FINALLY Z!!!!!! I'm in a tough one w/ Buddiga. I needed a good start from Z, I hope he keeps it up.

Okay, we get it, you're pissed he walked in the winning run. Fine. But what does the fact that they had a lead earlier in the game matter? Do you really think it's better to do that when you spent the first 8 innings leapfrogging each other with 1-run leads? Or if your team came back from a 4-0 deficit? The point is the bullpen is going to surrender runs. It happens. They are your less reliable pitchers, by definition. That is why they are in the bullpen. They aren't going to win you games. And they aren't going to determine your season. If you need your bullpen to go 3 scoreless in order to win games, you are going to lose a lot of games. My issue with last nights game is not that the Cubs lost via the bullpen, but that it was a walk that scored the run. Make Delgado put the ball in play. I don't think throwing a strike is too much to ask for MLB level pitcher, do you? I would have rather seen Delgado hit a GS in that position, rather then get a walk.

I don't see any big concerns of injury when it comes to Pie!

LOL! Actually the Cubs are -115 and the Mets are -105.

Isn't putting the best 40 men on the roster what Shuerholz is suppose to do? This is an irritating story! It's not like the Braves, or any other MLB club tries to only sign white players and no minorities. There would obviously be an issue with that. There is a large percentage of "Minorities" in the game, but if their not "African-American" that's a problem?

I'd like to make my first change. Take out Dye and add P. Fielder.

Or trade him. I would think he'd be easier to get value for then Jones. Package him to Toronto for Rios.

It could have been worse. Washburn could have pitched the 9th and got a complete game and shutout (he didn't get credit for a shutout in Roadkill because he didn't finish the game) and Webb could have pitched a shutout (the only run he gave up ame on the second out in the 9th). So I nearly had two complete game shutouts. Two of our pitchers (Rodriguez and Davis) go head to head against each other tonight. Your one hope is that you need to pray for something like a 15-0 Astros win. You also need to hope for Reyes to stink, but that's certainly within the realm of possibility; he's done that a few times. So I'd say things look bleak, but not completely hopeless, for you. Yeah, I saw that on Washburn. I had the game well in hand until Z and Harang pitched. I think they scored a total of 12 pts for those two starts. I've also been plaqued with non-DL injuries this week at 1B and 2B. Giles and Giambi have combined for 5.25 pts this week counting tonights games thus far. And Giles may not play on Sunday! I may actually need a no-no from Wandy to win. Or I'd take an emaculate-Washburn from him too. Maybe a Astros will pitch a no-no and score 15 runs with Berkman accounting for all 15 RBI. Now that would be sweet. I might win then. On the other hand, if I win 5 out of every 6 the rest of the way I'll be pretty happy.

Yeah, My 2 starts from Harang and Z did me in. And F'in Washburn decides he's going to shut-out the YANKEES. Giambi's apparently so much of a gimp that he can't even DH. I need someone to come up HUGE tomorrow. Maybe Wandy pitches a no-no!

Does it have to be an authentic? Or would a replica jersey be okay? I have both w/ no numbers. You can buy the lettering kit for about $20 on eBay.

Vernon Wells a new 7 year deal w/ Toronto before the season started. I don't think they'll trade him. I wouldn't mind Rios. The OF is already crowded though, so I'm not sure that he would be the ideal fit.

Toronto needs relievers in a bad way! Although, they could just write-off the season due to injuries I have to wonder if they'll look to make a minor deal for an arm. Any thoughts?

Nice swing!

Because Lou doesn't play Pie. yeah, I don't understand that either. Oh well, gives me a chance to take some Pie games in anyway.

BTW, why is Pagan up? I know he was decent today, but isn't that overkill in the OF? Why not just play Pie?

two plays today - ball bounced past him in the first too. his baserunning has been poor and his plate approach has gone to hell. I hate watching this team. Yeah, I've was really looking forward to watching Murton progress this year. I haven't seen it.

Trade him. He's clearly hurting your chances to win it all. Waiting for a trade offer. He's like this every year! He'll win me some games as the year goes on!

I see Z hasn't put it together yet..................... UGH!

Schierholtz and Dewitt are available!

I did an image search and believe it or not, found an old picture of Babe Ruth wearing a Dishman's Dishmans cap. I need to get that posted ASAP. Back on topic, I bet Longoria is officially unavailable, huh? Yeah probably!

ManRam is expected to arrive in time for the start of tomorrows game where his new team HBC are taking on NC Cubbies! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

50 pt start by Marquis for Raw. What a game! If he continues to pitch like he has, he may end up being a bargain. I didn't think I'd ever say that.

WTF!!!! I lose quite a bit in TBA my lead isn't exactly what I thought it was going to be. Still out in front and even on starts. This one will be close if it continues to go like this.

I'm back up vs NC by 9 pts and Glavine hasn't thrown a pitch yet! I like the looks of that.

I knew I'd start out behind w/ your starters coming first. I thought my hitters did pretty well today. Hopefully, I'll have solid pitching this week. I have 2 more starts then you the rest of the week and after overnight adjustments you're up 55.05 to 20.5. Not as bad as I thought it might be.
