Figgins is on the bereavement list? In Florida to be with his father who suffered a stroke…Will he be back by the end of the week when baseball resumes?

@Mike: Depends who you are dropping and how deep your league is. @Sophie: Fix your hair fellas, there's a girl here. Are you giving away Sizemore? If so, you want more and/or different. Sizemore just did more in the first half than Abreu will do all year and Harden's a sneeze away from an injury. If you're getting Sizemore there, it's good, do it. @Zebo: Take a flier on Aviles. I'm also looking at Bartlett in one league. He should be returning soon. But I'm looking at him for mostly speed.

@Zebo: punting SS... lol . Id go Aviles if I were u.

@Grey: Clint Barmes has been a bust, 0 for infinity it seems since I picked him up. I am seriously considering Aviles or Brendan Harris now. Should I drop Clint Barmes? I knew back in March, that when I missed out on the first 6 SS, that it was going to be trouble for me all year long. O Cab, Yunel and now this. Have you ever heard of anyone punting SS?

@Grey: not worth taking a flier on Pelfrey in your opinion?

Do you think Verlander will keep up his current good pitching into the 2nd half? I was thinking about trading away Soria to get him.

@Mike: Same thing that came over the last three starters to face the Rockies out of Coors. Pelfrey also faced the Giants in his last start.

can somebody tell me whats gotten into Mike Pelfrey?

@BigFatHippo: Thankfully she's not, although we did tie in our matchup a couple of weeks ago. She has already rejected the offer.

@Steve

Playing fantasy baseball with your sister? I hope she’s beating you.

Tell her not to trade Grady for ANYBODY.

Go sis.

@Steve: Why don't the ladies ask us questions directly? Your inclination is correct. I'd want Sizemore there, which I'm assuming is who she's giving away, so not so good.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:10:12 +0000

Guys – My sister plays in my league (and for some reason relies on me for advice) and has just been offered Pena + Abreu + Wheeler for Sizemore.

I think someone closer to Sizemore’s value would need to be included.

I know it’s in a vacuum, but what say you?

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 23:27:40 +0000

Yeah@Grey: Yeah. And I did draft him in the 16th or 17th, so I'm probably getting about what I should expect from him I suppose.

@knighttown: Dump Ramon.

I had waived Aviles for H. Matsui but it doesn’t go thru until tomorrow night. Of course he has a 3 hit, 2 steal day (Sonofabench!) Now I’m thinking I should move one of my THREE catchers. I’ve talked at length about the 7 circles of hell Vicrodguel Saltolivandez has me swimming in this season so who would you waive; Ianetta, Ramon Hernandez or V-Mart? I’m thinking I’ll hang with V-Mart because I’ve waited this fucking long and if he hits .330 the rest of the way I’ll be very pleased. I hate catchers and hope they all need knee replacements.

@Steve: Johnson hasn't been that good recently, but one of those guys isn't exactly a huge upgrade.

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 23:14:16 +0000

Guys – still trying to improve my 2B/SS slots. Any reason to keep hold of Kelly Johnson when both Alexi Casilla and Alexei Rameriez are available?

Can’t work a trade with any bastard in my league (except sending Street for Y Escobar and that ain’t worked out so well)…

K- Rod struck out two in the ninth.

Give me back my wallet bitch, it’s the one that says Bad Mutherfucker.

36 now, but they pinch hit for Bills. Shit.

Hamels, Webb, Kaz, Bills, got a couple outta Franklin and Kobayashi but that’s just fluff.

I worked it to only +5 IP till today. Those guys seem to all pitch on the same day, so my pitching stats resemble an elevator.

@BigFatHippo: 35 Ks? Damn. Who did you have going?

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:21:06 +0000

@knighttown

By all means, Godzilla much better play than Kaz. Who would drop him?

@Grey
Good call on Webb, didn’t get a win or loss but his numbers offset Hamels’. Plus, gives me 35 Ks today, so far.

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:00:46 +0000

@knighttown: Okay, just went to look at your team. Guillen's been bad for two weeks and Bruce has upside. I could see dropping Guillen instead.

Sorry, it’s Hideki.

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:51:57 +0000

@knighttown: I agree with Hippo.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:04:13 +0000

@knighttown

Kaz you’re talking about?

Wouldn’t drop Polanco if you’re worried about BA.

Drop Bruce if he’s riding your bench.

By: knighttown

knighttown — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:35:40 +0000

Picking up Matsui on waivers seems like a no-brainer for a guy with a team .262 BA? Drop Aviles, Polanco or Bruce?

There’s a Joe Morgan Idiotic Comment Drinking Game?

Count me in…………………

I’ll go get a 30 pack, it’ll take at least that much.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: TWIR is on Rudy. Complain to his "I'm trying a day date so I may not have time to write the TWIR" ass. Expand on Joe Morgan Drinking Game.
