Solid. I'm still attempting to conceive of some kind of auto-clicking device.

blubbla · 05-09-2003, 01:17 AM

Gload got at least 30 more from me today, and I'm working on getting Jim Abbott to bump Phil Rizzuto -- there's about 1750 difference there.

Anybody else who wants to see Scooter off of that list sooner rather than later... feel free to bump Abbott. Just make sure you give Gload equal treatment.

blubbla · 05-09-2003, 10:31 AM

This is taking off...

Gload's hit counter: 4982
Rizzuto: 60370
Jim Abbott (my project): 58633

Minimum needed for Gload to chart: 55388

Dwolfson20 · 05-09-2003, 01:45 PM

Wow, I wasn't expecting Gload to get more than 1,000 hits! We basically increased his total by 25% in just one day... nice going.

Remember kids: the mosre posts you make, the more it'll cost DWolfson. Don't be scared, click away!

Ah, hadn't thought of that. But I don't think they'll charge me any more than the original price this year. It's just that I'm not going to pay $300 to re-up my sponsorship a year from now.

kq76 · 05-10-2003, 12:23 AM

Just charge it to Markus's credit card.

blubbla · 05-10-2003, 01:30 AM

At least we'll meet the goal, though.

Just curious, what was the original price that you had to pay?

haha, this is funny. I just clicked it about 200 times (my finger and F5 key are tired). hopefully they don't charge you extra $$$ for all the clicks

$5. I think that's the lowest price they have. But since it's clearly based on exposure (i.e. Brian Kingman costing $320), it's going to go up if we reach the goal. But I think it will be worth it. Oh yeah, and I've already clicked 200 times this morning to try to make up for yesterday's pathetic effort.

EDIT: Thanks for the F5 tip, edm! That's much easier and will hopefully prolong carpal tunnel!

blubbla · 05-10-2003, 01:06 PM

About 25 more from me -- and the same for my boy Jim Abbott. Scooter is gonna be booted soon.

Dwolfson20 · 05-10-2003, 01:43 PM

Did you know that Ross Gload has never made an error in the major leagues? You find out things like that when you reload his page 100 times in a row.

blubbla · 05-10-2003, 01:55 PM

of course, Gload doesn't have too many games in the majors, either...

twins15 · 05-10-2003, 02:10 PM

About 50-75 more times for me.

His range factor is crazy!! I have a feeling I will memorize his stats sometime soon.

twins15 · 05-10-2003, 04:26 PM

Did you know over the course of a full season, if he kept his stats the same, he would only ground into 4 double plays.

Dwolfson20 · 05-10-2003, 05:07 PM

Wow, now that's just good hitting!

Dwolfson20 · 05-10-2003, 05:08 PM

See? He really is that good.
