I’m going for a full 120 in the RCLs. Can I get an extra Taco bell coupon if I make it?

You seem to like MC Lyte, Grey. How about MC Lyte?

McClouth, McCutchen, McLinen… I don’t know. Is the gooch the area between your ass and your crotch?

What’s a gooch?

By: Clodbuster

Clodbuster — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:08:00 +0000

Do we have a title for McCutchen yet?

“The Gooch”

He’s not good enough to play for my squad but he seems to be good enough to beat my squad.

The date was going great until she decided to get up close and personal with my gooch and spoil the whole thing. It’s just too funky a place for any sober woman to venture.

@Grey: That’s exactly what I said!

Hey, while I’ve got your attention Grey (thanks for all the help lately, by the by – it’s definitely helped a ton), my trade opens up a MI & CI spot: who do you like (non-roto league):

MI: F. Lopez, A. Kennedy, O. Cabrera, E. Andrus, R. Furcal
CI: B. Butler, K. Kouzmanoff, M. Teahan

@jbatkins: Not objectionable, not even sure which side I prefer.

I finally nailed down a trade today, giving up Webb, Swisher, Elijah “You Dead Dawg” Dukes, and Stephen Drew and getting Alfonso Soriano, Jay Bruce, and Jerry Hairston, Jr. Funny part is, the trade goes down at like 8PM, and there’s already an objection. This isn’t an objectionable trade, is it???

@Clodbuster: I like it for you.

@Kris: A friend of mine from Monterrey, Mexico got word from home that a friend had been kidnapped, and his two bodyguards turned up dead the next day. His family ended up paying a ransom and getting him back. It's some scary, real shizz...

have we been tracking the torrealba kidnapping situation? that shit is raw…glad it seems to have been resolved.

@PWNightmare: Nice. @VanHammersly: NP. Keep up the momentum! @Chase: Thanks! @Elijah: Good job. I'd sit Happ against good competition. I think he's due to get hit pretty hard the next couple games as he doesn't have an offspeed pitch yet this year. @AL KOHOLIC: Top 20 isn't bad considering you have Manny. Hopefully he boosts you into RCL contention... @jbatkins: Ha. I think Grey has something on Strasburg posting tonight...

Sticking with the Reyes trend, how did I do in this deal?

Give-Reyes, Pence, Reynolds, Porcello

Get-Manny, CC, Kershaw

10 team vanilla roto, leading in SB

Alright, so we’re starting Strasburg in all leagues next week, right?

@G-RAM: Thanks for the kind words!

@Grey: Thanks! Always value your opinions, which is saying something. Before I found Razzball my guidepost was to do exactly the opposite of what Yahoo!'s fantasy "experts" suggested (I do have to say that Andy Behren's column isn't bad these days, though; no Razzball, but it is sufferable). Thanks again.

@Elijah: Reynolds is some kind of wonderful. @Eric C.: Beckham, who looks completely overmatched? I wouldn't drop either of those.

By: Eric C.

Eric C. — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:09:33 +0000

Anyone think I’m jumping the gun a little by dropping Hardy and Hairston Jr. for Beckham and Andy Laroche?

@G-RAM: I want the Reyes side. @anon: Gonzalez faced two lefties.

By: anon

Is Raffy Soriano in for Atlanta finally? I was surprised to see him get in . It wasn’t like it was a murderers row of lefties like the last time her got a save opp. Is this worth reading in to?

By: Elijah

Elijah — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:41:45 +0000

Kinda glad I went with my Gut and benched Happ. It wasnt a horrible start but… I’ve been thinking I should trust my instincts more after I had that nonsensical urge to trade Webb and another player for Halladay 2 days after the draft, followed by the sense that I really really wanted Carl Crawford on my team. (couldnt swing the trade unfortunately)

By: G-RAM

G-RAM — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:40:21 +0000

@Grey: Maybe so, slap hitting, speed-oriented team. But my comment was more directed at what I’ve seen over the course of the season. I’ve watched almost every Rays game this year and it’s common practice for Upton to play shallow. Oh, sure, he takes away the occasional bloop single and he is fast, but he’s been burnt by the long drive way too often.

Choate on in the 8th. Rays down two.

Hey Grey–what do you think of that trade I posit at post #3 above? I’m letting it sit right now while I have a few others sitting out there, but I haven’t rejected it yet either. The Reyes hammy tendon stuff REALLY concerns me (see the post about it the other day on the Disabled List Informer).

Grey — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:24:42 +0000

@G-RAM: Against the Angels it makes some sense to play short center.
