I Have HAD it!
To have any chance of keeping pace with mysteryX I needed a third semifinalist other than Nalbandian in Rome. Davydenko landed in Federer's quarter, so I knew I was toast on that front. I put Safin in the lineup as a preventive measure because I really liked his draw, and mystery, 3m and sebs all already had him in there's, so I had to put him in (I thought) just to keep pace. So that left the weenie from hell, Haas, to save my azz... But no, he decided to dump his first round match.
So what happens today? Davydenko retires after losing the first set, which not only means I'll fall further behind as Nalbandian continues to win, but I lose 5 points because of the retirement.
I now officially need a complete and unexpected miracle to catch mystery... Hell, I'll be lucky to hold of 3m and sebs at this rate.
Except for putting Nadal in the lineup, not a single substitution has done me any good. In fact, I think I may have cursed the guys I put into the lineup because none of them have managed to beat a rug since I put them in.
I don't think even my dog can save me now...

Re: I Have HAD it!
Hey, Dry, you don't have to worry about me.
A third of my team isn't playing in the tournament (Karlovic, Djokovic, Muller, and, of course, the injured-since-AO Zabaleta), 5 lost in the first round (Ljubicic, Grosjean, Moya, Safin and Murray), and Baghdatis lost in the second round. That leaves just Federer and Nadal for me."The official and decisive text to the Rules of Tennis shall be for ever in the English

Re: I Have HAD it!
Nothing after the 1st ball hit was able to save me.
I'm not certain if I have 1 or 2 subs left and I realized while making substitutions on Monte Carlo that my team should have been disqualified from the start.
My team is juiced!!1 Hehehehe!!!!!!

Re: I Have HAD it!
Heck, I've long given up. I just hope that I can finish ahead of Randomskan.
I'm looking forward to the next contest " mowing the lawns into Wimbledon." [smiley=grin.gif]
