BP Fantasy Baseball (2008-2024, Current Champion = MD Buckeye again)

BTW billmac, I think you're good with Rodney as a closer. Hysterical that I dropped Lyon last week and grabbed Lohse from the FA list to take his spot. I wasn't sold on Lyon keeping the job since Detroit has three different guys to be the closer.

I dodged a bullet.

Today's gem:
B Lyon (L, 0-1; B, 1) 1.0 3 3 3 2 0 1 37-20 27.00

Thank goodness that's not on my scorecard!

Made some more last ditch moves today. Grabbed Bonifacio since he's opened the season as a human highlight reel. The Marlins will let him run, and I'm going to need SB stats from somewhere.

EDIT: Nice. I type that shit about Lyon and one of my other closers, Morrow, just goes and walks the bases loaded and blows a save, turning in a 45.00 ERA for his effort.

Fuck Adrian Beltre and fuck Lance Berkman.

That is all.

Anybody have Chieng Ming Wang?

Anybody have Chieng Ming Wang?

Yeah, THEWOOD did. He dropped him after the Monday start and didn't even have Wang on the roster for yesterday (replaced him with Kevin Gregg).

The Yankees have lost Wangs last two starts by the combined score of 37-9.

Dustin Pedroia picked a helluva week to play like ass, and Stephen Drew's gimpy hammy hamstrung my offensive numbers for the past week. I lost 5-6, winning all the pitching categories and losing all the hitting categories. In the end I came up short 1 RBI, 1 TB, and .009 in OBP. Cards/Cubs getting rained out last night didn't help, since Ludwick is proving to be a fucking stud for me. I have no idea WTF Larussa is thinking only playing him three or four days a week. It's pissing me off.

I dumped Hanrahan and took Bartlett last night. I need another SS and Hanrahan is superfluous since I nabbed Ryan Franklin in week one when it looked like he might get the closers job in StL. Oh, and there's that little fact that Hanrahan sucks so much he might be unemployed tomorrow. Fuck me in the ass for picking any RPs on a staff Jim Bowden assembled.

Real players better pray I don't pick them.

Ervin Santana ... DL
Xavier Nady ... DL
Jose Guillen ... DL
Cristian Guzman ... DL

At this point I'm dumping the injured guys and taking replacements. Yahoo was three days late making Nady available for the DL, and that margin was a big part of the difference.

I might be willing to deal Bonnifacio if anybody wants him. I've got a surplus of infielders now and need either an OF or a middle reliever that can reliably get a H statistic every week.

 

[Dryden]

Is it just me or are daily stats shut off now? I've got an add for stat tracker in my stat window.

Fucking tell me about it.

No shit I'm thinking of starting a business by calling the agents of players I'm considering drafting and telling them if they don't want to punt their entire season (or possibly careers) they have to pay me 50K to not draft them. I could make a fortune.

Don't think my jinx isn't some powerful mojo? I draft Berkman and he can't even hit Reds pitching. I draft Brandon Webb, he pitches one game-gets shelled and is on the DL for the first time in years. Fuck, I draft the best hitting catcher in the NL and now his eyes are going out on him! WTF!! Who the hell else does this kind of dumb shit happen to??!!

StatTracker was free the first two weeks.

I thought my team would hit better than it would pitch. Instead, the first two weeks my pitching has been good but my hitters stunk and I got smacked. :(

been an interesting start to the fantasy season.

You mean how everybody is getting ROFLstomped by mross, whose team was autodrafted by Yahoo! and hasn't bothered even making any roster moves despite three of his players, including two SPs, are on the DL?



Yeah, we all suck.

How ridiculous is it? Rick Ankiel dove face-first into an outfield wall and was taken off the field immobilized on a stretcher.

mross still had him starting the next day!

pretty much.....

I'm going to have to make some moves when Ervin Santana comes off the DL. I need a HR & RBI producing OF.

I have Santana, Lincecum, Meche, Buerhle, Lohse, Millwood, Lilly, and Chamberlain as starters. They have all been studs until Lohse got bombed two days ago.

Make some offers, people!!! I need another outfielder since Nady went down.

I've got one decent OF on a team of complete shit. If I trade him I'll go from suck to blow.

BTW add CC "cockbreath" Sabathia to my list of players who can go fuck themselves right in the ass. Worthless fat bastard.

 

[brodybuck21]

How do you put someone on the dl? I have had John Lackey and Edwin Encarnacion taking up 2 bench spots cause I didnt realize we could put someone on the dl. Any help would be appreciated and met with some greenies
