Emails from my D.C. often late and appear to be out of order.

Thanks!

I'm an idiot.

I'm signed up for a contest but can't find the ADP tab.

It's only been 6 or 7 years.

Help.

There is a precedent for turn-arounds that may be out of the blue.

Cliff Lee and Jake Arrieta come to mind.

I'm a bit older.....but a bit reminiscent of Thurman Munson and the plane.

Wonder if Sanchez has the time to make a run for ROY?
Who else is there? Fulmer?

Harvey

McCann clears waivers. Yanks continue to clean house. To Mets for Wheeler? McCann does have full no trade clause but he would stay in town and get a crack at the playoffs, no? Especially with the hand writing on the wall. Put Cespedes (when he's finished the back nine) between the Bruce-McCann lefty...

I have no sympathy for anybody who doesn't know or care enough to bid more than 25 bucks on Joey Votto. Hard to imagine any explanation besides complicity.

True

I do feel for those unwitting members of that league (if there were any) that are collateral damage.

This is going to turn into a bobblehead....just watch.

Missed Melvin Upton going on bereavement list late Friday.

Maybe next year we can get a red "B" or something next to their names.

Caught me asleep at the wheel. I knew the Bosox go early on Patriots Day. This one slipped past me and it cost me.

Venting.... At 11:07am Monday found out Papelbon was being activated from dl. Went right to my team to add him to the active roster only to find out that the Nats game had been locked due to an 11am start. 11am!!?? :shock: Since when?? Of course he registers 3 saves this week! And I have him on a co...

I like the idea if only for the fact that I'd love to kick dead wood off at a whim. (Anyone remember what Bill Parcell did with Elvis "Toast" Paterson back in the 80's?) So a team puts in a bid on the DFA Saturday and has to drop a player to accommodate the roster spot. Does that player dropped beco...

Saw him in concert about 10 years ago in Atlantic City. Big fan growing up.

Girlfriend had tickets for a show last year that I couldn't attend. She reported that he was....well...not with it.

Wanted to load up on Yankees in Coors for first half of the week...so of course I'm stupid enough to put in their DH.

Dope.

And Marvin Upton homers on my bench.

While pitching in Chicago: Hammel: 6 ER (26.2 IP) Arrieta: 8 ER (38.0 IP) Lackey: 8 ER (43.1 IP) Hendricks: 9 ER (40.2 IP) Lester: 11 ER (48.1 IP) Shields: 13 ER (7.0 IP) :lol: I have Gio in Chicago tonight. it was either that or Nova in Colorado. Given the streak I'm on...wanna be on the outcome o...

My bench Monday night

Span .600 3R 1HR 1RBI
M. Upton .500 1R 1HR 1RBI
Merrifield .500 2R 1HR 1RBI


Yeah....I'm so smart


At least none of those bastards stole a base and really rubbed it in!

For the record, I would not say no one cares. I care. I did not know he pitched well and got thumbed by some bad breaks. I do not have him rostered so he isn't a pitcher I follow but in a home league, maybe I would consider trading for a guy who via a few bad breaks has numbers that looks worse tha...

Minor observation... Wouldn't make sense if we were researching a player's page for one of our teams, to be able to click over to another one of our teams to see if he available there too? As of now if we switch teams, we need to re-enter the player name and search again. Works nice going from live ...

Maybe signing Jose Reyes and having three leadoff men makes sense...somehow

Wasn't too long ago that the Yankees had Gardner, Ischiro, Brian Roberts and Jeter ...4 leadoff men.
That didn't work too well.

Something's wrong when a pitcher performs as poorly as Familia did and he ends up getting rewarded for it.
There has to be some better statistical alternative.

No afternoon games...I'm bummed.

Girlfriend is staying over tonight..guess I'm watching Star Wars

Sat Cozart thinking that knee would be at least 3-4 days.
