****.  Buehrle throws a no hitter (and almost a perfect game) with 8 Ks and I left him on the bench.  Mothershitter.

Are you talking about some other league?  Buehrle's a free agent in the JD league.

Some people will buy two sets to display all 3 poses, but 7,000 should definitely be way more than enough to go around.

I know I have been thinking about it.

This has me wondering if it might be worth it to split sets.  If you're buying 4 Jawas to display 3, you could always split the difference on the extra set with someone and then both parties would have all three displays.

I know from a box and COA standpoint it's kind of blasphemous... but I'm tempted.

I should have spelled that out - I was trying to describe it as fan-boy crap too.  Everyone with a website needs news and what better news than "I have the real scoop on Indy 4".  Even if you made it up completely, you generate lots of web traffic.

I'm not going to worry about it until I see the trailer and it sucks.

I wonder how much (maybe all of it) is dis-information.

I'll be happy to talk trade - but no guarantee that I'll give up on him this early... between him and Webb being pretty bad and Mussina and Schmidt flat out sucking, I don't have any of the starting pitching that I thought I drafted.

I'm fast losing my patience with Zambrano... anyone want to trade for him?  A big hitting OF maybe?  Or another SP?

Looks like the Jawas will be set at 7000 pieces.   :o

Seems like a TON of Jawas, should be no problem finding them cheap I would guess.  Maybe they will drift down into my price range and I can pick them up to go along with my $12 Amazon Clearance Han Solo Mini-Bust.   ;)

Not bothering to graciously wait until the season actually ends this year are we?



The season has mathematically ended, that's close enough.

 :)

I came to know that it'd be you that would make the push to unseat me, and not Scott, only about a week ago, and when I mapped out all of the possible scenarios, I **** my pants when I learned that you could still win.  Immediately I saw that you would need to pass Scott in 3's and Reb, and that looked like a real possibility up until last night when Marion and Stoudemire flopped, and Marion, Terry and Davis failed to hit any 3's.

At the same time I was limping to the finish without Arenas, Jefferson, and Sheed and was trying to hold Bug off in the Pts department, but unless Baron Davis can clean the glass to the tune of 37 boards and hit 7 shots from behind the arc, it won't matter that Bug claims the "Pts" point tonight, because the final standings will be Dressel 49.5 to Defending Zods 47.5 (excluding a possible 0.5 to tie Venture in FG%).

That's rock solid mathematical elimination.

It wasn't easy, I was sweating this one out night by night for the past week, and if you look at my post from 3 weeks ago, I did state even then before I was aware that you'd make that realistic last push that I should "never count Rob out," and I was right.

Good fight.



I did some of that math myself, realizing that the closest I could get to you was about 1.5 points - if my team had gotten off to a better start this year I might have had a shot.  I'm pretty happy with a 1st place last year and a 2nd place this year though - not bad considering the flop 2 years ago.  Although I haven't looked at the point of being passed for #2 - and I'm all out of games save PG, third place looks like (Air up There right?) they have a full slate going tonight.  Here's hoping Duncan and James sit tonight. :)

Congrats to you.

As the above pic really shows, this new Snowtrooper is an amazing improvement, 'slight' color issues or not! To me, the new 'Vintage' figure is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Our arms race just took an interesting turn...

I cover Dallas, Paul covers Grapevine/Fort Worth, and Matt gets everything in Lewisville.

Mutually Assured Destruction.   :)

So your interest in the NBA, and consequently your interest in the Heat, revolves around your man-crush on a single player?

Fair-weather fan?

Not quite.  Trust me ... I watch more NBA basketball than probably anyone who regularly posts in this thread.  I'm one of the few people that still enjoys the pro game, and I'd pick it over college basketball any day of the week.
I guess saying that I would have no interest in the Playoffs without Wade being a part of it was a bit strong.  I'll be watching every game televised ... not just the Heat games.  That being said, having Wade being part of the Playoffs piques my interest a bit more.  I'm a Wade fan first and foremost.  Seeing that he plays for the Heat, that's the team I cheer for.  If he signed with another team, I would root for them.  I was the same way when Jordan was playing.  I liked him since he played at Carolina, and when he went to the Bulls in '84, I went with him.  When he came back for two seasons, I was more interested in what the Wizards were doing.  I don't have an NBA team in my city, and I can't stand the Knicks.  So ... I follow players that I like.  If that makes me a fair-weather fan, than so be it.

Back to the Joey Crawford issue ... at least the NBA did something about it:

Crawford suspended for rest of season, playoffs at least

Fair enough!

I'm just glad that I will now have a reason to be interested in the NBA Playoffs.  Welcome back, Dwyane.

Ichiro is very good for BA, R, and R.  Or so he usually is.  Last year he was real solid as far as fantasy value goes. 

I tried to draft a few guys who could steal bases since I was weak in that last year, and I tried to get guys who could score runs and hit.  Evidently I should have solely gone after .200 hitting sluggers.   ::)

Either way, however bad my draft was, this goes beyond that.  Guys who are usually solid are doing pretty much crap here in April.  Zambrano has sucked, so has Webb.  half my players have barely played.  Giambi is hitting like a girl... so is Delgado and arguably Wright too (hit streak be damned).

If they don't get hot soon, I'm looking at a long long season at the bottom of the barrel.
