Awfully hard to laugh at something so painful. :wink:

You'll be fine so long as that starting rotation stays healthy...er..um...

 

Where have I heard that before?

 

It's not a bad team though. It's a good thing your a Cubs fan with that team though. Or maybe it will just hurt twice as bad if they can't get healthy.

 

Good luck! Sounds like a fun league.

Yeh, I'm going to have to take some pretty drastic insurance measures. Right now I'm thinking of adding a fifth and a sixth ace behind Prior, Wood, Beckett and Burnett, aces of a slightly more dependable kind, obviously. And I think that I can achieve that purely by dealing away excess pitching depth. Even right now, I think on upside alone my starting pitching is by far the best in the league, though my lineup is slightly old in places it should still absolutely rake top to bottom, and the bullpen's not a problem at all, I don't think. So if I can bolster my starting rotation, I think I'm going to good to go.
