tied for 3rd in whip, 5th in ERA and 4th in W & K. 8 team league. Starting Sabathia tomorrow. Do I also start Nolasco against STL ? around +6 for IP.

@Grey: Fuck that.

Excuse my language but I’ve been at a long lunch. On the day Mike G shuts the door with relative ease, my opponent gets a one-out – nay, a one-pitch – save?

Sheesh. Still 8-1 to me though

@wassup: Slowey @Shogun: I didn't see the game so the only thing I can think of is the Yankees came back real fast and they didn't want Percival to come in in the middle of an inning and rush him so they threw Wheeler to the wolves.

Wheeler throws 1/3 of an inning and gets a save. Does anyone know why they didn’t give Percival the chance?

Gotta drop Big Z, and am trying for a SP that would make 3 starts from 9/15-28. Garza just got dropped in my league (MIN, @BAL, @DET)- should I pick him up or one of the following:

Wellemeyer (@CIN, ARI, CIN)
Wandy (@FLA, CIN, ATL)
Malholm (LAD, HOU, @SD)
Jimenez (SD, @SF, @ARI)

@knighttown: Shorthand, he's lot like Chris Davis and Jay Bruce. He strikes out a lot and he has power. He could also catch pitchers under prepared to get him out and he could have a solid three weeks. In other words, worth a flier, but he might go 0-for-next week. He's very underdeveloped.

Anyone see this Travis Snyder kid the Jays called up yet? Youngest position player in MLB (20) went 3 for 3 with a bomb tonight after handling Joe Nathan last night. Two outs and a man on second, took good cuts on his 95mph fastballs, didn’t even look twice at his breaking ball and ripped a 3-2 slider for a game tying double. What’s his pedigree like?

@knighttown: Choo, Butler, Upton, Dickerson, Konerko, Aviles, punt.

By: knighttown

The Billy Butler spot start seems to be going OK but do I have the cojones to drop him? No, I do not.

Please rank potential starters for tomorrow (as I’ve mentioned HR of little importance):
Aviles, Butler vs. Anthony Reyes
Choo @ Duckworth
BJ Upton @ Halladay
Matsui @ Morrow
Konerko vs. Weaver
Dickerson vs. Harden

@BigFatHippo: "BTW. Refuse to type Tori’s extra i, reminds me of a third nipple." That's hilarious!

@Grey: I was just throwing a name out there and always get the name wrong. I’m illigitamate, er, illogical, er, illiteral, unliterate? Leave me alone, I’m also drunk. Left work at 2 o the clock to play pool.

I drink better when I’m playing pool.

BTW. Refuse to type Tori’s extra i, reminds me of a third nipple.

@BigFatHippo: It's Double I, not Double R. Hopefully he has a solid Sept., but his steals are pretty down this year.

@Grey: Coffee in Bed made MTV, back when it was actually "music" TV. Wait a minute, how the hell'd we get on this subject? How bout that Torri Hunter huh?

@Doug Ault: Yeah, for one song, lead singer on Tempted. Comes in a close 2nd to Black Coffee in Bed, IMO.

‘Tis a great song. I’ve often wondered who sang it. It has a very 70s West Coast Rock feel to it – for a song done by a bunch of Englishmen.

I’m old enough to remember when it was popular the first time round…

@Doug Ault: @BigFatHippo: That song rocks.

By: Steve

Both, in fact.

Although, ironically, neither will be found in a tree. The kiwi (bird) is flightless and the kiwi (fruit) grows on a vine.

@Steve: "Even down here I had to secure all loose items." Ha That's funny man. Are all your Kiwi's still in the trees? Wait, is that a bird or a fruit?

Naw,Mike was in Genesis,not the singer Paul Carrack,it drove me nuts when Mike and the mechanics came out,trying to figure out where I’d heard the voice before

@Doug Ault: You mean Paul Carrack? I can think of a couple, How Long, "Tempted" when he was with Squeeze. Nothing else stands out.

@Steve: On the replay, the entire field rotated and Prince actually stood still.

Even down here I had to secure all loose items.

@Steve: Shoot, I would've liked to, but sadly missed it. Watching the Yankees getting handled.
