i don't remember how we've done it in the past, but 14 starts makes more sense than 7 per week.
-
thanks. my offense has been a complete disaster this week.
-
rollins is hurt, so i picked up janish. janish had been playing while o cabrera was hurt. now o cabrera is not hurt. can i drop janish and pick up a different ss or am i stuck with janish or hoping that rollins plays tomorrow (doubtful)?
-
kick the FG. terrible call by o'kelly.
-
nice showing, iowa state. holy [expletive].
-
omg grudge much? ben sheets [expletive] sucked this year anyway. also, i agree that he should be able to DL morrow.
-
right. and there's a rule that says you're allowed to do this. you sure are. you are replacing an injured player with someone from your bench. again, this is not what he would be doing. just put morrow on the DL. problem solved. If I didn't have Ian Stewart and I saw a better 2b free agent than OF, I could still make that same move and it would be okay. Injuries allow replacements, provided those replacements are within reason. I don't see his replacement requests as being unreasonable. agreed. he is not replacing an injured player with a FA/reserve. he would be replacing an injured pitcher with a FA pitcher AND making a mid-week change to his offensive lineup. what does inserting ian kinsler at 2b have to do with replacing an injured PITCHER? we just need to allow all mid-week roster moves next year because apparently the current system is too hard to keep track of.

I don't see a problem with allowing that change. I'm sure he'd prefer to just start Brandon Morrow if he could. Unfortunately, Morrow has become done for the season. Now he has to patrol the scrap heap and he'd rather remove a starting player rather than losing one of his reserves. I don't see a problem with this at all. lineups are due on monday. kinsler was not in his lineup on monday. he can't insert kinsler into his lineup mid-week. these are the rules that we have had for 75 years. if he wants to drop jose lopez or whatever and go with no 2b for the rest of the week so he doesn't go over the roster limit, maybe that's fine. but kinsler cannot be inserted into his lineup mid-week. we've been over this a bajillion times.
-
i'm still kind of confused on this. i guess moving morrow in the IR (even though it doesn't look like he's hurt or on the DL) is one way of doing it. what i don't think is legal is any type of adding/dropping/whatever involving pitchers where the end result is ian kinsler/colby rasmus in his active lineup. kinsler/rasmus started the week on his bench and should stay there.
-
he can drop whoever he wants, but he cannot, say, drop josh bell and replace him in the lineup with kinsler, who started the week on the bench.
-
you cannot insert rasmus or kinsler into your lineup since they weren't there on monday.
-
if a cub was benched for two games every time he had a lapse of some sort, they wouldn't be able to field a team on some days.
-
no. he can probably run that far in a few seconds though. i don't even know why you rush him. just rush two guys and watch him throw it into the ground a few times.
-
you guys really think taylor has the ability to drive them down in a minute?
-
good sign for ND that they were able to win against a team they were about even with talent-wise. chip kelly looks like a good hire.
-
lol mississippi could have destroyed whatever d2 school they were playing, but they didn't because they wanted to be nice. i mean, sure in the end, the LOST, but i mean they could have won by like a million if they wanted to.

seriously though, when are sex robots going to be available? you've got to think the technology is close. -
seriously, who cares about the NTC? first of all, at 3/$36, he can friggin have a NTC. secondly, have these NTC's that hendry apparently hands out left and right really ever hurt the cubs? i mean, regardless of whether soriano has a NTC, nobody wants to trade for him anyway, so big deal.
-
if you guys both lose and i win, i would win the division. i'm 1-1 against both of you and would have a better division record. doesn't matter though because that scenario isn't going to happen. i think i want RWD to win so i can get another rematch with rodelo, who is getting his two start week from halladay out of the way this week. and it looks like RWD would be getting two start weeks from wandy and kershaw next week. ps - really stupid that division record is a tiebreaker before total points. total points should be the first tiebreaker. i guess i can live with h2h being ahead of points, but division record is dumb.
-
wow, outscored my opponent 80.25 to -10.75 today and lose by 9. my offense didn't even do [expletive] today. had i not used ANY starts until my 2 from today, i would have won. i'd like to get another shot at rodelo...
-
where are you finding those rules?
-
dickey and wood (lol dickey and wood) each made their first ever starts for the hand sanitizers last night...and each gave up a season high in runs. naturally.
-
i'm torn. i'd rather have gonzalez/fielder, but it sure would suck to watch a year of eric hinske or some BS at 1b and then miss out on both those guys.
-
playoff teams are close to being set. looks like HBC could catch the dealers with two wins and two dealer losses. otherwise are all the teams set? 3 way tie for first in the east. kid rodelo and the hand sanitizers face off this week.
