    Actually he'd still be better than [retty much every analyst on the network. Their on air personalities are unbelievably atrocious. It makes BBTN seem like fangraphs. Yes but unlike Phillips, every analyst on that station(ok...other than Mitch Williams) actually knows what he is talking about. That's like the opposite of what I just said. The analysts on MLBN are atrocious. I don't know how you can say that. I turned it on for 5 minutes the other day and I heard Harold Reynolds use the phrase "clogging the bases" THREE times in that span. Then they cut over to Al Leiter next to a big screen with the Twins lineup to break down how the Yankees would attack it. His plan? To retire the first 2 guys in the lineup. He talked for about 3 minutes about how they should focus on getting the top 2 guys out before Mauer/Cuddyer/Kubel come up. Thanks Al. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try and retire the top 2 guys in the lineup. Great strategy. Pretty much every one of the analysts on that network relies on batting average, RBIs, and win totals for starting pitchers. It's bruuttttalllll.

    Kind of funny that by the time this finally got finished, Peavy is on the White Sox and Kevin Towers isn't even a GM anymore.

    I bet it happens a lot more in those places, actually. I think the Cubs players are just the only ones who complain about it.

    i ended up with a ton of rb's too. steven jackson, gore, reggie bush, mendenhall, parker, choice, and maroney. im gonna package some and try to upgrade somewhere else. Your running backs have been pretty lousy this year. eh. steven jackson is still on pace for like 1500 yards and lots of receptions, he just can't get into the endzone. gore scored a ton of points for me in the first 2 weeks before he got hurt, so i think he'll be fine. mendenhall has been nice since he's been starting. the others pretty much suck, but i've gotten good weeks from choice and bush as fill ins.

    my awesome luck continued this week. i'm going to finish with the 3rd lowest point toal this week (out of 12 teams) and i'm still going to win, 93-90 starting cutler over carson palmer was a poor choice

    More awesomness...... - the birthmark is on his junk, apparently http://www.fanhouse.com/2009/10/21/now-showing-on-espn-fatal-attraction-ii/?icid=webmail|wbml-aol|dl4|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanhouse.com%2F2009%2F10%2F21%2Fnow-showing-on-espn-fatal-attraction-ii%2F So not only is she an uggo, she's a pyscho too. Good job, Steve.

    is cutler the most overrated quarterback in the nfl? even when he was good the past couple years he was throwing a ton of interceptions. he just a pretty goodquarterback, and that's it.

    I'm in the same boat with Mendenhall and Maroney. I have both (and also Reggie Bush, but I've ruled him out) and only one spot left. I'm probably going with Mendenhall, even though he faces a tougher opponent. I still don't trust that Maroney will get a big enough workload, even with Morris out. Mendenhall has already been named the starter, so he's a lock to get a lot of touches. Man, it's gonna piss me off when Maroney gets like 20+ carries tomorrow and has a big day.

    Um..... It's hard to play well when your own teammates don't have your back.

    Maybe, but I think it's more fun. Me too.

    In one of my money leagues I'm like 7th out of 12 in points, yet I'm 4-2 and have sole posession of second place. Head to head scoring is highly flawed.

    Steve Phillips former GM, is finding himself in a lot of trouble these days as yet another ESPN employee is accused of having a affair with a co-worker. The girl is/was only 22 and it got bad between the 2. Here's the article: http://backporch.fanhouse.com/2009/10/21/steve-phillips-brooke-hundley-affair-leads-to-reported-espn-susp/#cont

    Let me guess.... it's another person that doesn't really know what Moneyball was about.

    I still don't understand why so many people dislike Rothschild. The Cubs pitching is good pretty much every year.
