July 1, 200817 yr comment_10196 Picked up thome as a free agent, but I am sure I will have to use my #3 on wheeler now that percival aggrevated his injury. Only way I can get him though is to waive Putz.
July 2, 200817 yr comment_10204 As usual my add/drop hurt me. I picked up wellemeyer for his 2 start wek and he sucked tonight. I am in a catch 22. I HAVE to gain wins and k's in ALL leagues, yet when I try to it only ruins my ratios and I still don't get the wins. I have a 2 start starter for next week also I think. I guess I should just waive him and stoip it.
July 2, 200817 yr comment_10209 I added Chris B. Young and dropped slumping Headley in one league with a #3 and dropped Pierre for Wheeler in another with a #3. So disappointing though to have half the season left and have almost no chance. I will be very lucky if I can get within 20 points in any of my leagues by the ASB. I only have a week or two to decide whether to buy another team too. Fantasy sites are so dumb this year. CBS says borowski blew a win for Lee. Umm... no. Lee was out an inning earlier. Sites said felix would pitch this week. Nope. They're wrong so often now. btw I just looked and actually IT IS realistic that I could get under 20 out in 2 leagues by the ASB and I have a decent chance at coming back to win one of them and a slight chance in the other. So I still have the possibility of coming back even though I am 20+ out in all leagues. Maybe some people will fall asleep and let me move ahead of them inc ategories.
July 3, 200817 yr comment_10222 David Price has given up zero homers in almost 50 innings. Also Liriano had a great start, but had two bad ones before it.
July 3, 200817 yr comment_10225 I pulled the trigger on David Price and CHris R. Young both. They both could be pitching in the majors in 3 weeks. CBS is usually wrong, but they claim Price could be the best pitcher since felix, gooden, etc.
July 4, 200817 yr Author comment_10228 They did say he could be great but the quote your reffering to was meant to be sarcastic. They even said,"Insert latest phenom's name here, felix, gooden, koufax." I think Mark Prior could be put in their as well.
July 4, 200817 yr comment_10230 Nah. They weren't being sarcastic. They were simply mentioning that each top prospect will always be compared to big names like that. The fact that they were serious lies in the beginning of the emssage where it said he is too good for the minors and like I said he has not surrendered a homer all season.
July 4, 200817 yr comment_10231 Cool. Borowski lost his closing role right after I dealt rivera so now in one league my only closers are wagner, saito, and then setup man isringhausen. I have to HOPE franklin fallas aprt to even give me THREE clsoers.
July 4, 200817 yr comment_10233 No clue why, but someone waived Jered Weaver just in time for me to get him for tonight's game. I ahd #9 waivers and got him. Surprised me. I know his season stats aren't great, but his whip is good and he just came off of a no-hitter! Pretty unbelievable also that rotoworld said borowski was trusted as closer just a day or two ago and now he is replaced. They are wrong almost all the time now. Too busy joking and making fun of players (pierre) to get any of their stories straight.
July 5, 200817 yr comment_10239 Keep talking up santana and peavy. Neither is doing good. Especially Santana. I traded for him and he has been nothing but bad ever since. Looked like he was coasting tonight and now here he goes giving up runs also. Hardly "above all other pitchers".
July 6, 200817 yr comment_10243 I just did 2 blockbusters within 10 minutes in the same league. The way the protesters are though I am probably going to be screwed over since they are conjoining trades where one being vetoed would make the other disappointing. With both trades combined I did the following: I traded: Felix Hernandez John Lackey Johnathan Papelbon Rick Ankiel Josh Willingham I received: Alex Rodriguez Jake Peavy Whatever His First Name Is Saito Trevor Hoffman Aaron Cook When I look at it, it seems I "could" be LOSING in every category, but what has to be considered is I then can replace players so it adds roster space. If they pass, I will have santana and peavy at the top of my rotation and then arod, manny, vlad, dunn as part of my offense. Vlad has finally heated up lately.
July 7, 200817 yr comment_10247 Well I guess that's 1 or 2 guys I will refuse to deal with from now on. The peavy one is going to pass through and leave me with an extra player and then the arod one is protested max times and the guy who dealt me arod accepted ANOTHER deal involving nim now which is very unprofessional considering it's a weekly league and so it won't pass anywhere enar in time for this coming week so he could have waited and seen if ours passed or renegotiated with me on another. Instead he did not even say one word to me and did this other deal. I will now protest every deal in that league from now on.
July 7, 200817 yr comment_10248 Hope you're right that CBS never will psh through a trade on a mnday morning. Because if they do I will be asleep and have an illegal lineup for a week and if that happens I guarantee I will get my mney back somehow. I'm mad that the peavy deal went through so I had to waive 2 star marquis to even get my roster legal. And now I have too good of pitching with santana, peavy, lackey, felix, cain, lee and not good enough offense. I have HEADLEY at third and he is sucking.
July 8, 200817 yr comment_10250 I probably should have mentioned this sooner, as I doubt he is available in your leagues by now, but Hardy batted .600 for the entire week last week with 6 homers and he is 1 for 1 tonight. I hed him for the entire week (and before by a few days when he was already hot) in one league and I had him for most of the week in another. Cody Ross drove in 15 runs at Coors.
July 8, 200817 yr Author comment_10252 Thats cbs for ya. Biggest prizes, worst system. I'm sorry they screwed you because atleast your trying. So many people in my leagues are afraid to make any kind of trade. Not just with me but there are no trades getting done.
July 8, 200817 yr comment_10253 Well that one deal got protested too luckily so at least mine will get looked at. But knowing cbs I expect it to fail. CBS would have a tough time explaining how I am colluding when I am in ninth place and I am the one getting arod and people say I am the one getting the better end because they said saito pushed it over in my favor.
July 8, 200817 yr comment_10255 Commish vetoed both arod deals. So now I proposed hernandez/cain/hoffman for arod/saito He already accepted THE SAME DEAL wiuth the other guy that got vetoed though and he dealt david wright to someone else, so both wright and arod he dealt. Hopefully his arod one gets vetoed yet again.
July 9, 200817 yr Author comment_10257 I decided to take a chance on Adam Jones in a few of my leagues. Dropped Sheffield or Hinske for him. Not saying anybody should follow, just throwin it out there.
July 9, 200817 yr comment_10259 I was already going to. Interesting we both felt that way. I ahven't done it yet, but probably will tonight where I can afford to drop someone. I have noticed for a while now he is on fire average-wise and I have horrible averages.
July 10, 200817 yr comment_10263 Adam Jones got a 3 runner just now but I don't have him because I flat can't find anyone to waive. I picked him up for next week on my weekly team, but on my daily teams I would have to waive someone like isringhausen, putz, price, hairston, ludwick, gordon, willingham, or thome and all of those have had reasons to keep lately.
July 10, 200817 yr comment_10268 I wonder if I should not use oliver perez since COL has exploded every game lately. I hate to not use him though because I wanted someone else and didn't pick them up for the past 5 days since I wanted to keep oliver.
July 11, 200817 yr Author comment_10269 thats a tough call. I really have no idea on Oliver. He can throw a gem or blow up. He has been pitching better lately but that means nothing for him. I wish you good luck with that decision.
July 12, 200817 yr comment_10276 My decisions keep being great. I benched Cain this week and left Lackey in. Lackey gives up 15 hits and Cain dominates the cubs. I am undecided whether to buy a new team and I a almost out of time to do it. Maybe I will buy one then if I change my mind I will get a refund. I dunno, but I am 24+ out in all leagues. Half a season probably is not enough time to come back from that far down.
July 12, 200817 yr comment_10277 Well that was a waste. I paid the money and there is only ONE roto league and it has a whopping 1 person in it. I also don't know whether I like daily or weekly most. Guess I will have to get a refund. Just a shame I will lose all my money this year because I am confident that a second half team would be different, as I couldn't likely do as horrible with a new team since my bad luck is surely run out by now.
