[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.

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

[PinstripePride]

Moose actually did good!

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.....

You wanna trade Zito?

The Ligers Organization would like to welcome their newest member of the Major League available club:

Robinson Cano

The Ligers are hoping he can put up numbers similar to Robby Alomar in his prime.

Join us in congratulating Robinson on his promotion.

[Big_E]

Are you promoting him?

[JDPNYY]

Are you promoting him?

I have a pretty darn good second baseman. I'll have to see how he does this week. It's not a bad position to be in.

[Big_E]

I haven't looked at your l/u to see who you have at 2B. Was just wondering with your announcement if that meant you were promoting Cano or just letting us know you own his rights.

Best Pitchers: Doc's 1.21 Gigawatts (68 points)

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.

[Stupid Flanders]

Back from Coachella, happy to see my boys come through last week and ready to dismantle the bombers and put myself over .500.

[JDPNYY]

Tadahito Iguchi is awesome. My best sleeper pick so far.

[PinstripePride]

Iguchi? Hah. You gotta be kidding me. Just 'cause it's your birthday, don't think you can get away with crap like that.

Kevin Brown is obviously the best sleeper pick.

[miko]

My whole team has been asleep for 4 weeks now.

Let's Go Bombers! Keep it up!

I'd also like to congratulate him on being a 3B on Sportsline

[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]

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

About &*$%! time. And Radke gets a 3-hitter today, too. If I score all my points in one week, can I count some towards August?

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

[PinstripePride]

Where are the power rankings, Kevin?

Slacker.

[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.

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

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

Pfft, only seven innings? McKeon will probably run him out there tomorrow to close a game.

[JDPNYY]

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

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

[Big_E]

It looks like he hit 2 batters as well. (HBP is not included until the final stat load, like QS). He could end up with -24.
