Pssst! sMets! Hey sMets!

Lastings Milledge is still a POS ballplayer.

Furthermore, Blastings Thrilledge mistakenly thought he hit a home run last week (it didn't help that they set off fireworks), when in fact the ball had gone off the wall.  He was tagged out between second and third.

Oh man I have not been managing at all. My pitching staff needs some serious work. Maybe today...

Yes man. You are playing me this week. I noticed that you have one of the best fantasy players (so far), Alex Rios, rotting on your bench. Meanwhile injured Ellsbury takes up a starting outfield spot.

Meanwhile, the three lumbering first basemen in my lineup sneered at your absentee managing and decided that today they were going forces to hit the piss out of the ball.

Talk about a pitching let-down.  Halladay, Jonathan Sanchez, and Jered Weaver all pitching, that sounds like at least one win, right?  Well, no.  Also, Bengie Molina can take a flying fuck at the moooooooon.

Curse you Yahoo! From what I can tell, they have not yet counted any stats from the last 4 innings of the suspended and (eventually) completed Yankees-Twins game. This robbed me of a tie in the Wins category, as I had Burnett starting both the original day and the next.

Whatever dude.  One of my pitchers threw a perfect fuck*ng game this week and I STILL got crushed.  That seems unfair to me.

Oh, here's another thing.  You may have heard that uber-prospect Stephen Strasburg is going to make his major league debut for the Washington Nationals next week (Tuesday, June 8 to be precise).  As I am a partial season-ticket holder, and because I read a shitload of Nats blogs that all predicted his first start would be either June 4 or June 8, I was able to score tickets to this game a couple weeks ago and beat the rush.

Now, I have two co-workers with whom I regularly discuss baseball, and I figured I would take one of them.  Apparently, neither of them were able to get tickets on their own, and they both want to go.  How should I choose?  Ideas:
  • Coin flip
  • Auction:  Have them state how many beers they will buy me at the game, high bid wins.
  • steel cage death match

Yeah, that probably wasn't fair. And besides I don't even know if it changed things at all. I just heard about the game and wondered if I was playing him this week, and when I saw I was it was the first thing that came to mind.

The Strasmas situation has resolved itself.  They opened up some extra tickets to season ticket holders, so I was able to score some extras for one of the co-workers.  He still has to buy me beer though.
