I trotted McGeeheehee out there every day for a half a season waiting for him to bust loose, and finally dumped him for Edwin. I see where he is still on waivers in my league, is he any kind of second half player at all?

@Grey: Ah yes. I forgot you sleep in a hammock. BTW - the NZ dollar hit 88 US cents the other day - it's in full retreat now though.

@Steve: I don't own stocks, or a mattress.

@Grey: Thanks. Hope you sold all your stocks yesterday and put the money under the mattress.

@Steve: Hmm...Both aren't bad... Let's go Cobb... @DHill Dragons: Gotcha

@Grey: I was peeved about Santana's 4 K's the night before and the negative 4 points that it netted me. I had a hunch that Wilson Ramos was due for a good game at Coors so I played him. I played J J Hardy at Utility tonight and he homered for me. Santana will be back in my lineup tomorrow where he'll go 0-3 with a walk and a K. That's life.

@Grey: 3 of them have gone 0/5, 1 has gone 1/5 and another 1/6. It's like a train wreck. Anyway, do you prefer Cobb at home to the A's on Saturday or Maholm at home to the Padres. It's H2H...

Grey — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:27:40 +0000

@Killer Joe: Gordon, Gardner, Jennings, Jones or Werth... For Beckett, in that order. Unless you need steals, then back off Gardner. @Steve: Damn @DHill Dragons: On a short shcedule day, I'm surprise you were able to bench Santana. Didn't you have a UTIL spot? @nyydj2: Go with Pedro... Ha!

BTW, has Heyward, you know, mentioned that maybe Glass Skippy might want to man up a little and get back in the lineup and help the team?

Hey Grey- been working 60-70 hours every week lately, summer is my gravy train. Unfortunately it takes away from my ability to maintain an Al K like amount of time as a fantasy baseballer. Still maintaining my wire to wire in my RCL and 4th Overall but I’m feeling the walls closing in on me. And Al K. lol. No, I did not really laugh out loud.

Anyhoo, Molina spit a bit of shit and now I’m short on O, the cats I can still make ground in, need to drop someone for an Ianetta or Martin (seems like he’s hitting better again). Have Glass Skippy and Pedro holding down 3rd for A-Rod, one has to go. Skippy may be back tomorrow for his second game in a month. Pedro might hit a homer again sometime in the next month. Who should go for who?

Honest to god this is the first game all season that I benched Carlos Santana when he was in the Indians lineup.

Figures that he would go 3-4 with a HR, 3 RBI’s, 2 runs and a walk.
Oh and no strikeouts, I guess he got those out of his system last night when he K’d 4 times. I love fantasy, I hate fantasy, I love fantasy, I hate fantasy…

I have had 7 guys go 0-fer in the RCL today. And the day ain’t over.

Hitting .254 for a 1 in the category – the next team is at .257.

I was hitting .262 at the ASB. My team has stopped playing!

Well I didn’t really mean any of them, I just listed them all to give an idea of depth. Basically I guess, which OFs will be less valuable the rest of the way. I offered that trade, we’ll see. Thanks Grey

@Killer Joe: Really? Any of them? Trade Gordon for Beckett. @Exactly: Upton side. @herschel: Hope so.

Also, who do you like better of those two pitchers for the rest of the year?

By: Killer Joe

Killer Joe — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 02:14:34 +0000

Grey, would you trade any of these OFs for Beckett or Gio?

Adam Jones, Alex Gordon, Werth, Gardner, Jennings, Stanton, Crawford, Hamilton.

@GD Grammar Dammer: No worries, just a long day. @Exactly: Vazquez @Steve: Ha @tHe sHiT: I'd hold for now. @pipa: Maybin @chata: He was on a strict pitch count. re: unions -- Ha! @Exactly: Upton? BJ?

The Fist ‘er Furbush trade might not ultimately get either side off, but it sure feels good for starters.

@Steve: Is this the guy that also owns Santana and Hafner? Yeah, that's him.

@Grey: Sorry.

Too much vodka + a lame attempt to be funny.

Won’t happen again.

The compliment on the ‘stache was sincere, though.
