Curious to see what 6 WRs you like this year? I was 1 pick away from having Larry Fitzgerald instead of Austin, but the bastard in front of me grabbed him. What happened in my league is that QBs are so highly valued that 10 of the 12 teams kept a QB, and I kept 2. And in a 12 team league that starts 2 QBs, there are not enough starting QBs for everyone. So QBs flew off the board in the first couple of rounds leaving me to get Mendenhall in the 2nd, almost Fitzgerald but instead Austin in the 3rd, Marshall in the 4th and De'Angelo in the 5th. In my league, Eli Manning was literally a 3rd round pick. Anyway, that's a solid top to bottom team. You have a couple of players I really like this year that I myself didn't get, including Stafford, Blount and Ingram. Love the RB depth. Solid TE duo as well. You could probably use a better 3rd and 4th WR, but I'm guessing you like Floyd. I personally don't prefer him.

That's a pretty solid team. Just gotta watch out for injuries to your QBs and to Gore and you look solid. Could use an upgrade at TE, but I almost never end up with a good TE...I too ended up with Winslow. I just drafted my team last night, and I think I did really good. The other people in the league say I'm the favorite but I don't want to get ahead of myself...too much could happen. Teams: 12 2 QB/ 3 RB/ 4 WR / TE / K / DEF Stats tend to have a moderate bias towards QBs and pass catching RBs QB: Drew Brees (keeper) QB: Michael Vick (keeper) RB: Rashad Mendenhall RB: De'Angelo Williams RB: Ryan Mathews WR: Miles Austin WR: Brandon Marshall WR: Austin Collie WR: Sydney Rice TE: Kellen Winslow K: No one for now DEF: Chicago Bears BN: Chad Henne BN: Vince Young BN: Willis McGahee BN: Arrelious Benn BN: Danny Amendola (gonna drop when I can) I think my bench could use a bit of help. Football outsiders says it loves McGahee as a 4th RB and same with Benn at WR, but I feel like injury risks (Benn coming back from ACL surgery), and McGahee needs no explanatiion

Speaking of Ramirez hate. People keep piling on. How can you actually believe this [expletive]? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ycn-9010329

He is a quiet guy and keeps to himself, and while he's put up consistently good numbers he's never been a premier player in the league. He's only finished in the top 5 of the NL any offensive category twice (2B in 2008 - 5th, XBH in 2006 - 4th) and never in the top 3. He's only made 2 ASG, and only finished closer than 10th in an MVP voting. He's also been overshadowed by more personable stars like Sosa, Alou, Nomar, Prior, Wood, Zambrano and Lee his entire Cubs career before this year. I'm not trying to downplay his career, because its been really good, adn the guy is/was a star. But I can understand why he's kind of fallen between the cracks in terms of marketing.

Lets win tomorrow and take the season series -
You spelled "struck out" incorrectly.

Why not make a claim? If we did one of threw things will happen: we work out a trade for him, we don't work out a trade for him or they give him to us. No downside to that. Unless, do you lose you waiver priority if you make a claim? I'd be really happy if we acquired him at a reasonable cost. Id be surprised if Bush was allowed to give up too much.

Minus whale. For all intensive purposes, we wouldn't be saving any money. I could care less about saving money. It's a doggy dog world. True. Irregardless, it's a mute point.

Would you be surprised if I told you that would be his 2nd lowest season OPS as a Cub? Currently tied for his career high in OPS+ though. Amazing what a radical shift we've seen over the last 5-7 years.

I gotta think it has to do with a reason similar to this.

I saw Colts sign Collins and my first thought was 'oh no Todd collins is back in the league'
-
He took a line drive off his pitching elbow, and then his manager left him in the game to pitch? I'm very certain he didn't stay in that game. No he didnt. He missed a month, which I'd say is pretty crazy for someone taking a line drive off his pitching elbow. Strangely enough his ERA before the injury was 2.93 and the ERA post injury was 4.07.

I wouldnt worry about numbers, all thats important is he got out there and threw and felt good after the game.

Remember, no more being mean! I don't see where he agreed to that. -
It's just not going to happen. His arm cannot be used for pitching anymore. Very very sad story. I remember when the Cubs decided not to sign him, many here were worried about the Cubs looking bad when Prior rose to 2003 level again. He has yet to pitch since leaving the Cubs. 5 straight years out of the big leagues. Geez.

2 pitchers I dislike going against each other.

How can we identify the "clutch" skill set, for future reference?

Damn this season has flown by. I just realized the Cubs have only 2 more homestands left this year.

Do I look like CT?

1st pitch groundout

That was disappointing Pena. Lately I think we fail more than we succeed with runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

Off Season Budget

People should remember to include Pena's $5 mil in their estimations. -
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Cubs have had at least 2 hitters reach in 8 of the last 10 innings and have scored 0 runs.
