Looks like you got it locked up fade. Whitesox-Phillies rainout kills me. Velverde may get you a save as well.
A Wagner save would have made things more interesting, but I'll take it. This win couldn't come at a better time as my team has been slumping badly.
Hard to believe my 4 starters were not enough against Pedro and RJ Bellhorn is 3rd in OBP of all 2nd baseman in MLB, yet Boston starts Pokey Reese instead. Go figure
Fade, I want to add Dave Roberts, but he's unavailable. It looks like the same situation as last time.
Adam Kennedy with an 18 pitch at-bat to help spur Kevin Gregg to victory! Do you believe in miracles?!?
Check this out...Trader_Idiot has made the funny papers: I want to post this somewhere, but I know if I start a thread with it it'll get locked. But rest assured, this will make it into the Hangout Forum soon.
Since I'm playing SSG's team this week, I thought I would revisit the trade our two teams made. On 5/16, the Steamrollers traded Kevin Brown and Richard Hidalgo to the Tools' for Carlos Beltran. Since that trade... Beltran has scored 49 points since the trade, or 7 points per matchup. Could be traded to a contender soon, which would up his value. Brown has scored 41 points since the trade. Currently out with a back problem and could be headed to the DL. Hidalgo has scored 11 points since the trade, and currently sucks arse. I realize you can't consider this in a vacuum, because you have to look at whom these guys replaced in the lineup, but overall, I'm feeling pretty good about this trade.
Brown's back has worried me from the beginning. I think you made a wise move trading him even though Beltran has slumped a bit.
Interesting scenario my team just faced. Dotel on the mound, bases loaded, Geoff Jenkins up to bat. A HR in this situation would give me 12 points for the grand slam minus 4 runs, a hit, and a blown save for Dotel, or -10, resulting in a net gain of 2 points for my team. Instead, Jenkins struck out, giving me point for the out and a point for the K to Dotel and a -1 for Jenkins, resulting in a net gain of 1 point. In that one at bat, the difference between a grand slam and a strike out was one point.l
Nah, it only took me 1 SP (Penny) to beat your 3 (Brown, Wells, Wright) last time we matched up. And through 19 weeks, you both had started more SP games than me, Bob* by a good 5 games. I'll stick to my standard 5 man rotation until it's proven wrong, and let yall fight for 3rd place in the division.
