@wily mo: yeah I noticed that, still he's strung together a few games with hits and got a couple out of the yard. For the balance of the season in a 16tm league he's gotta bring more value than one of those schlubs doesn't he?

@scalez: if it matters, the bomb wells hit tonight was off a really flat, slow fastball down the middle of the plate from wheeler. at least he didn't miss it. but it wasn't the kind of thing that made you say, "wow, nice piece of hitting by wells there." it was the kind of thing that made you say, "yep." i guess a lot of home runs are like that though. he might still be more interesting than damon.

@herschel:

yeah , the sad part is not that the sawx have depleted the pen … to the
point of having to bring in dice-k , in the 13th , but ,
that , tomorrow , they’re going to need lackey to go deep vs his former
team .

good luck with that , lackey owners !

@Steve:

so , let me get this straight .

you have the brazz ballz to start scherzer against the yankeez ,
but , balk at throwing liriano against the white sox … a team which ,
incidentally , is hitting worse than your own fantasy team ?

you’re a strange duck , for a plucky kiwi .

Deep league, Wells on wire. Hit his 2nd bomb in 3 games, turning the corner?

drop Freeman/Damon/or Rajai for Wells?

thanks.

When Stanton came to bat, he had a look in his eyes such that I immediately thought, “he’s going deep.” When he hit the ball, I thought, “he just went deep.” But then I saw that neither Rasmus nor Berkman were retreating, and for a split-second, I thought it was a routine flyball. When that spilt second was over, I pondered my 54.00 ERA.

I don’t know if I have the stomach for SAGNOF.

@Grey: What's your take on the closer situation in Toronto?

@scalez: Nice! @AL KOHOLIC: Ha @scalez: That's hilarious. @Flunkie: Ha... Drop Motte for Melancon.

By: Flunkie

Flunkie — Thu, 05 May 2011 03:36:38 +0000

Okay. I can pick up Melancon. Still available. Good. I own Lyon. Bad. Very bad. I own Motte as SAGNOF. Mediocre, depending on who you ask.

Drop Lyon or Motte for Melancon?

My first reaction is “Motte.. obviously.” Then I realize that i have two of the three closing options for HOU and almost puke a little bit. So dropping Lyon, obviously riskier, seems to make more sense for me.

Please make me stop grasping at straws here. Please!

Eduardo Sanchez got robbed on 2 strike 3 calls to Hanley. But the homer is still inexcusable.

@Grey: ha...I know I know. I just need to be talked off the ledge. I won't actually do it, but shit it's frustrating. Especially when I have Dunn on all my teams.

how do you make a mistake pitch to Stanton in a tie game when he has the pitcher hitting behind him? Cardinals bullpen is a diarrhea bomb.

@Grey: the delay was probably a good thing since it's a league with QS, also.
