One day, hopefully we’ll find out why Scioscia hates Napoli. We all think Nap banged a relative of Scioscia’s, but what if the truth is that Scioscia made advances on Nap and was rejected.

You know what they say, there’s nothing scarier than a sciociapath scorned.

So do I lose Morrow now or run him out there Friday against the Yanks and then drop him? If it were almost anyone but the Yanks, I’d be inclined to hold him. Thoughts?

@Sos: Young over Headley, if you need steals.

@brad: Go with Rolen.

*******THERE’S A NEW POST FOR FOLLOWUPS.******

That said, Jamey Carroll and Emilio Bonifacio are the only two available 3bs that fit the bill really. Given their level of suck should I just close my eyes and stick with Rolen?

@Black Beard: This week.

@Tom Emanski: Damn

Grey, is that for the rest of the year or this week? Or both?

@ruah: That order looks fine for now.

Thanks for the humorous read on an otherwise Mundane morning. A few things:

Playoffs start this week in 2 of my leagues where I have secured the #1 seed in one and the #4 seed in the other. Unfortunately seeding means jack in H2H because one bad week and I’m finished like Strasburg’s arm.

Also, it is unimaginable to me that in my 3rd league I finished in 7th and missed the playoffs by 1 slot. I mean this team has names like Votto, Longo, Bruce, EYoung, Tabata, Alvarez, Rasmus, Kershaw, Lester, Wilson, Bailey, Haren, Mnior, and Weaver. It took me all season to build this team and I went from 16th to 7th, but alas fell one spot short.

Finally, I own Morrow and CarGo in every one of my leagues and they are keeper leagues, so I’m holding on tighter than K-Rod holds his father-in-law by the throat. I imagine they will both be very early picks next season.

@Black Beard: Scherzer

@Commish Cauda: Chacin, Lilly…

@Tom Emanski: I’d starting him this week.

@rafi: I’d sit Casilla and Marte. Not like you’re missing much with them anyway.

On to this week’s pondering…. I have 3 potential strong bat September callups in Nolan Reimold, Desmond Jennings and Jared Goedert.

My lineup currently includes such turds as Alexei Casilla, Jed Lowrie, Dan Johnson, Julio Borbon, Ryan Kalish and Andy Marte…. This is a league with weekly changes… Would you go for the hail mary with Jennings or Reimold in for one or two of those shmo’s or do you think I’m better off waiting this week to make sure the fresh meat gets called up?

H2H-POINTS. Wins=10, L=-5, S=5, K=1, Inn=1, ER=-1, BB=-0.3, HA=-0.1, QS=1

Pick TWO

Colby Lewis @MIN (Pavano)
Jason Hammel @SD (Richard)
J. Chacin @SD (Garland)
Ted Lilly vsSF (Cain)

Pick THREE if your 3rd choice from above is worth starting over Joakim Soria (vsTEX, vsDET)

Thanks.

A.J. Burnett
Anibal Sanchez
Jordan Zimmerman

It’s a H2H and each team has lots of pitchers, causing me to have fantastic players like the above on my team

@Deeeeeez Nuts: Ha

@Jeff: Bench Davis and Johnson…

@Bender: Nice!

@Wiley: Sure, go for it.

Who do I start;

Assuming I start K. Johnson at 2nd over Rayburn. which 5 OF’s do I start; Hamilton, Vlad, BJ, Rajai, Rayburn, Pagan, Hewyard.

Or do I start Rayburn at 2nd and bench K. Johnson. If so I only have to bench 1 OF.
