2k7fan | April 8 @ 7:30 pm
Oh I like that even better Rob.
robcoop | April 8 @ 3:58 pm
I like the ODE homepage a lot. I'm going to eventually transfer this look to the DM homepage.
2k7fan | April 8 @ 1:00 pm
I like the idea Rob.
RockSteady | April 7 @ 7:37 pm
And Rob ... Is there ever any hope of expanding the character limits for DM users so that I can be DrMcAwesome again on the boards and as a user?
RockSteady | April 7 @ 7:21 pm
How you had it set up back in '05 or '06 was perfect. I don't think the update material needs to be HTML driven. (If Pujols wants to spend three hours updating each game, all the power to him) ... But I think that a set-up like this with maybe a link to that user's page for the respective sport along with a linescore and a basic boxscore layout for those of us that fear HTML would be all that would be needed. This is a nice feature, but you don't want to take away from why we're all here.
robcoop | April 7 @ 7:13 pm
Doc - I'm open to ideas. Like I said, this set up is just a few bits of code from being community driven (no need for me). But, what ways could it be used (or modified)?
RockSteady | April 7 @ 7:08 pm
I like the idea as long as the sanctity of the 15 ODE games played eery year won't be lost. At the same time I'll ask: Will all sports be offered to do this with or just whatever is in season/popular? I'd love to be able to do this when I get to the postseason on my Penguins page.
robcoop | April 7 @ 6:53 pm
What's everyone's thoughts in making ODE self-sufficient; meaning, it can be set up by users to host live game events outside of Opening Day MLB?
2k7fan | April 7 @ 5:33 pm
Hey guys maybe late on getting the Braves game in today. I am shooting for it still but somethings came up.
sa_gamer | April 7 @ 1:08 pm
I'd be willing to help out if you need Rob. I can take the Twins. Just let me know bud.
RockSteady | April 7 @ 1:25 am
Thanks to everyone that stayed up this late — in the east and central and possibly the west (dunno about normal bedtimes and such) — to follow my game.
GoKnicks | April 7 @ 1:19 am
We are 17-28 through 3 seasons of ODE.
robcoop | April 7 @ 1:08 am
Hey... how about ODE-parties? Heeeey. I'll bring the beers.
robcoop | April 7 @ 12:57 am
The ODE page would be separate from your dynasty. The ODE would be just a live game hangout area. I'd need to set up some kind of "start fresh" mechanism.
bigivie | April 7 @ 12:50 am
awesome...so would we be able to do a "live game" from our franchise if we wanted to?
robcoop | April 7 @ 12:43 am
2k7fan, you're good to go for the ATL game tomorrow. Just click on manage ODE page". However, the other ODEers will have to provide support.
robcoop | April 7 @ 12:40 am
Bigivie - actually, I may keep this ODE open. It's just a few pieces of code away from renewing itself for fresh games. I have a bit of day-job work first, but I think ODE-always open is possible.
2k7fan | April 7 @ 12:16 am
Ahhhhh....okay. No big deal.
bigivie | April 7 @ 12:14 am
I was just joking around man....I don't think Rob is gonna let us keep doing this every day...it was a 1 day thing that spilled over into today because of a coding error..Today was just to finish up the games that didn't get played yesterday
2k7fan | April 7 @ 12:12 am
bigivie. I need information on what I need to do again on it.
bigivie | April 7 @ 12:12 am
go right ahead
2k7fan | April 7 @ 12:06 am
What's up guys!? Hey if knowone is doing the Atlanta game for tomorrow I want it.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:46 pm
I know... it was live but in a different way than everyone else was doing it. I liked it though, I wish I could record my games.
robcoop | April 6 @ 11:44 pm
I was stopping and recording as things happened, just not posting because I had to wait until the Youtube upload was finished.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:30 pm
And you notice 2 of our 3 wins this ODE were from guys who weren't doing their games live (Rob sort of was but in a different way).
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:29 pm
Yeah I'd agree w/ that Allan... especially looking at my two games (probably a perfect example). On the D'Backs game the way I updated was very basic and I played a very good game... Cards game was another story, part of the reason might be because I was updating a ton and not focusing on the game as much as I should have. But we can blame SheffG too. ;)
bigivie | April 6 @ 11:25 pm
either that or it's the curse of SheffG
bigivie | April 6 @ 11:25 pm
It's not scientific or anything, but I'd be willing to bet the win % has something to do with updating your game at the same time you play it...I know yesterday I often focused so much on the updating portion I forgot about just playing my actual game the way it needed to be played
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:16 pm
Ouch... I guess below .500 was an understatement. If my math is correct that is a .386 winning percentage.
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 11:12 pm
As a group, we're 17-27 in 3 years of ODE. I'm 0-2 by the way.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:03 pm
That loss was my first in ODE games, for the record... I'm 3-1 now. With 2010 I'm sure we're below .500 all-time as a group.
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 11:00 pm
Ok. Our official ODE record for 2010 is 3-11 heading into Doc's game. Good luck.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:59 pm
Well I hope everybody enjoyed my game and the way I presented it. I know it may take a really, really long time to get through it but why I like doing it that way is because its unique and it's worth it to me if everyone who follows it, even if it's just a couple of people, enjoy it. Good luck Doc!
RockSteady | April 6 @ 10:56 pm
I was the Twins in my earlier game. Hoping to avoid an 0-2 stretch against the LA market.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:53 pm
Time to follow Shawn. :)
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 10:49 pm
Dan won with Arizona, Rob won with Cleveland, Julien won with the Mets....
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 10:49 pm
We're either 4-10 or 3-11. What team was Shawn in the Angels-Twins game?
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:45 pm
Rolen beats Cards with a walk-off single in the 9th. :( Boo.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:43 pm
Game tied in Cincy.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 7:48 pm
The humans had three wins before today. I'm pretty sure no humans have won today. So, unless someone can correct me on that...
robcoop | April 6 @ 7:41 pm
I won (in comeback fashion I might add).
robcoop | April 6 @ 7:41 pm
So what's the score? Humans-? CPU-?
znscr3 | April 6 @ 7:34 pm
Well, I'm 0-2 in my ODE debut. I'll take a bow, now.
bigivie | April 6 @ 7:30 pm
OS Full Minors roster is out
robcoop | April 6 @ 7:26 pm
It looks like, barring a miracle, the Rays are toast.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 7:18 pm
My game will begin when the Rays-Orioles game is finished up. I'll take us to about the time Doc starts.
bigivie | April 6 @ 6:18 pm
Hey Rob I noticed the medium headline setup on your NHL page...any idea on a timeframe for when that will be available for all users? It looks really good and I think there are several different ways you could use it.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 6:08 pm
I moved my start time up by 15 minutes... so I should take us up until about 11:30 or so and then Doc will start at midnight.
bigivie | April 6 @ 5:57 pm
the losses just keep on coming
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 5:55 pm
Oops accidentally hit post.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 5:54 pm
robcoop | April 6 @ 5:30 pm
I was wondering what the clock said for everyone not in my time zone. I guess you just answered that.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 5:12 pm
Posted this on your page, but... Evans, unlike yesterday you don't have to worry about typing too much info. I fixed that issue (w/ Rob's help).
znscr3 | April 6 @ 5:11 pm
Let the game begin in Tampa.
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 5:08 pm
I read my clock right...it's just the chatterbox clock is in MST apparently...
znscr3 | April 6 @ 5:07 pm
Yeah...we always knew you were good at math, Ty ;)
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 5:06 pm
Lol FAIL. The clock on the chatterbox says it's 5:05pm, and my computer clock says it's 7:05pm
GoKnicks | April 6 @ 5:05 pm
5 minutes Zach?
znscr3 | April 6 @ 5:04 pm
First pitch at the Trop in about five minutes, ladies and gents.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 4:37 pm
Just got back from doing some stuff, I'm following your game Allan. Good luck!
robcoop | April 6 @ 3:56 pm
Sorry flyersdabe, be appreciative of what you did get.
bigivie | April 6 @ 3:52 pm
easy there Nancy
flyersdabe | April 6 @ 3:51 pm
In all honesty, ODE has failed. Next year's has to be better, but I'll stop being negative Nancy, let's have fun with what's left.
robcoop | April 6 @ 3:46 pm
Goodluck bigivie!
bigivie | April 6 @ 3:44 pm
My game is beginning now...I'm playing as Seattle
bigivie | April 6 @ 3:08 pm
scratch that....gonna go ahead and get things rolling as soon as possible....just have to set up the rosters and change my graphics, then I should be god to go...give me 30 minutes
RockSteady | April 6 @ 3:08 pm
Works now. Thanks, Rob. See y'all later tonight.
robcoop | April 6 @ 3:03 pm
Rock - try again.
bigivie | April 6 @ 2:58 pm
Sorry about my time being listed at noon guys...I haven't even checked this since last night, I assume it's just going off of the time that I had listed for yesterday..Will likely try to do my game later tonight...maybe around 6ish central
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:58 am
I thought Allan was going to start soon? Doesn't matter to me if he goes now or later I was just wondering. :)
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 11:00 am
At least it was a good game up until the disastrous ninth inning... thanks Farnsworth
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:58 am
Officially 3-8.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:54 am
Down to the last out in KC...
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:50 am
Haha, don't hate the player hate the game
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:43 am
3-8, here we come. :p
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:41 am
Ugh, they continue to pile on. 2 RBI triple by Austin Jackson
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:37 am
Noooooooooooooo!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:36 am
Tigers take the lead!
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:33 am
Looks like I'll be set to follow the rest of the games... by the time 9:00 rolls around Z should be wrapping up his game, then my game should take you all up to the beginning of Doc's game.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:31 am
Alright, all set for tonight's showdown on the znscr3 network
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:31 am
DET & KC going to the 9th, still tied 3-3. Should be a fun finish.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:30 am
I might push my game back to 9:00 in hopes that Knights' rosters come out before then... not banking on that happening though. Their roster set is becoming as big of a mess as this.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:28 am
P.S. I'd love to see the Reds beat down on the Cardinals in Pujols game. Muhaha!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:27 am
Yup. I get off work at 9 PM tonight, so I should be able to catch the later games. Maybe even Doc's, if I can keep my eyes open.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:25 am
Well, that's a nice slate of games, if I do say so myself.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:25 am
Sounds right to me, Z.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:24 am
So we have slick going now, bigivie in about 35 mins, me at 7ish EST, Pujols at 8:15 EST, and Doc at the midnight hour, correct?
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:16 am
Again, I'll be here for you, too, Pujols. Even though you don't have Vicente Padilla.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:15 am
I'll be here, Doc. Anytime Vicente Padilla is pitching, I watch. Although I shouldn't. Kinda like a car accident.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 10:15 am
I'll be updating from about 8:15-11:00 tonight. I hope I have some followers so I don't feel like this was all a big waste of my f'n time.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:14 am
And with that, let's give a hand to the return of the Phils-Nats game! Let's hear it for letting Roy Halladay show me up for nine innings!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:12 am
Not me. lol
RockSteady | April 6 @ 10:11 am
So who's with me when I can get to my game at midnight tonight?
robcoop | April 6 @ 10:08 am
Zach and slick, if you want to re-post your 1st games as a matter of historical record, then that's cool. I have to work today, so I'll have to wait a bit before that's possible.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:05 am
I don't think anyone will miss that score, slick ;). My question, though...can I just put everything back how it was on my page (it would take no more than ten minutes) to restore it to its original state, and then get the second game, since I haven't started it yet and won't until 7?
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:04 am
Pitching change in KC: Tigers yank Verlander and bring in Phil Coke.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 10:03 am
I figured. It's not too big of a deal to me, honestly. I didn't go all out with graphics, just simple blog-style text updates per inning. The only real downer is that the score and everything is lost... TOR 12 (14 hits, 0 E), TEX 2 (8 hits, 0 E).
robcoop | April 6 @ 10:01 am
Alright. Unless you started updating your 2nd game already, you should be able to do your 2nd game without a problem. Basically, if you already started updated a 2nd game, it overwrote the first.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 10:00 am
Yeah, slick, since we didn't wait, our second games are being played on the same "page" as our first right now. Granted, mine hasn't started and all my stuff from the first game is still online elsewhere, but I don't know if you are as fortunate.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 9:59 am
Should I revert my currently available game back to Phils-Nats info and wait for a second game to open for me (I still have the information available, it would be a quick and easy fix) or just run with it as I have it?
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:58 am
My Gameday page is all screwed up, probably because this is game #2 for me.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:52 am
This likely won't get fixed and give me a big enough window to update now anyway, so I'll probably just update later tonight.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:52 am
Oops. lol
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:51 am
Thanks for the warning.
robcoop | April 6 @ 9:45 am
Tue: The 2-game ODEers might want to wait until I say go before you play.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 9:42 am
I have posted a preview for my Rays-O's game, which will be played tonight around 7:00 EST. It will be a Not So Late Night with Evans!
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:41 am
Not only that but I spent a couple of hours making my Cardinals-Reds table, then waited three hours for Rob to show up last night after he left... the whole point of me waiting 2nd to do my STL-CIN game was to A.) save my best game for last and B.) to have more people on to follow because I was going all-out w/ the presentation.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:38 am
Yeah well it's kind of irritating for me because had I known when we could update our 2nd game today that it was going to change our 1st game anyway, I would have just updated last night at 9:00 when it was doing the exact same thing.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:34 am
Yeah, while I was having problems yesterday it was kind of a good thing as I got to keep up with the real MLB action and all the action here on ODE. Started my game in the morning, and now it's hitting the afternoon. I'm going to take a "halftime" sandwich break, though. Starving.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:31 am
I'll follow your game while I wait slick. If this doesn't get fixed soon I might not even be able to do my game today, either... awesome.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:24 am
That happened to me yesterday. Rob fixed it somehow. In other news... Detroit ties it up at 3-3 as we head to the bottom of the 4th.
Pujols4MVP | April 6 @ 9:22 am
You've got to be kidding me... I'm trying to log in and I get this message: "Sorry, but either your page isn't ready or you are not signed up to participate in ODE."
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:17 am
Ugh... Royals showing their true colors.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:14 am
Ha, I did what I could. 3 across for KC, and now DET is threatening in their half of the 4th.
znscr3 | April 6 @ 9:10 am
Keep piling them on, slick!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:08 am
Royals have taken the lead with 1 out in the 3rd!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 9:04 am
Bases loaded, none out in KC for the Royals. Let's see if they can capitalize!
slickdtc | April 6 @ 8:35 am
Greinke starts off whhere he left off in '09: 2 K's, and a 1-2-3 inning to start.
slickdtc | April 6 @ 8:29 am
I've started up my game, the DET/KC contest.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 11:26 pm
What time tomorrow do you suppose we could begin our 2nd games?
RockSteady | April 5 @ 10:22 pm
Well, this coincides nicely with PNC Park breaking off and floating down the Allegheny River. If we can steer it back ... Play ball.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 10:19 pm
Likewise. With my track record for extra inning games, the sun may rise before I would set if I tried to go tonight LOL.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 10:18 pm
I guess I'll just update tomorrow then.
robcoop | April 5 @ 10:15 pm
Fellas, I'm sorry, I blew it (at the movies). There was one piece of code I needed to add to allow access to your 2nd games I forgot to trigger. If it's too late on the East Coast, ODE is "open" tomorrow.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 9:50 pm
Rob? Are you back? Will we be getting our 2nd games set up anytime soon. If not I will just have to do it tomorrow night.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 9:06 pm
OK, you win this round.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 8:55 pm
Leaky roof?
RockSteady | April 5 @ 8:52 pm
There can't be a rain delay in Tampa, try again.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 8:48 pm
DOUBLE POSTS FTW
znscr3 | April 5 @ 8:47 pm
So I'm guessing there's a rain delay in Tampa?
znscr3 | April 5 @ 8:47 pm
So I'm guessing there's a rain delay in Tampa?
bigivie | April 5 @ 8:43 pm
Oh baby don't it feel like Heaven right now, don't it feel like something from a dream?
RockSteady | April 5 @ 8:28 pm
The waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry-Hungry Hippos instead.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 8:24 pm
So... yeah this is fun. The waiting game.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 8:05 pm
I'd be down for that. It's a way to get the non-board folks involved as well.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 7:59 pm
Yeah I like that idea... the homepage could use a new look in general so why not add this?
bigivie | April 5 @ 7:57 pm
I think we should make this chat box a permanent feature on the homepage. Thoughts?
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 7:45 pm
Ya wondering that myself...
canes | April 5 @ 7:45 pm
I would venture to guess that if the game id in the page address is the same it would overwrite your first game but then again your first game shows up twice in the finals
RockSteady | April 5 @ 7:40 pm
n00b question: Do I just dive into changing everything to my next game (and not worry about changing my previous game) or is there more that needs to happen?
canes | April 5 @ 7:25 pm
I just realized that outside of my one best friends I've known for years, you guys on aim are my closest friends. yay baseball
bigivie | April 5 @ 7:23 pm
I'm going with V1 also...I can't imagine starting my franchise any later than tomorrow or Wednesday.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 7:16 pm
I'll be using his first version... I can do the remaining edits myself. But at this rate (not being moved to my 2nd game) it looks like I might not get to update.
Brady 12 | April 5 @ 7:15 pm
Will you guys be using Knight's first or second version rosters?
RockSteady | April 5 @ 7:12 pm
I cannot comment. He's suffered for 3.5 seasons of losing as a Pirates fan. He's obviously a better fan than anyone that's endured the 17 years of ineptitude.
bigivie | April 5 @ 7:09 pm
While we're here, let's discuss SheffG's latest blog entry about the Pirates. If anyone knows the Pirates, it's L.A. Native and Yankees fan SheffG
bigivie | April 5 @ 7:08 pm
prop bet: which comes first? next ODE game, or Knight's rosters?
canes | April 5 @ 7:07 pm
Knight says later evening for rosters. this will be version 1. version 2 will be mostly edit to stances and motions and he thinks next week for those
RockSteady | April 5 @ 7:03 pm
Are you Bo Bice?
bigivie | April 5 @ 6:57 pm
Anyone wanna play 20 questions?
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 6:56 pm
Posted a highlights video of the SD-ARI game.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 6:50 pm
So do I have to wait until Rob gets back to get switched? :(
RockSteady | April 5 @ 6:37 pm
Yes he did, I realized that as soon as I clicked "Post" ... Silly me.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 6:31 pm
Slick had 2 as well: TOR-TEX, and DET-KC
RockSteady | April 5 @ 6:31 pm
And slick ... Whoops.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 6:30 pm
According to the sign-up, Pujols, myself, bigivie and znscr3.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 6:30 pm
The following people had 2 games: znscr3, Pujols, Doc, bigi, and slick.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 6:29 pm
Yeah he does.
bigivie | April 5 @ 6:29 pm
znscr i think has a second also
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 6:28 pm
Me! I need switched lol.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 6:28 pm
Crap... what am I going to do now, I need to be switched to the Cardinals-Reds game.
robcoop | April 5 @ 6:28 pm
Can u all think of anyone else with 2 games?
bigivie | April 5 @ 6:26 pm
im ready to be switched as well
robcoop | April 5 @ 6:25 pm
OK RS. Hey all: I have to leave. Promised the kids a movie. I have posted all my in-game video to document my Indians-Sox game. Enjoy the rest of the ODE. Back by 9pm PST.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 6:22 pm
Rob ... Anytime you want to switch over my game, it would be greatly appreciated.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 5:50 pm
I'm holding onto this 3-1 lead... somehow. San Diego isn't making this easy.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 5:40 pm
Looks like we're 1-7 today...
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 5:17 pm
The strike zone has changed, more of a hitters zone now. Ump is squeezing both pitchers just a bit.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 5:02 pm
Oops... thanks.
bigivie | April 5 @ 5:01 pm
and the inning....says your Top 1
bigivie | April 5 @ 5:01 pm
Dan...update your runs column on the linescore
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 5:01 pm
2-0 Arizona and I just stranded Tony Gwynn Jr on 3rd base following his leadoff triple... Haren has six strikeouts through 3 innings.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:56 pm
my 7:00 PM Central time is looking like it'll get pushed back. I'm downloading the PS3 system update and it'll probably take a couple hours because of my connection. maybe Knight's roster will be out by then though.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:49 pm
1-0 Arizona on a sac fly.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 4:47 pm
Nevertheless, I have to leave for a few. See y'all by 9ish.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 4:45 pm
I'd love to get the game-by-game and user results for the last two years to construct a media guide-type post for next year's ODE. Rob, if there's any way that you can dig up the old stuff, let me know.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:38 pm
They don't call him McAwesome for nothing
RockSteady | April 5 @ 4:36 pm
To answer a previous question ... DMers were 8-7 in '08 and 6-9 last year.
canes | April 5 @ 4:34 pm
I'm going in the other room. I'll be checking in via my cell phone.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:31 pm
How come my linescore isn't showing up?
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:31 pm
Game is started in Arizona...
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:20 pm
lol
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:20 pm
Have fun starting for Iowa next week, Jeff.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:19 pm
Nice video Allan... I love the fact that you can just save the entire highlights reel this year. Good stuff.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:17 pm
Samardzija just gave up 3 runs after walking the bases loaded. Lou should have left Marshall in....dude was tossing straight junk
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:16 pm
glad to see Chicago's bullpen is living up to it's expectations. And I mean that literally. Chicago's bullpen sucks this year, and everyone knew it.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:14 pm
oops...fixing it now
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:14 pm
lol I'll do my best. I will be playing both games on Hall-of-Fame (default) difficulty using MLB 10.
canes | April 5 @ 4:12 pm
Evans texts me to inform that Palmer used New York, so we are 1-6. The foreign guy has the only win in America's pasttime. I will not stand for these shenanigans. Dan, win twice, for your country.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:12 pm
Allan you still have the refresh code on your page so after a minute or whatever it re-loads, so you can't watch the entire video. Just thought you would like to know. :)
all star 2 | April 5 @ 4:10 pm
*Applause. And all I know was first ODE we had alot of wins, second ODE I think another member and myself pulled out the only Ws.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:10 pm
I don't know past years records, but I do know I am personally 2-0 in these games... I hit a walk-off HR with Troy Glaus in 2008 and tossed a 3-hitter with Lincecum last year. I think we were slightly positive (maybe 8-7) in 2008, can't remember if we were above .500 last year.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:10 pm
check out my ODE page to see video highlights of the game...quality isn't so great, but it's still watchable
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:08 pm
Awesome... well the skies look to be clearing up, the news said this storm would pass by 6:30, looks like it may get over with just a little sooner.
canes | April 5 @ 4:08 pm
I know Palmer had said a few days ago he might use the fish. If he did, we're 0-7, if not, we are 1-6. Does anyone have records of the past ODEs? I don't rememeber if I won my game in the first one or not.
all star 2 | April 5 @ 4:08 pm
Maybe! I'm 2-0 in ODE.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:06 pm
yeah maybe you'll bring some good luck lol... stick around!
all star 2 | April 5 @ 4:04 pm
yeah im watching still, hopefully goknicks can pull through, although he is already down.
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:03 pm
there's no reason you can't still enjoy following the action, as2. In fact, you're the first non-participant to comment so far. We need all the cheering we can get, we've struggled as a group so far
bigivie | April 5 @ 4:02 pm
i'm uploading highlights of the Cubs-Braves game to youtube now. I'll post them on my ODE page whenever they finish
all star 2 | April 5 @ 4:01 pm
I was like oh crap, probably missed my confirm date, i see canes covered me, oh well i was looking foward to it
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 4:00 pm
Wow why did I say same here... lol I'm a bit irritated by this, I don't know what I'm doing anymore. lol
all star 2 | April 5 @ 3:59 pm
ugh, i totally just forgot about this.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:59 pm
Same here. I'm losing internet connection due to the storm, so my game will be delayed until about 6:45 when it's over.
bigivie | April 5 @ 3:58 pm
a real life rain delay
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:54 pm
OK if I start updating and randomly stop and don't come back for awhile that means I've probably lost power or something... there is a big storm coming in.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:53 pm
Doc used Minnesota, Palmer used New York (I think?)... are we 0-7 or 1-6? lol
canes | April 5 @ 3:50 pm
Put up a final boxscore with Dan's DM101 tools. It was too long so I crushed the width so it wasn't cutting off Milwaukee's stats. Looks different now, but it's good enough to still get the info you need.
canes | April 5 @ 3:49 pm
I thought Palmer was using Florida. I thought Doc had the lone win.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:38 pm
I'm going to see if SCEA's rosters are good enough for me to go on ahead and begin the San Diego-Arizona game. If they are I'll probably start at six.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:35 pm
I believe so.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 3:22 pm
Does Palmer have the only win so far?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 3:22 pm
Rob, you can activate my DET/KC game whenever you want. I'm all done with the Blue Jays/Rangers contest.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 3:19 pm
well that's all folks, my ODE record goes to 0-3 now.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 3:19 pm
Final in Texas: Blue Jays 12, Rangers 2. Ouch.
canes | April 5 @ 3:17 pm
Another loss for the good guys, I drop a 7-5 decision.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 3:14 pm
going to the 9th in HOU
RockSteady | April 5 @ 3:12 pm
Mistah Rob, I'll be playing the Pirates-Dodgers game at about 9ish (6ish out your way) ... Feel free to switch me over to that.
bigivie | April 5 @ 3:10 pm
I plan on playing the A's-M's game around 7 central Rob, so you can switch it over whenever you get the chance. I'm done with the Cubs game.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 3:04 pm
Maybe into canes' game
slickdtc | April 5 @ 3:03 pm
Not looking good for my Rangers, but ya never know.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:02 pm
1-3 record for the DMers so far, hopefully we can turn that around. Maybe we can pull off some comebacks in the games that are currently going on.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 2:53 pm
Yankees-Red Sox soon to get underway!
znscr3 | April 5 @ 2:53 pm
Alright, folks. I'm off to work. Good luck to all the DMers taking part in ODE (we got to turn it around lol) and be sure to drop in for O's-Rays sometime around 11:00 PM EST.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:52 pm
way better offense this season eh? LOL
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 2:52 pm
Just posted the preview article for my first game... I will begin at around 6:30-7:00 ET.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:52 pm
8-3 at Atlanta. They are still in bottom of the second
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:47 pm
Same RockSteady had lost ?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 2:44 pm
Blue Jays pulling away from the Rangers (me), 7-2. Bottom 7th.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:40 pm
this is why it was wise to let him start in ATL. ROY this season
znscr3 | April 5 @ 2:39 pm
He's nasty, guys. Flat out nasty. I can only hope the Braves keep him.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 2:38 pm
Wow, how fitting. He's going to be amazing.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:34 pm
Heyward hits a 3-run homer as first AB in MLB
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:31 pm
You'll might watching Duke-Butler before idk.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 2:29 pm
No, it's official that Evans has to go to work. If I was crazy, I'd finish watching Dook-Butler (Go Bulldogs!), THEN start O's-Rays.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:27 pm
HOU hitting everything my word lol
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:26 pm
It's official, Evans is crazy ;)
slickdtc | April 5 @ 2:25 pm
Yeah, for my 2nd game (DET @ KC), it'll likely be a midnight-ish start time. Possibly into the wee hours of the morning.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 2:23 pm
ODE Nation, expect first pitch between the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays around 11:00 PM EST. It'll be Late Night with Evans!
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:23 pm
well... bad luck here..
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:19 pm
ok back to the game.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:19 pm
crap... Byrd 3-run shot...
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:18 pm
sorry for the lack of updates sorta watching the Braves game lol
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:17 pm
I use to be all HoF but since last years game came out I can't hit at all
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:15 pm
I'm still alone to have win, but the true score is 7-1 :)
znscr3 | April 5 @ 2:11 pm
I hear ya, slick. Same here.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 2:11 pm
I suck, I play on Veteran.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:08 pm
legend on both for me
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 2:06 pm
All-star hitting, HoF pitching.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 2:05 pm
which level you're playing ?
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 1:57 pm
BOOM goes the dynamite.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 1:51 pm
disastrous innng...
slickdtc | April 5 @ 1:48 pm
Oop, there goes the tie I worked so hard for. Blue Jays go back on top, 2-1, with a HR from Vernon Wells.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 1:44 pm
they're getting to Lincecum now...
bigivie | April 5 @ 1:41 pm
We fall to 1-2 on the day, as the Cubs lose to Atlanta
slickdtc | April 5 @ 1:41 pm
And now I have my first run of ODE '10. All tied up in Arlington!
slickdtc | April 5 @ 1:34 pm
Got my first hit of ODE '10. Already gave up my first hits and runs. lol
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 1:32 pm
nvm it appears to be fixed now.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 1:32 pm
Somebody else messed up the ticker... don't use an apostrophe when updating your ticker. Figured I'd post since Rob stepped out.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 1:14 pm
Yunel Escobar FTW.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 1:13 pm
he's a good one ;D
bigivie | April 5 @ 1:11 pm
and made some clutch plays at SS
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 1:10 pm
Escobar's hit 2 HR's? wow!
robcoop | April 5 @ 1:08 pm
Awesome! 5 live games.
robcoop | April 5 @ 1:07 pm
No can I leave to drink my pot of coffee? And, maybe to see an inning of real baseball?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 1:06 pm
Good to go. Thanks. Sorry for being so needy lol
robcoop | April 5 @ 1:05 pm
Look now.
robcoop | April 5 @ 1:04 pm
Slick - it's at the absolute top of your admin page.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 1:03 pm
It's not showing a box or anything to click in the Game Status yellow box. I'll post screen on the forums.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:59 pm
Where is that located? I don't see it on my ODE admin page... I'm using Default Form if tat makes a difference.
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:56 pm
Check "game live".
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:55 pm
ALL: Make sure to use the "game status" feature. That determines if you show up properly in sidebar on ODE.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 12:55 pm
99 degrees with clear skies ouch
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 12:52 pm
We are live from Houston!
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:52 pm
my score isn't showing on the left margin again.
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 12:52 pm
I remember in the first ever ODE I was the Braves playing the Nats and went like 15 innings lol
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:52 pm
ALL: got to take a break. If any problems, shoot quick email to robcoop@dynastymanager.com
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:50 pm
I had an aweful game using MLB 2K9. My sliders were whacked and it was a lop-sided non-competitive game. Florida vs Mets I think. I like MLB 2K10 so it should be different.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:48 pm
Walk off, btw. I think it was bottom of the 10th. I think Juan Pierre had a hand in that one...
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 12:48 pm
Wasn't Shaun shut out last year? got like 1 hit or something?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:47 pm
Yeah I won 1-0 with the Dodgers over the ... Giants? In ODE 08.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:47 pm
Nah, I did get pounded 11-3 though. http://www.dynastymanager.com/teampage.php?view=news&story=5478&sport=mlb&u=slickdtc That was only one of my ODE 09 games, though. I believe I also got beat up on by the Angels as the A's.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 12:45 pm
Sheff was blanked in '08 and I think slick rolled a zero last year. If I recall correctly, I think he won 1-0 in '08.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 12:45 pm
I'm following. Good luck!
AndruwFan | April 5 @ 12:44 pm
alright time for some great pitching, Giants and Astros begin momentarily, if anyone is around lol
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:43 pm
slick - was it you or SheffG that was shut out? Do you remember your ODE '09 results?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:42 pm
Game is getting underway in Arlington, Texas. Blue Jays at Rangers... NEXT!
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:31 pm
slick - it's there now.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:28 pm
It's not showing my game to be played later today on the left margin there. It's the Blue Jays/Rangers game.
znscr3 | April 5 @ 12:25 pm
Thank you, sir.
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:24 pm
z- you can get into your game now. Just pm me when you want to set up your next game.
bigivie | April 5 @ 12:23 pm
We are tied in the ATL
znscr3 | April 5 @ 12:21 pm
I was going to add a box score to my Nats-Phils game, but it will no longer allow me to log in?
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:17 pm
Alright it works now
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:17 pm
Rob... can you help me out with the log in
robcoop | April 5 @ 12:16 pm
I'm going to try some unique for my game. Will attempt video updates (after every 2 to 3 innings).
bigivie | April 5 @ 12:12 pm
Cubs take a 2-0 lead. Lowe is getting shelled right now. He's at 55 pitches and we're only in the 4th.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 12:05 pm
Didn't work... I'm beat...
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 11:59 am
First game in the books, 1-0 lead for the CPU.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 11:59 am
i'll try it on firefox. im on Opera now.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 11:59 am
it's not letting me log in to my ODE game. I'm logged into my DM account clearly as it's showing my username.
slickdtc | April 5 @ 11:54 am
slick checking in what's good everyone
robcoop | April 5 @ 11:51 am
All: don't use apostrophe in your one line updates. The scroller will crash.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 11:49 am
And we're underway in Anaheim.
GoKnicks | April 5 @ 11:39 am
First lead for the ODErs!
bigivie | April 5 @ 10:56 am
I'm gonna go ahead and get things started
znscr3 | April 5 @ 10:45 am
I was unaware of that, sir. You taught me something today.
bigivie | April 5 @ 10:39 am
Hammerin' Hank Aaron will throw out the first pitch for my Cubs-Braves game in the next 15-20 minutes. Do Braves fans know he tried to buy the Cubs last year?
znscr3 | April 5 @ 10:34 am
I am using MLB 10 The Show on the PS2. Homers fixed.
palmer08 | April 5 @ 10:33 am
With the time difference, I've played the game this afternoon (morning for you) but I wait a bit before updating the game :)
robcoop | April 5 @ 10:30 am
znscr3 - update your homers tally for the default boxscore.
robcoop | April 5 @ 10:29 am
What game you using znscr3?
znscr3 | April 5 @ 10:17 am
Pudge holds on to the ball on a collision at the plate with Jimmy Rollins to keep the Phillies off the board in the first.
robcoop | April 5 @ 10:15 am
Bigivie - fixed the headline problem.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 10:05 am
Ah yes, the SheffG egg. At least I got the Pirates on the board last year. Too bad the Cardinals simply murdered me in the middle innings.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 9:59 am
All I remember was SheffG getting 2-hit the first year... lol
RockSteady | April 5 @ 9:59 am
Looks like Phils-Nats will be the first game. Go Natinals!
bigivie | April 5 @ 9:56 am
Any reason Andruwfan's headline is showing up on all the pages?
robcoop | April 5 @ 9:56 am
All I remember about last year was slick getting pummeled. I don't think he scored a run.
RockSteady | April 5 @ 9:54 am
Again, big kudos to bhurst for the Opening Day Tribute vids. Just as much a part of ODE as the Pirates losing (they're 0-2 in ODE history) ... Does anyone have tabs on the '08 and 09 ODE results?
robcoop | April 5 @ 9:50 am
It's ODE time. Reminder, when you begin your games, click "Live Game" on your ODE admin forms.
bigivie | April 5 @ 7:25 am
Play Ball!
robcoop | April 5 @ 4:09 am
To all: if you want to put up a preview article, do so, that will help fill in the headline area.
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 3:17 am
I'm going to bed now lol, getting up at 9am to go do some stuff and then I'll be on here/watching the real-life games the rest of the day. Later!
robcoop | April 5 @ 2:54 am
Go to sleep!
Pujols4MVP | April 5 @ 2:26 am
Looking good Rob!
robcoop | April 4 @ 10:44 pm
bhurst - love your annual Opening Day Youtube videos!
robcoop | April 4 @ 5:22 pm
Wow. Just felt an earthquake in L.A. If you've never been in one... it's a strange feeling.
robcoop | April 3 @ 9:11 pm
Those MLB the Show screens are amazing. I hope the game plays as good as it looks.
Pujols4MVP | April 3 @ 8:21 pm
The fun part is about to begin... making it so that everything will work through the database. lol
robcoop | April 3 @ 8:08 pm
Your ODE set up looks great!
Pujols4MVP | April 3 @ 8:05 pm
Awesome, can't wait for this.
robcoop | April 3 @ 7:57 pm
Thanks P! Still working on it. I won't be home until early eve Sunday. So trying to get a lot done tonite.
Pujols4MVP | April 3 @ 7:52 pm
Page looks awesome!
robcoop | April 3 @ 7:44 pm
I can't believe you didn't score any runs on that team slick!
