Hopefully I can win this week as it would almost guarantee a playoff spot.

Grienke and Johnson have 2 starts each, unfort. Rodriguez is likely to miss a start. I need my offense to start hitting.

[expletive], i got some bad pitching draws this week...gonna be a tough one.

Meanwhile, NC should steamroll the Budcrew based on pitching matchups alone...

[abuck1220]

yeah, i need to survive this week. then i think i get nc cubs the week after with a chance to move into a tie for the last playoff spot.

Great.. 2 Greinke starts vs me. That doesn't bode well seeing as I had to pick up Kawakami just to get a 7th start this week.

Another case of my trash being someone else's treasure. :D

[tadowdaddy]

GREINKE!!!! Hopefully the decision to pick up and start Kawakami will not backfire on me!

It's now official that Webb will wind up the season with negative points. He underwent shoulder surgery today and is out for the year.

Yeah, at first I was worried that these guys would go over 2000. They're still just barely over 1000 now and I don't have to worry about Webb coming back now. I might be able to keep another points guy at this rate.

 

My current keeper list projects to be:

 

C- Geovany Soto

1b-

2b- Ian Stewart

SS- Alexei Ramirez

3b- Alex Gordon

OF- Jacoby Ellsbury

U-

 

SP- Johan Santana

SP- Roy Oswalt

SP- James Shields

SP- Brett Anderson

Teahen is now in my lineup at 3B because Zimmerman is out at least tonight with a sore shoulder and is listed as day-to-day.

[bukie]

Good week for both Bay and Cruz to be practically out the entire week. Bay did manage to come back for one game, injuring himself hitting a HR.

[NCCubFan]

The Red Sox DFA'd John Smoltz today. I'm sure Chuck and Adam both wish they'd done it one day earlier.

[NCCubFan]

Saunders and Smoltz have turned my matchup completely around. A couple of days ago I thought I was toast.

[abuck1220]

if i take care of my business the rest of the way, you will be anyway.

[NCCubFan]

It might come down to total points. If you win out and I win out except for our matchup we'd be tied in both head-to-head and division record, so total points would be the applicable tie-breaker. I was ahead of you at the end of last week, but you've surpassed me based on current points this week. It could wind up being very close.

[abuck1220]

i benefit from you and todd playing each other.

 

i wish chuck would have used seven starts this week instead of five. actually, i wish he would have used three and NOT used the two that combined for -45. he could have won with three starts this week...

[bukie]

Lowrie to DL, Cruz to bench (day to day), Garrett Jones to utility.

He didn't have 7 starts on his roster to use; he would have needed to pick up another pitcher (maybe even two) to get 7 starts. His pitchers were scheduled for 6 starts, but he lost one when Braden was scratched from his start.

[NCCubFan]

Unless Don's Yankees (Posada, Cano, and Rivera) combine for worse than -5.25 tonight he will have wrapped up the East. He will have clinched a tie (4 game lead with 4 weeks remaining) and be assured of winning a tie-breaker due to beating Todd twice.

[UK1679666180]

2nd highest point total this week and lost which makes up for the week against HBC. I gained some points overall though and the bulk of my difficult schedule is now gone.

[NCCubFan]

Same thing's happened to me recently. Two weeks ago I had the third highest score but lost by more than 140 because Don's team had a ridiculously unreal week. This week I have the 10th highest score but win. I had that one coming.

[abuck1220]

yeah, with all the bad luck you've had this year, you were bound to catch a break.
