While we are throwing out the early season questions, I'd thought I'd toss this one out there. Which of Shades' teams has a better chance to cash, his original "Shades" squad, or the one he assigned to his kids' initials, "CASWAS"?
Both teams have Nick "holy crap, this isn't the Nationwide Tour!!!" Flanagan, and Omar "could someone get me a phonebook so I can boost myself up to see over the steering wheel on the golf cart" Uresti, and of course David "I'm free this weekend, you guys want to go snowboarding?" Duval, so they don't factor into the equation. It also says without question that these were the most sure picks that Shades could come up with, as they are the base of both of his teams. Uh yikes. And double yikes for me for having two of these ass clowns on my team (Duval and Flanagan). Stupid Kool-Aid.
Let's look at the short picks... Shades chose Mark Wilson, a man who spends more time in Q-school than Excal spends at his local bar. Unlike Excal though, Wilson seems to have kicked the habit, and is having a wonderful little start to his year. Always nice to see a journeyman do well out there, unless of course you short him. CASWAS shorted Stuart "foreign player with all his success in America" Appleby, who's also off to a good start. Hmmm... two bad short picks, it's hard to figure out which will be "better"...
The rest of the teams look like this...
Shades: Robert Allenby, Ben Crane, Phil Mickelson, Tag "you're it" Ridings, and Chris Stroud.
CASWAS: Chris "Duval without the major" DiMarco, Dudley "do right" Hart, Jeff Overton, Justin "I actually am a foreign player and won't play much here" Rose, and Adam "I played like Eve against Aquaman the other day" Scott.
Hmmmm... I don't like either of these groups as a whole. Lots and lots of risk, particularly when you factor in the short picks that are killing both teams, and the "base" that has made exactly 2 cuts between them. Tough choice, tough choice... it's like picking between root canal surgery and a colonoscopy (discuss!).
Here's a more sporting thought... COMBINED will these teams crack the top 3?
Respectfully submitted,

Omar will come through. He will come through. He has to come through. Please Omar, make a cut.
Yeah, maybe he'll play well in Texas. He'll have the whole 'hook and horns' thing going for him, for whatever that's worth.
I'll remind you, though, that he refers to himself as the "O-Man". Anyone who nicknames himself -- and yes, that includes having to call yourself the Shize -- is suspect.
Years ago, Dennis Paulson wanted everyone to refer to him as "the Chief", so he became "the Chef" instead.
MG, it's actually "hook 'em horns" but as a UCLA gal, you're forgiven.
Years back when Joel (Excal) was running the pool, he refered to himself as "da commish". By itself, harmless... but when he started issuing "proclamations", well, we had a bloodless coup.
Thanks Steve
The "O-man", maybe the "Oh Man, I missed another cut" should be his nickname.
Nice jab MG. Im impressed with little extra shot in the arm during your explanation of Omar.
Well done
NT, please trash the CASWAS team a bit. It needs the boost like you helped provide for my "Shades" team.
