[patrick.o]

Wolverines are going down!!!!

[patrick.o]

The rest of the tRuth Division is playing intra-division games. I have no one to root for

Go ties!

[patrick.o]

Jon Garland is now the second highest scoring player in the league 5 points behind Mr 5 inning complete game guy.

Jacks face the Squeaks for a rematch of week 2. I have a feeling my team is gonna be caught napping.

I have a feeling that your game is the only one that the league is going to be hearing about this week. I think there are only 2 teams in the league anymore - the Squeaks and who ever is playing the Squeaks. Kev - you are getting a little full of yourself I think.

[patrick.o]

So Rich Harden's team and Fancisco Cordero's team faced each other today.....and Harden got the loss and Cordero got the save....and Harden scored what looks to be 39 while Cordero got a whopping 2

Man - no response from K-Dawg. I was only kidding about kicking your dog buddy - I swear.

Well after Day 1 the Marauders are already down by 51 points. Maybe the Soriambi Power Rankings aren't as far off as I thought.

Only 49. And you have one more start than I do the rest of the week.

[patrick.o]

Well, today is the 1st half of seeing if the big gamble pays off. Chris Young starts against Oakland while Zito rides the bench for his Yankee start later in the week.....

I love pitchers.

The good news is that the same three guys that netted me these 68 points each have a start remaning this week. And Sheets and Isringhausen aren't even active right now.

[Hitman23]

You wanna trade Zito?

[patrick.o]

You wanna trade Zito?

Only for another starter. If you have something in mind, send me an offer.....

[miko]

My whole team has been asleep for 4 weeks now.

[yankeesrule2000]

Let's Go Bombers! Keep it up!

[patrick.o]

my team performs oral favors on goats

[PinstripePride]

Starting Kevin Brown over Josh Towers was a 44 point mistake.



My bullpen came up HUGE tonight though, with 24 points.

Wow, that SUCKED. Good thing I racked up 100+ points Monday. I had two guys sit on the bench yesterday, none of my pitchers pitched, including K-Rod even in a save situation after not pitching the day before. WTF. At least I still have 5 starts left. It would also be nice if Hideki started to show up for the games.

[Stupid Flanders]

Worst Pitcher: Tom Glavine, Springfield Nuclear Powerplant (-15 points)

Great job by Tom again killing a good performance by the surprisingly effective Admiral Halsey

[bakntime]

The new Soriambi power rankings are up. And I might add, they appear completely unbiased, as the Squeaks are ranked #2, despite being 14th in points scored, and being currently the lowest scoring team this week.

I think they looked alright til he got to the Squeaks for week 4.

Last year's results mean crap! It seems that is the only thing keeping the Squawks in the Top 10. Check out the sportsline power rankings for a better measure.

They look pretty good to me too.

I think it's safe to say I'll win this week.

Did Paul Wilson break records tonight?

0.0 Ip, 8 ER. -22 points so far.

-23 points (Jake Westbrook, 4/27/05) is the record.

Wow....Willis FINALLY doesn't pitch a complete game!

Dang, the Paulster came oh so close. The quick hook did him in.

Your pitching staff alone is crushing me

Important lesson here, John. Always talk smack at the beginning of the week because you may not get the chance later on!

[PinstripePride]

MOOOOOOOSE!!!!!

[Stupid Flanders]

Looks like this may come down to how well the Admiral does against the Bucs

[PinstripePride]

KB redeems himself! 28 points.


The Lumberjacks continue to romp.

[yankeesrule2000]

Looks like i got the win

I didn't mean to insinuate anything Steve

I didn't even know you were gay and I have no problem with anyone's sexual orientation

Yeah me too Steve. If you are in fact gay then I am sincerely sorry for totally trashing you and hats off to you for being comfortable with the decision to make your sexuality public. My best friend in college was gay but it was well after we parted ways that I found out he was gay. I could not bear to think of how hard it must have been to live in a house with 6 other guys where every insult is either directed at your mother or your sexuality.

[PinstripePride]

Guys, Steve isn't gay.

[Clive]

Guys, Steve isn't gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[JDPNYY]

It's Week 6.

Guys, Steve isn't gay.

Yeah I knew that
