brandon inge is murdering me.

 

I'm 646. Inge is killing me and then I have a bunch of guys who are right around 5-10. So I have a team full of mediocre to bad players but no awful players.

[NCCubFan]

I'm down to #391, with 76 points (going in the wrong direction; I had 90 just a couple of weeks ago). Two players (Kendall and Ellis) account for nearly 2/3 of my total.

[ISUCubsFan]

176th now with 109 points. I was in the top 30 for a while, but Michael Bourn of all people is giving me negative points now. My pitching duo of Eaton (24) and Silva (25 + tonight's awesome performance) is keeping me from falling back further. I don't think anyone has completely lost their job yet either.

[rocket]

382nd place, I'm not doing very well.

 

somehow livan hernandez is having a good season, it's killing my team.

[NCCubFan]

Back up to #284 with 181 points. All of my players have positive points except for Zito.

[Clem Fandango]

627th!

 

Nick Hundley 13

Casey Kotchman 11

Freddy Sanchez -6 (he's gettin' there)

Brandon Inge -17 (he's also starting to fall back to earth)

Marco Scutaro -14 (flukey douche bag)

Felix Pie 21 :(

Michale Bourn 7

Jeff Francouer 42 hahaha

Kris Benson 30

Daniel Cabrera 18

 

Flukey starts by Inge and Scutaro are ruining me. That and picking Hundley over Kendall was a mistake

[TruffleShuffle]

81st place...

 

Jason Kendall 41 -- kind of a gimme

Travis Ishikawa 15 -- good for a 1B, unless you had the remarkable foresight to select david ortiz

Alexi Casilla 40 -- surprised more people didn't pick him, but i guess he's kind of obscure

Andy Laroche 5 -- was betting on him not figuring it out this year; looks like i was wrong

Cesar Izturis 29 -- he's fine

Wladimir Balentien 18 -- he has been awful, but unfortunately he was also hurt

Willy Taveras 37 -- what a horrible signing

Austin Kearns 14 -- bad, but francoeur was a popular choice who has cleaned up for his owners

Ian Snell 22 -- peripherals suck, whip sucks, he sucks

Daniel Cabrera 18 -- pitched so badly he got DFA'ed... that hurts.

[NCCubFan]

I'm now up to #137 with 262 points. All of my stiffs have positive points and 7 of my 10 stiffs have at least 20, led by Willy Taveras (62, tied for 6th "best" in baseball), Jason Kendall (52), and Bill Hall (39). Wang is still atop the leaderboard, now tied with Jimmy Rollins, at 70.

Christ. I didn't realize how poorly Jimmy Rollins was playing right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

apparently i was too good at picking which pitchers would suck ass, since both of my picks (snell, danny cabrera) have been farmed out.

Jason fuckin Bartlett

[ISUCubsFan]

Ever since my pitchers were injured (Silva) or released (Eaton), I've been losing points. The crappiness of Emmanuel Burriss hasn't been enough to overcome Ichiro and Morales. Down around 500th place.

That's the trick, finding players who will suck but not bad enough to be benched, released, or sent down.

[TruffleShuffle]

19th out of 822! danny cabrera is my worst performer; unfortunately he sucked so badly that he was farmed out by the friggin nationals.

 

willy taveres has been an absolute beast... thank you dusty.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm in 14th place - my team is named "Managed by Dusty." the team one spot ahead of me is named "Dusty Baker Loves this Team"

[NCCubFan]

I'm down to #292, despite having the #1 (Taveras) and #3 (Kendall) players on my team. Butler and especially Zito are the death of me.

[CubbieBum]

512th. All my players have positive points for me but I don't have any of the top players.

[ISUCubsFan]

I'm pretty sure I've gone backwards in net points since mid-May. 732nd.

[rocket]

hot damn i'm in 50th place! Chone is my worst contributor with 11 ESPN. But everyone else is very horrible.

[TruffleShuffle]

i wish my starting pitchers hadn't been so horrendous that they got farmed out by the worst team in baseball (danny cabrera) and outpitched their peripherals while being lucky on fly balls and getting shipped to a pitcher-friendly park (ian snell). still an outside shot at top 10, i guess.

[Clem Fandango]

I'm 652nd... ouch... but at least all my players are positive... and some have gotten REALLY bad...
