@emayetee: I like him better than Polanco, fer sure. As you said, Manny's brought up the value for the entire lineup. Well, you didn't say it, but I am. @BSA: Seriously.

Holy crap did Fuentes pitch himself into a hornet’s nest, bases loaded, two outs, full count and…..

Comes away with a save.

@BSA: Youuuuuk's been very underappreciated this year. I was only half kidding when I listed him as my dark horse MVP candidate.

What do you think of Kent? He’s on waivers, and he’s been raking since hitting in front of Manny… like he did in front of Bonds. Is he worth dropping Polanco for? Already have Stewart and DeRosa, categories are h, hr, r, rbi, bb, k, avg, slg.

Thoughts from Boston.com Globe Staff blog re: Ortiz
Is David Ortiz smiling?

Consider these stats on the two players who have hit behind him:

Kevin Youkilis: batting average with men on base: .429
Manny Ramirez: batting average with men on base: .291 (Sox); .478 (Dodgers)

Youkilis hitting in 7+ innings: .390
Ramirez hitting in 7+ innings: .213 (Sox); .357 (Dodgers)

Youkilis OPS (on-base plus slugging): .948
Ramirez OPS: .786 (Sox); .899 (Dodgers)

Vernon or Adam LaRoche in terms of overall offensive production here on out?

So lets see, you’re wrong about Maholm, wrong about Baker, wrong about Papi, wrong about nearly everything you preen about. You’re on the Razzblog hall of fame already

Murray Fucking Chass could give better advice. Razzball is banned.

@BSA: I'd want a healthy Wells over Pence. EDIT: Of is not over.

By: BSA

BSA — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:38:20 +0000

My outfield is now Ankiel, Markakis, McLouth, with Granderson as utility
Pence is on my bench. Now I saw that Wells hit a grandslam but is he an upgrade over my current outfielders?

@Grey: I agree Stewart's more exciting, but we count Ks. Kinda made my decision for me. Stewart, 51 Ks in 128 AB. Wigginton, 45 in 259 AB. This is the time of year when every category counts.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:02:11 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Wiggington's okay, but he's sitting on waivers in a 15 team pert league and no one's reaching for him. He kinda is what he is. Stewart's a bit more exciting, but Wiggington's safe and fine. Go with it.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:54:20 +0000

OK, studied a while and made a decision.

Sanchez, Wigginton.

Wiggs should see plenty of playing time with CLee out. Plus he has good career numbers in Sept.

Sanchez avg better than Kaz Mat from here out methinks.

@Grey: Wigginton? Sorry to be so redundant but I gotta study hard, Hippo's don't make snap decisions.

@BigFatHippo: No on Willie Harris.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:17:11 +0000

@Grey: The only other one I see is Willie Harris. He worth a shot? Gettin desperate up here at the top.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:09:01 +0000

@BigFatHippo: It's hard for me to say who's available, but I could see grabbing Stewart and Sanchez. Unless Hairston Jr.'s around. Then grab him instead of Sanchez.

BigFatHippo — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:03:25 +0000

@Grey: Kaz Mat and C Guile hurting. I need to fill MI slot and SS. Ian Stewart, Freddy Sanchez, Omar Infante have been hot. Pick up who and drop who? Or someone else. Team posted in Forum under my team vs. His Team. He's now 6 pts back BTW, don't know how he does it, smoke and mirrors perhaps.

@Nick: Don't know fantasy football, bra. Sorry. We will be recapping then looking ahead to 09 all winter and into next season. catch the excitement! @wakeNbake: I do like Span. @Doug Ault: How about Maine is Home for Nats' Peach Pit, which doesn't really make sense but it's a 901210 reference so there's that.

Hey Grey you have any recommendations for fantasy football? I love this site & I’m hoping there is something similar for my fantasy football season!

@Denys: I am predicting a solid start from Mr. Maine tonight. Predicted line: 7 IP, 3 ER, 4 HA, 3 BBI, 7 K's And then loses his win to yet another blown save. A risky start? Sure, but unless you clearly have better options, it isn't a dumb move.
