@everybody

Grab Big Z if he’s on waivers…

@Nick: Yeah, that was a good call on your part. Greinke looked great. I'd be careful going forward with him though.

Zambrano was horrible tonight….good thing I didnt listen to u Grey and started Greinke…he helped me out but I still lost ground in WHIP from Zambrano.

@Grey: Yeah, I wouldn't even have to drop Guthrie. At this point I'd just drop Nelson Cruz, who I picked up to keep others from doing so.

@royce!: Guthrie's innings are getting high so I could see chucking Guthrie to waivers for Big Z if Guthrie looks bad against the Rays this week. If you can't want until Guthrie's Friday start, I'd make that move anyway.

Zambrano pitched terribly today, but I was still amazed to see that he got dropped. I have the #3 waiver priority, and would use him for a 2 week period in which he would pitch against the Brewers twice and the Mets once. Despite his recent crapiness, I have to pick him up, right?

Btw, for that two week period he would take the place of either Myers, Nolasco, or Guthrie.

@wassup: Hardy, Cameron, LaRoche, Gerut... @corey: He's going to be out a few weeks and his innings were already high for the year. I think you should look elsewhere.

Any updates on Duchscherer?

By: wassup

Wigginton’s cooling off a lot. Stick it out or time to drop him? Here are the options…adam laroche, gerut, randy winn, mike cameron, ethier, the ss on red sox forgot his name,werth, span, and hardy’s gettin pretty hot recently. Who you like here, can you narrow it to 2 or 3?

@wassup: I agree, go with Perez.

@Grey: Never mind, wild pitch. Never really left the batters box though.

By: Grey

@BigFatHippo: Loren Roberts -- nice reference.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:24:23 +0000

Ahh, the fleet footed Yadi swipes a bag.

Did you see that? Didn’t think so, dude’s faster than Loren Roberts.

BigFatHippo — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:18:32 +0000

Thanks again for Rollins summerdog, but they’re sittin Vlad now. Didn’t know it till I got home.

Shit in one hand and cover it up with the other.

Make that fire a bonfire while he farted. BOOOOM!

@chuck: Yeah, move a little quicker next time.

By: chuck

If I had known Rollins was going to pick it up as soon as I grabbed Drew off the waivers, I would have done it back in May. Sorry fellas.

Aaaah, that gives me a deadspot in the pitching now in a weekly lineup. Now a starter or Fuentes next week. Gotta go check the schedule for week 23.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:24:16 +0000

****Fuentes might be out for up to a week on bereavement leave. I’d grab Corpas if you’re desperate for saves.

You saved me the typing. I just thanked my trading partner and told him Jimmy needed a change of scenery. Feels more at home on my team with Utley.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:16:48 +0000

@BSA: And another hit and steal.

By: BSA

BSA — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:01:27 +0000

Who lit the fire under Rollin’s ass? Last four at bats he’s 4-4 with a single, two doubles, a triple and now a stolen base.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:33:45 +0000

@Doug Ault: Upton's batted .263 with one steal over the last seven games. A hot waiver guy plus Vlad switched in when he's playing is still a solid option.

By: Doug Ault

Doug Ault — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:24:07 +0000

@Grey: In hindsight maybe I shouldn’t have swapped Upton for him

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:11:44 +0000

@Doug Ault: Thanks for that. I guess it's not entirely surprising. I just assumed that the Angels would start him on most days so he wouldn't get rusty. EDIT: Typo, boyz!

By: Doug Ault

Doug Ault — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:59:59 +0000

@Grey:This from Sporting News:

According to the Los Angeles Times, Guerrero is likely to sit out “at least two and probably all three games” against the A’s. “We’re trying to keep his knee and his lower half where it is, and it’s important to give him a couple of days to rebound, to re-charge,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “If we keep going with him now, we could set him back from playing defense and running the bases.” With a 17-game division lead, Guerrero and the Angels can afford to rest up.

@Doug Ault: Cruz should prove to be a decent replacement, but if not, I'd just go with the hot hand in a good matchup when Vlady's benched. Though Vlady should still get in there 80% of the games.

By: Doug Ault

Doug Ault — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:59:37 +0000

With my worst fears coming to pass,as the Angels begin resting Vlady,I scooped Cruz off the waiver wire.I’ll take 8 in Sept
