Yeah, he's still giving us a good beating. Going to have to try a win-it-or-bin-it strategy one of these weeks.

I blame Dan. Dan passed him after Silverstone. That just made Scott mad. So in two races since he's gone from one point behind to 32 points ahead.

At least the race for second is tightening.

Updated after Aragón. Let's face it. When we have bad weeks, Motodog has a good week. When we have a good week, Motodog has a better week.

Hey, I'll jump on that bandwagon. Let's blame Dan. If we get Gregg on board, that's three votes out of five that it's Dan's fault.

Darn you, Dan!

I'm thinking this can be the race for first if we use the same strategy for Scott that I applied to Gregg -- hire someone to steal his bike just before the race so he's too pissed off to make his picks..

Hey, the only thing you can blame me for is not checking my lineups on Friday or Saturday and just going with my gut when I remember on Wed or Thur to make sure I have picks set.

On weeks I haven't checked out the news on FP1-3, I fall behind...

32 points is a lot of catch up to do, but I'll do some research for the remaining weeks. I want that trophy.

Now there's a plan I can rally around.

Speaking of doing research, I'm not even sure who is racing this weekend and who is still on the mend.

You're only four points behind me. I hope you don't think I'm going to do the sportsmanlike thing and brief you.

I'm pinning my strategy on Valencia.

Don't forget to get your picks in early this week, what with the race being in Japan and all those confusing time zones and stuff.

I suggest you keep it simple. Dani Pedrosa has a great track record at Motegi, so you should all just pick him for the win. Don't even waste your time reading the news or anything like that.

 :lol:

I mean, uh, oh yeah -- totally. Right. You'd be nuts not to go with Dani.  :thumbsup:  Really.

And I think we'll see an Iannone breakthrough as well.

First time this year I made the MotoGP.com leader board, tied for 13th. Helps that I had MM93 and Dovi 1-2. That has to be worth a dancing banana.

I can proudly say I picked every rider that crashed. But then, I'm probably not alone.

Team: Edward
Round: 93
Total: 1364

I'm barely hanging in the top 1000 overall at #974.
