I hear ya Doughy. Though, by the way most of my fantasy staffs are performing tonight, I think "Set-Up Man Stuff" might be an upgrade.DOUGHBOYS wrote:Not one pitcher from the past or present has been said to have, 'Set-Up Man's Stuff'.
Don't worry Mike, I'll probably be bidding on him next week too.headhunters wrote:there is always yoervis medina.
Arghhh!!!!!!!! Another classic line last night for Mr. Capps. 0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER.Glenneration X wrote:How often does it happen? A closer role opens up towards the end of the week due to injury or ineffectiveness, but by FAAB Sunday all the information to make a clear cut decision on who will be the replacement closer is not available to us. Managers claim the position will be filled by the dreaded committee, there's often more than one option that could potentially fill the role, and of course noone cares that we need these answers by 8pm Sunday.
So we take the information that is on hand and we make an educated guess.
Heath Bell/David Hernandez
Junichi Tazawa/Koji Uehara
Vinnie Pestano/Joe Smith/Cody Allen
Obviously some of us end up guessing wrong, while some others guess right. Which side of the ledger do you think I end up on more often than not?
This weekend, we were given another of these choices.
Carter Capps or Oliver Perez
Once again, I struck out.
Strike one - I chose Capps.
Strike two - Capps is brought into last night's game in the 6th inning, pretty much an acknowledgement that he's not being saved for the 9th.
Strike three - Figuring that I'd better chance striking while the iron is hot since Wilhelmsen's demotion may be a short term one, I put Capps in my lineups including for the Diamond. Last night's ROI: 2/3 inning, 2 hits, 2 walks, 4 ER.
Well, at least I didn't have to sit long in suspense this time. An added benefit to being wrong once again is that I can now drop Capps if I need a spot for the next closer roller of the dice on Sunday.
I hear ya Carter. I made the same face when I saw your box score this morning.

Don't you fret Doughy, Juprinka....I think yesterday's ballgame proves we've got a pretty good stand-in at team ace while our All-Star game starter recovers.DOUGHBOYS wrote:Where's that 'blister' again?Quahogs wrote:Hey Lowry !

A Mets fan no matter what.
Unknowing that the Mets are at a poker table with other players who let them win a hand or two an hour to keep their money in the game.
Worse, in looking at the 'players' around the table, it is a beagle, a chitzuh, and poodle that is beating them like a drum.
