@Grey: Dumped him for Nelson Cruz. Up 7-3 and it’s just a filler for a day so went for the hot hand/upside.

@Steve: There's so little time and with playoffs, I say you go for the best bet tomorrow. If that means dropping Konerko, I think you have to do it.

Any point in hanging on to Konerko? Got a gap I need to fill tomorrow.

Hard to see him being as hot as he was pre-injury.

@Nick: I haven't read or heard anything, so I'm assuming it's a long season and Markakis's taking a day off. I would play matchups with Johnson rather than holding an extra OF. Kick Cameron to the curb.

@Grey: What's up with Markakis, how come he was benched today? Also is Cameron still worth holding onto with Dye, Markakis, Ethier, Delgado & Pence holding down my OF/UTIL or should I look somewhere else to plug my 2B or Catcher when matchups justify switching out K. Johnson/R. Doumit...

It’s taken him all day (night?), but Pena has finally Sonavabenched me!

Those Rays aren’t lying down for anyone.

@wassup: I'd go Floyd then Jurrjens. Both seems decent though depending on how tight your race for ratios is.

@Grey: Well, looking on the bright side - at least Ayala has a little more margin for error. And my opponent had Wilson, Millwood and Pelfrey going today so his ERA and WHIP are deep in the toilet.

@Steve: Kaazam! Never seems to fail. Unfortunately.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:22:57 +0000

@Grey: Nope. I'm 4-0 down in wins already this week. A scoreless inning is much more valuable to me right now. Particularly as I have Ayala just witing to nail down a Save...

What the hucking fell is Hanrahan doing in there? Do the Nationals not realise that they are LOSING?

@royce!: Oh, and I don't know the name of the Pupuseria, but I've never had a bad one so follow your nose. @john: No problem. @BigFatHippo: Yeah, I'd start him over Double I.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:52:51 +0000

@Grey: Correct me if I'm wrong but I should be playing Nelson Cruz every day right? He's the MVP of my bench while Sizemore, Ludwick and Hunter have been mostly craptastic.

Well done, my man.

@john: Wigginton’s not coming back for a few days and who knows what the time off will have done to his swing. If those are the choices, I’d grab Kelly Johnson, Hairston then Wigginton. But Johnson may be on the bench against lefties, I’d watch his matchups. Then grab Wigginton during the weekend if he looks like he’s picking it up right where he left off.

@royce!: It’s Randor Bierd. Punt.

“Porky” — ha! I love chowhounds.

@Grey: Oh, I didn't know they were the same thing. I've never tried the place on Beverly, though, and I assume you're talking about La Nueva Flor Blanca. According to a chowhound article, their pork is "porky." Just how I like it!

I was on cruise mode until Quentin and Phillips go down…thank god Quentin happened during my 1st place bye week but Phillips has the nerve to break his finger during my semi-final! Now who should i pick up for Phillips? options are: K. Johnson, T.Wiggington, Iwamura, Harriston, Casilla…..I’m leaning toward Wiggington since he might help to replace some of Phillips’ power, but I’m just too upset to see clearly and could use the help..

Did you see Yadi take a Lilly to the nuts?

Let’s just say he’s ain’t no Daisy, or a Lilly either. Man, I wouldn’t be able to walk after that, let alone catch.

How annoying must it be for V-Mart owners (like my opponent, hehe) to see him strike out and then for Shoppach to follow him to the plate and go deep?

Not as annoying as it would be to see it happen twice, I expect.

@royce!: They're also called pupusas at Pupuserias all over the city. There's one on Beverly Blvd. just east of Noshi Sushi that has good ones. Tell'm Grey sent you and get extra red sauce. @BigFatHippo: Ha!

@royce!: Guess its true. Well, what do you expect from a team that lets Rocky Cherry close?

Is someone with Yahoo trying to play a really dorky joke, or is there really someone named Randor Blerd?

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:01:05 +0000

@Grey: They're as abundant in the Bootheel as Priuses also, which is to say there is one. And I already ate it. Someone should start a tamale stand that serves 25 for a buck, then they'd be as abundant as 1985 F-150's with bull nuts hanging from the bumper and a confederate flag blowing from the CB antenna.

By: royce!

royce! — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:00:08 +0000

@Grey: So true. I get killer tamales from a guy at the Shortstop every time I go to a Dodgers game and my wife drives a Prius. I've never had an arepa, though. Can you recommend somewhere in LA?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:53:49 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Tamales are as abundant as Priuses (Pre-i?) in LA. An arepa-- Man, I'm hungry.

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:49:50 +0000

@Grey: Does anybody make a good tamale anymore? Seriously, I haven't had one in ages. I think my league quit on me, all my hitters are slumping, I'm holding back innings to get the IP down, yet still hanging onto a 14 pt lead. It's good to be the King.
