GSoSG just needs a double play to end this inning with one run. We don't need to worry.<BR/><BR/>On a separate note, I gave EK some guff about the rules regarding non-participants like Tony. I have been reading posts by similar dissidents who claim other egregious errors in the scoring system. I would like to change my position and thank EK for his continually insightful posts during the season and his continued work to give us a heated gaming system in the off season. We are all interested in this intriguing game, but without EK's tireless efforts we would all be spending our 'at work' hours on youtube, instead of dominating each other in this foreum.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rabble-rousing EK. You're alright in my book.Loney Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385445572232942258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-18114915374145617362008-12-05T00:38:00.000-08:002008-12-05T00:38:00.000-08:00Nothing from Tony?Nothing from Tony?MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-62868063316148053682008-12-04T20:35:00.000-08:002008-12-04T20:35:00.000-08:00Wait, did you say increments of 25 (not 5)?

This game was set up so you have to score in increments of 25, which means the last digit has to be a 5 or 0. Based on your scoring system, if the batter wins there's a 50/50 chance of home run/single. Nothing else. I'm not trying to complain, just bracing my team for giving up a three-run jack!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445896897570787777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-71261471243048028782008-12-04T16:38:00.000-08:002008-12-04T16:38:00.000-08:00And Fanerman, just FYI, if Tony doesn't show up fo...And Fanerman, just FYI, if Tony doesn't show up for his at-bat tonight, I'm teeing you up to take his 2nd at bat tomorrow while we recruit for his replacement.

One reason is because I specifically wanted to involve the 'blind auction' aspect of the game, which would be compromised even if I revealed scores after each round. Another reason is because we will almost certainly be repeating games, and I don't want anyone to feel like they have to reach a certain score range to win.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps after the entire competition is over I'll reveal them all.Eric Karroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-28031312761965495462008-12-04T16:13:00.000-08:002008-12-04T16:13:00.000-08:00But then everyone will know how much I suck at Fla...But then everyone will know how much I suck at Flash games!MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-62200324182384876132008-12-04T15:32:00.000-08:002008-12-04T15:32:00.000-08:00Yeah, that would be coolYeah, that would be coolLoney Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385445572232942258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-49841728794209209622008-12-04T15:12:00.000-08:002008-12-04T15:12:00.000-08:00Is there a way to show the scores each player got?...Is there a way to show the scores each player got?
