      That's why it's called trivia and not "Free Points for Everyone"

        Why don't they just ask me what team he was on when he his 117th? It's a nonsense question. These are the type of questions that make me not want to renew my pro membership.

                    it is not super hard but probably hard for 10 pointer he played his first 10 years or so for Colorado and Chicago so would have way over 50 by then and Colorado is not listed

                        No. You guys are missing the point of the question. It reads like he hit 50 HRs in a single season which obviously he has never done. That's why it is bush league. I am not complaining about losing, most times I lose. The questions should be worded fairly is all I am asking.

                          you have at least 350 freeplay points from the last 2 weeks. that's not bad

                          i can see how you could misunderstand the question, but it doesn't say "50th hr of the season" and he never hit 50 hrs in a season so the default would be his 50th career hr

                          i actually think that's a really easy question since he played his first 8 years with the rockies and white sox. if rockies was a choice then it becomes much more difficult

                            They were a choice, I think. I just forgot the last 2 teams and put 2 random teams. I blew those 350 free points. May just go all in Jets tnght. Whatever I guess. Not going to think about it anymore.

                              No the question actually reads 50th career home run i think.

                              I mean why would you think that he ever had 50 homeruns in one year????? You deserve some tough questions since you obviously get most of the easy one right

                                Its a good discussion, i thought it was easy but for a first question the younger guys would just be guessing at it and its tough to search.
                                i kept getting 3rd questions that were insanely difficult, so ive been quitting after the 2nd one (on the rare occassion i make it that far)

                                  Hey buddy you liberal hand out wanting mother fukker. It reads as it reads. What team did he hit his 50th home run on. If you know the rooster sucker didn't hit 50 in a season, it is pretty fukkin simple. Read a fukkin book and you'll understand how to fukkin translate it.

                                      i'll agree that it probably isnt a fair 10 pt question but it's pretty obvious that it's referring to his career when you know he hasn't ever come close to 50 in a season. if it was a guy like manny ramirez who never did it but hit a lot then it could be confusing...not with uribe
