[expletive]'s getting serious.

A couple of big games out West:

 

NSBB at Alamo and Fuzzy at Eyes of Texas.

In the East, the revamped NC Cubs try to play spoiler against the Galesburg Hand Sanitizers and end a 6-game losing streak (which, surprisingly, isn't the longest losing streak in the league).

If I win I am right back in the playoff race. If I lose I am out, and I have plenty of pieces I could sell high. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, and I have already exceeded expectations too.

The bad news is that the trade deadline ends before this week is over.

 

And I owe you big time for the ass whoopin' you put on me earlier in the year.

 

I see that both of our pitching staffs have excellent match ups this week, so it should be really interesting and potentially high scoring.

 

Good luck.

After my trade, moved Beltran into OF and Beckett into SP.

I think abuck and I both wish Liriano would have started tomorrow instead of today. I have him in another league, but that's a strict weekly change league (no exceptions like we have), so I was unable to activate him for today's game. Had he waited one day he would have been a two-start pitcher next week.

 

Nonetheless it looks like he's back.

I'm going to need a career game from Michael Young now.

 

I hate Andy Pettitte.

I posted this on the game chat, but I'll post it here as well.

 

Snell's start should be the start that counts and Olsen's should be removed according to CBSsportslines.com.

Florida start time: 3:11PM

Cubs start time: 2:49PM

 

Which makes Olsen the odd man out, not Snell.

like i said in the scoring thing, those are the lengths of the game. the florida game started before the cubs game.

just saw the white sox/royals highlights...if greinke hadn't hit a guy and been ejected, HBC probably would have won this week.

 

as it stands, HBC and draconian empire will be tied one game out of the playoffs. myself and HBC both have grueling schedules the rest of the way (HBC facing the top four teams in the division...which i guess gives him a chance to control his own destiny), while DE faces three teams out of contention.

 

my team hit a ridiculous .370 for the week with 17 hr, 51 rbi, and 47 runs scored. five hitters over 27 points and three over 39. if sherrill would have had even an average week for him, i would have hit 400.

10 minutes before. That sucks!
