@Steve: I'm not getting to bed for a little while. I got a late start on the roundup.

@Grey: Thank-you. And good night.

@Steve: Yeah, I don't trust catchers on short schedule days. Most times, they do indeed rest.

@Grey: One other possibility is to move Sandoval to 3rd and pick up Doumit, but Doumit usually rests if there is a day game after a night game doesn't he?

@Steve: I'd go Teahen.

@Grey: Thanks. Have gone for Teahen to fill an empty 3B slot for tomorrow. Or is Collaspo a better bet?

@Steve: He has a left wrist issue, which doesn't sound like something that he's just going to be okay with. I wouldn't count on him.

Tough one to answer, but what’s the likelihood of EE being back in the Reds’ lineup tomorrow?

@Grey: You know it!

@Steve: BTW, do you still have J. Upton in?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 03:09:07 +0000

@Steve: Happ outpitched Jurrjens too, I thought Mike G. might get a save chance.

@Steve: Apparently.

And Jensen Lewis is more durable than we thought…

@Grey: Looks like Doumit isn't as worn down as we thought. Don't regret dumping him for Sandoval, though.

@BigFatHippo: Has it been 30 saves? Yikes. Yeah, the Phillies are a possibility too. I don't think their stadium or their pitching would do well in a short series either.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:33:15 +0000

@Grey: I'd be willing to bet the Phillies win the division and the Mets are left to fight for the wild card with the Brewers. Doesn't look like any team wants it. Ahh, what could have been, if only the Cardinals hadn't blown 30 saves.

@cubbies299: I'd go for Werth, instead of Guzman and deal with Tulo. @BigFatHippo: The Brewers and the Mets are both limping into the playoffs but you never know if one of them gets hot in the playoffs. The Brewers are more dangerous in the playoffs (if Sheets is okay), because of their pitching. The Mets don't have the pitching after Johan for the playoffs, in my estimation.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:12:50 +0000

@Grey: So what do we say about the Brewers now? Sveum, wouldn't wanna be em?

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:09:38 +0000

Thanks, also christian guzman is inexplicably a free agent. I could drop Swisher for him and avoid playing Tulo in the championship (I can’t drop Tulo cuz his keepability’s too sexy). He’s yawntacular, I know, but perhaps he helps offset having Uggla, Krispy, and just about every other high-volume K-fiend in the MLB.

@cubbies299: Drop him for Werth. re: Hughes -- No, not worth the headache. @BigFatHippo: Yeah, Zed's Dead is my favorite too. Not surprised that most went for Yost infection. That's probably the funniest. I don't even understand the first one.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:59:31 +0000

@Grey: Blame it on Ned Yost. They do everything else. It's never the players fault. No, I never have Sheets. BTW, I voted for Ned's Dead, Baby. Nice Pulp Fiction reference, Butch.

Couple questions. Would you cut bait on Swisher in a 12-team keeper league? I nabbed him as a poor-man’s Adam Dunn but he’s been playing more like a poor-man’s Jack Cust. I’m in the fantasy finals this year, so drop him for werth or a spot-start to free up space? Also, thanks for the call on Garza. I did not need that ERA after Kazmir’s kapow 2 nights ago. Also, do you see any value for Phil Hughes down the line?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:52:54 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Hope you don't have Sheets. Looks like he might be injured. The Brewers collapse continues.

Billingsley struggling against the Pirates. Here’s hoping Webb bails out my ERA and WHIP.

fuck, grand slam LaRoche.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:43:52 +0000

@Steve: Yeah, CarGo's been real hot. I grabbed him on just about every team. @BigFatHippo: Nah, no one cares at all out here. Especially the people that go to the games.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:39:43 +0000

@Grey: True that.

They don’t really back their teams do they? I mean, unless you’re the Lakers, but then you have to be a celebrity to get good seats.

I remember when the melonheads came here from LA, watermelons on their heads and all. Didn’t really catch on here, people looked at them and thought “what are those fellas doin with perfectly good crops on their head?”

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:37:06 +0000

@Grey: Indeed. Looks like Markakis might have his swing back too. At least until I get him back in my lineup. And a HR for Car-Go today as well!

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:34:16 +0000

@BigFatHippo: BTW, Pence showed up today.

By: Grey

@BigFatHippo: Most of LA didn't know they had a team or that they lost one.

@Grey: Kinda like a Rams game this year eh? Can't believe I own PSLs for those schmohawks, they oughta refund my money. Does Los Angeles want their team back?
