I STILL don't have my BBQ Nachos!
I can play during the day today Poppin but tonight is booked up with hockey and Swat 4. At the moment I can make any evening next week work aside from Tuesday. Just let me know!

Our best bet is probably tonight (Monday) pre-Ghost Recon. I should be free after 6:30 EST. After that, the rest of the week is pretty bad. I''m taking my wife out to a show on Wednesday and we''re out of town from Thursday to early Sunday. I hate to push it all this way, but Sunday after noon EST looks like the first time I have open after today. Otherwise, we could do Wednesday after 11:00 EST or something, which would be fine by me. I could also do next Monday any time after 6:30 EST. Choose!

I PM''d Sanjuro about this week and it looks like the only time I''ll be available is Tuesday between 5:30pm and 7:00pm CST. I will be in Vegas (yeah, baby) from Wednesday through Sunday. The other possibility would be Monday the 2nd.
Let''s say 6:45 EST, should work for me!

Quoting myself-- novel!
At any rate, my wife is running a bit late and I need to talk to her before we play. I''ll do my best to make it on time, but it''s possible I''ll be 5-10 minutes late. Just wanted to warn you.

Triple post!
My XBoxen account says ""Unable to connect to ESPN League Servers"" or something like that. Guess we''re screwt? I''ll be around until 10:00 EST or something, so maybe we can make something happen if the league servers come back soon...

We managed to get the game played. With the wind at our backs at a wicked 15 - 19 MPH any mistake made by a pitcher was punished with a home run. Unfortunately for me, I was making most of the mistakes.
Good game Poppin!

Fantastic game Whitey. I got so lucky in the top of the 9th. I hate that the game drops our connection immediately afterward. It makes me feel so rude.
Each team only squeaked out four hits. Florida with four singles. The Nats with three singles and the decisive game winning homer in the top of the 9th.
Game could have easily gone the other way ... and probably will on our rematch.
Would it be rude to mention that my pitcher got a homerun?
That wind really made it a crazy game, as the ball would just carry and carry. I think one homerun was over 520 ft.! Fortunately, my timing seemed pretty good, so I managed to jump on a number of balls. The lag can really play havoc with this game-- we both had some trouble pitching.
Good game Certis!

V-O and I have a date for next monday.
If there were any justice in the world, 'emoticons' would be a failed eighties Transformers spin off movie, in which all the bots transform into a symbol of an emotion, and which preaches gay rights.
Is that a man-date?
Is there another kind?

that was a fantastic game there highlander and its either that were both really good or really bad and onlhy time will tell...hopefully its the better of the two
We are that good.
Wow...played smoltz online about 3 weeks ago, and had 15 strikeouts
played smoltz last night, and he gave up like 8 runs (i think the most I''d ever surrendered was 2 or 3)
To be fair, frankiemumbles had me 2-0 when I started noticing the probs, but on about every other pitch, I''d get a hair of lag...same in fielding...and that was all it took - tough to pitch the 4 corners if you can''t hit the crosshairs...and to his credit - he made me pay in spades! OUCH - but I think I had maxed out my network with 2 major downloads full speed and the wife on guild wars...so was my own fault...but that tick did me in...sigh...
back to the batting cages for me!
You know that lag is spread evenly across the board when you play a game on Live right? So even if it''s all you, the other guy gets the exact same slow down.
And yeah, lag when pitching is brutal, Poppin just plastered me every time I messed up a pitch. Most were not lag related though

Frankie started to get my timing...but he had two home runs at the end, and 3-4 deep balls, of which half were where that ''snag'' got me on the second part of the crosshairs, and I buried the ball right down the middle of the plate... It wasn''t the time out lag...it just seemed to ''snag'' a lot...so I had to think it was on my end...
Frankie still kicked my butt...there was no disputing that...and I think with no snags, he still takes me 4 or 5-0...so I can''t argue that
Sanjuro and V-O, is your man-date still on for tonight?
Sanjuro PM''d me. He was hoping for a 2:00pm PST start. That''s 4:00pm where I am. I''ll still be at work until 5:00pm. If need be I will forfeit and the win can go to Sanjuro.
What''s the word? Any posibilities of tomorrow or do I flip a coin right here and now?
Haven''t heard from Sanjuro yet. Hoping for late night game tonight.
It''s almost 1 am here in V-O land. Give the win to Sanjuro. I just couldn''t find a way to schedule anything with my vacation in the way.
The coin has been flipped. V-O wins.
League advancing.
Certis, lock ''er down please.
