Fantasy Baseball 2010

you have no idea how much flak I take for that lol. My dad was from Boston, so we would always watch Sox and Celtics games together. If Tim was still on my team, there would be no possible way he would throw an PG, but since I shipped him, all bets are off

 

Yes yes, this was always set up as a keeper league from the get-go. The wording used in that post was just saying that it would only be a keeper league if we had enough people who actually played through the entire year.

On a related note, the guy who I brought in for the 12th spot doesn't seem to be following his team (2 active players on the DL). I've contacted him to see if there is something going on, or if it would be okay if I gave his team to someone else.

Do you know of anyone that might be interested here on HBT if I give the LI Galways to someone?

 

That makes sense! I've sent trade proposals to the Galways and have never heard back from him

 

You should wait till Im done with him first

I really need this "get well" week...

 

I'd settle for a no-no, or even a CG shutout. :rockin:

 

I can imagine! What say we make another friendly wager on the NBA finals...Lakers vs.Celtics!

Dodgers play Boston this year too!

 

nah, not this month anyways, I have thrown a lot of money into my trip next week. But I'm sure we can find something in July that we can bet on so I can get another shot at some of those tasty west coast beers

 

Too bad! I was looking forward to enjoying more southern beers after the Lakers beat the Celtics!

 

haha, I dunno. depends on how loose the refs call the games

 

Hahaha! I'll see what I can do. We'd need to find a taker first, so I believe you should be safe...

 

Ok, Ok...you can find someone now. I have everything under control this week. 210 point lead in hand. Peaks and valleys, peaks and valleys

 

Congrats! You beat a team who's owner wasn't even playing:rockin:

 

I bet I have more points than you

 

Check the standings, you don't have more points than me....

 

we were talking about this week, but you're right...you are awesome, no doubt in my mind. Fantasy legend

 

Oh, you were talking about this week? Rodger...Not trying to be an awesome fantasy legend...But I'm not bragging about beating someone who isn't even trying.

 

Geez, I was by no means bragging about anything. Now I will though

I am awesome!

 

Sorry for being a deckhead..just been a long day! headed to pick up a foosball table, so I'll be in a better mood.

 

tornado?

I used to be a pretty big fooser myself. Best bar game ever!

 

Nah, It's a Harvard table-craigslist score for $40! and 5 mins from my shop. it's a $300 table, so I'm happy. Just needs to be dusted and wiped down. It'll fit nicely with our 2 beer pong tables and eventually I'll build a shuffelboard table.

I just saw this today and decided it was time to upgrade "peer pressure"

Nice! 'll set up pours later and take some pics.

 

Ray, Congrats on Buckholtz! Ouch, on benching Brett Cecil...I feel your pain, I benched Upton and he picked tonight to bust outta his slump,lol.

 

I'm itching for Monday. This two weeks on the byeweek shelf has been killing me!!!

 

yea, i was hoping bucks would be good against the O's. I had doubts about cecil, but I think he might have earned him a spot for another week

im looking forward to my 2 weeks off

 

So tomorrow is my first game back and I have two pitchers, Zito and Cueto, facing each other. Yay!

 

now its time for my 2 week break get ready for my return muwahahahahahahaha

 

Damn, two losses in a row! Trying not to make it three this week...

 

my Mondays are always so terrible.

tallied 19 points....Im already down 45 points

losers

 

Don't feel bad at least you had POSITIVE points! I have NEGATIVE 4.6 points after the 1st day.

 

Dude:

Sent you a trade offer. I'm shopping Wieters around. His value depends on whether you think he'll break out of his current hitting slump.

Eagle61: OK, maybe you're in negative territory today, but my Sluggers only posted 14 points yesterday, so you aren't down by much.

 

Looks like my players were sick of sitting around for 2 weeks, posting 60+ pts on day one.

w00t!!

 

Strausburg still needs ALOT of work! Sure he scored 46+ points today because of his K's, but he fell behind in the count far too much

 

When I saw who's team Strausburg was on, I had a big groan.........untill I saw that he did not start! I guess I do have a little bit of luck.

 

that kid is something. I didnt see anything but the espn highlights, but whatever pitch he is using to set up that crazy curve makes an amazing 1-2 punch

 

That pitch is a 99 MPH fastball. Scary stuff. I hope he lives up to the hype around him, and doesn't fall victim to injury, drugs or circumstance. He can be great for the game.

 

I watched his entire outing(love being my own boss) "fanning" 14 batters is impressive(until you realize it was the Bucs lineup)

Honestly, he threw well. I'd give him a B-...he fell behind early and often in the pitch count(not a good habit,ask joe saunders) luckily he has very good stuff and was able to battle back from 2-0 and 3-1 counts because of one pitch, the MOST IMPORTANT PITCH IN BASEBALL...the changeup!

if you rely on a high 90s fastball, you will have a short and spectacular career. Major league hitter can hit the cheese,especially when they know its coming. The Nats' did the right thing by keeping him on the farm to develop his changeup(a pitch he didn't possess prior to this year) I LOVE HIS "SLURVE" mainly because i cannot hit a sliding curveball to save my life

that being said, his change is a nice pitch that will fool alot of hitters especially since it's 10 mph slower than his fastball. I wish they would have left him in to throw a complete game though!

 

This kid is the next Doc Gooden from what I saw last night. Very good fastball, curvball and slurve. the homeplate umpire had a hard time calling balls and strikes because he throws so hard. He is truly and unreal talent.

 

You're saying the Blue had a hard time calling balls/strikes ,"cause he throws so hard?" It's not like he's he first pitcher to throw 99 mph.

 

yes...thats what Im saying. His stuff is pretty different. Even the announcers indicated that was the case. Again, I watched the whole outing. He was impressive.
