Get out of here!

 

Pfft, nobody on this board ever leaves when they say they're going to leave, why should I be any different just because I'm handsomer than most?

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

Today’s Matchup - June 11th, (8:10pm EST)

Blue Jays @ White Sox 2 of 3

Opponent Pitcher: LHP Quintana (3-2, 3.95)

How to play:

Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit the first bomb during today's game. If you pick the correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players more unlikely to hit a home run will earn you more points than those likely to knock one out. Below is a list of the points each player is worth today. Points will change daily depending on whether the player is on a hot or cold streak, and bonus points will be available on random days. You can only pick one player, and you can't change once you picked. You must have your pick in before the first pitch of the game. Daily lineups will be posted roughly a hour before the game. I will post updated standings and the top 18 members will make the playoffs beginning August 26th. (playoff info to be posted later)

I will go with J.P. Arencibia.

 

He probably is pissed that he sat out the two games and knowing his ego will want to prove that he is the best catcher in baseball.

Well, he obviously is. I mean, the only thing separating him and Buster Posey are playoff appearances.

 

Anyways, I'll take Rasmus again. Homer, Forrest, homer!

What does this mean? Any way I can see it?

[GD]

There was a server upgrade. A lot of posts got erased.

[Abomination]

What does this mean? Any way I can see it?

 

Probably not. My isp hasn't updated it's dns server yet, so I was stuck on it. I had to change my dns provider to opendns (google's works too) to get on the new site.
