@Grey: Oh, I read your article, and I already knew about the limit, but most of my moron league mates who manage according to Sportscenter just knew that he was the second coming... until the note popped up. If ESPN would just keep offering their opinions and stop mixing in pesky facts, winning my league would be a lot less trouble.

@Grey: Yeah, I also got onto the Pixar bandwagon after seeing Wall-E, which was my favorite movie of 2008. Up turned out to be just as great, so now I feel like I have to go watch Toy Story, although I usually wouldn't care. (Cars was pretty boring and predictable, though)

@Steve: Oh, I get what you were doing now. Talking only pitchers. You don't want him. But I thought that was Howie Kendrick, now I think you mean Kyle. I wouldn't pick up any of those SPs. @NukeLaDouche: Ha... Yeah, might be asking for much. Just hold for now. Or consolidate. If those guys are on waivers, then trade Ethier and Pence for someone like Holliday and Braun and pickup a waiver guy.

I’ve had A-Ram on my bench with Utley and now Tulo on there. My DL spot is currently occupied with Volquez. I’ve got this plan to make an amazing come from behind push with players who come off the DL evidently.

@Grey: Rodrigo.

@3FingersBrown: Ha, yeah, totally. @Dootdedoo: Rios side this year, Price next. @NukeLaDouche: I'd hold for now. Unless you can pinpoint your bench for me. @Steve: Kendrick, though I'm not sure who Rod is. @Eddy: I wouldn't trade for Roberts, but I guess it depends on who you're trading for him. That's a lot for Cano.

By: Eddy

@Grey: Oh and one final trade question: Assuming you have an OF of Holliday, CarGo, LaPorta, Adam Jones, and Fowler, would it make sense to trade away Jayson Werth and Chris Carpenter for Robinson Cano? Carpenter is my #3 (behind Kershaw and Lester).

Eddy — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:54:59 +0000

@Grey: Assuming he's ready by the first week of August, is Brian Roberts worth trading for? It's only two games in single-A, but he's 5 for 6 with a BB.

Need a replacement for Latos in my H2H league when/if he goes on the ‘DL’. Not much to chose from, but Bush, Chacin, Kendrick, Mazzaro and Rod. Lopez are available…

Oh and add Ellsbury to that list of guys on the wire. I do need steals badly but I’m skeptical of how Ells will really perform let alone steal.

Kubel, Grandy, and Berkman are hanging out on waivers in my league.

My team is:

McCann
Sandoval
Sean-Rod
Longo
Drew
Pence
Ethier
Cruz
Young
LaRoche
A-Ram

I also have Tulo (picked him up off waivers once his owner dropped him) and Utley on the bench. I like my odds in the 2nd half but would you drop any of my guys to pick up the guys on the wire?

Which side? this year? next? 12 team mixed.

Price ($6)/Coghlin($5)
or
Rios ($6)/Matusz($1)

@Grey: I'll check it out. She's a disaster! She looks like the cat lady, Jocelyn Wildenstein. Yikes!

@3FingersBrown: I don't mind bleak, but I just couldn't get in to it. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood or something, but I just couldn't engage with any of the characters.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:11:15 +0000

@3FingersBrown: I saw the Joan Rivers doc. Really good, definite recommend. Was funny and scary. Yikes, put on some makeup!

@Steve: I suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. I'm more likely to roster Yanks, since I just don't trust my Mets when my money's on the line.

@Awesomus Maximus: Yeah, mentioned that in this post. People read these things occasionally, right? Skim?

@Steve: I made it through the whole series. VERY dense and exhausting to watch. The ending is pretty heartbreaking - since it's summer 2003 and the soldiers think their job is done. Bleak stuff. I'm a sucker for well made war films but it was a bit too soon for me. I felt like my time would have been better spent watching a doc. Anyone seen "Restrepo?" that new one about the Afghan war?

Just noticed that ESPN added a “note” next to Strasburg’s name announcing he’s only got 10 more starts this season. Now I know why all my Big Baby Jesus trade offers were rejected a few days ago. Thanks, dickwads…

@Grey: Go on - I won't tell anyone. @3FingersBrown: I keed. I actually need to jump down off my high horse. Not a Met fan, but own Wright, Reyes, Bay, Beltran and K-Rod across various teams.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:02:14 +0000

@Steve: Yeah, I don't think I can go that far.

By: 3FingersBrown

3FingersBrown — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:01:45 +0000

@Steve: Admittedly so, but as a Mets fan, I'm a pessimist. I was all over Torres, before the Angel showed me the light! In fact Pagan's the first Met I've owned in my big league since Wagner a few years ago.

@Grey: And if you're feeling really childish, check out Phineas and Ferb on the Disney Channel. One of those kids-love-it-but-there's-plenty-in-it-for-the-grownups shows.

@3FingersBrown: Homer!

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:36:06 +0000

@Steve: Yeah, heard good things. I'll check it out at some point, I've seen all the Pixar movies, I think. Don't think one of them was bad, either. @barker: Looks fair for you.

By: 3FingersBrown

3FingersBrown — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:33:52 +0000

@pjtres: Pretty close. Torres walks (and K's) a little more but I think Pagan's a little better of a contact hitter. Mets lineup > S.F.'s, so I'd take Pagan. In fact, I did just that, dropping Torres for Pagan in May.

@Grey: Back at work today, but had the last two days off looking after the kids during school holidays - took them to to Toy Story 3. It's probably not on your radar, but a great little movie.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:26:03 +0000

@Steve: I only watched one episode then gave up on it. Was too dense for me. I still haven't gotten through the four episodes of Treme I have on Tivo. Maybe one of these days unless it erases it on me.
