oh, and congrats.
-
i dunno, eight hours of uninterrupted sleep feels pretty good.
-
the real travesty, however, is that now OMC is going to start rambling about john lennon and pearl harbor.
-
omg 9/11. wrigley23 was right.
-
dick move, roast. dick move.
-
whitlock also said that michael jackson did as much to bring the races together as martin luther king. so take anything he says with a grain of retard.

who cares. if you use fox in the 7th as a pinch-hitter there's a decent chance the cubs are losing anyway. so they have to use fontenot as the catcher and they lose by four runs instead of three. big deal. i've never understood why everyone is so terrified of using a backup catcher as a pinch-hitter. the worst case scenario is extremely, extremely unlikely to happen and the end result is one stupid loss. big deal. I don't understand why the bolded is the case. The Cubs could well be up and bring Fox in to further increase the lead. ok, whatever, 64% of the time the cubs would be behind.

growing ironic moustaches was funny when you were like 18. also, there is a 0% chance that ryan franklin isn't an absolute gigantic douche with a beard like that. 0%.
-
there is no way in hell a manager puts a starting pitcher that is in the rotation behind the damn plate to catch. come on.
-
yeah, chemistry. that's the problem.
-
who is pitching? i'm assuming gamecast is broken because it still shows heilman pitching despite the fact that he's allowed five baserunners while getting one out and i know that can't be the case.
-
good for fantasy purposes.
-
yeah, all the good 3b are on teams in contention. which is why raw couldn't get a ton for wright and why he and i matched up well for a trade. i probably could have got a better SP than hamels for peavy, but i wanted to be able to get a SP and a 3b. hopefully i can keep teix, wright mccann and maybe hamels? haven't looked a whole lot at how much they're on pace to score. i think i've had just about enough of jimmy rollins.
-
i think i may be the only team in the league sporting an offense of guys all owned in 96% or more of leagues. of course, my pitching...
-
yeah, i've held on to atkins in hopes that he gets traded to boston. even being mediocre he would stumble into a decent amount of points in that lineup. but when you have the chance to trade for a 3b with five homers and a starting pitcher on the verge of being in the top 60, you just can't pass it up. :D
-
lol spraying the ball.
-
because apparently soriano is one of those cats that needs "special" treatment. he is used to being told hours before the fact that he isn't going to play. i guaran-damn-tee that 90% of everyday players in major league baseball are told in advance when they are going to be getting a day off. you think derek jeter runs over to see the manager's posted lineup to see if he's going to be playing that day?
-
peavy's one of the best keepers in the league. he's going to be limited to 200 points due to a non-arm injury. i was happy about his injury when i thought i was going to be out of it, but once i decided to stay in, he was clearly my best trade chip.

blockbusters!

Milton Bradley has a nine-game hitting streak

i don't think you understand how contracts work. or something. -
Speaking of kickers, I picked him up as a free agent. He had already cleared waivers. Yeah, that's what I meant. He's not that great a commodity but would be lovely to have as an exempt player for the next 2 seasons by which time, his production should take a big step forward. i have a bunch of exempt starting pitchers available in trade. and they're all pretty good...ask tim.
-
oh all the sudden he's a hot [expletive] commidity.

That's obvious. The only reason Smith doesnt start in LF is because the dummies in the front office feel they have to at least try and play Carlos Gonzalez, who they got in the Holliday trade. Everyone around here knows what is up and is sick of it. They dont understand why the Rox won't put their best players in the field. Cargo is abysmal. Smith on the other hand, is not. .284/.400/.482, 121 AB's, 6 HR, 6 2B, 2 3B, 20 RBI, 28 walks. thats not bad at all given the limited AB's. You're right. Instead of trying to win, they're trying to prove that they won the Matt Holliday trade. you're missing the point. he just wants you to say, "hey seth smith went to ole miss. didn't YOU go to ole miss too???"
