The BabyMaker Keeps His Pledge

Team L'hopital'sRule (I can't believe you busted out L'hopital's Rule by the way) kept his promise to his new little baby girl and brought home the bacon in Week 4 of the 2005 Season of LJMP. In the closest tally yet this year (unless Early Doucet goes nuts tonight - doesn't matter, Larry is the only one with him on his team) Larry brings home his second weekly title to tie me in the race for the Championship. Short score description today because this is the last week in the month/quarter and I'm leaving for Europe on Thursday so I kinda need to spend a little more time on the phone.

Larry rode the Gators to the win: Leak 39 - hi man for the week, Jackson 23 - top WR for the week. Irons and Darby were also in double figures with 18 and 10. Total 104 (without Doucet)

James gave it a run but alas his inability to choose receivers bit him in the arse again. Mario Hill and Keith Brown combined for a score equal to John Blutarski's GPA at Faber College: 0.00. He did steal 15 in the WR spot by copying my pick of Sidney Rice but it wasn't enough. He did squander some more good choices at the QB and RB spots: Mitchell 20 (solid, but worst QB score of the week), 31 for Wynn and 21 from Jennings (again...thieving my picks to beat me). Total 100.

I pulled a downright Dinsmorian WR draft and still ended up with the 2nd most WR points. Shockley (27), Lester (15), and Jennings (21) combined for a solid 63 but the 16 from the receivers killed me. Total 96.

Phil settles into his more likely finishing spot- last, with an 84 point showing in week 3/2. After scoring the highest ever point total for a Vandy player - Cutler's 32 - Phil slowed down with his next highest scorer being Syvelle Newton with 13. He did spread the wealth though with five players in double figures. But it wasn't enough. Total 84. Oh yeah, and you might want to check the injury reports -- Andre Caldwell is out with a broken leg.

Good scores. As for this week, I'll submit a team but obviously won't be able to do the scores. I'll try and go ahead and put a team in for next week too but I can't make any promises.

It's actually L'Hospital, to be correct, but this only furthers your case. Wow, James, you may be right. That was one of those Freudian slips that showed who I really am deep inside. I can pretent not to be a geek, but when I am in close company and I let my hair down, the true geek comes out. I guarantee I could win at the "Beauty and The Geek" reality show. Without friends like you, I may be an attention seeking moron searching for someone to like me. (Wait this statement also describes some of my social behavior). O well, I guess I'm a loser.

As I wipe away the tears from laughing so hard. Larry, paragraphs like that is why I love you.

Back to LMJP...let's give Larry his due, but come on. I called 2nd place, which in my mind is much more difficult thatn predicting a win. I had to strategically pick which 2 WR's would score 0 points. Oh wait, I do that every week. Anyway, I'll take over the scoring duties, but I can't guarantee the 5000 word write ups.

Larry, I look forward to a post on what life is like with 3 kids. When I stop to think that you and Amanda are the mother and father of three children it takes 5 minutes to recover. You guys are amazing.
