In-season Talk...

[southcarolina 166]

I love the smell of first place in the morning.

[GuardBum 73]

I'm ecstatic about 9-6 in 7th place after the start the Jays have gotten off to. Absolutely horrible and yet somehow I got enough production to take a few categories.

As ecstatic as i am about the RNRS being in first, i am even more psyched about the start the real RedSox have gotten off to. Seems like forever since they started hot, and dare i say, even overachieved a little bit. Im sure they will fall back to Earth at some point, but its certainly encouraging.

[Finbabble Garp 1]

The Brewers and I both sucked it.

 

And Ramirez is injured.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

hey Rays! you're strength is supposed to be pitching. how about you win me some categories!

[posty 2,296]

Boy what a crappy start by the Natinals...

[BlackClouds 24]

Screw you Kevin Jepsen!

[Finbabble Garp 1]

8 games in, and Zack Cozart's batting average (.129) is higher than his OBP (.125).

 

Rooting for that to hold up a while.

[Mookz 1,287]

The Brewers and I both sucked it.

 

And Ramirez is injured.

I got you in the right week, good sir.

 

This is undoubtedly the Os' high water mark.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

wasnt todd frazier drafted?

[Finbabble Garp 1]

wasnt todd frazier drafted?

Somebody placed an order, but never picked it up.

[posty 2,296]

wasnt todd frazier drafted?

 

Yes, Know Doubt (Arizona) drafted him and as Garp said, he wasn't picked up...

 

I put Frazier on his roster (bench) and cut one of his exclusives that was on the DL...

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

i'll probably be comparing these two all season long since it was my first round debate

 

Through April 10th

 

BJ Upton - .103, 2 runs, 0 doubles, 0 triples, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 SB

 

C Crawford - .464, 8 runs, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 SB

 

 

i wish nothing bad on BJ Upton, i like him, but it's really nice to see Crawford slashing again. Not only because I drafted him but because he is one of my favorite players.

[Finbabble Garp 1]

Zack Greinke was diagnosed with a fractured left collarbone.

Awful news for the Dodgers and fantasy owners. Greinke sustained the injury Thursday night when Padres' outfielder Carlos Quentin charged the mound following a hit-by-pitch. It's not known how long he'll be sidelined, but the Dodgers' $147 million man is likely looking at a lengthy absence. Chris Capuano and Ted Lilly are among the alternatives for his rotation spot.

 

Yeah, saw this coming a mile away.

[southcarolina 166]

I double checked. I triple checked. And somehow i still missed that Justin Masterson was starting today. And of course he goes out and throws a complete game shutout.

 

F0ck i hate fantasy baseball.

[southcarolina 166]

First place, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

The curse of Jose Reyes continues? After my Marlins fell WAY below expectations in 2012, now as a Blue Jay Reyes is expected out 2-3 months.

[southcarolina 166]

WTF?

 

 

I have five guys on the DL (Ortiz, Hanley, Breslow, Cueto, and Hanrahan) and two guys on the f0cking paternity leave list (Moss, Albers) Christ you guys cant read a f0cking calender? Maybe knock your baby mamas up so that they will pop during the off season?

 

 

I f0cking hate fantasy baseball.

[southcarolina 166]

You guys are awful quiet.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

 

haha nevermind! i now see the note regarding Chapman

[Finbabble Garp 1]

Team's finally starting to wake up a little, except that half of it is now sitting on the DL, and the weather knocked me out of a chance to get CC back in the starting lineup for his last start, which was of course an excellent one.

 

Still, all in all, not so bad the last week or so. Nice to be putting some non-humiliating numbers up for all my non-Ike-Davis starters.

 

Ike just blows. Oh well.

[southcarolina 166]

No, she gets a special cologne... It's called First Place by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real first place, so you know it's good.

[Finbabble Garp 1]

First weekly wictory, even after botching a CC Sabathia start.

 

Team slowing easing their way toward health, hitters hitting, throwers throwing...

 

I smell 10th place looming.

 

Fellow basement dwellers beware.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

Watch out, leaders! There are some Gheys behind you!

[Jim Mora 26]

Man, I needed a week like that. Looks good after struggling last week against Washington.

 

I am in serious need of a first basemen though.

[southcarolina 166]

Gomes returned home to present for the birth of his child. It's not clear if he'll be placed on the paternity leave list.

 

 

 

So seriously. This is the third guy in the first month of the season that is on my team and has missed time due to impending fatherdom. Thats a lot isnt it?

Let's see - about 9 months ago was the All-Star Break. Considering they were barely .500 at the time, I'm sure plenty of Red Sox had nothing better to do.

Jonny Gomes was on the Oakland A's last season.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

if i can eventually get anything from Giancarlo and if David Price can right the ship, I might have a decent team on my hands.

 

awaiting the returns of Matt Garza and Delmon Young

[southcarolina 166]

I mean, say what you like about the tenets of First Place, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

Ghey pride!

 

4th place and zilch from price and stanton until yesterday... ill take it. Should get delmon young and garza back in may... waiting for myers call up.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

well after a good week, Stanton promptly hurts his vagina, i mean hamstring and will miss a month

 

 

the following is really for no purpose other than my own desire to track my 1st round choice

 

BJ vs. CC (through April)

 

......AVG.....AB....R....H....2B....3B....HR....RBI....SB...CS...BB...K

BJ - .146-----89----6----13-----3------0-------3-------5-------3------2------8-----32

 

CC - .308-----91----20---28----5-----1------4-------6-------4------2------9-----16

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Wow, talk about missing the boat...

 

My bench through two days:

9/14, 6 HRs, 10 RBI

 

Insult to injury, Guard sat Morrow and Holladay and dodged pitching staff suicide.

[southcarolina 166]

Claybuck = Stud.

[Jim Mora 26]

We need an emoticon with a broom.

Like this one?

[southcarolina 166]

My lack of first place is disturbing.

[WhiteWonder 2,172]

i praised my team too soon. Immediately after climbing to 4th place, Stanton hit the DL, the Rays had 1 or 2 cancelled games and my squad generally played like shit... back to 8th!

[southcarolina 166]

Oh yeah that reminds me......f0ck off Hanley Ramirez. Thanks for the 4 whole games between DL stints/

Well, the good news is that your Rays have 7 games this week against my Tigers who have 5.
