2007 Fantasy Baseball

I'm loving my pitching staff. Even though I picked up half of them off the scrap heap, I think I have one of, if not the best staff in the league. I can't wait to do another draft. Knowing what I know now, I think I could be REALLY dangerous.

I really need to pay attention to this thing, and make it work for me instead of trusting the luck of the Gods. But damn, the days have been hectic, and there's laziness late at night after drinking as well.

I look at it pretty often. I can actually access the site from work, which is nice. I find it much easier to pay attention to than football. I ALMOST bought the MLB season ticket yesterday so that I can watch more games. I may still do it.

 

[Tophe]

I almost bought the mlb.tv thing to watch them online. I check the scores all the time...at work or at home. My pitching staff is killing me again this week. Next week should be pretty good though, considering I have 10 starts if no rainouts screw me up.

 

[Tophe]

How about that comeback today Ize!! I was disappointed that it was that close. I figured with my 10 starts to your 5 would have helped a little more but a couple of them sucked it up bad! Good match though.

Pale Ale Hose get another win! Top of the food chain baby!!

 

[Tophe]

Hey Ize......got my spot at the top ready for me!

Freakin Cheese waits until he plays me before he finally puts together a week

 

[Tophe]

If you could have gotten a save in there at the end......

So glad I put Zambrano at the top of my draft. That's paying off in Aces.

Nothing worse than having a pitcher get you neg. points.....I had Todd Jones blow 2 saves this week! Really shouldnt surprise me, but he had been doing pretty good this year.

What's worse is benching your ace because he was SUPPOSED to come back off the DL mid week, but ended up being a 2-start pitcher that put up HUGE numbers.

How about picking up the 2nd most points in the league for the week and still getting smoked by 50. Curse you bird.

 

[Tophe]

F*$@ Rod.....Lay off a little....its only the second day and Im gettin spanked!! I think this may be nates last week!! 6 runs without a fricken out.

 

[Ize]

Ok Jay, that's about enuf of the a$$ whipping for today TYVM....

[Tophe]

I have a little life left, but its not looking too good for me..... 2 of my 2 start pitchers missed their second starts, and one of them got me -9 points his first start. I need 2 saves and a nice night for Byrnes!!

Oh...sorry Ize...I was rooting against you.

LOL, no prob.

Man, you were making me sweat today! I thought I was going to get burnt on the last day again with a 50 point lead. Most of my position players were off today - wtf is that all about? Don't these managers know I'm in a pennant race here!!

I'm really starting to hate the Urban Achievers! Bastards NEVER lose!

 

[Tophe]

Yeah, I was just checking out the scores and stats. My two closers both won today, they just came in with a four run lead so it wasnt the save situation.....Lookin forward to takin down the Horace Clark team now.....Looks like I'll still be on top this week.

Best be careful what you wish for. I'm on a roll now, 1 in a row.:rockin:

 

[Tophe]

See if I can go a week without having a picture screw me! If I get at least 10 points from a starter each start Im satisfied.....its the negatives that I hate.

You know what I hate about the site we use?

I can't figure out how to rank all pitchers, or to even see year-to-date point totals for players. I'm trying to figure out if I'm better off starting a mediocre starting pitcher (Mark Buehrle) or a great relief pitcher (JJ Putz). Is there a general rule on how many starting versus relief pitchers to play at one time?

I probably shouldn't tell you and let you figure it out for yourself, but if you go to the free agents screen, you can select the position and then switch the dropdown box at the top of the list to "all" of that position you want to see.

My opinion(and take it for what it's worth considering my record) is that middle relief pitchers don't give you the bang for your buck that starters and closers do. You get the 10 pts for a win or a save, you have to have a bunch of real good outings each week to make up for a win. I actually think loading up on closers is a good thing since you might get 3 maybe 4 save chances a week but at the most your starters will only get 2 starts a week. More oportunities to pick up points.

 

[Tophe]

Ive been running 2 closers and it works pretty good for me. Theres alot more starters with potential.....To be a good closer to get saves first they need to be on a winning team so they can get save opportunities.

I almost ran all three of my closers this week.....These decisions on who to play and who to sit can get a little stressful sometimes! It really sux when you're wrong and its the difference in winning or losing that week.

Hope my tigers bats stay hot!

 

[rdwj]

I almost always run two closers. I don't think I'd even consider using a relief pitcher in this league; there are WAY too many starters and closers available.

 

[Tophe]

You have to be quick on mondays to beat rod to the 2 start pitchers.....

It's been slim pickin's the last couple of weeks

 

[Cheesefood]

Dude...WTF is going on? I'm pwning the lead this week.

 

[Tophe]

First time for everything!! Maybe Verlander can throw me another no no and I can overtake you!. You might get a W this week cheese!

Horace Clark had a little of my luck from last week having a pitcher go on the dl at the end of the week.
