The Llamas are certainly a powerhouse. If I had to pick a team to win it all, though, I'd go with the Aliens. My Expos are definitely the most unlucky team. Third overall in total scoring (next closest team is over 300 pts behind) and just barely holding onto the sixth spot with a 15-14 record.
I'm just flat out cursed: Top picks 1. Prior - injured most of season 2. Hudson - injured several weeks 3. Mussina - worst year ever and injured 4. Pettite - injured most of year 5. Clemens - 6. Percival - injured several weeks 7. Insringhausen - traded before Cardinals got hot
Jent definitely has the upper hand right now, but he's burned alot of SP and RP games doing so. I think it's definitely early to get as cocky as he sounds, there's alot of games left to be played.
Drafting Robb Nen instead of Mark Buehrle has now officially become my biggest fantasy-league regret, moving ahead of my previous one of drafting Mutombo over Marbury two years ago in basketball. Buehrle singlehandedly cost me the win this week with his CGSO and there have been quite a few other games throughout the season which I would have won had he been on my roster (I've kept tabs on him).

It occurs to me that not only am I last in points scored, but I'm also leading the league in points scored against. Wow... what did I do to warrant everyone's wrath?
Needless to say I was thrilled when Buehrle fell that far in the draft, so I grabbed him. You were actually winning our matchup fade, even with Buehrle's huge game. Takatsu won the game for me with his save. However had it not been for Buehrle's big game you would have won easily.
This is the sandbox playoff format. I kind of like it myself. The top 4 seeded teams will compete in the two best of 3 league semi-final series' starting September 6, 2004. Team 1 plays Team 4 and Team 2 plays Team 3. Best of 3 League Semi-Finals Game 1: 9/6-9/9 Game 2: 9/10-9/12 Game 3: 9/13-9/16 The winner of each Semi-Final series will play in a best of 5 series for the League Championship, while the losers will play each other for 3rd place. Best of 5 League Finals Game 1: 9/17-9/19 Game 2: 9/20-9/23 Game 3: 9/24-9/26 Game 4: 9/27-9/30 Game 5: 10/1-10/3

damn you Mags and damn me for sleeping in and not checking on Jeter and Mags status earlier to change my line-up
I have 2 quality 2Bs (Boone & Giles) and 2 exceptional 3B (Chavez & Castilla), and am looking to unload one or two of those guys for a plus SP. All serious offers considered.
fade leads Sam 136-130 fade has Bernie Williams and Johnny Damon to go and Sam has Nomar Lets go Expos....
