5. For runlines and game totals (over/under), a baseball game becomes official after 8 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 9 innings if visiting team is winning.
This also appies to TEAM TOTALS.
This is the reason you guys may see a difference in the records from last night ,as the NYY game was called after 8 innings.
Thank You.

****************

TRK - the number one rule decided upon was always only plays listed here will count. There are plenty of reasons for that. We don't think it's fair for our recordkeeper to look all over the internet for each person's plays. We also do not think it's fair for the players and followers of the picks to look all over carnation for where that cappers plays are. Jake won over 20 units the other day and knowing he was hot I wanted to look the next day and I could not find his picks. It's silly that anyone else who wants to see some picks from the leaders or whoever is hot has to go look for them off the site. I went along with you on Jake because you asked me to do you a favor and allow him and only him to post his plays elsewhere yet count them here. Others told me then NOT TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION. I did and I took a lot of heat from it from others but you told me this would be the last season of it. I never dreamed you would be adding another poster off site. There is now two who do not post all their plays here yet wants their picks listed on our site, the answer is no. ONLY PICKS LISTED ON THE RX FROM NOW ON WILL COUNT. If Dogball and the Rx resolve their differences his current record will stand and those plays listed here from then on will naturally count. I think that is fair to everyone involved. That goes for Jake too from here on out. Sorry Jake I like you and I let it go as long as I could but as with most rules now others want to be treated the same way. Can't blame them for that so we will do it the way it was originally set up. Probably a good idea to set it right and reaffirm the rules before football season anyway. Sorry TRK as I know you do this on your own but these are the official stats of the Prescription, not fair for some to be able to post at other places and not everyone else. We have to be consistant and we will be starting from here on out. I hope the other contestants who do things properly and the other readers will support me on this as a few will be crying about how mean we are as always. I like you and I think you are a friend TRK but I have to make a ruling on this now. Sorry.

Plus it was an 0-2 night so I'm grouchy to begin with.

Dogball was 1-2 yesterday? I did not and do not see any post from him for yesterday. Could you please explain this or should I wipe my eyes well and take another look at yesterday's posts?

HectorLopez · Jul 22, 2003

I also believe that McIrish was 0-2 yesterday since one of his over/under games got called in the eight inning, thus making that bet a push.

THERECORDKEEPER2 · Jul 22, 2003

No need to wipe your eyes my friend!LOL!
Dogball mails me his plays for the challenge,I accept this because DB has posted plays everyday in my challenge ,and has always played by the rules within the challenge.
He has posted over 400 plays in the challenge and we are more than halfway through the season so I see no reason not to add his plays in the challenge.
I do understand the falling out between DB and THERX ,however I feel this has nothing to do with the challenge,I hope all parties involved feel the same way!
Thank You!

raiders72001 · Jul 22, 2003

You guys know me and I don't like to start any trouble

but Dogballs plays are posted elsewhere so they are legit. IEven if they weren't posted I think we all trust TRK. Don't ask where the plays are posted because I won't tell.

RAIDERS72001, where are Dogball's plays posted?? LOL Just kidding buddy.

EveryGamblersDream · Jul 22, 2003

Ahh good old Hector lmao

PatrickMcIrish · Jul 22, 2003

Hector - thanks for getting me to 0-2 intead of 0-3.

For the record ONLY plays listed here will be in the challenge. Nothing else will count or be listed from this day forward. Thanks.

His plays will all be listed here that show up in the challenge, no reason to aggravate yourself looking for our contestants. I will write him and hope he understands.

jwunderdog · Jul 22, 2003

I didn't realize that you were actually tracking Jake even though his plays were not posted here.Very surprised, unless this is a tout monitoring service I don't see what the point was? What positive contribution does Jake make by not posting his plays here? Basically you are giving Jake free advertizing and getting nothing in return.

Nothing against Jake, in fact it was a smart move by him but not the RX.

PatrickMcIrish · Jul 22, 2003

Jdog - I agree 100%. TRK asked me if I would make him that one exception with Jake. He said he would post some here and some elsewhere. I didn't really like it from the site's perspective but you have to remember TRK is volunteering to do this. So with that in mind and the fact it was going on before I got here I let it go. Now that there is another one that TRK wants to do it for I have got to end it. Looking back maybe I should have enforced it the first time but only a few had complained so I was trying to be a nice guy. It is the official RX challenge standings and it will from now on be only plays posted here.

You know where they say nice guys finish.

EveryGamblersDream · Jul 22, 2003

No offense but dogball has had his plays monitored all this time & was posting on here until he couldn't anymore. So why kick him out over halfway through the season?

This whole situation smells but whatelse is new coming from the RX.

Who is it really hurting if he is monitored anyway?

jwunderdog · Jul 22, 2003

McIrsh, It does look a little strange with you bringing this up Now that you are in second place.

But still the right thing to do.

Kodiak7 · Jul 22, 2003

lol...

well the you better watch out for me meat... I'm nipping on your toes...

ALL OF YOUR ASSES LOOK FAT AS HELL!

JakeT. · Jul 22, 2003

Taking away the top two guys of the challenge? Don't look for me to post my picks here just to get into the challenge. Taking your word back ain't cool either. Picks will be where they've been for most of the season.

raiders72001 · Jul 22, 2003

Jake- I have to agree with Irish. If you want your plays recorded here than post them here.

I respect your opinion, but I don't plan on posting any picks on therx the rest of this season.
