8/21, 2 2b, 3 hr, 9 rbi Who will they move Youkilis to ?

My comment was intended to be at those bickering that your roster mistake was a big deal. It's not. Simple mistake. We've all made them and we know your integrity. It's fantasy baseball and, like golf, a lot of how it's played should be on an honor code and self-controlled. A private message is better form for handling these kid of simple mistakes.

+1 This is fantasy baseball, not a [expletive] peace treaty negotiation.

we're all very proud of you. I don't know why, but I thought of this...

Turn the calendar over to May. Interesting factoid; through 4 weeks, the top two teams in each division lead in total points and have given up the fewest. Meanwhile, the bottom two teams in each division have scored the fewest and given up the most. Usually, that symmetry doesn't happen, so we'll see how it plays out over the season.

Back in my day... In 1962, 3001 HR were hit, 20 teams played baseball, and they played 154 games each. In 2011, 4568 HR were hit, 30 teams played baseball, and they played 162 games each. You do the math, Prof. McCarver.

how many steals..thought Kemp projected 50HR/50Steals Dude walked off again tonight. Stole his 2nd base (apparently he's only occupied 1st base 6 times with 2nd base empty). Amazing what happens to these guys when they get out of Rihanna's spell. .442/11/24/22 on the season.

I know Harper is the second coming, but I'm still trying to figure out why the Nats thought he should start the year at AAA...his AA numbers were middle of the road... I bet there is a ByeByeBryce on a Nats board...

Understand. Hope you'll reconsider or can squeeze in the time to continue.

The Boston Globe: OK.
-
In other news; Matt Kemp's projection: .449 ba /91 hr /222 rbi /177 runs
-
Barring any missed fielding errors, the Dealers will take a 328-327.25 win. Crazy.
-
Sergio Santos to the DL. I picked up Santiago Casila as my 2nd RP.

Fernando Romney getting the expanded veteran strike zone. Brutal... http://www.barstoolsports.com/boston/super-page/somebody-was-in-a-rush-to-catch-the-end-of-the-marathon/

Bobby is surprised that back-handed swipes at a beloved Red Sox player gained so much attention in the baseball-obsessed Boston media market ? Just wait until the Bruins and Celtics playoff seasons finish...
-
It is week 3. I am glad I remembered to start Bard with the early Patriots' Day Monday game. The conversion looks promising...

10 games in, and another drama. Going after Youk ? Is there a tougher player in the game who does more with less talent ? http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2012/04/valentine_youki.html "Maybe that stuff works in Japan, but that's not how we do things here" - Dustin Pedroia

I bought it up until 2 years ago. In reality, the MLB app is enough. I get 70 Cubs games on WGN. That's enough as I'll be lucky to have time to watch (suffer through) 20 games.
-
Trade Marmol.
-
Matt Kemp: .447, 5 hr, 15 rbi, 12 runs Currently on pace to cost me 1000 points to keep him. Wonder what Rihanna thinks about that...

Post the first Cubs game you attended
MembersOnlyJacket replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I attended my first game on my birthday. We were visiting family living in Urbana at the time for the 4th weekend. Then, drove up to Chicago in part to go to Wrigley Field and see a game. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1992/B07060CHN1992.htm -
I thought about that recently, but I actually think this system is really solid. We award pitching, not wins or losses. Pitchers have one goal; get 27 outs. While the individual numbers of a great pitcher will be higher than a great hitter (say Kershaw over Kemp), we have 9 hitters and 5 starters. So, when you build a team, you can try to lean heavily on 500+ point batters and sacrifice on pitching, or focus on getting 3 or 4 great pitchers. At the end, the totals for hitters and pitchers are roughly equivalent when you combine the numbers. With that said, nothing swings a week like a 2 start masterpiece by an ace.

Cubs you haven't seen hit a homer.
MembersOnlyJacket replied to Fast Freddie Bynum's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I fondly remember 1 or 2 of Doug Dascenzo's blasts...there may have only been 5. -
Joe Mather wasn't available ? !

I think I still prefer the old way, but I see the merit of swapping pitchers daily to get 7 starts so we don't have all the argument over pitchers as we had last year. I like fantasy baseball when it requires planning. But, just like MLB, some managers plan their lineups 1-2 series in advance like Tito Francona while Valentine doesn't let players know if they are playing until they show up. Personal preference. If I managed an MLB team, I'd have 2-3 series mapped out. And I don't have the luxury to plan my morning around fantasy baseball. Even if I did, I'd wait until later in the day to see who's going to sit or not.
