@Steve: Damn, Peavy can't buy a win. Don't pick up Janish. @paulzone: LaPorta will probably play 5 games a week, hopefully Pronk's out for a while. @Tom: Votto or Upton would be a solid haul for him. @I’m Keith Hernandez: I'd want Aramis there, but I wouldn't put in Davis too. @PWNightmare: Ha! @Robert: Yeah, kinda. @James: Hey, I'd love to see Upton breakout and I think it could happen sooner vs. later, but he's still looked pretty bad on occasion. @Ashley: Ha! @Steve: I think you can trade one of them away if you have a pressing need.

@Grey: J-Up isn't going to keep this up all year, obviously, but does having him make Corey Hart tradeable? Or should I just ride the hot streak and keep Hart for the long run? They're both 'competing' (cos it's not a real team, y'know?) for my RF spot.

Dodgers 10…Kemp 0….0-5 two outs in their big inning. Matt is completely lost right now. Thank god I have Upton to pick up the slack.

Note to self: Bench Randy J on the road, start him at home.

@Dingo: Amen to that. I'd feel a little happier if I didn't also have Wainwright going yesterday, but just like you, I'll take it.

@Steve: An expensive win is better than no win at all. I'll take what I can get.

Matt Kemp is a loser. Ticker Tease All-Star…

I forgot to mention – when Myers performed the long toss, his speed went up, and he was a 2nd half star.

By: James

James — Thu, 07 May 2009 04:08:08 +0000

@Grey – I understand Upton has looked bad on some ABs you have seen this year, but you have to be impressed by him hitting on the road this year, which was a huge problem last year. This could be a good sign that he is growing as a hitter. I understand he hasn’t hit at home, but that wasn’t a problem last year, and much of his funk was at home (once he started hitting he did well at home).

Myers – I think Manuel calling him out in the media about the speed of his fast ball was to put pressure on Myers to start doing his long toss again between starts to get his speed up. Last year, his stellar 2nd half could be attributed to doing long toss after he was sent to AAA. I am not suggesting to trade for him, but if he is a FA or on your roster, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait and see with him.

Nice job by the pinch hitter. At least Peavy’s done, no more risk to his arm. I’ll take the K’s and ratios, but damn does that offense suck.

@Mark: There you go, he's out, no win. I needed that win, now I have to rout for Kershaw to lose!

By: Mark

Mark — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:58:29 +0000

@Nick: I know, I’m not really pissed…..just annoyed that the Padres are getting 2-hit by frickin Garland.

12 K’s in 7 IP so far…Peavy’s at 112 pitches, I’m hoping he’s done for the night even if it means not getting the opportunity for a W.

Would it be insulting to offer Mike Lowell and G. Meche for Halladay?

Markakis: 3 HRs & a SB in the merry month of May. How’s that for OPA percentage?!`

OPA, come on, people… (crickets)

@Pops: Davis is my crappiest offensive player, I have no offensive bench players.

Thanks for the Peavy jinx.

By: Nick

Nick — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:37:37 +0000

Of course it wouldn’t be a typical day this week for my team as Peavy gets homered off

By: Nick

Nick — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:29:29 +0000

ESPN just said the Royals & Mariners will come out of the AL for ’09…thought that was funny.

1) YES, PENA & THE RAYS!
2) SANTANA!!! My Mets just need Reyes to get goin!
3) Peavy, 9K OER .60WHIP through 5

@I’m Keith Hernandez: Hold Chris Davis. He's going to figure it out. Try Oswalt and another corner infield option.

@Grey: Are you feeling Bad Win Karma coing out of San Diego this night?

By: I'm Keith Hernandez

I'm Keith Hernandez — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:00:24 +0000

I offered Oswalt for Aramis and heard no response.

I could sweeten the deal with Chris Davis and I know he would take it. Tommy Hanson is sitting on waivers and I need the roster spot to pick him up.

Maybe I could ask for Capps or Matt Gonzalez back. Any of this sound crazy? I think my ambien is kicking in….

Little BKK pitching tonight. 2 BB, 10 K’s over 3_2/3rd’s. Is there anyway I can add his stats to my team(s)?

hmmm. messed up there.

I’m shopping Beckett around because I just got F-Her and I would love a big bat. I could try to combine him with a Bartlett/Morgan type, and get J. Upton and Lind, but that doesn’t seem like enough.

Who would you suggest I look for, out of Dye, Pence, maybe a struggling BJ, Rios, Hart, Adam Jones, Votto?

thank u fukudome for playing fantasy baseball with us…now take your rightful place on the waiver wire.

will laporta get regular playing time and what happens if and when the indians have a re-pronk?

berkman bitch slapped me for thinking about trading him. although i think Tex will pick things up once Arod gets back, if he isn’t hurt. still, the Tex owner won’t part with him. he picked tex 4th overall.

gonzalez rebounds with a strong save, after not be able to record an out last night. bob and weave gonzo, bob and weave.

What’s Cordero in there for?

Sorry – forgot who his manager was for a minute. I suppose I should be glad it’s not Volquez or Cueto.

@Martin: I would start him, but it is risky. @Martin: I'd make that offer. @cubbies299: Beckett is okay, but Baker's been atrocious this year. Not crazy about it. @Steve: Blalock

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:07:44 +0000

@Grey: I gotta bench Atkins for a few. Blalock, Rolen or Teahen as a replacement?

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Thu, 07 May 2009 01:32:01 +0000

Would you do Lewis/Verlander/Lowe for Beckett/Matsui/Baker? My ratios are fucked, and at the very least, Beckett and Baker usually are good WHIP guys. Matsui’s just a bat.
