2011 Fantasy Baseball League

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Except the first week started today not yesterday. I had 2 starts yesterday that don't count.

The innings from yesterday count, where do you think my 8 innings came from since I changed it before any of todays games :slap:

[deebakes]

My team is still bad :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Dee must've cast a curse on me. Even Mariano Rivera tanked tonight.

Casting curses is cheating, Dee.

:nono:

[deebakes]

you'll still win, don't worry...

[DemonGeminiX]

you'll still win, don't worry...

I don't know, man... with Ryan Braun in your lineup? He single-handedly schooled my entire batting order tonight.

:lol:

[deebakes]

i didn't drop joe nathan fast enough :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Ouch, man. That's ok, I have the train wreck that is his replacement. Matt Capps is a joke.

[Cactus]

shit now I need to figure this inning thing out. The learning curve is pretty low, but I am just learning as it goes on.

Does the inning thing update after the game because I have 0 inning right now even though two players pitched today.

Thanks God the St. Louis game was postponed. I had Holliday on my bench as I didn't check this morning

I think everything updates at around 5:30am EST. That's what I've noticed when waiting for the final tally for the week to be done. Win-loss-tie record, that is.

[Cactus]

Ok. I think I will need to start checking my line-up before I go to bed every night. I forget in the morning.

[DemonGeminiX]

Victorino goes 2 for 11 in the past two games, both singles, no runs, no RBIs, so I bench him. Today he goes 2 for 3, with a home run and an RBI. Figures.

:roll:

[DemonGeminiX]

It sucks when you have batters on your roster going up against one of your own pitchers.

:wha:

[RBP]

Hmmmm, I don't think I'll fare too well today, have to make it up over the weekend. :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

Dee's kicking my ass this week.

[RBP]

wtf? not only did I sit in the cold ass rainy weather to watch the Cubs lose 12-2, but I come home and see a reversal of fortunes on my match this week. I am now getting my butt kicked! :x

[deebakes]

Dee's kicking my ass this week.

you'll catch up, don't worry...

[DemonGeminiX]

you'll catch up, don't worry...

I doubt it. It doesn't look like my batters are swinging that great right now and you got the drop on me early on in the pitching department, but that's ok. Hopefully I can make up for it in a later series.

[deebakes]

it isn't going to be a blowout regardless :lol:

[RBP]

That's bullshit. I had a pitcher come off the DL and he's starting today. I can't pitch him because I am now over max roster size, but I can't drop a player until tomorrow. wtf.

[RBP]

This my day to make up ground! Bring it! :x

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That's bullshit. I had a pitcher come off the DL and he's starting today. I can't pitch him because I am now over max roster size, but I can't drop a player until tomorrow. wtf.

All roster changes that involve adding and/or dropping players are processed the next day, it's been that way all season :nono:

[RBP]

Well yeah but they activated him and started him immediately. So unless I was holding an open spot there was no way to adjust for it.

[DemonGeminiX]

Holy shit! Talk about driving the nail into the coffin! The numbers Dee's batters put up on Saturday!

:huh:

[RBP]

I had a very good day yesterday and I have the lineup set to have another great day today! Go me!

[DemonGeminiX]

So I need Dee's team to tank across the board today, and I need all my players to put in the performances of their careers...

I estimate my chances at close to nil today.

:thumbsup:

[DemonGeminiX]

And Rivera blows the save. I just can't win this week.

:no:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You're going down this week DGX :x

[DemonGeminiX]

There ya go using that constipated smiley again. Dude, Ex-lax. It works.

:thumbsup:

[deebakes]

:woot:

[DemonGeminiX]

:woot:

I'm assuming that's in reference to your win over me. Congratulations man. I knew it was just a matter of time until your batters woke up.

[RBP]

22-0? :shock:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Looks like you have a hill to climb before the end of the week :-k

[RBP]

Looks like you have a hill to climb before the end of the week :-k

holy crap yes... but it'll be done!!

[DemonGeminiX]

He just had a lot more players playing yesterday than you did. You didn't have any pitchers yesterday either. I bet it'll even out a bit before tonight is over.

[RBP]

I don't have any pitchers tonight either... so yeah it'll take a few days...

[Godfather]

I'm down 22 - 3 :lol: Balls

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm down 22 - 3 :lol: Balls

Read RBP's and my posts previous to yours. I bet the same situation applies to you as well.

[DemonGeminiX]

I don't have any pitchers tonight either... so yeah it'll take a few days...

That happened to me last week against Dee. It took me all week to catch up and get an edge on him with respect to the pitching stats. I got lucky last night. I only had one pitcher where as Lance had two, but one of his was pulled after getting beat up throughout the first and second innings.

[RBP]

Just went up 9-8! Comeback! *wears rally cap*

[DemonGeminiX]

I keep wanting to say something about how things are going right now, but since I'm competing against you guys, I'll just keep my mouth shut.

:sealed:

I've been quiet about it all season long, and it's driving me nuts.

If I said something and the person in question actually listened to me, you guys would never forgive me.

[deebakes]

mush isn't changing his team, i think we all know that. i hope that's not his big secret :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

You're right, it's not a secret.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I can go in and bench all his players :shifty:

[DemonGeminiX]

:hand:

He still wouldn't care.

[deebakes]

You're right, it's not a secret.

was that why i was going to apparently kill you this time? :?

[DemonGeminiX]

was that why i was going to apparently kill you this time? :?

I think if any one of us went and told him to rotate a few of his benched players in and leave them there, the league would look a lot different and everybody losing to him would be really pissed that there was an intervention on his behalf when he's not even trying.

[deebakes]

or maybe its if it aint broke, don't fix it? he's beating me by doing nothing :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

or maybe its if it aint broke, don't fix it? he's beating me by doing nothing :lol:

That's because your batters weren't swinging. They've woken up. I think you're going to be climbing in the standings provided your team has similar consistent offensive output that you had against me. I've looked at your lineup during our week, and there's absolutely no reason you should have the record that you have. The players on your team are that good.

[deebakes]

glad you think so :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:dunno:

You've got some heavy hitters, man.

[deebakes]

they are starting to come around. fortunately i got berkman before anyone else since canadians can't seem to hit the ball... or at least morneau can't :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

they are starting to come around. fortunately i got berkman before anyone else since canadians can't seem to hit the ball... or at least morneau can't :lol:

Actually, Berkman was on my watch list for the past two weeks. I would've picked him up if Konerko and Zobrist didn't start hitting, but they both have come alive... especially Zobrist.

After our series, I had to go in and really evaluate some of my hitters. There was absolutely no production during the week so I had to make some moves. I think I have maybe two or three players left from my original post-draft lineup... I've considered turning over just about every batter that I've had.

Interesting fact, Victorino didn't hit shit for two weeks before I dropped him. After I dropped him, he's gone on a hitting streak and somebody else grabbed him now. Was the same thing with David Ortiz.

Uh oh... Lance just picked up Shields from Tampa. :lol:

[deebakes]

my team is roughly the same, despite quite a few moves. mostly shifting out pieces that on the edge really. i already know who i am going to drop when people come off the DL, so at least that's nice :lol:

[Joebob034]

Interesting fact, Victorino didn't hit shit for two weeks before I dropped him. After I dropped him, he's gone on a hitting streak and somebody else grabbed him now.

:dance: got rid of Alex Rios's ass for him

[DemonGeminiX]

:dance: got rid of Alex Rios's ass for him

He's a good pick, if he keeps hitting. But he's streaky. If you don't have backup options for outfield in case he hits the skids again, you might get frustrated waiting for him to hit the ball.

[RBP]

Tonight should be a big night for me... we shall see.

[DemonGeminiX]

Hey, Abreu got a hit... oh wait, you benched him.

:mrgreen:

[RBP]

:x

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Hey, Abreu got a hit... oh wait, you benched him.

I fucking refuse to lose to Mush. :|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Well get ready to lose to me next week :dance:

[DemonGeminiX]

Mush has got a good team. I was sweatin' when I played against him.

[RBP]

Oh good I have an easy week coming up. :dance:

[RBP]

Mush has got a good team. I was sweatin' when I played against him.

He still has Castro benched. :|

I know. Don't you just want to slap him?

Fidel? :-k

[RBP]

I know. Don't you just want to slap him?

:lol:

Yes! :lol:


Fidel? :-k

Him too!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

He also has 2 players currently on the DL in his starting line-up ;)

[RBP]

I know! I am getting beat by 8 guys with no pitching rotation. :x

[Griffin]

I know! I am getting beat by 8 guys with no pitching rotation. :x

so you're the pivot man.

[DemonGeminiX]

I was all happy that Carlos Santana got that grand slam that brought Grady Sizemore home... until I found who had Santana in his lineup.

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sure would be nice if my guys could hit....had a .176 average as a team yesterday :|

[RBP]

I guess I am starting to take this thing more seriously, because losing to Mushy is really starting to annoy me. :lol:

OMG!!! Orlando Cabrera got a hit!

:faint:

[DemonGeminiX]

Great. Cabrera hits and everybody else dries up. Fuckers.

:roll:

[RBP]

Whoever I bench has a good day this week.

poop. :|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I have 4 players on the DL now :|

I shit you not, Maicer Izturis was out for a week because his left hamstring felt sore. It's not like he's being asked to break a world record in the deadlift.

:|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Jimenez of the Rockies was on the 14 day DL because of a sore cuticle earlier this year :|

[DemonGeminiX]

:-s

God forbid if he has a hangnail.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It was on his pitching hand, but still :|

[DemonGeminiX]

Francoeur hits a homer!

Woohoo!

You've done well, grasshopper.

(i'm actually benching rollins for tonight and not playing a shortstop, because i only think he can hurt my results, not help :lol: )

[DemonGeminiX]

:dance:

(i'm actually benching rollins for tonight and not playing a shortstop, because i only think he can hurt my results, not help :lol: )

I don't blame you one bit, Jimmy's been inconsistent.

[deebakes]

it depends on whether cactus' overtakes the AVG category before that game starts. we've been going back and forth all day :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

That's what I was about to say, his games are almost over and the only category he could realistically take you for is the average, unless his remaining batters go on a hitting spree in the ninth.

[DemonGeminiX]

He's done.

[deebakes]

:cheerlead:

[DemonGeminiX]

Now watch Jimmy Rollins go on a tear now that you've benched him.

[deebakes]

as long as he doesn't get 5 triples or a grand slam, it's kind of irrelevant :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Now Lance is done... I could play Placido tonight, he's been streaking lately, although I don't really need him on any stats. But Cliff Lee is pitching tonight and I could use him to improve my pitching numbers...

:-k

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

... provided he pitches well...

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

... and gets 12 K's...

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

... it is the Mets...

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

What do you think, Dee?

[deebakes]

you've got to start him, are you kidding? :shock:

(you could possibly tie the QS and and take the WHIP )

I assume you're joking, right?

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, I'm looking at that. I have nothing to lose by letting Lee and Madson be available in my pitching lineup. He's already got me on the pitching numbers. I can only take them away from him, but I can't give up anything to him in that regard.

However, Placido could commit errors and lower my BA and slugging percentage so I'm benching him tonight.

So the pitchers will play, and my remaining batter sits.

[Cactus]

screw you Dee!!! That is all :(

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, one thing's for sure... Matt Harrison has got to go. He is definitely not contributing to my numbers in a positive way at all.

[deebakes]

screw you Dee!!! That is all :(

I love you too :oops:

[DemonGeminiX]

33 pitches, 1 hit, 2 walks, and no runs in the first inning for Lee. Not a very good sign.

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, that's all she wrote for Lee. At least I got a quality start and evened that stat up.

[Cactus]

how far back do i need to fall before I can give up like Pirate fans do every year?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You're currently leading your matchup. Keep it up and maybe you'll stage a comeback like Dee is.

[Cactus]

I have lead or been tied in the beginning of everyweek. Then my team declines to take the weekends off :(

[deebakes]

everyone's tied at the beginning of the week :razz:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

Grady Sizemore or Peter Bourjos?

[Hugh_Janus]

second place dude is just passin through.... with his strengthened team :dance:

[DemonGeminiX]

Francisco Liriano pitched a no-hitter. Too bad JFK, aka Joebob, didn't put him in his starting lineup. That's a 0.00 ERA, a win, a complete game, a shut out, a quality start, and a no-hitter that he didn't get.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

[DemonGeminiX]

I would kill for that kind of result. How often do those opportunities come along? His batters are just starting to play right now, and if they do well tonight he could even the score a bit. If he had played Liriano and his batters do well, he'd be killing me by the end of the night.

:|

[DemonGeminiX]

Today, Trevor Cahill of the Athelics and Josh Tomlin of the Indians will be facing off against each other... and they're both on my roster.

I hope it's a one-hit one-run non-home run game.

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm looking forward to a 17-16 slug-fest :thumbsup:

[DemonGeminiX]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o...........

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Offensive onslaught FTW! :cheerlead:

[DemonGeminiX]

My ERA would be infinity.

:lol:

[deebakes]

my team can't buy a hit this week :shock:

[deebakes]

and apparently can't pitch straight either :mad:

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, it seems my batters have been phoning it in this week as well. I should have about twice as much in the batting categories (in my favor that is... I could deal with less strikeouts). I'm worried about Polanco. The well has been dry the past several days.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Man, my team can't hit to save its life :|

[RBP]

Man, my team can't hit to save its life :|

[DemonGeminiX]

My batters are 1 for 12 so far tonight.

[RBP]

Justin Verlander!! :dance:

[DemonGeminiX]

Articles said that Verlander just missed a perfect game, yet Yahoo gave you the stat. I wouldn't expect that to stand.

[deebakes]

minimum number of batters, 1 walk that turned into a double play. Not perfect... But pretty damn awesome for your stupid team :razz:

I'm not trying to drag you down, man. I'm just saying, when the final number crunch comes at the end of the week, you very well might lose that PG stat. It wasn't a perfect game. Like Dee said, it was close, but no cigar.

Oh I know, I wouldn't expect it to stay either.

[DemonGeminiX]

Either way, that was a wicked performance. Verlander's a monster.

[RBP]

Pena's bat has come alive for the Cubs... that was an exciting finish to the game. If he's finally on now I might have to reclaim him.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

One of these weeks my team will actually hit well :|

you're winning 6-4 on batting including average and slugging %.

As far as I can see, it's your pitching that has to improve.

[deebakes]

my team has taken this week off in the batting department...

[RBP]

How did I get Mush again? the fuck...

[DemonGeminiX]

It's just the way the schedule is set up. I'm facing Lance again this week.

And yet you are still doubling me up this week...yeah, boo hoo for you :roll:

[RBP]

To alcohol!

[DemonGeminiX]

And yet you are still doubling me up this week...yeah, boo hoo for you :roll:

My entire team is playing and about to finish their games right now. The only players I'll have playing tonight are my pitchers, with only one starter that I'm sure will be playing. About 9/10 of your lineup, including the majority of your power hitters, has yet to start playing. The numbers are going to look a helluva lot different around 1am than they do now. So shut yer mouth, Shirley.

:hand:

[deebakes]

dammit, i was counting on lincecum today to help out with my pitching stats :mad

[DemonGeminiX]

So it's just KC @ Detroit and SF @ ChiCubs that's postponed so far.

[DemonGeminiX]

The Cleveland-Seattle game has been postponed.

That makes 3 today.

[deebakes]

D'oh... another missed start...

[DemonGeminiX]

*Plots Curtis Granderson's assassination*

:excellent:

[deebakes]

it's monday for christ's sake :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

I know, but damn did he rip the shit out of Price today. Wow.

[deebakes]

my pitchers can't get anybody out tonight though :(

[DemonGeminiX]

That's ok, neither Cliff Lee nor Roy Halladay can catch a break because the Phillies can't hit the damn ball.

[deebakes]

jimmy rollins 2/4 :shock:

[DemonGeminiX]

jimmy rollins 2/4 :shock:

:lol:

He's the only one.

Pineda's not doing too bad tonight.

[deebakes]

he almost blew it at 5.2 innings in, same as the other two pitchers of mine tonight :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

He got out of it though. You got a quality start out of it.

;)

My batters went .139, 5 for 36.

:no:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

And I had 4 starting pitchers go yesterday....I got a total of 1 win out of them :|

[DemonGeminiX]

Looks like you had to go to the bullpen for all of them. I only had two starting pitchers yesterday. 1 win, 1 no decision. I got some bullpen work, but Mariano Rivera blew his save last night.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I need to fire my team :|

[DemonGeminiX]

:-s

You're leading your series.

[DemonGeminiX]

Jesus Christ, hit the fucking ball, dammit!!!

When did you pick Christ up? Off waivers or was he a free agent? :-k

My batters are 0 for 9 right now.

Dee's gotta know voodoo or something.

[DemonGeminiX]

0 for 11 now. I'm getting the impression it would just be better if I benched all of my players this week.

Nobody on my team has a hit yet either :|

dammit! I swear he wasn't marked to start when I set the lineup. Now I missed a 1.5 ERA, quality start outing. :(

It looks like Todd Helton's been benched for tonight's game. You may want to throw Billy Butler up in his place.

Why does Yahoo say Matt Joyce is being benched when the MLB Tampa Bay lineup page has him as playing?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Thanks :tup:

[deebakes]

doh, first good game out of my canadian 1B and he's on my bench :lol:

My team hit .158 yesterday :|

[DemonGeminiX]

Mine hit .128. And the guys I have are supposed to be able to hit consistently.

[DemonGeminiX]

Capps is gonna piss you off, dude. I had him for 5 weeks. He blew more saves than every other closer I've had combined.

[DemonGeminiX]

I demand that my team bats .400 or above tonight.

[-(

[Cactus]

Can I just bench my whole team the next two days?

[DemonGeminiX]

You could but Lance ain't that far behind you in the majority of the stats. His players could have a really good two days.

[Cactus]

I think I got lucky this week cuz Werth had a huge day yesterday. And I am finally watching Baseball Tonight this season. :dance:

[deebakes]

uh-oh... :lol:

My team hit .200 yesterday :cheerlead:

Some of my batters woke up yesterday, but Dee's on a roll and he's just way too far ahead in some categories. He's gonna have to tank hard and my batters are gonna have to have an unbelievably good day for me to win some of these stats. Personally, I think he's got this week in the bag.

:wha:

[deebakes]

you've got the majority of the pitching stats though, so I'm in catchup mode on those :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Pitching doesn't mean much when you've got two complete games and a shut out, plus a veritable sweep on the batting categories. Like I said, you're gonna have to tank really hard and I'm gonna have to be the recipient of some divine intervention today. Your players are on fire right now.

You tied me in wins last night. Oswalt is just coming back from a long hiatus. He's pitching against Texas today, who're probably all fuming about being shut out by their deserter last night. That doesn't bode well for Oswalt, who's still trying to get his swagger back. You've got Felix Hernandez starting against San Diego. I'm not much for prognostication, but I think the odds are slightly in your favor in that department.

[deebakes]

my batters really only woke up yesterday, otherwise it would be even worse for you :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

No, they were pretty consistent throughout the week, except for the one day where you went 5 for 36 or something like that. They upped the ante yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was just another normal day in most of those player's careers.

[DemonGeminiX]

Ah, gimme a fuckin' break! What a bunch of horseshit! I picked up that outfielder specifically in hopes to get some numbers today and what happens? The fuckin' team gives him the fuckin' day off. Son of a fuckin' whore.

Now I'm in a foul mood.

:meh:

If my team keeps sucking like it did this past week against Dee, then you'll be kicking my ass all over the place as well... starting tomorrow.

Celebrate now, my friend. But beware: You and I shall dance once more before the season is through.

I will have my revenge.

You are so far 0-2 against me :dance:

[DemonGeminiX]

I will not be 0 - 3.

Told ya.
