not so big week this week

[abuck1220]

only thing yet to be decided is first place in the west. the six playoff teams have been decided, and GHS has clinched the east.

I'd say its a very big week for me and just about nobody else. I have to win to stay alive whereas tim can lose as long as he wins next week.

I just need everyone off the DL and/or at full strength. As much as the guys on the DL hurts, Gomes and Ensberg playing through shoulder injuries that sap their power has hurt nearly as much.

[abuck1220]

your baker-esque boo hooing about injuries is pretty painful in itself.

 

:D

I'm just trying to get horses back for the playoffs, particularly the proven veterans like Mussina and Gordon. Respect for my club goes down the tubes if I have to call up Maine and Duchscherer.

Not true. The all-important issue of who gets the number one draft pick (currently a 3-way tie) is still very much up in the air. :D

[Quakers]

Since this will be my first trip, how does the play-off system work?

you lose!

 

:D

 

same as the regular season - 2 versus 3 in the first round - winner plays first place in the 2nd round. final is two weeks with lineup changes allowed between weeks.

gah, should have started sheets this week...man, has he been hot/cold since he came back from injury. thankfully, i knew myers would kill the cubs, so i left him out there.

 

i was getting soooo close to catching tim for total points...soooo close.

don't worry, sheets will be hurt again soon.

[Quakers]

Ah, Millwood. I will need better pitching to beat Juan and Tim.

 

It is not helping matters that Rios has not been the same since his staph infection.

 

BTW - Am I the only one who thinks that the Cubs have some decent young pitching. I know they have been inconsistent, but Marshall, Mateo, Marmol, Guzman, Hill, and company give me hope for the future.

[stitchface]

I agree with you quakers. btw, aramis ramirez is good.

[NCCubFan]

Bad news and good news for me today. Bad news: Hamels got mercilessly pounded, so bad he already has negative points even before the deductions for total bases allowed. Good news: At least it was the Cubs that inflicted the damage. :D

[Quakers]

I seem to be involved in a close one this week.

[NCCubFan]

I see I'm getting some love in the latest poll on the Roadkill site. :D

[abuck1220]

there's a new sheriff in town!

 

Galesburg Hand Sanitizers  17 3 0 0.850 0 W10 10-2-0 2 5905.3 0.0 4995.9 

 

at least for one day...

And my team seems to have been arrested by the sheriff.

[Quakers]

It should be noted that GHS's defense has been pretty good this year too.

It's probably because they have Clemens in the rotation. That's a lot of respect right there. Although, Rich Hill was recently added to the rotation, so that might make the club more vulnerable with the rook in there. And Papelbon too, there's no respect there...

[stitchface]

now its matt cain versus the reds - go Reds! Stupid rain!

well, i don't have jacque jones out there.*

 

*i'm not a racist

[Quakers]

lol :)

 

That is all that I can say, except to add

 

"I can't, nor would any manager, fault a player for such a hustling mistake" Rick Sutcliffe. :wtg:

yeah, i enjoyed that too. the first few innings of this broadcast were just brutal...i have it on mute now.

[Quakers]

I am down 249.35 to 249, but I think I will end up ahead after all the overnight points are counted. Either way, this has been a close one.

[Guest]

Well, I think that with my victory this week and with Lynx' apparent loss to Fuzzy that I win the west during the regular season.

 

Hopefully my team will come together for the playoffs.
