QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) It was the player that I wanted in the next round in my queue. i draft the guys i really want above slot, so not super surprising,

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) I got it. I'm gonna look into it more for sure. I'm going to need to do something at home since a baby is on the way and my wife probably wouldn't like it if i took off for an hour or two a night. coolio. yeah that's kinda what i was thinking too.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 12:26 PM) So this p90x thing....is it worth it? I'm 6' 235lbs and need to drop some weight (200-210 would be ideal). I was running more at the end of last year to prepare for a 5k in November (completed) but my wife is now pregnant and I guess in sympathy (more likely laziness) i've gained some weight. My diet routine needs to change and can change pretty easily, but I'm wondering if running 3-4 miles every other day is enough or if I should start a program like p90x. I'm not looking for some massive weight loss in 2 weeks. But I know myself and if I'm not seeing results pretty quickly I lose my interest/drive to continue on. hey man i messaged you but i can't see it in my sent messages folder... i hope it went through. if not, lemme know and i'll try to rehash

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) I wanted some September call ups from waivers this year, but sadly DBAHO has drafted them all. that was effing brilliant on his part. by the way, my team does - as i predicted - rape.

I can all but guarantee you that after 90 days of P90X you'll accomplish that. If you're willing to put in a little effort and eat better, it's totally attainable. Running is great, but it wont get you the results near as quickly, and wont help all the other aspects of your fitness that P90X does. If you're interested enough to do some more research on it, PM me and I can direct you to some good stuff. I'll even put aside our political differences. that's how much I believe in this thing.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) I agree with this, especially the final paragraph, which I set in bold so people take notice of it. I think the biggest mistake people make when they "suddenly decide to get into shape" is that they tend to jump into the deep end of the pool instead of wading slowly through the shallows, making it a part of their lifestyle versus the drastic change they commonly make instead. Crash diets, crash workouts, none of it works long term. It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to keep up such a workout, you will eventually get sick of it, or injure yourself, etc...take it slow, take it in moderation. The gains will come, but they take time. TOTALLY. you have to enjoy what you're doing or it just isn't going to work. end of story. and the biggest part of that is enjoying the food you eat. yeah, make it healthy, but also make it foods you LIKE instead of following some nutrition guide word for word. You don't like mushrooms, don't eat the egg-white mushroom omelette. just did PlyoX for the first time in a couple years and it just whooped me. Shack how do you like X2? I want to get through another round of the X before ratcheting up to X2, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 09:25 AM) Absolutely, and it's hard to give people diet advice without knowing their genetics, etc...if he naturally burns 3000 calories a day without working out, that means he needs even more if he is working out. This is always the hardest part about building a proper diet for a person, the diet is and will be different for every individual. very true.

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) Dude, thats a pretty badass routine. Thanks for taking the time to write all that. I just fall into the habit of working my arms a lot, because I want to build those up a bit more than they are. I take breaks but never really knew a good set "routine". I am going to give it a go. My genetics really are screwy, everyone in my family is either normal (not buff persay), or on the overweight side. I'm 6'0" and have weighed between 145-155 for the past like, 7 years. I think steroids are the answer - Just kidding. We'll see how it goes, if anything, it'll be a good routine. Thanks again! Here's the thing though. You can follow that routine all you like, and only see minimal change, unless you adhere to a strict nutrition plan. you need protein. And lots and lots of it. a good ratio to start with is something like 30% Protein 50% Carb 20% Fat. And based on your height/weight, and if you DO stick to the workout plan and do it 5-6 times a week, you should be ingesting something close to 3000 calories a day if you want to bulk up. THIS is the most important part of gaining muscle. You can work out all you want, but if your body doesn't have the proper fuel, you're not actually accomplishing anything.

looks like i wont make it. lame. picked up a shift so i'll be working. s'ok though, i ranked my players and i still shall rape.

there was an article in the most recent SI too. seems like a big story or something.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 17, 2012 -> 06:03 PM) Any word on Peavy's velocity? I saw a tweet mentioning that the movement he had today would be useful if he doesn't get his velo back -- didn't know if that meant he hasn't gotten it back or if it was speculation that he may not get it back. i doubt he'll get it all the way back, but whoever tweeted was right. the movement today was great and he was hitting his spots with pinpoint accuracy. as long as he does that it doesn't matter if it's minor leaguers or major leaguers, he'll get them out.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Mar 17, 2012 -> 04:20 PM) A no-hitter so far? I might be getting a delayed box score. If the Jakester is back, we are going to be super-awesome. If not, we just will be awesome. Jake threw 5 innings of no hit ball. Good stuff.

JFP returns. 4IP 0H 1BB 5K

Jake dealing so far. 2IP 1BB 4K

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) The book of Ephesians was written about those folks from the province of Epitaph although I could be wrong. As for its locale I can only assume somewhere near the Holy Land. you sure about that? Epitaph--

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Mar 14, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) It is also still a city in modern Turkey as well. actually it has always been a city in Turkey. it is one of the cities mentioned in Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, which HE stole from a greek playwright. The More You Know.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 14, 2012 -> 05:40 PM) There was more than the Pujols homer. More like 7 runs. He needs to step it up if he is going to be the starter. Regardless of ST or not. A number of our pitchers need to step it up I think. LOL Sale gave up 5 in 4+ innings. He's been used as a reliever for the last two years. The kid needs to be stretched out. Give him an effing break. He's the starter I'm LEAST worried about. ridiculous.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 14, 2012 -> 04:45 PM) It's not a category league, it's points head to head, so K/9 is not really possible to do... Plus HBP is counted in OPS, wOBA, etc. A lot of fantasy leagues also count RBIs and Runs, but those aren't really totally the batter's doing either. Touche salesman.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) This is a league I decided to start up last year and it was pretty successful. The league is currently at 8-9 teams after I trimmed off some people who didn't play last year. Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 2 OF, CF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, BN, BN, BN and 2 DL spots. Scoring is weekly head to head points: At Bats (AB) -1 Singles (1B) 5.5 Doubles (2B) 8.5 Triples (3B) 11.5 Home Runs (HR) 15 Stolen Bases (SB) 2 Caught Stealing (CS) -3 Walks (BB) 3 Hit By Pitch (HBP) 3 Innings Pitched (IP) 7 Hits (H) -2.5 Home Runs (HR) -12.5 Walks (BB) -3 Hit Batters (HBP) -3 Strikeouts (K) 2 Draft will be about two weeks from now. The date is subject to change as I want almost everyone to be there. If you'd like to join a league that requires a different kind of baseball thinking, then you would definitely enjoy this league. Just ask J4L. PM me for league sign up information if you're interested. if it's sabermetric why the HBP? how is that at ALL in the batter's control? kind of silly for fantasy. rather have OPS or something like that. also, K/9 instead of K's is a much better stat. You can't just stream them.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 07:25 PM) Not that I eat fast food or processed food very often, but that photo doesn't bother me at all. I'd be more concerned if it was something I ate on a daily basis, however. Edit: It doesn't deter me from eating future Chicken Nuggets, for example. Half of you have probably gone down on girls worse than that pic...but I'm guessing that didn't stop you. Pigs. Maybe these other guys. Hairy roast beef is a no go for me. Besides I don't attempt to get my nutrition from anything pink.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) i've not had a single chicken nugget since seeing that and i probably never will again. so gross.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 03:15 PM) Meh. I don't think Ozzie getting tossed ever bothered me as much as his child's Twitter account. it's a spring training game. they um... don't count...

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:21 PM) Floyd-- 4 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 5 k's apparently he's our only good starter
