Well-played, Zombies, a solid tie.

When we meet again, my team will probably be a bit different.

[melack]

I wish I could say I was pleased with this result, but the zombies don't play for ties. They play for braaaaiiiiiinnnnnssss.

Exciting week, Men with No Name... I think I got the advantage at the wire but well-done still.

My pitchers only seem to know how to be brillant and completely terrible, never in-between.

[Drygioni]

Not being funny here, can anyone tell me honestly how I'm doing so far?

Am I winning in an exciting, under-doggerish manner?

[melack]

Man, I miss last year's team when I had good pitchers and was thoroughly unemployed for the majority of the season. I really had a lot of time to devote to picking up gems from the scrap heap. Now it's a little tougher. Plus we got Judy the pool shark to deal with.

[littlefallsmets]

As much as this is going to screw me over this week...

One problem you seem to be havin', Jude, is that you aren't moving your bench players to play on days where your usual nine have a travel day or something and... you're losing counting statistics for it. Runs and stolen bases and RBIs and home runs and stuff.

Your team put up a great effort today already... but had you played all of your available players, you basically would've handed my heart to me instead of my heart merely being partially barfed-up...

Because even on a travel heavy day, I was able to start eight players out of nine... because my roster is heavy on players with multiple positional eligibility and so on.

Also, really, you're probably carrying too many bench guys anyway... if you figured out which ones you could pare down, you could have another starting pitcher or two to cycle in when they're starting and really collect on the pitching counting stats.

Because... right now, from the looks of this week... you could right kill me in ERA, WHIP and AVG but I could well collect on all the other seven categories just out of sheer bulk of eligible players and my ability to properly cycle them into non-bench positions on the days where they're useful.

Man, I am way too much of a Boy Scout. haha.

Once I understood this (mainly the ability to rotate a lot of players, but all of what lfm said) I did much better.  This is all you need to know-the stats are pretty obvious.

[Arachno-capitalist]

It figures the season that I finally dig in and become a full blog-reading roster-knowing fan of the mets, they flub the opening.

[jaydub]

That'll teach you.  Isn't part of being a fan of such teams as the Mets and the Cubs learning to drink deeply of the bitterest dregs?

Thankyou!

I will try to do this.

Judy, man... your pitching is kinda lackluster? But your hitting is goddamn Murder's Row. Seriously. You have a potent goddamned offense on that team and it only lends to the idea that you are sharking us, just lying in wait until you can find the right starting pitching to add.

Also... sports-but-not-baseball-related:

Pao Gasol was at the Eels concert I was at last night. This is not that big of a thing but... like... I guess an Eels concert was the last place in the fuck*ng world I'd expect to see a basketball star. He had to sneak in during the first song so that he wasn't mobbed and sat in the front row.

A 7'2" bearded white guy in millionaire designer clothes is one of the most obvious things in the world.

[littlefallsmets]

And... good game, Jude.

My math says I got you 7-3 but... seriously, you've got an amazing hitting team.

Put any kind of attention into your pitching and you'll have a winner.

Thankyou! Well done for winning.

I've got a bit of time this afternoon so I'll see what I can do regarding any immediate rises to the top of the scoreboard. Pitching you say..

[melack]

Good God, my team is awful. I've all but given up hope on repeating my title. Now all that's left is to play for pride, for vengeance, and for victory. Except not victory. Maybe just a double dose of vengeance.

Dear Garret Anderson:

Thank you for your long and valuable career under the halo. Your contribution to the franchise in being an integral part of its only world championship team as well as its all time RBI leader is vastly appreciated.

All that said, could you hire a left hander to throw you slow curve after slow curve until you learn how to recognize and stoke that damn thing. I figure you should probably plan that into your budget. Especially since me, Joe Blowjob Public, has recognized that you haven't hit a damn thing in that situation for at least three motherfuck*ng years, you bitch ass potato headed wobbly doll fart licking sewer king bastard...

Oh geeze. Sorry about that.

In closing, thanks for your proud and long standing service.

P.S. You Gumby-headed SOB

Hee hee. One of my favorite M's blogs has a slightly different take on Garrett Anderson.
