I'd never think in a million years that I'd be rooting against Vijay or Ernie or my other favorites, but playing this fantasy league I was yelling at my TV trying to screw everyone up! Seems as though someone had a powerful hex on my man Cink, cause that dude totally screwed me with his second shot on 18!

Sez the guy who tied for first. Peh!

[Ben]

Hey, I should have been solo first. hahahahaaaaa.

[Ben]

When is the Sony roster available?

Ha yeah I know exactly what you mean. When Kaye hit that shot in for eagle at first I thought that was a helluva shot and then I yelled at the tv because I knew someone got a lower score because of it.

Speaking of Veej I had him on my team. His wheels really fell off on Sunday. I wonder when was the last time he scorred a triple bogey.

[Mr High Anxiety]

Looks like we can now make our picks for the Sony.

Edit - It still says Mercedes but my team is showing the edit button.

Edit X 2 = never mind all the players are still showing locked.

Fear the power of my super monster hex!

With my second tier guy Cink up at the top, I needed Vijay and Ernie to really choke near the end. And voila! Freakin Retief let me down something fierce though.

[Ben]

Well at least they have the roster up now... Soooo many players.

Michelle Wie only costs 4pts.

I've get a team somewhat setup. Look out! This looks even better than my last week's

[iacas]

I'm having trouble editing my team. It keeps telling me that I'm not able to swap players and a few other things. Not sure what is up with that. Tiger's not in the SONY, so obviously I want to drop him.

We shall see... this is becoming frustrating. I hope ESPN smooths out the wrinkles real fast here.

P.S. Scratch that, they changed the way a checkbox works. When the thing first came online, you checked the boxes of the players you swapped. This makes more sense now. I've got my team set, I think. 49.9 rating currently.

[iacas]

I've signed up too. We'll do a Sand Trap league there too.

Aaron, please create a different thread for this. Everyone else, look for that one in the next couple of minutes.

Has everyone created their ballots for the SONY on ESPN?

[Mr_Slice]

Yep. But I'll probably change it a few times still. :) At 49.9 now.

[Ben]

So, the values are based on the "lock" value, not the "Mkt" value? Pretty bitchin' if that's the case. I'm maxed out at exactly 50.0.

Be afraid boys, be very afraid! UuWaaahahahaaa.

[iacas]

I had 50.0 and it told me I was over the limit. 50.0 for both "mkt" and "lock." WTF? I edited it down to 49.9 and have a better team now, I think, anyway.

[Mr_Slice]

Remember guys, this is the week that we start having to worry about the dreaded "cut." Just something to keep in mind. The only times I've ever not done well in fantasy are when I had a golfer on my team miss the cut.

Also, I had thought that we got to keep the player for the value we initially picked him at, even if it went up. But it looks like no matter what we're gonna have to have below a 50 using their current values.

I got the same error message when both market and lock were 50.0. I also edited my team. Can't wait till tomorrow.

[Ben]

Has anyone else noticed that the people starting on the back nine have their scores listed on the front on ESPN's system? This may prove bad...

[muskegman]

I didn't realize Tiger wasn't playing this weekend... I chose him for this weekend and now I don't have a proper foursome! AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!
