| Message | Can we get an accurate final update from someone who doesn't have a vested interest in its outcome....uhhh that being Danny of course. I find it hard to believe that Don actually won and that we are all taking his word for it based on some magical numbers he is making up in his head. |

| Message | congrats to the fighters donny gets full credit for believing that anyone could win despite the unreal contract trios that existed on some teams.. i spoke with don before the auction and explained the reason for my outlandish moves and he was adamant that anything could happen and a championship could be won with a good auction and a few lucky breaks. the hurricanes showed a lack of passion this year by virtually eliminating themselves from contention "prior" to the auction by gambling on one player to save the ailing franchise in a years time. by not finishing in the top five for the first time and finally being unseated as the reigning champion in the rating system i designed, i'm hopeful that this is rock bottom for my franchise. the hurricanes are more like a chinook these days.. warming your faces and hearts as they breeze by... ![]() |

| Message | ok i couldn't resist.. i may be wrong here but i believe helton's homer ties rob with dan in homers for one point and i think harold's 9 earned runs assures that he lost that point to pat (who did give up 1 ER). that has to be calculated to make sure but it seems like a safe bet. so that would give rob 42 to harolds 41. tim's average also went up and yahoo has him tied with derksen.. though that won't change the standings. |

| Message | rethinking our auction strategies: file this under the "no one cares" category but i have to tell you that i am totally shocked at having hung on to the lead for nearly the entire year. losing my most valuable players with five weeks to go was one thing (bedard, sheffy) (then glaus with 3 to go).. but the fact that i lost my top-priced starter and closer in week 2 is what really blows me away. that was $44 of my team down for the year right off the bat. so basically i started with a team that was, what- $70 behind pat? i always balked at dan's motto of pitching wins championships but it sure was true this year. i don't know how dan does his formulas but i imagine my bang-for-buck for C.C., haren, hudson, bedard and hill is enormous. i don't know how i pulled those bargains out of my arse but i am awfully pleased! (remember tim's comment about my signing of bedard! wooo!) anyway, forgive me for reveling in my victory but my wife sure as hell doesn't care to hear about it! K'Rod's option at $22 is on the table, btw |

| Message | oh yeah the hockey pool comeback! the one where we were leaving you off the update cause you'd been so far behind... then we did the final update and you were in first! dan re-did that so many times! that was hilarious. that was in grade 11 i think. boy, after 9 earned runs and all those hits did harold lose a point in both era and h/inn? probably just the era.. i'm done doing updates.. |

| Message | Actually Don I was watching the standings like a hawk. This was almost as good as that hockey pool comeback I made about ten years ago. |

| Message | well thanks harold. i totally thought it was yours to have.. as my team started to fade badly i couldn't believe that your squad was doing the same. right up until wainwright's shellacking earlier in the week i still thought you'd pass me. i believe you're 9 k's back b/c of losing wainwright's 7 k from that first start. the line was 7-8-3-7. it should be some consolation to you to know that for the first time in the history of the 8-man ulb era (13yrs) dan is not the leader in GMP. you have now passed him 4.92 to 4.67. this is the first time ever dan has finished out of top five two years in a row. my special thanks to the punishers who inflicted great damage on the rest of my competitors.. couldn't have done it without you robbie! |

| Message | With Peavy pitching tomorrow I only need another 3 k's to take my point back from Derksen. Pat and I are also tied in ERA. Peavy for MVP!!!!!!!!! |
