2005 ESPN Fantasy Golf League

[Thrash13]

Well, first off, I have played this league a little crazier than others so far, and I kept it this way this week. I haven't picked Tiger so far, and I didn't want to waste over 18% on Vijay this week. Plus, it would have been too boring.

You have to read my preview to see why I picked Campbell and Kuehne. J/K, I know you have, but that explains them.

Howell was a solid pick definitely IMO, even if he didn't play worth a flip here last year. I think he has the game to win this tournament.

Dudley Hart just fit the money I had left, and he had a top 10 finish here last year and has always played decent in Houston.

So that's my explanation and I'm sticking to it. And it's only a matter of time before I start slipping down the leaderboard anyway. I've been running on luck up to this point.


EDIT: Oh yeah, and I didn't want to pick David Toms either. He don't have much distance, and he hasn't played consistently at all this year.

[Thrash13]

Ok, Hank Kuehne is having a "David Duval" start, and it's not looking good for me now. I'm just coming back to the field, that's all.

[Ben]

Has Kuehne even made a cut this whole year?

Anyway, I'm really one to talk with my performance this weekend. At least I have Vijay...

[mediaguru]

Does it matter if he makes a cut? He's the longest driver on tour...

[muskegman]

I'm really glad I chose Hank Kuehne and Kevin Sutherland this weekend. That was quite the move.

I'm happy to be at -12 after the first round. There's a -13 and a -16 out there, though...

[iacas]

I made up a little ground on y'all, I guess... I'm at -31. Jumped ahead of Raf and Ben today with the -10, but Blake is still tied, JH and Jeff and Aaron are still ahead, Todd's still tied, and Jason's continues to do well along with Tony. I'm middle of the pack, really.

But that's ok. My guys all had off days.

[mediaguru]

Well I look to be in a decent position at -33... Hope to pull off a victory in my first official start!

I'm thrilled to have three golfers playing on Sunday and actually have a score equal to and above some people. I've had a miserable start to this segment. Here's hoping tomorrow will mark the start of a major turnaround for me.

Well, I had a great start to the segment, but I came back to reality this week. I was actually thrilled to have -8 today with only 2 guys playing. That wasn't bad at all, and if I can get another day like that tomorrow, I will still escape with the overall lead I think. If I have a rough day though, I may get passed by a few people.

By the way, happy birthday Aaron! Hope you had a good one.

I've gotta give credit to ol' Jeff Smith. -44 is incredible.

But I'm quite pleased with my T2 this week. Take that, Ben and Rafcin!

[Thrash13]

As Erik predicted last Thursday, it wasn't pretty for Team Thrasher this week. I think I was lucky to even make it to -30 overall, but then again, if Chad Campbell would have made the cut (missed it by 1), it could have been a little better. That is just the way it goes.

The important thing is the fact I had a bad week (mentally), and I am still in the lead overall. It will not happen again......hopefully.

I think most teams in this league are probably happy I picked who I did this past week because the race for first got a lot closer due to my piss poor finish. Business definitely picked up in the Sand Trap league.

Great job Jeff, you definitely picked the top two guys for the week. And good to the other guys who finished better than -40.

[muskegman]

How about that. And to think I almost didn't take John Daly. I said to him under my breath, "Don't choke on me John" and he sure didn't. Not bad at all.

Well, not in regulation anyway.

[Mr High Anxiety]

Tough day for scores today. Toms really let me down today.

Yeah, I just don't pick Toms much. He has been so up and down, but he does usually get some birdies at least. And as for me, anytime Matt Davidson gives you a -1 round of 71, you have to see it as a positive!! I have to admit, I have never heard of the poor guy, but maybe he will at least make the cut for me. I'm definitely feeling a better week coming than last week, although it won't take much..

[Ben]

Holy F'in Crap! This'll be my worst damn week ever! Big Duff Diesel in second to last place at 6 over for 13 holes. Then that Pinche Steve Elkington didn't even f'in start! What the S!

You aren't the only one who was made about that. I was walking by the practice greens this morning and overheard one of the PGA Tour staff on a walkie-talkie saying that Elkington hadn't shown and they'd need a replacement. The guy on the other end said something and then the guy I was close to said, "Would've been nice to have some notice. Oh well, no big loss."
