T-Nation Baseball Week 1

I’m going to do it now because it’s probably going to be the only time this season that I will be in this postition.

Kuz - I own you!!

I will now return to doing taxes.

Seriously, though - I think I have a team full of #4 starters. Thru 2 games I have a whopping 1.2 innings pitched.

Damn you Rainjack – Damn you and your superior waiver position…

You stole Frank Thomas, and all I got was some sappy email from Yahoo! saying “Sorry, some slapass owner of the Shoeshone Arrowheads who had a higher waiver position STOLE Frank Thomas from you.”

Damn it.

BTW, I also want to note that the Fighting Amish, the team I am playing this week, is the proud owner of the first major leaguer to be bent over under the new MLB steroid policy: THe immortal Alex Sanchez.

That is all.

now this is just fucking stupid.

I’m about to cut my entire team.

The week ain’t over beeyatch! I noticed something interesting about the current “score” of the game in that it is a little misleading. It has you as up in several pitching categories, but you do not have 7 innings pitched yet to make it valid. Damn it all.

But geez, can my hitters suck any worse this week? They are keeeeeelling me!

So damn you and your Arrows, rainjack. Now if Miguel Tejada can just hit 7 or 8 home runs today, I will feel much better.

Kuz

  • Return with honor (and hopefully some hitting)

I was wondering if anyone else was going to try and snatch up the Big Hurt. I’ll give him a month after he gets off the DL, and if he’s not swinging the bat to my liking maybe we can hook up a trade.

Kuz -
That’s why I said I was going to do my gloating now, because my hitters will cool off, and my current pitching advantage is very short lived. I just hope I can get 5.1 innings from the rest of my guys before the end of the week.

Back to the tax returns…

Yeah, I know. I am just all grumpy because I am currently down 14-4, regardless of the reason. BAH! Get back to your tax returns, beancounter! I am going to pout in the corner. lol

Kuz

PS The fact I cannot access any fantasy baseball sites (I have a league on ESPN in addition to this T-Nation one) from work is brutal. I keep thinking I will miss out on some key free agent pick ups.

Well, I might not be any good at this, but look at this…

on the field at Great American, behind home plate during introductions, National Anthem, and that AWESOME B-2 Flyover!

The picture was taken with my cell… thus the fish eye look.

Great game too. 2-run homer to tie it in the ninth, followed by the “walk-off”

LA

Woo-hoo. One of my guys, Ryan Freel, got charged with drunken driving, careless driving and having an open container in a motor vehicle.

What are points for that? :wink:

Between Freel and Bonds, I’m thinking of changing my team name to The Delinquents. . .

I’m still gloating about my HYOOGE lead over Kuz. It should be even hyooger after the Day 3 stats are tallied.

That - AND I get the Big Hurt sometime today!

Eat your heart out BB.

Ah, stick it in your ear Tax Man…

Anyway, I’m winning this week – now if my team can just hold it together through Saturday… I didn’t realize the Amish would be so Fighting…

I hope I have enough of a lead to last out the week. I lose a point or 2 every day.

I’m going to get the StatTracker thingy, but not until after next Friday. I’d be even further behind than I am now if I had it.

you guys all suck.

every one of you.

I think I just made Kuz my beeotch. I may actually win week 1 - and with what is probably the crappiest pitching staff in MLB.

I cannot believe my team is doing even worse than before. Good God…

This week will not be soon forgotten, rainjack (you beancounting punk).

Kuz

And I’m doling out this ass-whoopin while spitting out tax returns like a Pez dispenser.

I’m down to my last 25 returns. Just watch what I can do when I can concentrate on baseball.

You’re next Shcyster Boy.

Weider -

Dude you got SHUT OUT!!!

What was the score in your game again? 20-0-4? Sheeeeittttt!

Vroom, you put up a good fight, but couldn’t close it out. the Bowlturners got turned the f’'k out. That was absolutely horrible. Good thing they aren’t giving extra points to the team that shuts the other guy out cause that was a slaughter.

OUCH! That looks like it hurts!
