Week 11

[NCCubFan]

I lead by 2.5 (first time all week I've been ahead, I believe) and we each have two pitching starts remaining. This match is going right down to the wire. If I pull it out I owe a big debt of gratitude to Livan Hernandez for his -20.25-point performance earlier this week. I have four possible starts tomorrow (with Reyes coming back up and starting). I'm going with El Duque and Webb and sitting Reyes and Washburn; hopefully I made the right choices.

That doesn't seem like that hard of a choice!

Jinxer.

 

Yeah! And we didn't even get a Cub win! I'll keep my mouth shut next time!

Based on their usual production, no; however, on a given day Webb and Hernandez can suck, and El Duque is pitching against the resurgent Yankees.

holy [expletive] [expletive], i think it's safe to say that gonzales and cameron have hill's number.

holy [expletive] ****, i think it's safe to say that gonzales and cameron have hill's number.

 

I think we should hit both of them next time up! :lol:

[NCCubFan]

Surprisingly easy win for me after being nearly tied with the same number of remaining starts a day ago. We both had one positive and one negative pitching start, but my positive start was larger and Tooterstorms' negative start was larger. And I got a significant amount of help from the Cubs today when they threw batting practice to Gonzalez.

 

And it's a milestone win for me, as I have now surpassed my previous high win total for an entire season (4 in 2005, 6 last year). My next goal is to win more this year than my two previous years combined (that shouldn't be very hard).

I'm almost back in the playoffs at this point...but I lost my head to head matchup with Quakers, which I believe would be the first tiebreaker. If we go based on points because of the three way tie, then I'd be in as of today.

[Quakers]

I am 6-5 also, but my last two wins were against teams with losing records. At least Mauer seems to be healthy again. I really need Kendrick to come alive too.

[BigbadB]

Yeah, I never overcame a horrendous start by Paul Byrd. I do have favorable match ups this week and next, and my pitchers are scheduled against some really weak hitting teams this week and double starts for my best pitchers next week, but you just never know what's going to happen on a given week.
