week 10

[Chris]

Saw that wrong, I will get 7 starts. Either way, still down a ton.

I picked up Inge because of ARam's injury. If there are objections to me putting him in the lineup, please let me know.

Wow. Carl Crawford going for the best offensive week of the year.

 

soriano might have something to say about that.

[abuck1220]

my team is really beating the [expletive] out of the ball lately...15 homers last week, and 10 this week to go with a .328 average.

He actually passed Crawford for the week. If Soriano takes the high week for the seaosn, I'll gladly give that up if it means 2 more Cub wins.

too bad he gave away his 5th at bat. soriano, hill, and fielder are beating my team by themselves.

seriously, stop insulting women in this forum.

[abuck1220]

that's insulting women?

Those 33 points from Jorge Sosa on your bench are music to my ears. He single-handedly outscored your entire active roster tonight. :D

aren't you implying women are weak? seems insulting to me. if I said, Drew had to sit again because he's an Adam, wouldn't that seem insulting?

[Guest]

ok, pedro feliz to catcher, randy winn to 3b and noah lowry to RF? I love double switches!

no, because i'd assume you were joking around...like i was.

So sexist jokes should be ok? What about racist ones? I'm only semi-serious here but I do think you should consider what stereotypes you are propagating with that kind of "humor." I'm guessing you wouldn't make a similar joke implying latinos are weak. How is it different with women?

No they're just "easier to control then African-Americans."

My bullpen is killing me. About +25 for the Tooters and -10 for Buddiga so far this week.

 

I need the Cubs to continue hitting and hammer Hudson tonight.

Wow. Both me and Alamo blew big chances to open up huge leads on each other. Stealth had 3 starts yesterday and 1 early today while I had none over that span. Beckett pitched a great game, but Lincecum (6.25) and Oliver Perez (-1.25) both pitched poorly. I had 4 starts today. Santana made one mistake, but I frankly expected more than 18 points at home vs. the Nats today. Marquis laid an egg, but thanks to his throwing error, I was spared by 4 of the 6 runs being unearned. And his -4.5 points could have easily had another 10 negative on that. Micah Owings is trying to salvage this week for me as we speak and I'm currently up 30, but he still has Sabathia tomorrow who put up 46.5 last time out.

 

Alamo has more pitching points than me right now and has a start in hand. He's had a balanced offense, with just 1 player under double digits. But Wright, Crawford, and Sheffield have been amazing this week for me.

[Chris]

The only solace I have in getting it handed to me is that it looks like 3 of the other top teams in the division are having trouble as well.

if i'm going to be cast as a misogynist for jokingly referring to a player by a girl's name or calling him a [expletive] (something i'm sure no one here has ever done), i can obviously refrain from it. i didn't know i had to be so PC here.

 

frankly, i think it's quite a reach to say that what i said was insulting to women. it's not like i said women were stupid or beating them was cool, but whatever. but please don't turn what i said into some BS slippery slope about how what i said was comparable to saying racist stuff. that's ridiculous.

 

sorry if anyone was offended.

Cordero had his first stinker of the year (-11.25 points after giving up 4 runs in 2/3 inning). Fortunately I think I have enough of a cushion to be able to absorb it.

[abuck1220]

teix to the DL, theriot to U.

[Guest]

Damn, Carl Crawford and Gary Sheffield are just killing me, raw! Down 20.5, gonna need another huge start from CC to pull this one off.

You and I might be the only west teams to win during this week of interleague play.
