    Fuck, Gio Gonzalez is starting. I'll take the 6-5 win, keep my streak alive, and walk away happy.

    I just got my first win since Week 1. 8-3

    Ironically, I lost the one category I thought I'd had locked (HRs), as I forgot my opponent had Josh Hamilton, who refuses to take more than 2 weeks off, and Justin Morneau, who always is only good when facing me.

    I'm just happy my pitching was good for a single week.

    I don't know if it's a sign of how bad your team is at hitting home runs that you thought having an 8-5 lead after Wednesday was going to hold up or what but I could have told you it wasn't lasting.

    At least I'll get kemp back on Tuesday. Raul ibanez can fuck off to the waiver wire again.

    Morneau has also been a consistent producer for most of the year.

    I only have 2 bench spots that aren't taken up by a player on the DL. This blows.

    Chris Young could possibly be going back too. Then I'll only have one spot.

    Every game will be 7 hours long

    Pitching classics

    Cubs win all 3

    Only one run scored in each

    All runs scored by Alfonso Soriano

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    you laugh but I'm pretty sure he and castro have been responsible for all the offense for the past week anyways

    and it's more likely that each game will be like two hours and twenty minutes long

    8 now. Giving up that run pissed him off. If he strikes out less than 15 today I will be shocked.

    3 home runs today from Saltalamacchia and Chase Headley. Maybe I can compete with Angry on the power front.

    I struggled hard for 10 minutes trying to decide who to start: Peralta and Soriano, or Desmond and Wigginton

    I picked the latter. Desmond sucked. Wigginton did perfect. Yet both Peralta and Soriano got HRs.

    Sigh.

    And @Maximum I saw your trade. Yeah, no.

    Sorry, but I will never trade Fielder for a Royal, especially Alex Gordon. Even if Peavy would be a good replacement for Nova at times.

    I'd only reasonably trade Fielder for a power-hitting first baseman who would be a knock for at least 40 HRs a year.

    I didn't think so either.

    Trying to move Peavy for a 1b though with Adrian Gonzalez just gaining OF eligibility.

    IDK why this double posted

    Might as well fill this up with how shocked and happy I am that the Orioles and Nationals are still doing as great as they are

    You could just drop Trevor Bauer and pick up a first baseman on the free agency

    Todd Helton, Justin Smoak, Wilson Betemit, James Loney, etc

    There's a bunch available, and whatever stats any of them contribute is still more stats than a non-active pitcher on your bench

    Logan Morrison just got 1B eligblility

    I would listen to trade offers

    But I have the best pitching prospect in all of baseball.

    Encarnacion just hit a 390 line drive that took about 1.5 seconds to leave the park.

    what a shame this will be wasted on dr funkenstein

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom Registered User regular
    The funny thing is, he's only 3 away from not being in last place anymore.

    All it takes is one good week from him and a bad week from the nearest guy to him.

    picking up dexter fowler last week has worked out

    he's only hit fifty million home runs since I got him

    I think you made a really bad trade.

    Not because Tex is struggling, because he always improves as the season goes along.

    Peavy is pitching very well this year.

    I have pitching and I think he'll get hurt again, like he always does.

    Plus, Cellular Field turns into a home run derby park in the summer so even if he doesn't go to the dl I'm guessing he can't sustain his numbers.

    Sorry for the double post, but Roy Oswalt signed with the Rangers minutes ago.
