This Mariners-Indians clusterfuck pisses me off doubly: As someone with several Mariners on his fantasy team and as a an out of town Mariners fan with a shiny new mlb.tv account.

[melack]

Also: it seems worth noting that my team is batting a robust .213. If not for A-Rod, my entire team would be below the Mendoza Line. I shudder to think.

[littlefallsmets]

It is interesting, you know?

Without Vlad and A-Rod on our rosters, we would have an insanely sad match-up between us.

[melack]

Yeah, so that Vlad guy of yours? 5 runs, 3 home runs, 20 RBI.

Fuck that.

[littlefallsmets]

10 Ribbies, actually.

But, man, A-Rod had ELEVEN. And FOUR home runs. And EIGHT runs.

If I'm reading the numbers right, I think I edged you out this week, 'lack.

Good game, sir, good game.

[V-Adore]

Yeah, so that Vlad guy of yours? 5 runs, 3 home runs, 20 RBI.

Fuck that.

Also: King of the Make-Outs!

... I'll get my coat.

...I think my opinion of Vladimir Guerrero just improved about one millionfold.

After the Red Sox' win in Texas, it looks like I have managed to eke out a tie in the saves category.  I'm hoping that will be good enough for first place, provided my ERA and WHIP didn't get messed up too badly tonight.

[KeithHernandez]

If I could have just gotten one more stolen base, I would have won.  I think me and A-CAP tied, unless he miraculously overtakes my era, or I his batting average.

[melack]

Whoops, 10 RBI. Typo. But could you imagine 20? A dude would need to hit 5 grand slams in a single game to collect that many.

It was a good week for baseball. Fun was had, people who are afraid of tall black people gained respite from the tyranny of the NBA, and we all discovered that baseball players also enjoy building snowmen. Too bad my hitters hit like greasy butt.

[KeithHernandez]

So it shows my last weeks score as 5-5-0, but doesn't have me as being 0-0-1, is this a thing or am I just not giving it enough time?

Edit:  Fuck.

[melack]

I am in absolute dead last. Did I not predict this earlier? I believe I did. I foretold of a time where the man who made the most moves (myself) would ultimately just dig himself into a hole - which is true! Yes!

[melack]

Also, I've finally figured out how this scoring system works, and I'm pretty happy with it. I was worried it was going to be scored like a real sports league, where after a head to head matchup, you'd be credited with either a win or a loss - and that's it. But this one gives you a win or loss in ten full categories. The other way would have allowed way too much room for luck to rear its ugly head. This system here is quite a bit more rational than the one I was imagining in the early goings.

[littlefallsmets]

And despite my surprising myself with a win last week...

My pitching-heavy left-side-of-the-infield-weak roster and a snow-out combine to leave me with seven batters today.

Yikes.

[Turbo Ninja]

I have Indians tickets for Saturday.  They're playing the White Sox.  In between, the Indians are "hosting" the Angels in Milwaukee.

This raises the question: If the weather in Cleveland does not break and the field is unplayable for Saturday, will I have to travel THROUGH Chicago to get to Milwaukee so I can watch the Indians play the White Sox?  What if Comiskey is playable?  Will they just shift the game to Chicago and let the Indians bat in the bottom of the innings?

I'm trying not to think about it.

[melack]

Yeah, that Indians thing is bizarre. Really goes to show how great these MLB schedule-makers are when somehow a Cleveland team ends up playing home games in Wisconsin.

It would seem my hitters are finally picking up the slack, thanks in no small part to my Yankee-heavy lineup feasting on Sidney Ponson. I would be excited if my best pitcher hadn't just been placed on the disabled list.
