I spent a few hours today debating on whether to drop Colvin or Pena, and then I hear about Sandoval's pending surgery. Damn!

Drop Pena.

Add Braun.

Hate life.

[NCCubFan]

Don't: Drop Pena, even though he sucks, because I've already had to use both of my first half transactions due to injuries.

Do: Curse myself for having misplaced faith in Pena.

[Southpaw191679666239]

These slow starts are really annoying. START HITTING HOME RUNS! :rant:

[Derwood]

Man, I'm falling fast.

[TruffleShuffle]

boy i'd be doing really well if i hadn't picked [expletive] dan johnson as my wild card

[Sammy Sofa]

If you had told me that after more than one month of baseball that Pena, Aramis, Dunn, A-Gon and Carl Crawford would only have 5 home runs between them I would have punched you in your lying mouth. What the [expletive].

[UK1679666180]

Look at the old ESPN clique at the top.

[Derwood]

looks like my WC is up to 3 HR. could be worse.

[evv98]

I have been hesitant to use my transactions for anything less than an injury, but I was nearly to the point of giving up on Pena. Now I am glad I didn't. I think he will get HR crazy for a bit. In 20 games from now, I am calling he will be at 8 or 9 on the season.

I think on May 11, 2001 at 12:05 a.m., I can officially pronounce my campaign in the HR Derby as dead. I've already used my two transactions, and now my "youth movement" is dropping like flies. Sandoval out, Ike Davis scheduled for an MRI, as is Jason Heyward. Tyler Colvin isn't getting playing time, and Dunn and Pena blow chunks thus far.

 

Wow. Dead and buried before the actual Cubs are. Who knew? :banghead:
