T-Nation Baseball Week 5

I’M LOSING TO WEIDER!!

Is there a support group for this? Probably not, as no one has ever lost to him before.

I’m gonna go kill a cat to help me deal with this.

Dude, your avatar change totally threw me. Isn’t it sad that I know who is posting what now just based on that picture? Yikes.

On a side note, I am actually up 16-2! GOOD TIMES PEOPLE! My starting pitchers have been exemplary this season (thank you boys) but my hitters (outside of Miguel Tejada) all suck hard. Anyone need some pitching? I got more starters than I know what to do with if you got some hitting you can see to parting with, especially at 1B.

Kuz

P.S. RJ - I will be on Halo 2 for a while this evening. The new playlists are out, the levels have been reset, I got my gamer chair and soccer is not until 10 PM. Bring it on, cowboy.

I’m afraid to go look… and what’s with the lame trade offers?

Anybody still optimistic about Bonds?

I’ll let him go pretty damn cheap.

Send me an offer if you’re interested.

Please? :wink:

I posted the link to the original thread below. I don’t know why I did, but I did. I like seeing red letters in my posts.

Hey JW -

Just in case you’ve missed it - I’m ahead of you as of this morning.

That’s right - From losing 15-4 to winning 10-9.

I am Spartacus.

I’m selling the Big Hurt cheap. Anyone want him?

By the way - if you look closely - I am in 2nd place. That, in spite of the fact that I had the worst batting week ever and I accidently left Clemens on the bench for his Friday start against the Cubs.

I think that says something about the quality of your competition… except, of course, for your most excellent week 2 opponent.

I can’t believe I’m behind the Canadian in the standings… Even after we stole one of their baseball teams and moved it to the nation’s capital…

BB -

You’re last 2 posts seem to collide with one another.

Now are you a quality opponent? Or are you worse than an Canadian?

I don’t think it can be both, now - Do you?

It can be if the Canadians are dirty cheaters, …eh?

I don’t know how they do it, but they are very clever …eh? I think it has something to do with a grand scheme to water down our beer – which has already been largely successful.

That’s it! I was wondering what to do tonight.

I’m watching Strange Brew!

I had missed it, thanks.
WTF?
I even made some pitching changes and everything.
Oh well.
I bow before the the baseball brilliance of rainjack–and feel priveliged and honored to be allowed to play his team.

BTW, you like seeing red in your posts?
Are you easily distracted by shiny objects too?

Never trust a country with a foreign queen on its currency. :wink:

I don’t see what sexual preference has to do with anything…what’s that?
Oh.
Carry on.

You could also jump on Halo 2 and I could learn ya a thing or two about intergalactic beatdowns.

I’m not saying a word…

is that a record, btw?

goddammit, I had that fucking juiced up texan on the ropes, and then half my team didn’t fucking play yesterday.
Goddam rain outs.
Why aren’t they all playing in a dome anyway?

Serious question for Kuz (cuz he’s smart) and RJ (cuz he’s the commish)

Earlier in the week I set a line up for today. I moved Mussina back to “Pitcher”, put someone on the bench, and brought Wade Miller in as an SP–since he’s starting today, it made sense.
Now, it’s not showing up on the fantasy page, in fact Miller has gone all the way back to the bench and is still listed as being on the DL.

What’d I do to screw that up?

edited to say:
I’ve gone back and re-done everything, and as of now it seems to be working right. But if somehow Miller doesn’t get the credit for the start…
I’m still curious what I might have done wrong though.
