I could imagine the 8-15 being interesting for about a week and then never used again.

There are definitely some strange statistics in this league. Our 2nd highest scorer is sitting at 1-3 and below 5 teams that have scored fewer points than him. Match-ups are a killer in Bring out Your Dead's case. Shelly definitely has this figured out as she has scored the most points and has had the fewest points scored against her over the first four games.

If I had anyone worthwhile to offer up for him I would.

Okay, we are hitting one of the toughest stretches of the season and have had some good competition. We have had our first trade in the league and we have had our first bye week player left in the line-up by Brent. So we're taking odds on which happens first, Salty gets a win or Shelly or I take our first loss? Poll is up. Standings: Division 1 1. Team Chaos 4-0 W4 2. Hook 'em Horns 4-0 W4 3. Sitting Duck 3-1 W1 4. iPhone Blows Goats 3-1 W3 5. Devil Foosballers 2-2 W1 6. DAC PACK 2-2 L1 7. Iron Lung 2-2 L1 8. Bring Out Your Dead 1-3 L3 9. Hockey Is Better 1-3 W1 10. The Schwartz is With Me 1-3 L1 11. Atlanta Maytweezies 1-3 L3 12. Dizzy's Salted Ones 0-4 L4 Updated Tuesday, October 5

Yeah I am 4-0 but I benched my round 1 and 2 picks today because of their suckiness and that will not take me very far. At least I did not lose to Brent who played a WR on a bye.

I hate everyone on my team except Antonio Gates.

Went to the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival today for some lunch and snapped some pics of the Guitar Bar All-Stars playing. Not a real band but they were not bad. They even had a Giant playing Saxophone and senior citizen groupies.

Spent some time down near Wall Street with the 7D this afternoon. I still have a lot to figure out with this thing as it has one billion options but it seems to be a worthy step up from the 50D. I think it will end up being set aside for sports shooting as I really prefer the 5Ds for daily carry.

Of course.

Some from the walk to dinner tonight. I so miss living in Austin. and one from the Dinny store.

It is looking like that Greene>Manningham/Keller trade might have been a bit lopsided. Greene 5 points on the season Manningham/Keller 85 points on the season.

If they shut down Brandon Marshall you have a very good chance.

Lot of close games this week. Will Vicki pull out the win with all her best players on the bench?

I now have one player in double digits, including the ones on my bench. Terrible.

I do not have a single player in double digit points at this moment. Pathetic.

I went to the choke point right before the finish line hoping to catch him but I guess he came through in one of the huge packs of people and I missed him.

A few more including a bad picture of the wife of Stephen Siller whose action the race is based on running the race in his fire coat.

Okay, some of the many, many pictures I took.

Good luck Dinny. I intend to be in your neighborhood taking pictures of the event and hope to see you.

A few more pictures. The Slacker Some meat A little less meat Some hard core gaming. The ringleader Bathroom decorations at Barcade and at the BBQ joint

I hate it when I forget to check the ISO. Those are some really nice pics there. Bright white birds in the bright sun are really hard to expose properly.

After eating my second huge BBQ meal of the day I decided to head home a bit early. Some pics of the event. We started at Barcade. Where everyone tried their hands at some video games and great beer. Then to the BBQ place where we ate from the Meat-Case. Where Al ordered 20 lbs of BBQ and it was all excellent. Al seemed to gravitate to the Sausage. Did I mention that the BBQ place had a great beer and whisky selection? Ended my evening at Sputen Dyvel Great evening with a great group of guys.

And it is close enough to Manhattan that if there is a Hipster Dufus uprising in Brooklyn we can probably escape.

And there are 8 bit video games.
