I think I get too blinded by my favorites, like I KNOW my fantasy team would be pretty much all Yankees with maybe Albert Pujols  and like Ichiro Suzuki LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL


I made sure I had a system (OPS and DIPS ERA ranks, specifically) so I didn't end up drafting the worst of the Yankees.  I am fortunate enough to be in a league full of Mets fans, so I get to watch them all overstate the value of various Mets players, most notably the Mets' terrible catchers. 

Interesting to see an Ichiro fan who isn't a Mariners fan.  Personally, I can't stand the guy.  He swings the bat like a woman.

Aww, I just dropped Zumaya.  I had him just in case Todd Jones lost the job, but I lost the room for middle relief when my entire outfield collapsed.

The Tigers came from behind (4-1) and then held on to beat the Twins 5-4.  Joel Zumaya got the save, but the Twins had runners at 1st and 2nd in th bottom of the 9th with Joe Mauer at the plate.  Fortunately, he grounded out to end the game.

That was a tough loss.  It's OK to lose to the Rangers 10-9, but losing to them 2-1 is unacceptable. 

My fantasy team just got brutalized by injuries.  Matsui, Ordonez, and Juan Pierre (second in the majors in steals) all hit the DL within 48 hours of each other.  While Chipper is hurt.

So the Rangers hit more runs than any team, but they give up more than any team...and they ARE playing the Yankees  so I Was looking foward to the scoring fest.
Instead, I sit through a 2-1 loss......... Cry

Eh, nobody cares about no-hitters that aren't attributed to individuals anyways.

Jered Weaver threw 6 innings of no-hit ball and the Angels pulled him.  He hadn't even thrown 100 pitches yet.  Jerks. 


And then they didn't even get the no-no because of it only being 8 innings.

The Dodgers ended up winning that game without getting a hit.  It's only the fourth time in the modern era a team has done that.

That was quite a pitching duel in LA.  Between the two starters, 13 innings, 13 K's, 3 hits, and 0 earned runs.

Both on my fantasy team!

I'm sorry to report back that Todd Jones had a blown save, giving up 4 runs in 2/3rds of an inning in the 9th inning.  Fortunately, the Tigers scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to win 7 to 6.

The most ridiculous thing is his K-to-BB ratio: 40:3!

Hughes has got the stuff to be a great pitcher, I don't know what he's doing wrong.  That curveball is a freaking work of art, yet he manages to post horrible, horrible numbers.

They have plenty of time to get better in their careers. Just a matter of when.

He's got some....issues, though.  He must have at least 3 or 4 DWI's under his belt, and he assaulted a judge in Aruba.  There's a reason he started out with two strikes in Texas.

I hear that Roger Clemens is still available. As well as Barry Bonds.

I do hope that Ponson works out for you guys. I guess his whole thing in StL was that he couldn't get along with LaRussa and Duncan. He was a good pitcher for the O's.
