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.

[Big_E]

Interesting that there's only two games between undefeated teams after just one week.

[miko]

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.

[patrick.o]

Starting an injured catcher this week...

I hope you don't have very much good luck, Fanders.

[Stupid Flanders]

I have the ever dangeous Braden Looper for two starts. HOW COULD I POSSIBLY LOSE

man i need my pitchers to get off the DL with a quickness...

[Coney36]

I was at the Pirates/Cards game today. Who knew Looper can pitch that well?!

[Coney36]

Hey Eric, looks like Lidge lost his job to Wheeler...

[Big_E]

Hey Eric, looks like Lidge lost his job to Wheeler...

Did I mention Lidge is a worthless piece of sh** ?

[Stupid Flanders]

I was at the Pirates/Cards game today. Who knew Looper can pitch that well?!

I did, when I drafted him.

[Stupid Flanders]

Wheeler was became the Astros closer before the game, replacing struggling Brad Lidge.

Yep, it's Sportsline.

[patrick.o]

The Giants batters are a bunch of ass monkeys

[Yanksagain]

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.

[Hitman23]

Lastings Milledge for free? I'll take that.

(what was that about?)

[Clive]

Lastings Milledge for free? I'll take that.

(what was that about?)

I have no bench room.

[miko]

I have no bench room.

Cough Cough....Matt Garza....

[Clive]

Cough Cough....Matt Garza....

Let's hear it for Sidney Ponson!

[Big_E]

Cough Cough....Matt Garza....

Or anyone on his bench...Shawn Hill...Corey Hart...

[Clive]

Or anyone on his bench...Shawn Hill...Corey Hart...

I'm waiting for Claudio Vargas to implode too.

This will happen eventually, I'm sure of it.

[Big_E]

I'm waiting for Claudio Vargas to implode too.

This will happen eventually, I'm sure of it.

Is he related to Brad Lidge or Jorge Julio?

[Clive]

Is he related to Brad Lidge or Jorge Julio?

No, but I hear he's pretty good friends with Jeff Weaver. I think that's close enough.

[miko]

Is he related to Brad Lidge or Jorge Julio?

Nice grab of Henry Owens by the way E.

[Big_E]

Nice grab of Henry Owens by the way E.

Thanks. Hopefully he pays off.

[miko]

Thanks. Hopefully he pays off.

Yeah just not this week or week 5.

[Big_E]

Yeah especially this week and week 5.

Why thanks, Miko. Very nice of you to say.

[Stupid Flanders]

I can't wait for J. Weaver to come off the DL so I can waive J. Weaver

[miko]

I really hope you spank my ass this week Miko. You deserve the win.

Why thanks E - its so much nicer in here when everyone gets along.

Horsecrap!!! It SUCKS!!!

It's a LOT better when you Gaggle of Geeks argue about EVERYTHING!!!

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!!
Come ON!!!

[Big_E]

Robertson taken out after 86 pitches.

Phew.

[miko]

Robertson taken out after 86 pitches.

Phew.

Great decision.

[Soriambi]

You hairless testes haven't had a prolonged Vote in almost a week & a half!!
Come ON!!!

No votes in over a year, actually! I know; shocking.

[Big_E]

Nice to see Mo come in and give me 3 easy points...

[patrick.o]

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

[miko]

Nice to see Mo come in and give me 3 easy points...

Was that really necessary in a 10-1 ball game?

[Clive]

Damn you Jeff Francis.

One dropped suspension, one less start for me.

[Big_E]

Was that really necessary in a 10-1 ball game?

OTOH, Fredi Gonzalez brings in Julio, who blows the save, instead of Owens. Maybe he'll bring in Owens when the game resumes tonight...

[Big_E]

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.

[miko]

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

[Yankchic22]

Does anyone know where Sax is?!?!?!

[Big_E]

Does anyone know where Sax is?!?!?!

England.

[miko]

Does anyone know where Sax is?!?!?!

Why did he miss your weekly "Set Lineup" meeting?

[Saxmania]

You hairless testes haven't had a prolonged Vote in almost a week & a half!!
Come ON!!!

George's real problem - elective dysfunction. Ithankyou.

Does anyone know where Sax is?!?!?!

Ha! Ask your girlfriend where I . . . wait, that doesn't work on any number of levels.

Sorry, I'm around. Internet access a bit hazy, but I'm still here to add non-sequiturs and swear at Shawn Green (which I think makes me an honorary Met fan - gah!)

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

[Big_E]

OTOH, Fredi Gonzalez brings in Julio, who blows the save, instead of Owens. Maybe he'll bring in Owens when the game resumes tonight...

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...

[Big_E]

Another inning, another K....+6 so far...let's go Marlins!

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

Still, +6 is good.

[Hitman23]

f*cking incredible. thanks stupid moose and your stupid injury.

[Coney36]

f*cking incredible. thanks stupid moose and your stupid injury.

On the one hand, I'm glad you didn't get more points. On the other hand, I didn't want that to be the reason...

[miko]

On the one hand, I'm glad you didn't get more points. On the other hand, I didn't want that to be the reason...

I think you speak for all of us.....except maybe Pete.

[Hitman23]

On the one hand, I'm glad you didn't get more points. On the other hand, I didn't want that to be the reason...

I have an odd feeling it's going to be one of those years for me. Plagued with injuries and lack of performance.

[Yankchic22]

This lack of communication is killing me

[Yanksagain]

King Felix showed who the real pitcher was at Fenway Park last night.
The Kill keeps piling on the points in Week #2.

[Stupid Flanders]

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
