By the way, Odalis Perez has a two-start week this week. Make sure you set your pitching lineups correctly to avoid getting stuck with his score. :D
Interesting that there's only two games between undefeated teams after just one week.
Good luck this week E (even thought I don't really mean it). I hope to break your string of victories over the Marauders. We call it the curse of Cindy "Lou" Who.

Great game by Sir Sidney Ponson for my opponent this week - NY Bombers.
The Bombers are going to get a sense of what real pitching looks like with a double dose of King Felix this week. Kill.

Come on, Nerdlets! You boys are two entire weeks into the season: it's time to start whining & bitching and complaining about Outfielder's assist points awarded or some other REALLY IMPORTANT STAT!!!
You hairless testes haven't had a prolonged Vote in almost a week & a half!!

No votes in over a year, actually! I know; shocking. ;)And, while there's probably always going to be some degree of bitching, moaning, arguing, and debating, for the most part the real rancor has faded and everyone gets along well enough much more than we don't.
And the majority of us agree that this is the best fantasy league we're in. I think George is just still upset that he never managed to get a victory against the tRuth :D
Nice to see Mo come in and give me 3 easy points...
Was that really necessary in a 10-1 ball game? :(
Damn you Jeff Francis.
One dropped suspension, one less start for me.

OTOH, Fredi Gonzalez brings in Julio, who blows the save, instead of Owens. Maybe he'll bring in Owens when the game resumes tonight...
I gotta be happy to be down only 8 points after Robertson's gem yesterday, and I have a start in hand. Hopefully Hirsh can do as well tonight as he did in his first start of 2007.

Yeah well I had six (6) hitters in negative figures yesterday. Don't expect that to happen again from this offensive juggernaut.

Well. Owens came in...Walked two, struck out one. +2 points. Fielder was one of the walks, so it's a +3 for his appearance.
Now if Florida can get the win in this half of the inning... :)

Edit...oh well....Owens got PH for, no runs...

I was worried about my rotation because of the injuries but so many of my gambles are paying off: Looper, Owings, Wells, Belisle, Lowry.. when I get Wang and Weaver back I'm going to have a happy dilemma
Who is this pod person, and what has he done with the real Gil Meche?

It's always nice when you have two starters going head to head and you get 2 QS and a W out of it :D. What would be really nice though is if I had the week's second highest score thus far and had a comfortable lead instead of having the week's second highest score and barely being ahead.

Of all pitchers to have lose a start due to a rainout, why'd it have to be Weaver? :enraged:
Well E, I wish I could feel good about this 46 point lead but I really don't. Anything can happen over the next 3 days.

My All-Star Underachievers need to start performing, pronto.

David Ortiz: 6/29 (.207), 2 HR, 4 RBI
Prince Fielder: 1 HR, 5 RBI

Pat Burrell: 2/10 (.200), 0 HR, 0 RBI
Khalil Greene: 1/11 (.091), 0 HR, 0 RBI
I was really bummed out when I heard the Red Sox game got rained out. You never know when Ortiz can pop off for 20 points. I think he is due.

Can't complain about losing when I have the 2nd lowest points of the week.
-6 from my boy Harang today. They should have let him start the 5th to get miko the W.

That's a chance I was willing to take. He started out OK getting 2 K's in the first inning but then it all went downhill - much like Zach Duke & Dan Haren's starts tonight.

I really wish I could feel bad for you - just not in Weeks 2 or 5. If its any consolation my team decided to take the week off too - Byrnes, Kent & Teahan have a combined 2.5 points so far for me.

Most of the programming is just a bot scrolling thru this subforum.
HOWEVER, tonight @ 8PM ET, GARNC is airing a Ping Pong tournament between Eric and Miko. It's the best of a total of 7345 game matches between these two All-Stars!!!
Per Eric's request, each & every single Ping Pong ball will be measured, weighed, photographed and be given an alpha-numeric designation.

Well....that's not, as we say in the business, completely 'accurate'. He gave up 6. Course it wouldn't have made a difference one way or the other - he'd have lost if he gave up only 1. But it is kinda odd to intentionally walk Daryle Ward to get to Alfonso Soriano when you have two outs and a man on third. I bet Soriano doesn't see that very often.
