Costas could not possibly be more over the top about Strasburg. He was saying early on how if Strasburg lived up to his potential that he would not just be a Hall of Famer but an historic player. Maybe the kid earns it. Maybe he's Doc Gooden, Roger Clemens and Nolan Ryan all rolled into one. Or mayb...

Watching a bullpen blow an 8th inning 8-1 lead for one of your starters.....

The one that makes me laugh the most is:



Coke - Hamilton

His name might be spelled "Ethier" but it's pronounced "Ow! My pinky!"

Don't forget about Simons meltdown Sat. night to blow Matusz's Win. I don't own Simon or Matusz in any league I am in but I feel your pain. Bullpens are the bane of any fantasy players existence.

Two weeks in a row we lost out on good young rookies by $10 or so. This week we lost John Baker to the DL and went $145 on Max Ramirez. Other options were ugly and holy crap fugly! Next closest bid was $10. Sigh... In my league, Ely went for $156 - next closest bid was $56 [ May 16, 2010, 10:51 PM: ...

What the article fails to mention is Glenn's OTHER team in the Classic (AC 1 - League 1) that is currently in last place in the league. I'm just poking a little fun at him. We drafted next to Glenn in the first weekend. He is a super nice guy and I wish him nothing but good enough luck to come in 2n...

I am lifelong Yankee fan and love watching baseball. If there is a game on, I'll have it on in the background while I read, surf the net, whatever. If it's a Yankee that's game on, I'm normally on a Yankee message board debating something or another.

A perfect game! I guess that really is his mound out there!

Have to agree here. If I want to find out what team has a player I need to go to the roster grid? That's kinda silly.

Not a Wells owner but I'd like a refund on Scott Kazmir please. Thanks. :rolleyes:

Sore groin seems to be the injury of the week.

It's been a brutal couple of weeks pitching wise. Edwin Jackson, Norris and most notably Johan Santana and so many others have gotten just hammered!

Let me just say that it's a good thing Edwin Jackson was not within strangulation range of me after that 2nd debacle last week.

I have the same problem on IE, both IE 7 on my work computer and IE 8 on my home one. Guess I have to dl Chrome or Firefox?
