Questions:

1. Who's batting for you (Dodgers game)?

Masten J.T. Snow
Congo Shinjo (switched to Shinjo after attempting to choose Jeff Kent, who had already hit a home run)
Rainman Torrealba (wanted Santiago, but he didn't play)
Archie Shawn Green
   Masten wins tie between Snow and Shinjo. Tiebreaker was correctly picking attendance.

2. Who's batting for you (Angels game)?

Masten Erstad (2 for 5, run)
Congo Glaus (1 for 3, walk, home run, 3 rbi, run)
Rainman Spezio (1 for 4, home run, rbi, run)
Archie Anderson (2 for 4, 2 rbi)
Archie would have had tiebreaker by winning dirt bike race on diamond vision (red bike won)

3. What would you do in baseball at the end of the season (in particular address the contraction issue)?

Masten Contract Montreal, Houston, Florida, Tampa Bay. Move Toronto to Washington D.C.
Congo Contract Montreal, Tampa Bay. Move St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles
Rainman Contract Florida, Tampa Bay. Ban domes.
Archie Contract Florida, Tampa Bay, Montreal, Colorado, Arizona. Move Los Angeles Clippers to San Diego. Ban artificial turf.

4. If you were a hot dog and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

Masten I'd lick myself and soft gnaw until I got some juice.
Congo No, I would not, but I were a tofu-dog...sure, with some mustard and pickles.
Rainman No, not gonna be a big homo. I'd like to die an honorable death like a homosexual.*
*The accurate quote is "I'd like to die an honorable death, NOT like a homosexual."
Archie Yes, I'd start with the extremities first until the hunger subsided. If you're gonna die, you might as well die with a hot dog in your mouth.**
**The accurate quote is "If you're gonna die, you might as well die with a hot dog in your BELLY."

5. Should Russian parents, who allow their daughters to become mail order brides who are then killed by the new husbands, be allowed to stay in the United States?
