Mets
#5 David Wright
#16 Dwight Gooden
#22 Ray Knight or Al Leiter
#23 Wasteland, you would never pick #23
#29 Frank Viola
#6 Wally Backman ?

You would never not play #41 Seaver, #8 Carter, #31 Piazza and for me #17 Hernandez so I would have had #5 and #16

I don’t get how you go Gubicza over Saberhagen, but it’s a good thing he did.

It’s an even-numbered year. Saberhagen only performed well in the odd-numbered years. DUH.

My Indians picks of Alex Cole, Joe Charboneau, Ron Hassey, Eddie Taubenesse, Felix Fermin, and (powerball) Miguel Dilone did not come through for me.

I’ve heard both ways. Either way, incredibly odd.

I’m trying to find something else to add a link.

I mean whether or not he picked the numbers of Royals HOFs or the computer generated numbers just ended up being Royals HOFs. Bizarre. Fun with numbers to the extreme. And so forth.

5 (George Brett), 16 (Bo Jackson), 22 (Dennis Leonard), 23 (Mark Gubicza), 29 (Dan Quisenberry), and the power ball of 6 (Willie Wilson).

It would be fun trying to do this for other teams as well

But it wasn’t because I just went with one tweet and posted it in 5 minutes and didn’t check it before I wrote it.

people you know? (but not work with)

Sweet. Too bad it’s not true. They were computer generated numbers. You know, like it says in only every news story about it. I expect this type of fact checking from Duffy, not you Lisk.

Dude, I ran searches, local news ran a story saying the same thing on last night’s news, plenty of sports writers said it, including a local one who claimed to have knowledge of the family (linked above), and Passan, who used to cover the Royals. I linked it. I wrote this last night after the Falcons game, and am just now sitting back to CPU after dealing with my morning kid craziness to school. We scheduled it to run this am. If it was computer generated, I will add an update. But it wasn’t because I just went with one tweet and posted it in 5 minutes and didn’t check it before I wrote it.

Well, seems it may not be Powerball people claiming they were computer generated, just “official sources.” No word on official with who.

Fuck the Glass family. They are worse than the Hunts. A bunch of fucking out of town owners profiting on the cluelessness of the poor, mentally deficient fans of the Royals and Chiefs.

Awesome. Great caption, however you might as well include another pic of her. No one would complain
