playoffs!

[abuck1220]

luis gonzalez has played in something like 135 of the dbacks last 139 games...now he sits two games in a row...what gives?

[abuck1220]

another friggin save for dempster...i swear, the cubs only win when it hurts my fantasy team.

[Tim]

Bonderman is missing his start, so I replaced him with a rookie pitcher facing the Cubs.

 

If that's not a quality start in the making, I'm not sure what is...

[MembersOnlyJacket]

Sheffield is out again tonight in this big weekend series. It was close as the Yankees waited until 15 minutes prior to the game to submit the lineup. For Team Buddiga's sake, I hope he's back tomorrow as the outfield is falling apart.

I wouldn't fret.. for whomever plays me next week is in good shape. I looked at the beginning of the week, and thought I'd be getting at least 7 starts next week, but somehow now, they all friggin fall on sunday.. Oh..for a rainout! :)

You were right about Cy Cain. :(

three pitches, three outs after the hairston single. i think he stayed under 100 pitches. the cubs suck.

[abuck1220]

vargas is getting shelled and dempster seems to get about four saves a day. i'm starting to think this may be the end for the sanitizers...

[Tim]

Don't look now, but Budcrew's ticked that they didn't get the playoffs and now are trying to beat NSBB.

 

I know it's a bye week for NSBB and wouldn't affect Tim's playoffs, but that would be my vindication for not making the playoffs.

I'll be around 20 points up heading into the final day, but you'll have a 3-0 starter advantage on me. It will all come down to how well those guys pitch for you.

does it matter?

[NCCubFan]

Thanks to strong starts from Lopez, Schilling, and Sosa, I now have a lead in my totally meaningless, counts for nothing, non-playoff match. :D

you have a 3 start advantage here on the final day down 22 points. if you get a QS from at least one of your guys, i think you'll win. Sheffield and Griffey's absence have killed this team...

three start advantage? don't i only have a ONE start edge? johnson and el duque v. vazquez.

 

and thank you, alan trammel, for taking johnson out after 5 innings and 68 pitches against the royals. that was the start i was needing 15 points out of. that's a big break for you... :evil:

 

i'd be feeling a little better about things if shelton's good game wasn't being somewhat negated by monroe. i need vazquez to have a 1/3 ip, 6 h, 7 er start today in coors...

[abuck1220]

what the....?

 

i just checked the scoreboard and rogers is starting today?? and vazquez isn't??

You also have Kenny Rogers going today against the A's. The D'Backs have decided to go with a 6-man rotation, and are holding Vasquez out until tomorrow. That'll help if I advance, but it does me no good as they apparently send R. Ortiz to the mound today.

 

Oh, and Ortiz is out of the lineup against Unit today in the Sox-Yankees showdown.

wow, that's quite the turn of events. rogers is going on his normal rest, but they had an off day during the week, so i figured he wouldn't go til tomorrow. looks like the rangers skipped somebody while the dbacks added somebody. rogers sucks lately, but hopefully he can give me something.

 

yeah, if i win the griffey and sheff injuries will be a major reason. and if you win the sheets injury and my bullpen's struggles will be a major reason.

 

should be an exciting finish then. kent takes a lot of sundays off, so hopefully he can get that moustache groomed and get his ass on the field.

[expletive], overbay's not playing today against oswalt.

[Guest]

Come on Adam! If you win, you can possibly get one more start than I will next week. If Buddiga wins, he'll get 10 friggin starts next week.

[abuck1220]

yeah, you gotta be excited about getting two start weeks from prior and oswalt when it means nothing.

didn't think so...i was wondering why everybody was making roster changes and stuff.

 

great start for el duque -- three first inning homers.

not to mention an obscene week from andruw jones.

 

[expletive], now farnsworth is going to get a save.

[abuck1220]

by the way, farns has a 1.06 era in 17 appearances with the braves. great trade, jim.

 

and el duque's out after two innings. nice start, [expletive].

[abuck1220]

what a barn burner we have going here.

 

i'm up 15, but my pitchers gave up 32 total bases (by my count). so the +7 from rogers QS will be negated and then some by that. plus, el duque's gonna get a loss here soon.

 

i've got two ab's from tejada, three (?) from kent and one from burnitz left.

 

you've got at least four from stewart tonight. the key is whether or not dempster can get his 16th save of the week today.

it's going to come down to Stewart's last ab, hopefully 2. he is 1-3, 2 k tonight for 0.5 pts. The score is 260-252. I think your total is around 257-258 for the week, so unless Stewart hits a HR or the equivalent thereof, Buddiga will lose.

 

it would be brutal to lose a potential 10 start week. special thanks to the D-Backs organization for [expletive] Team Buddiga.

and it looks like stewart has been taken out of the game.

 

i gotta say, i've had some bad luck this season (2nd highest point total in the league, but needing a tie breaker to get in + having the 2nd highest point allowed in the league), but my luck has been nothing but remarkably good against you.

 

in a regular season game, ayala had come in and pitched a scoreless inning in the sunday night game, cementing a victory for you. but then he went back out for a second inning and fell apart, and i ended up winning by a very small margin.

 

then, this week, you lose sheff and griffey (two of your huge bats), and then ortiz and biggio take sunday off. now, you did get a ridiculous five save week out of dempster, but still i'd have to say i had the advantage luck-wise. PLUS, two teams screw with their rotation...giving me an extra start and taking one away from you. then your last hope is taken out after five innings in a blowout loss.

 

and i'm obviously not trying to rub it in by typing it all out like that...i'm just trying to say i feel your pain, and i know i was very, very fortunate to win this week...assuming my math is right and i really am on top...
