    ok, that's a bit of a reach. i'd probably be happy with 20 points from him vs. the mets. worst part about the injury is him possibly losing his second start. He had what, 55 pitches and 1 hit through 5. He's known to pitch a complete game or two. How is that a reach? I said could have...not would have. it's not really worth arguing about, but you make it sound like you just got robbed of 20 points. as we all know, a lot can happen between inning six and inning nine, and we've all seen good starts go bad real fast. he could have just as easily given up three runs over the next two innings...he didn't have any k's, so it doesn't sound like he was blowing anyone away. in any event, not a real good start to this week for me.

    Actually that would be a good thing. How something affects the Cubs is infinitely more important than how it affects your fantasy team. whether sheets starts doesn't have any effect on the cubs.

    you're going to keep randy johnson?

    Don't count on it happening again. My pitchers are so off and on this year, it's unreal. I hate having to throw Sheets today vs the Mets! yeah, i need a nice 4 point outing out of him today. uggla, as usual, is the key to my team. he can put up a 30 point week or a 2.75 point week. yikes, tim shouldn't have started verlander. [expletive] that guy...i missed the playoffs in another league by the tiniest of margins and it's because i kept running that [expletive] out there every week.

    if i hit .353, steal 13 bases and score 366 points this week, i better win. i also hope tootie doesn't have seven starts all of 17+ points.

    Week 22

    abuck1220 replied to NCCubFan's topic in Fantasy Sports

    getting my ass kicked despite hitting .361 and stealing 12 (!) bases on the week. six 19+ point starts for tootie.

    Well, to be fair, the umpires did know that the ball hit Victorino, unlike Stockton... "Strike three!!!" that's true. the worst thing about the hbp wasn't that he didn't move, it was that the pitch was a strike.

    the only thing worse than dick stockon is this umpiring crew.

    is this announcer honestly pondering whether EC should try a FG up five with six seconds left on VT's 25?
  11. abuck1220
    He said that with the umpire, the hitter, and the catcher in the way that it was very difficult for him to see that the ball would skip that far away. Then went on with the line, "it is easy to criticize from the stands or the press box...." kinda like how he criticizes soriano at every opportunity.

    theriot is the worst white baserunner in baseball.

    Why are you not enjoying this? I hate the people that call out those that are negative, because I am that way well over half the time, but your thoughts about this team seem to be particularly negative. Teams slump all the time. The Cubs have done it several times this year, only to bounce back and score 7-8 runs for a good stretch. I just hate it when we are losing, it chews up my insides. Believe me Ive enjoyed this season a great deal. I love this team, probably the best in my lifetime. I just hate it when they go long stretches without scoring. like four innings.
  14. abuck1220
    you're right, we should score 5.5 runs every game since we average that. i guess i can't blame you for not having a clue what a good baseball team looks like, though. When did I say we weren't good? I do recognize that we are the best team in the NL, but that wont stop me from complaining on a game to game basis. Its built into my soul. sounds like a miserable existence.

    that should have been fontenot ph-ing.
  16. abuck1220
    Go **** yourself. yikes.

    seriously, if illiniguy thinks you are acting ridiculous during a loss, you better do some serious self-evaluation.
  18. abuck1220
    well, that's just stupid. what law dictates you're either worse or better in "clutch" spots? How about just worse or not worse? right. The anti-clutch group isn't playing in a vacuum. If a subset of players is worse in high leverage situations, someone (as a matter of mathematics) is performing better. so if arod goes 0-5 in a playoff game, someone else has to have an above average game as a mathematical certainty?
  19. abuck1220
    I think the Cubs could be undefeated right now and you still would question if they're for real or not. aren't you the chicken little guy from the game threads?

  21. abuck1220
    well, that's just stupid. what law dictates you're either worse or better in "clutch" spots? No law dictates anything. then how come you assume if 25% of guys do worse in the clutch, 75% must do better? that's absurd. what the hell are you talking about.
  22. abuck1220
    what.

    sounds like he should have used that special concentration power during the rest of the game.
  25. abuck1220
    this is, of course, ridiculous and really, really terrible logic. i believe in choking, as it's obvious someone can crumble under pressure. but the idea that someone can magically enhance their ability in certain situations is enough to make me not believe in "clutch." if ramirez had the ability to turn it on in certain spots or enhance his focus in certain situations, he would do it all the time and make millions and millions of more dollars. unless it's like video game power that can only be used for so long...like the wings in super mario 3.
