Playoffs- Week 1

[tadowdaddy]

Well crap..

 

Only up about 60 points with a 2 start disadvantage. I hate my pitching matchups this week. I hope at least one more of adam's pitchers tanks. I'm not confident in the lead I have now. At least Volstad got positive points... blah. On the other hand, at least some of his players are sitting and thank God for Hanley Ramirez!

[abuck1220]

yeah, you should be ecstatic with the points you got out of volstad. he had an ugly ass line.

[abuck1220]

ugh...[expletive] you rocky cherry.

Bloody Pedroia with bloody 30 points on bloody wednesday.

[cbbryan]

I'm skunking TBA by 106............ WOOT WOOT!

[BigbadB]

I'm skunking TBA by 106............ WOOT WOOT!

 

Looking over the live scoring page, TBA should be contracted.

[Guest]

Dustin Pedroia is playing out of his head. Holy crap. 30 pts in 3 games!

[tadowdaddy]

ugh...**** you rocky cherry.

 

 

You lucked out and boston scored in the bottom of the 9th to win it.

[NCCubFan]

TBA should be made a full league member next year. I like my chances against TBA. :D

Alright, I've got a six point lead at this point with the following starts remaining:

 

Tim:

 

Lackey @ White Sox (sat)

Verlander @ Minnesota (sat)

Parra vs San Diego (sun)

Santana vs Philadelphia (sun)

 

Navin:

 

Litsch vs Minnesota (th)

Pettitte @ Seattle (fr)

Sabathia vs San Diego (fr)

Meche vs Cleveland (sat)

Maholm @ SF (sat)

 

His offense has only Encarnacion and Bill Hall playing on Th. My offense has ARod, McCann + (if his broke ass can play) Guillen on Th. Roberts gets an inexplicable day off on Sunday for me.

 

I've got to give the edge to Navin at this point, but it will likely come down to whose starters crap the bed or who gets a great start or two worth 30-40 points.

[abuck1220]

i give the edge to the team that isn't starting verlander.

[Guest]

Heh, and here I think you have the edge. I like your remaining pitchers the rest of the way.

 

I have been relying on 30 from Lincecum and nearly 50 from CC in each start down the stretch (thanks to Yost's CG fetish)...Lincecum's 0 point start really hurts me with the patchwork rotation I have the rest of this week. I suspect I'll need one of those surprising 30-40 pt starts that you were speaking of to pull off the win.

 

Pedroia has bailed me out big time...he needs 8 points the rest of the week for his week high for the season. I'll need someone to pick up the slack when he stops OPSing 1.900 the rest of the week. It hurts seeing Drew and C Lee on the DL.

HOWARD!!!

[abuck1220]

joe nathan has completely gone in the [expletive] [expletive] the last two weeks. the bullpens are killing me right now.

[Guest]

Not only did the Cubs throw up a horrible game against Randy Wolf today, I cut Randy Wolf about 3 days ago and picked up Litsch just to ensure I wouldn't have to throw Wolf in the playoffs.

:roll:

 

And ARod now has more points than Pedroia. Unreal week these two have had. Sadly, ARod's is more likely sustainable.

[rawaction]

Great time for my team to have the high score for the week. Though, I think I've had high score on the past 3 Thursday mornings, only to not finish in the top 3 any time.

[tadowdaddy]

Up about 45 pts, and only a 1 start disadvantage. Could be a close week. We each have 4 bats and 1 starter today. However, tomorrow GHS has 3 starts to my one. I'll have a 1 start advantage going into the weekend. Hope I'm even at that point, and I'll feel safe.

[abuck1220]

[expletive] you, yankees.

 

five [expletive] walks for kazmir through five with no runs allowed...damn it.

[abuck1220]

[expletive] days off for abreu and doumit. my guys are going to be well-rested for the next round of playoffs, which almost certainly won't happen.

[Guest]

Jesse Litsch. :shock:

 

That really takes the sting off waving Randy Wolf.

[tadowdaddy]

Up 70 with a 1 start disadvantage the rest of the way. Barring any -20 or so starts, I look to be in decent shape.

[tadowdaddy]

---SOAPDROPPING--- days off for abreu and doumit. my guys are going to be well-rested for the next round of playoffs, which almost certainly won't happen.

 

Is abreu going to play the rest of the week?

[tadowdaddy]

The shitty thing is, if I get to the division finals, I won't have any of my studs with 2 starts. That means a bullcrap piecemeal week. Although, if I can pull it off (doubtful) I'll have Halladay and Kazmir for 2 each during the finals.

[abuck1220]

That means a bullcrap piecemeal week.

 

yeah, i know what that's all about it.

[Guest]

Jesse Litsch. :shock:

 

That really takes the sting off waving Randy Wolf.

I really, really, really hate that something like that will likely decide the matchup.

 

Oh well.
