  1. yeah, i'm pulling for a rainout now. jeez.
  2. Thanks, Jim Yes because the bench was so much better in this situation last year? If this happen last year we would have had DeRosa at 3rd, Fontenot at 2b, Reed in CF and Fukudome in RF. With say Edmonds and Ramirez out of the line-up. With the bench being Cedeno and Ward. Today Miles at 2b, Fontenot at 3rd, Johnson in CF and Fukudome in RF. With the bench being Gathright and Hoffpauir. The difference is a back up infielder instead of a back up outfielder. Sure Miles in the everyday line-up over Fontenot is weaker, but Hoffpauir on the bench over Ward or Cedeno is actually stronger. So if there is a difference today it's that we have a back up poor hitting outfielder then poor hitting back up infielder. i agree. because the bench was so bad last year i'm willing to give hendry a pass on building such a bad bench this year. in fact, i'll go so far as to say good job, hendry. ?
  3. when i kill myself will you guys spread my ashes on the wrigley field infield?
  4. yeah, my matchups suck. it'd be nice if jimmy rollins would quit being shitty at baseball.
  5. a quick check of the fort wayne post gazette shows there are seven scheduled today alone. try and keep up.
  6. i know. i called in sick to work this morning just to get my thoughts in order over this whole ordeal.
  7. pretty big win for me early in the season. raw is always among my competition for a playoff spot, so to get a h2h win under my belt this early is kinda nice.
  8. wow, it looked like i was done for, but then balfour comes in an 11-0 game and doesn't get a single guy out (-14.5) and jenks gets a save despite the white sox starting the 9th up 6-1. i'm up by enough where i don't even need dempster to pitch like crap tonight to win.
  9. well, cole hamels just made this a game again.
  10. i have like half your team in another league, so this is all very conflicting.
  11. wtf, a near no-hitter by carpenter and 4 hrs in 18 ab's for raw and my decent lead is now gone.
  12. literally no one has said that.
  13. I dunno, how often should you expect a random sampling of 750 healthy, in shape 20-40 year olds to die during a 6 month period? 750 healthy, financially well off 20-40 year olds in America, nonetheless. i don't think a person's financial status or arm strength would save them in a car crash.
  14. i'm kinda surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often...a player dying during the season, that is.
  15. juan, any way uehara can be made a SP by tomorrow? i have no idea why he's listed as a reliever. i'm assuming i can just stick him in there as a RP for his start tomorrow if needed?
  16. Heilman is 1.33 career and 1.59 last year, and people insist that he's got great stuff. Clement's WHIP was always high despite great "stuff". I don't think a high WHIP corrrelates to lesser stuff. at least those guys were posting those whips in the big leagues.
  17. no free preview on directv??? lame.
  18. i haven't seen a whole lot of patton, but i find it hard to believe that a guy who posted whips of 1.38 and 1.58 the last two seasons as a 24/25 year old in high A has better "stuff" than gaudin.
  19. miles' $ + gaudin's $ = derosa's $. fontenot better be good.
  20. weird...didn't know baker was having shoulder problems.
  21. little early to start playing the woe is me card, isn't it? Why would it be too early when I'm going to start the year with ARod + Lackey on the shelf? boo hoo arod's out for like a month or something.
  22. little early to start playing the woe is me card, isn't it?
  23. another league i was in with some friends fell apart, but the three of us still wanted to do a league...so we did a three team league at espn. the 37 round draft took like 45 minutes. check out this squad... c mccann c soto 1b berkman 1b fielder 2b pedroia 2b kinsler ss rollins ss drew 3b wright 3b youkilis MI jose lopez CI votto of sizemore of holliday of bay of soriano of quentin of granderson dh vlad U abreu U rios B hawpe B wells sp johan sp halladay sp hamels sp haren sp beckett sp lester sp wainwright sp nolasco sp lowe sp harden sp joba rp papelbon rp lidge rp rivera don't know if this will be fun or really lame.
