It's not like you have a very big climb in the batting department. You've been keeping pace with me in the majority of the categories and we've been neck and neck in the average and slugging percentage almost everyday. If Konerko would get a few damn hits for me today, I'd be happy, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I hate not having a first baseman that can hit consistently. I like the fact that Sizemore and Utley are back off the DL, but until they both get their timing down, they're kinda useless to me right now.

It doesn't look like you're going to get much out of Jackson today, he's already lost the quality start against Toronto. I was watching the game. Bautista is abusing your man.

Although you having 4 starting pitchers tomorrow looks pretty formidable.

I added the 4th starter to try and have a huge day to catch up, hopefully the bats come alive too! You think it's close, but I think you're pretty locked in; it would take some serious rallying to get that back to even.

Nah, overall my batters should be hitting better than they are. I've added two batters who've been streaking to try and get a little more production in my lineup, but that's a crapshoot at best. So far, one of them isn't working out, although if Konerko gets a day off tomorrow, at least I'll have another first baseman to take his slot. I think if you have one really good day either today or tomorrow, or both for that matter, you take over.

Ah! Konerko got a double and was driven in to score a run. Jackson got the lead back from Toronto and Villanueva is starting to look like shit.

[RBP]

Go Jackson! :woot:

Woohoo! 2 players playing, 2 hits, 1 double, 1 run!

I sat McCutchin and he's 2/4 with a 2-run HR. Damn Cubs! :x

Doesn't look like you're getting much love behind the plate today. I see three catchers in your lineup: one's on the DL (I think Posey's out for the season, btw), and the other two have been benched.

Yeah, I really need to drop Orlando Cabrera. He's been costing me more than he contributes.

[DemonGeminiX]

:-s

Looks like they took the error away. The stats even again.

[RBP]

I am showing 15-6

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, it is now, but it was 14 - 7. Orlando Cabrera was originally charged with an error giving you a 2 - 3 edge in the stat, but the error was apparently taken away and the stat was returned to even, going back to 15 - 6.

[RBP]

It was an error! :x

[DemonGeminiX]

:-s

Orlando Cabrera must've heard my threat. He got a hit and drove in 2 RBIs.

The son of a bitch drove in one of your players! Our runs are tied now.

Well, Prince Fielder's no longer a threat. The Indians need one more out to end the game. Just got to focus on your other guys.

Yep, so far, Dee's been my Achilles heel. I've got one more chance, unless he and I both make and meet in the playoffs.

But there's a flip side to your threat. If Dee keeps beating me week after week, you'll never get back on top of your division.

Just noticed one of your four starting pitchers is Justin Verlander for Detroit. So I guess you're hoping that he gets a win against Boston today, right? Maybe a no hitter? A perfect game, even? So those Boston guys won't be hitting squat against him?

:doh: I don't know what I want then. :lol:

It looks like Justin Verlander and Yovani Gallardo are your best chances to get wins today. Danks is 0 - 7... maybe he's due, but I wouldn't expect it. Haren is below .500 in his career against Minnesota, but Haren is also doing really good for LA this year. But then again, it could turn out to be one of those freaky days where everything gets turned on it's head and nothing we expect to happen actually happens.

Personally, I'm expecting my 2 pitchers to go 1 - 1 today. Zach Britton should win this game for the Orioles today, but then again, it is Oakland he's pitching against. History says that Jurrjens tanks against Cincinnati, but he's been the Brave's best starting pitcher so far this season so maybe, maybe not. I'd like to get two wins, but I just don't expect it to happen. But then again, I could get 2 no decisions or even worse... 2 losses.

So you never know what's gonna happen.

:dunno:

[RBP]

well fuck, Ortiz is scratched for game 1. :|

[RBP]

Last minute adjustments! Here we go cubbies here we go :clap:

:dunno:

and now I bet the cubs get rained out. :doh:

Oh, you gotta be fuckin' kidding me! You worthless fucking sons of a bitches! I'd rather have my ass handed to me all week long than to lead all week and be edged out at the last minute because my team full of useless assholes tanked on the final day.

This is complete and utter bullshit.

Ok, here's what I want, Verlander: Blank Elsbury and Ortiz, but let the rest of the Red Sox's lineup launch homers throughout the game.

Hey Cueto: Blank Martin Prado as well. And dammit, Jurrjens, strike everyone on the Reds lineup out!!!.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please...



:lol:

[RBP]

you have night games left still?

[RBP]

I found it... one hitter one pitcher

[DemonGeminiX]

you have night games left still?

Just one batter (Detroit's Peralta), and one (Atlanta's starter Jair Jurrjens), maybe two (Atlanta reliever Jonny Venters) pitchers.

[DemonGeminiX]

Son of a bitch, Peralta's not in the lineup. I'm at the mercy of your batters striking out.

[RBP]

3 hits and it's even baby :dance:

2, Elsbury got a hit... the rat bastard.

That was a damn good comeback you staged. I couldn't even watch the final two games. I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark instead. :oops:

Good luck against Lance tomorrow. See you again in week 13.

[DemonGeminiX]

Wow, my pitchers got jacked up today.

:wha:

[RBP]

Hey DGX:

DH David Ortiz finished May with a bang. Ortiz belted a three-run home run in the eighth inning against White Sox LHP Will Ohman, marking an appropriate ending to a monster month. In 28 games in May, Ortiz batted .342 (38-for-111) with 10 home runs, 16 RBI and a .694 slugging percentage.

Yeah, it seems you've benefitted well from my castoffs, except when playing against me.

Both Ortiz and Ellsbury (I had him in the beginning of the season as well) stepped up, but then again, the whole Red Sox lineup seems to be on fire right now.

I am debating if it's better to just bench Jackson (CWS) because Verlander is pitching (DET)

Well, Lance, RBP, DMX, you and I seem to be paying attention. GF, Mush, and JoeB not so much. I am really surprised JoeB isn't. :(

this isn't perfect because it only shows when you made your last change. Not when the last time you check the league was.

If JoeBob's not currently paying attention, then his strategy's working really well right now, because he's giving me a run for my money.

Kick his butt, RBP. Put him back on the bottom of the standings.

How can you try too hard at this? The players you choose to be on your team either hit or they don't hit. Either they pitch well or they don't. That's just the way it is.

The people that are having good luck by ignoring their team are having that...luck and nothing more. They benefited from a good draft, having players possibly playing above their potential, and by not being bitten by the injury bug to starting players (I've had a ton of that this year :wha: )

I'm actually thinking of bumping up the minimum innings pitched again because everyone that is actually paying attention to their teams are shattering the 24 inning minimum and I really don't think it's fair that some people committed to play and are not paying any attention whatsoever and just being the benefit of luck. There should be a penalty for not monitoring your team. I mean come on, you can set your line-up as far advance as you want, you can't check your team once a week? :wha:

[DemonGeminiX]

Increasing the minimum innings pitched won't solve anything. The lowest innings pitched currently belongs to RBP and we both know he's paying attention. Everybody else has above 40.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

But RBP has two starting pitchers going today, barring horribly bad outtings by both pitchers, he should break 50 innings. And that doesn't count any possible innings thrown by his relievers.

Did you just say my pitching staff sucks? I think you did. :|

But still, it's possible to break 50 without attending. GF is certain to do it today.

I don't know what to tell you, bro. I mean, I don't like the idea of somebody just getting lucky without paying attention, but really what can you do?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I can go in as commissioner and bench all their players :shifty:

Now, that would be something: Everyday, your players start on the bench and you have to log in and set your lineups like real managers do. Enough of this convenient "set your lineups three days in advance" bullshit.

Hey, I sometimes set my lineups three days in advance. I usually set mine the night before. I am on the westcoast if don't sometimes I don't have time to check who's play in early afternoon east coast games.

[RBP]

I think it is what it is. If I decide to leave my lineup alone, so be it. If I decide to swap out 6 players a week, so be it. I sat a pitcher yesterday intentionally.

[DemonGeminiX]

If I had played 2 batters instead of benching them, I would've won. I had them both in the lineup, but decided against it at the very last minute. It's currently tied, but he has one starting pitcher left pitching and is currently winning that game. If that pitcher gets through the 6th without giving up 2 runs, he wins the week by one quality start. If my pitchers hadn't tanked all week, it would be over already. And strangely enough, even though it's just a game and completely meaningless in the long run, I'm seriously pissed about it.

I know how you feel. I used to get pissed in the AS football league. Since I don't really follow baseball, I am looking at this league as pure fun, but I get frusated when I try update my line up and still lose

It's not about losing, it's about having these supposed aces in my starting rotation, and none of them are living up to their potential. And seriously, the majority of my starting pitchers are considered aces. I can take one losing every once in a while, but it's like none of them could win during the week. I should have like 7 quality starts, because that's what my pitchers do, they keep the other team's score low through 6-7 innings before the team goes to the bullpen for the relievers. That's my starters' M.O. They keep the score low. I could be losing all week long and not be bothered by losing, as long as my pitchers are living up to their "ace" titles. I can accept that my batters aren't hitting, because I know I screwed up the draft when selecting batters. That's why I've turned over so many players, because I'm looking for batters that can compete with everybody else. And I think that trading some guys out here and there is ok when I'm looking for those puzzle pieces to fit in my lineup. Now, I've turned over a few pitchers here and there, but I've kept the core pitching rotation that I've selected in the draft in my lineup from day 1. And I really need them to perform. When they don't perform, it just makes me mad.

I have no problem with the people who want to set their line-ups a few days in advance, hell even a week in advance is fine. Not everyone can always get to a PC to watch the line-ups, so I have no problem with that. My problem is that there were people that said they were going to participate, even seemed excited about having a league, and then don't check their team for a month or more, if ever.

Yes, but that's a conscious decision you made yesterday, not the way your line-up happened to play out because it hasn't been changed since the draft.

I really haven't been paying attention to anyone else roster besides my own. (mostly because my baseball knowledge isn't stat based. I truly don't know who makes a great fantasy player. alot of baseball stat make no sense to me, and the money ball way of looking at things is over my head.) But geez, you do have some really big name pitchers. You also have the whole Phillis rotation.

Look on the bright side, you are in third place overall with your issues with your hitters. Your pitcher have had one bad week. Next week they will be back tocarrying your team. :D

4 out of 5 ain't bad.

My hitters aren't that bad, either. They might not be big name guys, but overall, they produce. I might not have been able to measure up this week against the majority of you guys in the hitting department, but I've had weeks where my core hitter's production have made the competition cringe. Maybe next week will be different.

Thanks Dee.

do you even understand how the standings work? it appears as though it is straight up win % over loss %, but the GB column doesn't make sense to me :-k ...










I have been drinking though :oops:

[Cactus]

I don't know either, but it took me two week to figure out the win-loss-ties was based on the stats. Not just the head to head match-u[\p

I never took you for a drinker.

Anyway, the percentage is number of wins divided by number of wins + number of losses. The ties are disregarded.

Games back = (absolute value((difference in wins) - (difference in losses)))/2

I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Edit: fixed a mistake.

that's why it's bad news DGX :lol: long day with the kids out at the pool at the health club (i love milfs :oops: ) and BBQ before i head out of town on business for a few days :axe:
