@Grey: Don’t know if you recall, but I asked you yesterday if Kuroda was worth a pickup for today?

Shoulda done – although he would assuredly have been torched had I done so. Kuo got a 2-inning save for me though

Anyone know who’s getting the call for SD on Saturday with Young on the DL? Although my ratios are so shot, I don’t think even a perfect game can help me…

@Steve: Devine's been about as solid as anyone. Yeah, I'd grab him.

By: Steve

Steve — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 02:40:59 +0000

@Grey: Just picking up from our forum conversation, with Downs down, is Devine worth owning again?

@Grey: Damn, another Texas Ranger pitcher (Tommy Hunter) that I missed out on for my Razzstaff. If only Texas could develop a starting pitcher. Oh wait, Volquez, Denks, and Tall Chris Young. In return, Hamilton, McCarthy, and Eaton. I thikn I'd rather have Josh Hamilton pitch than those two....if Hamilton pitched, I'd be afraid to start him in Razzball...

@Grey:

I know, I know.

But career at Fenway, 4.66-1.31…….not Halladay like.

I’ll roll him out there if you’re willing to face the wrath of Hippo.

If you get a Hippo trapped in a cave and his eyes turn red, leave him trapped.

I agreed – One team in my league changed tactics and swept up the Gios, Volstad’s, Nolasco Starts next week. Damn it – two weeks ago they would have gone under the radar. I may just stand pat, roll Harang out there or pick up a closer with seven games, if there are any.

@BSA: Yikes. Um... Punt? Reyes, Francis, punt. But I don't want any, just so you know.

By: BSA

BSA — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:44:20 +0000

With Chris gettin the boot off my team which 2 start pitcher next week?
A.Reyes, D. Davis, Francis, Fogg, Rogers – a closer
Geez could Ziegler be thrown in for Save and K points as opposed to Wins and PS/innings?

@Nick: BTW, not sure if you're watching the Mets game, but the Nats look like the Bad News Bears. I haven't seen plays that bad in a long time.

@BigFatHippo: He has a 2.70 ERA vs. Boston this year.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:40:51 +0000

@Nick: That's a Kazaam! You can make that move if you like, but Hanararanananan could get two saves this weekend and Balfour might get the Rays' saves. Wheeler is a better pitcher than Haranananan and Balfour, but it's risky.

@Grey:

Boston scares me man, his career #s there aren’t good either. I have Webb and Bills going too and +12 IP.

Fish or cut bait, I don’t know what to do. I’ll go with gut feeling at gametime. Meaning I’ll probably start him.

BTW

Lowrie, Freddy, Wiggy currently 8 for 12. Should have a 10 in average and OBP after tonight.

Apologize if this is old news but just saw it pop up in CBS

@Grey: What do you think about dropping Hanrahan for Wheeler now, haha? I don't think Hanrahan is going to do me any good considering the Nats are not winning many compared to Tampa Bay...

By: Nick

Nick — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:36:42 +0000

Sonofabitch….Nats put in Hanrahan in a non-close situation and the mets are about to mess him up

@BigFatHippo: The Halladay you just traded for? Have you seen his numbers this year? Don't sit Halladay.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:21:28 +0000

@Grey:

.407 not good.

You’re “simultaneously sucking and blowing.”

Like my ex-gash, with somebody else.

What do you think about sitting Halladay tomorrow?

I know you’re gonna say “I never sit Halladay” but man, Red Sox are hot.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:05:51 +0000

@Nick: Eh, you’re liable to drop Gonzalez and then he gets three saves this weekend. I wouldn’t make a drop there.

@BigFatHippo: Please. My Razzball team’s at .407 for today. I got Headley and Mitch Maier both at 2-for-3 respectively. But I need to accrue some at-bats or I’ll be penalized. As is stated here:

By: Nick

Nick — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:01:28 +0000

Hey Grey would you drop M. Gonzalez or J. Hanrahan for D. Wheeler? I also have Hoffman, B. Wilson & Torres but I’m not dropping any of them.

Sorry, just did a spit-take and blew a frosty beverage all over my keyboard looking at Tommy Hunters line.

Had to mop it up with the cat. The quicker picker upper. Her name is Bounty.

You should be sitting Cesar when he’s hot, just got another base hit.

I bet your Razzball team has a better avg than my RCL team, .245 can you believe it?

Ludwick just hit #30 BTW.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:43:47 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Ha! He's currently killing my Razzball team. Him and Freddy Sanchez and Chone Figgins and... Ugh, everyone's been hot recently. My Razzball team's been out hitting my regular team. Not good. But I did have Tommy Hunter go today. Go ahead, look up his line from today's game.

@Grey:

Yes, we wouldn’t be talking about him if he weren’t on my team.

(Did I just use a double negative, or was that a positive-negative?) Call the grammer police, Baron………………….

As for Izturis, any guy that’s a headliner on a Razzball team shouldn’t be on my team.

You know you have him on your Razzball team, don’t lie.

Is he at least on your bench?

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:27:40 +0000

@BigFatHippo: BTW, you know who's been much better than Lowrie? Your own Izturis. EDIT: OCD.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:25:46 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Lowrie has 1 HR and 0 steals on the season. We wouldn't be talking about him if he were on some other team (meaning, "instead of the Red Sox." Not "instead of your team," but it's true we wouldn't be talking about him if he weren't on your team either.). Wigginton has been hot though, I'll give you that.

@Grey:

Atkins must have frenched Kotchman, C Guile contracted Chipperitis, Kaz Mat pulled his Drew and yet my team is fine.

Filling in with Lowrie, Wigginton, Freddy and I feel fine.

Lowrie has the most RBI’s at SS since the break, believe it or not.

And how bout some love for Wigginton? Gonna see a lot of PT and always hits in September.
