[POJO_Risin]

No...wouldn't have traded Boone for Halladay...would now though...;)

Just went with the gut on Pineiro and Morris today...why throw those guys out there when I knew they'd get hammered by good offenses...

I'll wait until they feed off the weak...

may get beat this week though...with my pitching getting wacked...

[POJO_Risin]

Hafner's going to be good for a long time....this is just a touch of what he can do...

[POJO_Risin]

And I haven't gotten a loss from Pineiro yet...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I got absolutely lucky as hell today...

I completely forgot to set my pitching today, and had Washburn on the bench...

All he did was give up 10 runs (9 earned) in 5.1 innings....

Whew !!!!!

[POJO_Risin]

Looks like you and I both did the right thing...by accident...or not...

Washburn's a jackass...by the way...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Yeah, kinda like Halladay... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

Christ...Halladay could pitch left handed better than Washburn...

hell...he pitched better than Washburn with a damn meathook all year...

if he'd get run support like that overrated bastard...he'd never lose a game...

don't confuse the dl for sucking...;)

wanna trade him?

lmfao...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I actually wouldn't mind one more decent pitcher....

For the right price of course... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

You're asking ME for a pitcher after Halladay goes down and Pineiro gets shelled?

Yeah...I'll give you Pineiro...;)

[DlocRoth]

im a gonna cook somethin up. 13 games? no fuckin problem. lol

[POJO_Risin]

I don't doubt that in the least DLoc...

work the magic...;)

[DlocRoth]

damn...im gettin shelled.

[POJO_Risin]

It's early yet bro...

of course...you could always make a deal to change your fortunes...;)

[DlocRoth]

ok broham...... Victor Martinez. Gimme a name and we'll talk.

[DlocRoth]

i want another bat. And by the way, Martinez is on fire.

Or perhaps someone else with Mauer tossed in. He'll be back in 2 weeks.

[POJO_Risin]

Well...I have some bats...and they are ALL hot...

so make your offer...;)...and on we go...

since you take all my power anyways...you bastard...

[POJO_Risin]

I'm certainly interested in VMart...no doubt about it...

[DlocRoth]

Naw, you tell me. What do you think VMart is worth? Blalock? I always did like Mr. Helton. Lets play. Multiples, whatever. I need a boost, dog.

[POJO_Risin]

Alright...I'll put something together...

certainly I've got something you need...

let's have a looksee...and see what we can do...

[DlocRoth]

lol, you diabolical motherfucker. its on now.

[POJO_Risin]

How was that diabolical....lmfao...

I can't win for losing...and I haven't even offered up a deal yet...

I'm guessing you need power...so I'll throw some power out there to you...

[DlocRoth]

"You like oak, Jimmy?"
"Oak's nice."

You're diabolical, period. lol And i respect that.

[POJO_Risin]

I'll be honest here...lmfao...whether you believe it or not...

I'm NOT trying to be diabolical in the least...I'm trying to improve my team...obviously...

and am more than willing to give up some goods to get it...

I have a commodity...power...not sure how that happened...and I'll throw some your way...not a problem...

Yeah..I'll need good players in return...lol...but you'll get some back...

One you have actually mentioned...

[POJO_Risin]

You have to admit...that trade we made...didn't HURT you...

Look...I'm going to ultimately offer you up some players...

do with it what you will...not trying to trick you in the least...

and every guy I'm sending you will be from my starting lineup...which is a rare one for me...

[DlocRoth]

anyone on my team is available for the right price. Except for the rocket. I like him to win 21 this year.

[POJO_Risin]

Gotta Love that Clemens deal at this point...

although i think Prior will still be big down the stretch...

[POJO_Risin]

I'm trying to figure out if I really need a catcher...

think Posada is about to break out...

[DlocRoth]

im not sweatin you. i'll deal wit you anytime, anywhere.

[DlocRoth]

like i said, anyone except the rocket. Prior is done. I just need to shake my team up. they're stagnant.

[POJO_Risin]

This I know DLoc...

wish you would have countered my obvious low offers earlier in the year though...

didn't really want to go after Posada in a big deal...happy with that deal...but just not happy with my lineup right now...as stupid as that sounds...

[POJO_Risin]

And I know you'll deal bro...

hell...we set up our teams last year with a couple of good deals for both...

[DlocRoth]

Yes we did, yes we did. Did us both some good. So gimme a jump off point. There's gotta be something that wets your whistle.

[POJO_Risin]

There is...I'm just trying to figure out who I want on MY team down the stretch...from my team...before I let them go...

I think I have a deal for you...just trying to figure out if it actually helps me...lmfao...

[DlocRoth]

"im cool. got some pot? its not critical."
-DLR

Just lemme know...........

[POJO_Risin]

Well DLoc...it will come in the next 45 minutes...or in the morning at the latest...

probably tonight...just hang tight...lmfao...

[DlocRoth]

Aright man..... bonne chance. I'm outro. Make it spicy. lol Later.

[POJO_Risin]

Will do my brotha...

just check...it's a comin' soon...

to busy watching all the games...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Eyes...thanks...for leaving Beurhle and Benson on the bench...

Beurhle with a 2 hit complete game shutout...

Benson...8 innings of 5 hit ball...

gotta break there...

Newhan is fucking killing me...

[Eyes of the Night]

I hate my self and wanna die for leaving out those 2 pitchers ...

Whatcha going to do though, both of those teams were red hot going into yesterday ...

[DlocRoth]

waitin patiently..............

[POJO_Risin]

DLoc...did you get my PM?

[POJO_Risin]

Funny...days of 100 posts...

then days of none...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

WARF brought up a good topic on the site...

How many people do you have left from the draft...and who was the biggest steal...

checking it out now...

[POJO_Risin]

I have 10 people left from the original team...I'm guessing that's a high amount...

and looking at the draft board...

the last pick was Sean Casey by Va Beach...

not a bad last pick...

My draft amazes me at how crappy it was...

[Troy]

I have no idea who I had in the draft. ;)

[POJO_Risin]

You can check...off the front page...

[Troy]

That's a lot of work.

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...

we still need to make a deal of some sort...;)

[Troy]

Complete games can really be a difference maker...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...they can get you a win if you have a couple of innings eaters...

especially since there aren't many CG's out there these days...

[Troy]

I got one from Greg Maddux yesterday. His second in two weeks. I'm having a really good pitching week.

[POJO_Risin]

That makes one of us...I'm actually having a really good pitching week...just not getting results...

and for as good a week as I'm having...again...falling victim to one of those lucky ass pitching weeks from the team I'm playing...

but those are the cards...lmfao...

[Troy]

Va's been very quiet this week, I have a chance at beating him for the first time ever.

[POJO_Risin]

Watch it...he's a sneaky prick...

my team's going to hell in a handbasket...

[DlocRoth]

Poj.... re-send. sil vous palit

[POJO_Risin]

Check your e-mail bro...

I sent you a trade the other day...then pulled it because I wasn't sure I even wanted to do it...

consider that deal #1 sent your way...

my needs have changed since then though...not sure what the hell I'm looking for...but that's as good a start as any I suppose...

[POJO_Risin]

That was to DLoc by the way...not you troy...lol...

still wouldn't mind dealing with you troy...just have no clue where to go...

[DlocRoth]

VA got no skills.....lol kiddin bro. youre tearin it up. Poj...cmon bro, lay it down here or at yahoo

[POJO_Risin]

sent you another PM...

spells it out a bit...as a starting point..

[DlocRoth]

findin it

[POJO_Risin]

I don't know what the fuck I want to do at this point DLoc...

lmfao...

feelin' a bit like resigning...to tell you the truth...

hitting the midseason I don't give a shit period...

[DlocRoth]

did u see what im puttin up
??

[POJO_Risin]

The deal that you offered?...yeah...it's a good deal...

[POJO_Risin]

I don't know though...giving up my homer and rbi leader with no offense in return...christ...I'd have given YOU 50 dingers...lmfao...if I pull that deal...

[POJO_Risin]

counting Dunn in there...

[DlocRoth]

pull the string....like a santana changeup

[DlocRoth]

Dunn??? Need more....

[DlocRoth]

snap...... just hit 100 posts.



sweet

[POJO_Risin]

lmfao...congrats...

As god as my witness...if my wife doesn't come home soon...

there's a pillow with my 2 month olds' name on it...jesus christ...

[DlocRoth]

I got kids too....but it aint got nothin to do wit a deal....lol

[POJO_Risin]

No...but it has everything to do with sanity...lol....

[DlocRoth]

bump sanity. trigger....pull..... lol

[POJO_Risin]

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN OFFERED UP THE DEAL!!!!!

Not that I would take it anyways...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Mike Sweeney is hotter than hell...

[DlocRoth]

Damn you....... Pedro for Blalock. There...did I offer??

[DlocRoth]

and Sweens for Dunn

[POJO_Risin]

I don't want Dunn...

[POJO_Risin]

Alright...the game is afoot...

[DlocRoth]

ok the original

[POJO_Risin]

Oh no...lmfao...it doesn't stop there...

My most tradable and valuable trade asset...has to be packaged...

[DlocRoth]

omg!! Pedro and give me a name. I'm extending an olive branch here lol

[DlocRoth]

Note to self............ Poj dont wan a 10-4 pitcher...lmfao!! lol

[POJO_Risin]

dude...

I WANT Pedro...

I just have several holes on my team to fill...

I just lost Ordonez for the season...

and if I lose Blalock...that's a significant amount of offense to lose without any return...

[DlocRoth]

hmmmm. Pedro is a cunt........ Can we resume tomorrow?

[POJO_Risin]

That being said...I'm still thinking about it...

[DlocRoth]

Im growing impatient. lol

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...yeah bro...I'm going nowhere...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...like I was when I offered up Blalock to three quarters of the league...only to be rebuffed...the bastards!!!!...;)...

[Eyes of the Night]

My pitching has been lucky this week Risin? ... not ... your staff is the one's giving up all the runs ... Jason got shelled, Chilling just got shelled ...

Just because you had 0 era's for the first half of the week that was from your relivers ... doesn't constitute the team your playing being lucky ...

You'll come on top in saves though, that's your only guarantee ...


That's the way I see it ...

[Eyes of the Night]

You're selling Blacock way to high there Risin that's why everyone rebuffed you ...

Specially if you think he can only go in bulk ...

Hasn't done shit the second half thus far ...


Sweeney is the shit! ... kicking my ass ...

[POJO_Risin]

Oy...Eyes...Eyes...Eyes...I guess 7 dingers and 24 Ribbies isn't doing shit the past month...I wonder what that would be doing on your team...and ps...I've rebuffed several even up deals...1to1 for Blalock as well...;)...just don't want to go there...I'm not going to deal my best power hitter for a slightly lesser player that may or may not fill a hole...believe me...if I keep him...he won't hurt me...;)

and Eyes talkin' Smack...I like it...

let me retort

I don't think he can only go in bulk...I just choose to shop him that way...and I KNOW I can make a straight up deal with anyone who has any sense (many) who have said they would...I just don't want to...because quite frankly...I don't have to...my offense is that good...

yeah...I may sputter here and there...but when it's all said and done...I'll take them against anyone in the league...

Now...as far as your staff goes...

You got lucky...4/5 of my staff got jacked this week...your gain...my loss...and you sat your 2 best starts...that's what I meant by that statement...

and gee...thanks for pointing that out about my relievers...;)...didn't know that...here I thought it was all from my starters...lmfao...

c'mon Eyes...I'm sober...you're never...;)

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah bro...Sweeney's a house of fucking fire...

every time someone on my team slacks off...another goes on some fucking moronic tear...

god it's hard to fucking get him in my damn lineup...

actually had fucking Helton on the damn bench tonight...

[Eyes of the Night]

I haven't drank in 2 weeks;) ...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...it was somethin' then...;)

[POJO_Risin]

It's amazing what happens when good hitters get zoned in... .300 hitters...

and they go on those stretches where they bat around .500...

Mike Sweeney watch...

today...3 for 4...

unreal...just unreal...

[Eyes of the Night]

You see Arod get hit by Varitek? ... more like a bitch slap but he got jacked! lmfao ...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...I like Varitek going after ARod...

but then the faggot keeps on his mask...

coupla pussies...

and here come the sox...jesus christ...

9-6...runners at 2nd and 3rd...1 out...

you don't have any RedSox do you Eyes?

[POJO_Risin]

Another base hit...9-7...

runners at the corners...

1 out...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I made the "smart" move this morning by benching Varitek and moving Craig Wilson to my catcher....

[POJO_Risin]

I haven't made any damn smart moves this week...'cept benching Morris and Pineiro...

and those two pinheads are starting tomorrow...but fuck it...I'm getting crushed in ERA and WHIP anyways...maybe I'll get lucky...

[POJO_Risin]

My Tribe sweeps a doubleheader today...granted...against the shitheal Royals...but...on the 10 year anniversary celebration of the Jake, and with a final at bat win...the 127th such win since the park opened...

pretty sweet...

It also gets my Tribe back to .500...and only five games back of Chicago...and the wildcard spot as well...

maybe they won't be selling...

although Lawton is probably going with Sizemore called up...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Jesus Christ Poj, 4:58AM ???

You need therapy buddy.... ;)

[POJO_Risin]

No...it's called...HAVING A 1 MONTH OLD YOU JACKASS...

[POJO_Risin]

Who can figure this shit out...

Morris...of the 36.7 ERA for the week...goes 1 2/3 in his first outing...and is now in the midst of completing a Complete Game 6-hit shutout...

Not complaining in the least...but...lmfao...just has to make you scratch your head...

[POJO_Risin]

Pineiro also throwing a shutout...albeit in the fourth inning...

that's about when he got lit up last weekend...

[POJO_Risin]

What happened to Vlad?

Still out from getting beaned?

Jesus...I didn't realize it was that bad...

[POJO_Risin]

Of course...as I'm typing that, Pineiro gives up a dinger...lmfao...

better keep my yap shut...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Aaaaah, memories.... ;)

Did she piss on your face yet ???

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...

no...pissed on me...but not on my face...

that was my son...

amazing my friend...how far they can piss at such a young age...

he actually pissed up over my head...and nailed the wall...

the Wall looked like Sonny Corleone's car in the Godfather by the time he was done...lmfao...

My girl is a mad pisser...but not for distance...for obvious reasons...

lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...

Pineiro into the seventh...7 K's...and 1 ER...

can't figure these guys out for the fucking life of me...

both Pineiro and fucking Morris go a combined 4 innings last week...and give up 13 runs...lmfao...

today...16 innings..and 1 run...

WTF?

[Troy]

I don't understand these rules... Milton gets 12 k's, only 2 earned runs and doesn't get the decision. Does it mean the closer blew the lead and has to pitch out of it or something?

[POJO_Risin]

One of the great things about baseball...

he didn't finish the inning...and they took the lead in the bottom of the inning...

so the pitcher that finishes the inning becomes the pitcher of record...

nice huh...a one out win...

[POJO_Risin]

you still got some serious stats though...

[Troy]

Yeah, I'll take those 12 k's ;)

[POJO_Risin]

I need Boston to light up Contreras...

[POJO_Risin]

On a sidenote...don't forget about OUR trade deadline...

August 15...I believe...

[Eyes of the Night]

Good games last week Pojo ... at least you didn't skunk me;) ...

Onwards and upwards, see you in the playoffs if not again this year ...


Contreas has won it for me before and played him to win the K's ... in doing that I lost all my era's ...

[WARF]

Three teams... battling for two wild card spots... eyes,warf,clams all tied up... and I have the honor of playing 1st place pojo this week!!!

This should be a close one... I finally have my team the way I want it to look.... and Jose Reyes is finally gettin' his fantasy value... 9 stolen bases this week I believe... and I got another reliever after Wagner went down for the 90th time this year. Should be able to keep my WHIP and ERA down... with dropping Loaiza...

[Fairwrning]

its getting interesting indeed..Troy has lost some close ones lately..lotta teams bunched up for that last spot...
I finally got some offense against one of the fronrunners yesterday..lets see if it continues...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

It's a long week, my friend.... ;)

[Troy]

Va is the comeback king.

[Troy]

4-6 will go down to the wire imo.

[WARF]

me and pojo are gonna have a tough fight... I thought he had the edge in SB's but reyes and crawford both have 2 sb's for far tonight.... leaving us tied at 3... my biggest problem will be winnin' the ERA and WHIP department... Especially with Santana turnin' the lights out every game... we'll see what happens... if I beat pojo again I think I can win this league.... if I lose however... I won't even make the playoffs!!

It's gettin' down to the wire!!!

[Fairwrning]

Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan

Don't i know it...too long...but real important..2nd place is huge..no extra playoff game..i really don't wanna have to face any of the 4-6 (if i don't end up one) that extra game...

[Troy]

I know I will not make the playoffs. This is typical. Start out shitty, have a good run, then tank in the end. If it can happen in football, it can happen here.

[POJO_Risin]

Especially when you consider September call-ups...and players benched to rest for the playoffs...

Starters with 5 Innings...instead of 7 or 8...

rooks stealin' jobs...

WARF...you have a badass team...

and my offense truly is weak right now...have a couple of guys slumping at the wrong time...

Hopefully I can get a good start from Schill tonight...instead of the balloon ERA and WHIP like his past couple...

of course...I don't have to count on Halladay killing me this week...

[POJO_Risin]

Just Morris and Pineiro...

[WARF]

LOL

I have a zero ERA... and a 3.00 WHIP!!!

I finally have a couple starting pitchers tonight.... I just hope they don't get rocked... I had 9 SB last week... and my record for the season was 3.... Reyes is really coming through for me.... I just need production for a few more days... and I think I can make a serious run for the world series... lol... I can't believe i'm taking this soo seriously... the league trophy and 25 cents will buy me a cup of coffee!!!

Say something for old times sake pojo...

Do you hear the footsteps....

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...jesus...here we go again...;)

[POJO_Risin]

Fuck...my team isn't very good...lmfao...got a bad feeling about this week...

and looking to deal...

if anyone's interested...

[Fairwrning]

so much for my lead...i think i have 3-4 points locked up..rest up for grabs..I may lose the rest..i need some k's...

[WARF]

Morris....

He got rocked harder than the front row of 1983 US Festival...

My condolences...

I think your ERA and WHIP are gonna go through the ceiling!!!

No shit...I had absolutely no thought of starting him...lmfao...had him and Lowe in the SP slot...and was intending on pulling them...

actually told Va that while I was talking to him yesterday...

So of course...I get offline...get a phone call that a bunch of friends were going out to shoot some pool...

Of I go...get there...shoot a game...and notice the Giant game on TV...third inning...8-0...Morris is already gone...and I realized I forgot to fucking pull him...

Goddamn it...but it made getting drunk worth it...lmfao...I had a reason...

well...WARF owns me...so I'll need someone to knock his ass off before I have to play him...;)...just like in the basketball playoffs...

[POJO_Risin]

Onwards and upwards...my offense blows...my pitching is weak...

and I'm in first place...but...not for long...no...not for long...

things will close up this week...as they always seem to do...

just hope my bats wake up sometime before December...;)

LOL

Why is it i'm always the hottest team in baseball/basketball etc... and always fighting for a wildcard spot?

I ain't gonna start DAY, if he is my franchise player I might as well be eliminated this week!!

I'm still pissed I dropped Loaiza a week before he gets traded to the yankees... shit!

[POJO_Risin]

Fuck Loiaza...the Yanks won't bring down his ERA or WHIP...which both suck...

look at the guy he replaced...they're like the same fucking guy...

No clue why that shit always happens to you...but it surely does...every year...;)

[WARF]

Check our league message board Pojo!

There has been an interesting change of events...

They will shock you....

[POJO_Risin]

Oh christ...now what...

[POJO_Risin]

bwahahahaha...you realize...we're the only two people that even look there...

[WARF]

I just picked up El Dookie or whatever the fuck you call him.... he's been putting up Santana numbers all month!

[POJO_Risin]

Santana...2 hitter thusfar today...

both fucking dingers...lol...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...my hitters suck this week...today as well...but I have three dingers so far...so at least I should keep that lead...lmfao...I should challenge your RBI lead...

and god willing...take the runs...that's tied...I can't pass you now...just hoping to make it close...

[POJO_Risin]

Now if I can just get my closers to get some action today...and if Schmidt can lock down a complete game shutout...;)

[POJO_Risin]

Okay...Santana with 8 strong innings...2 Earned runs...and the win...

so far...so good...

2 saves thusfar as well...Lidge and takatsu...

[WARF]

My team collapsed today... I think I have one or two hits... and there's a fuckin' massive thunderstorm in south florida today... doesn't look like Cabrera or Lowell will finish their game.... I am offical in deep shit!

I just hope that fucker eyes.... can choke worse than me!

[POJO_Risin]

Well...if it makes you feel any better...

my offense is shitting the bed other than dingers...my average won't improve...

I'm just hoping I can get some innings in with the relievers...and if Schmidt can give me a good one...a great one...I can creep back into this...

These needs though are generally when I don't get them...

[POJO_Risin]

Fun week...

damn...why did I fuck with Morris...

[POJO_Risin]

I can't see Schmidt dominating St. Louis' offense...but I have to leave him in to lock down the K lead that I think I may have reacquired...depending on you relievers...

Santana had 12...

has that guy been huge for me or what...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...Julio got you a good inning...but 2 walks...to not help your WHIP...but that will wash with Lidge...who gave up a hit and a walk...

watching the Milwaukee game closely...tied 7-7 in the 9th...Kolb warming up...

[POJO_Risin]

Oh shit...Kolb got hammered...2 runs in 1/3rd of an inning...

well damn if that doesn't help me out a ton...;)

[WARF]

LOL

5 of my pitchers did not give up a single run.. if you look at the records... but suppan and another pitcher got MORRIS'D!!!

I'll let you win 9-3.... if you lock my team up...i'll settle for anything at this point...

[POJO_Risin]

No way I go up 9-3...

I'll be lucky to scratch even if Schmidt has a great game...

You busted my ass all week...

my team batting fucking .230...

My pitchers blowing chunks...

Just got lucky with a few dingers...and a couple of dominating starters...

and PS...most of my guys had 0's...

but Morris...got MORRISSED...

CHECK OUT HIS ERA...and figure out what happened to my team...lmfao...

funny thing about Morris...he has 2 or 3 fantastic starts...then on horrid start...and I mean Horrid...

[POJO_Risin]

Right now...depending on your best player...Pujols...and you know what that fucker does to me every time...lmfao...hoping Schmidt can stymie him...well...and the rain...because you have the Fla. guys sitting there...

if it ended right now...with a good start from Schmidt...

I can tie it...I hope...

and that's hopeful thoughts...

Schmidt hasn't been all that good his past three or four starts...just this past start he had...

I need him to dominate tonight...I just can't see St. Louis getting jacked two nights in a row...

[Eyes of the Night]

sb= warf
Avg= warf
W= warf (unless schmidt kicks my ass)
CG= warf (read lasr verse)
k= pojo (hey,santana two starts this week)
SV= pojo (looks like a done deal)
ERA = undecided (pojo is creepin')
WHIP = pojo (unless schmidt fucks up ... santana posted a 0.25 today... i think)

it's a 5-5 tie... pending on what Schmidt does...and if the marlins ever finish their game)

[POJO_Risin]

No way I can catch you in ERA...no way...

If Schmidt wins...we tie...I just don't see it...

I'll take the 5-5...but notice...I have to have Schmidt go apeshit to do it...

If I get five wins against you...I'll be one happy fucker...

I think I have you in WHIP...unless Schmidt gets rocked...

and that's possible...

[POJO_Risin]

And Eyes...I'm still interested in a deal...if you want to shake your team up...

I'm getting ready to make my last ditch effort to trade some guys...

You know where I'm at...

[WARF]

Aren't playoffs next week?

[POJO_Risin]

Either way WARF...these are the weeks it's fun...

when I have to check all day Sunday to see if I have a chance to bump up...

I'll take these weeks any time...it's what makes fantasy fun...

I hate getting blown out...lmfao...which happens every so often...as Va can attest to...normally he's the one that figures out how to do it...

I like blowing teams out though...;)...make no bones about it...

[POJO_Risin]

No WARF...No...not even close...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Five weeks left until playoffs...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

You have more than enough time to catch up...get 6th...fifth...fourth...lmfao...

I beat you last time 8-4 I believe... or 9-3...

I thought you saidsomething aboutplayoffs starting earlier... Isawthe schedule... and we have a few moreweeks...

sorryfor the run on sentences...i broke mykeyboard spacebar when kolb took the mound!!

[POJO_Risin]

No...trade deadline though...2 weeks...

playoffs start in September...

should be interesting come playoffs...

you beat me 9-2...coincidentally...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

I've lost three weeks...

to you...RBW...and fairwrning....

and probably a fourth this week...

I've tied once...to Va...

[POJO_Risin]

Florida is officially rained out...

[POJO_Risin]

I've got LA and San Diego tied right now...1-1...

hoping Gagne can get in the game and give me a good inning...

[WARF]

just my fuckin' luck...

I need a Mr. Pujols Risin..... to keep on Risin'....

lol

I need a 5-5 with 3 hr's and 8 rbis!!!

[POJO_Risin]

I can't see him doing THAT against Schmidt...

but that WOULD be my luck against you...you bastard...

if he does that...I WILL rechange my name to Pujols_Risin

[WARF]

Okay, and I will change my name to Carlos DelWARFO!!! lol

I knew I should have picked up Redman...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...Redman looked good today...

[POJO_Risin]

Gagne's in the game...

[POJO_Risin]

My Luck...Giles will knock him...and kill my chance at catching you in the pitching stats...

[POJO_Risin]

Nevin walks...and here comes Giles...

lmfao...double play...

my offense sucks already...I NEED NO FUCKING OFFENSIVE HELP...

[POJO_Risin]

God damn it...

double play you bastards....better yet...a K...something...

[POJO_Risin]

OK...three pitches...and a K...

Giles blows...

Now...2 more...

[POJO_Risin]

Okay...Gagne gives me an inning...no runs...1 K...1 Walk...

Whip comes down a little more...

ERA as well...

Now...if Schmidt can just stay around 2 runs tonight...and gets the win...and gets a complete game...

LMFAO...not looking for to much...

[POJO_Risin]

Alright...how about this for luck...

Gagne goes 3 innings...gets the freakin' win...tying me with WARF for Wins this week...gives up no runs...and keeps his whip to 1....

I've got a shot at some pitching stats...

C'mon Schmidt...

I feel a disaster coming on...

[POJO_Risin]

And just like that...Rolen with a 2 run dinger in the first inning...

well...at least Pujols struck out...

so much for that...

brief ray of light...and the door slams shut...damn it...

[Fairwrning]

Rolen and Edmonds are fuckin monsters man..i like my team

[Fairwrning]

just checked mine..I've lost 4....Eyes/Warf/Pojo/Dloc...and a tie with Warf...hell, Warf is the only team i haven't beaten...yet;)

[POJO_Risin]

That's funny...same with me...only team I haven't beaten...

so we're first and third...WARF is what...7th?

He beats the teams in the top third...and that's it...lmfao...

must be a focus issue...

[POJO_Risin]

So wrning...after this week...we'll be identical in that respect...4 losses (by week) and a tie...

the only difference would be my run of going like 50-6 during that one stretch...

[POJO_Risin]

and schmidt is groovin' a bit now...

5 K's in three innings...just K'ed Rolen...

[POJO_Risin]

If he can just get himself to the sixth inning...and not give up another run...

keep the ERA around three...god that's a bitch of a lineup though...

[Fairwrning]

i had a 3 game losing streak where I went 9-24 i think during your run..that killed me or i would be on your ass..lmao

im watchin this game...2 nice changeups to get Rolen...

[POJO_Risin]

wrning...no offense bro...but the last place I want you...is on my ass...

looks like you may end up there anyways after this week...who knows...

Shit...I was in 7th place at the start of that run...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah on the Schmidt pitches...

nearly every pitch below the strike zone...the guy has taught himself to win...

funny...the guy is a stud...31 years old...and never been close to a 20 game winner...

shows you how good guys like RJ and Clemens are...hell...RJ didn't start until he was 30...so who knows with Schmidt...oughta win 20 this year...

[Fairwrning]

noticing how most of the Cards have the same batting stance...or very close..wonder if thats intentional?

[POJO_Risin]

I'm not sure about the Cardinals...

I remember about 15 years back...Walt Hriniak was the batting coach of the Chicago White Sox...and just about everyone batted the same way...

[POJO_Risin]

Just realized something...I think LaRussa was the coach of those teams...

I'm guessing it is on purpose...

[POJO_Risin]

I think Mike Easler is the batting coach in St. Louis.....

[Fairwrning]

hey Pojo..changing the subject here..when are we gonna have the football draft bro?...how about a couple of weeks b4 the season..to allow for pick-ups and trades b4 the season...

[POJO_Risin]

I'm still leaning towards the week before...I don't want anyone wasting their time drafting someone 1...then having them go down in the last week of preseason...

[POJO_Risin]

I'll set the waiver line for a day...and we'll get a solid week to make moves...and shit like that...

[Fairwrning]

thats cool...man, what an at bat by Bonds..love or hate the guy..he can flat out hit..

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...damn near hit that out too....after about the 4th or 5th pitch...you could see him really zone in...I'm surprised he didn't hit that out...

[POJO_Risin]

That was a long single by Pujols...

Schmidt looks like he's out of juice...get him to the 6th...and get him out of there...

[POJO_Risin]

Alright...a long one today...

looks like I may have salvaged some W's...just have to wait and see...

I almost want the Giants to take the lead against the Cards to keep Izzy from coming in and screwing it up...

just have to wait and see...

of course...he could put me over the top...

[Troy]

Damn... almost 100 k's last week. At least I finally pulled out a damn win.

[POJO_Risin]

Dude...that's a lot of K's...

I had a huge pitching day...

pulled out a 7-4-1 win...

and that helps...

Remember guys...2 weeks until the trade deadline...

and please...no dumping...not even to me...;)

[Troy]

Yeah, 97 k's. Pulled out the 7-5 win. My first winning week in about 6-8 weeks I think. I guess it was still good that I could keep losing and hold the 6th spot though...

[redblkwht]

Id like to make my decisions quick, in prep for my auto draft.

[DlocRoth]

POJ.... sorry man, I've been away. Got your proposal. Is Sweeney goin on the shelf?

[WARF]

Alright... I'm up 9-1... ready to blow a mammoth lead!!!

[WARF]

Hey pojo... Vinny Velvet posted in the EUAS... his first post on the year... lol

No bro...he sat a day...reports are that his back is as good as it's been in a couple of years...they are just resting him a game to make sure it stays that way...

[POJO_Risin]

RBW...you are going to set it up so you autopick?

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO WARF...checked it out today...you're tied 5-5...

VV posted...no shit...this I gotsta see...

[WARF]

he's already got 7 k's in 4 innings and 1 hit!!

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...that's alright...I missed Schmidt's start last night damn it all anyhow...

[WARF]

I proposed 6 trades yersterday... all of them got shot down... and one was countered!

LOL

Eyes offered me 4 players for pujols!

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...and here I sit...not offering up shit...

You want a deal WARF...let me know...

[POJO_Risin]

Well...the date is going to be August 29th for the draft...and we're looking at 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon...

if you give me a rank listing...but you have to rank all the positions in one haul...I can pick for you...and I'll take your top rated player...

[POJO_Risin]

I could see yesterday coming...

[Fairwrning]

Wakefield is gettin rocked..but winning thanks to a 6 run inning...13.75 era...christ

[POJO_Risin]

You have our favorite overrated knuckleballer I'm guessing?

[POJO_Risin]

Wakefield has given up 6 dingers...and still may win the game...

fucking pathetic...

[POJO_Risin]

Clemens getting touched up against the Expos in the seventh...well...not touched up...but gave up a run...now down 2-1...

[Fairwrning]

Originally posted by POJO_Risin

lmao..ill take it..ERA is killin me tho

[Fairwrning]

12.60 era ..2 k's ....and a win..unreal....Detroit sucks..

[POJO_Risin]

Man...I can't believe I missed fucking Schmidt's start...bastard went a day early...and I didn't check...

If I had his start...I'd win the ERA and WHIP...and have a shot at the K's...

damn it...

[Troy]

I have pitching wrapped up but my offense is blowing this week. I'm leading in SB's but I don't think I'll hold it. All I need is one offensive catagory...

[POJO_Risin]

I had a completely shitty week...I can't believe I'm leading any categories...

My offense is blowing up...ah well...

Renteria went 5-5...

Sweeney 3-4...

and Blalock 2-4...

So there is hope out there for the Tribe...

[POJO_Risin]

That being said...I wouldn't be surprised to see me either tie or lose this week...

[POJO_Risin]

I'm gonna get passed in hits...homers...maybe runs...

I'm gonna get toasted this week...

DLoc had a decent day today...

gotta give props where they are due...

[Troy]

What are you worried about? Aren't you still in first?

[POJO_Risin]

Not worried...just hate losing...;)

[Fairwrning]

here we go 3rd time thru.....rubber game with Eyes...split the first 2...Eyes hangin by a thread for the playoffs...can I break him;)

[Troy]

I'm rooting for you wrning!

[WARF]

Our series is 1-1

Should have been 2-0!!!

[DlocRoth]

Ok Poj. I cant deal any of these fools. My team is hitting, at least the 2 you want. Dunn is on fire. Colon has won 5 in a row. Damn, I almost waived his ass a month ago. Anyways, Blalock is slumping. Sweeney has my interest but I aint giving up Colon, Pedro AND Dunn. Cmon man....

[WARF]

It's funny how pojo started off with a weak pitching staff...

Remember your sleeper of the year was Brandon Webb??

Now, he's got Santana, Schilling, Schmidt, and every other mofo in the top 20... lol

Hey pojo... I sent ya a trade.... Lowell for Blalock... heads up...

[DlocRoth]

LOL.... fucking dictator. Fleecing everyone. I'd really like to help ya Poj, but how the hell can I sleep tonite knowing I gave you Schmidt, Pedro and Colon? BWAHAHAHAHAHA

You play the game well, my friend.
Hey WARF, am I playing you this week?

[WARF]

I never can remember who i'm playing... cuz the names are different!

All I know is I rejected pojo's counter offer today.... sorry... I like to take hot NY METS players off the waiver wire and collects superstars.... it's the only way to make up for my terrible drafting techniques!!!

Actually I might keep Cameron... he's been around for awhile and never really reached the 40 HR mark... but I think if he can up his batting average.... I might possibly have a stable 3rd spot at outfielder since I had to put Miguel at 3rd base.... with LOWELL/ KORNEKO trade....

I think that was a good deal for you today...Lowell's historically a bum down the stretch...

I don't play the game well...honest to christ...

I just get lucky here and there...

looking to deal...but to be honest...will be happy going with what I got.

That being said...I'm here to deal if anyone's interested...

can't believe I can't get anyone to go past the first couple of offer/counter-offers...but hell...what can you do...

if anyone's interested...feel free to let me know...

and if you're interested in Blalock and/or Sweeney DLoc...just let me know...they certainly are on the table...

3rd baseman, its all i wanted. An everyday 3B-
I'll take my chances. Kornerko was my UT in which i have
other options.
Rock n Roll!

[POJO_Risin]

I didn't say the deal was bad for you rbw...

I know you needed a 3b...and you could have done a lot worse than Lowell...
