Came in third

Which was good because second prize was a really tacky bedroom set and third prize was a plain-paper fax machine. This was about 15 years ago, when home fax machines were somewhat expensive.

I tried out on a lark — one of my colleagues and her husband had signed up and brought me along, I passed the audition and they didn’t. About 90% of passing the audition, if you know the answers, is not to say something that would need to be bleeped if you get an answer wrong. The production is done very cheaply, they don’t like to edit, so they were disqualifying people for that. About 90% of winning the game is getting the timing of hitting the buzzer right, so returning contestants have an advantage.

The experience is sort of like being on jury duty, lots of waiting around in a sequestered room. They tape five shows a day so you have to bring a lot of clothes, in case you get picked for the first show and keep winning. It was fun though. At the time I did it, if you were a contestant once you couldn’t ever apply again, otherwise I would definitely go for it. Now I think you’re only out for five years, but the old rules apply to former contestants.

It's the fans that make the game fun. -- Rickey Henderson, July 26, 2009.

so im thinking...

what would we have to give up to get an A. Gonzalez, P. Fielder,or even Hanley Ramirez? I realize the marlins probably have plenty of young sp.

would a Barton/Doolittle/Simmons/Hrod for A. Gonzalez or Fielder be crazy?

If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.
