All Star at SS or with one of the rangier guys playing SS and the All Star moving to a less-challenging defensive position? These defensive guys, we're looking at three of the four contact/power/vsL/vsR ratings below fifty in each case while the hitter who gets bumped from the lineup is a legit ML hitter.

Probably not.

Probably not.

Nope, my balls are firmly attached to me. Even funnier is that I may have got her watching it. Kenny Mayne(ESPN anchor) and Jerry Rice(greatest WR ever) were on. Sad to say, I was hoping to see Jerry Rice struggle out of his element. KM sucked, JR stuck around all season. But I digress. She walked in and said "WTF are you watching?" To which I replied "Jerry Rice is trying to dance!"

It depends on the construction of your team. Do you need offense or would an upgrade in defense help your pitching more? I usually look to see where I fall in the world average. If you're top 8 in hitting, fielding and pitching, you'll make the playoffs. If you have a weakness, you might miss them.

When ESPN ranks Derek Jeter as the 3rd-best fantasy SS for this season, what are they smoking?

Also, I received the first issue of my MLB Insiders Club magazine yesterday. Guess who's on the cover?

Crack. He should be the #1 overall option. He's a leader. You have to have a leader.

Pujols is on the cover of everything but I'll assume it's JETER, BEST SS EVAH!!!
