[Stupid Flanders]

Not a great beginning. Buerhlehle being knocked around.

[miko]

Damn, let's go Marauders!

[boo_427]

Looking to extend the streak against the Empire. Hopefully my crew of X-Wing fighter pilots can destroy the Death Star.

[miko]

Good luck Gold Leader!

[Hitman23]

Ugh. How disappointing. To see how much I suck all the different ways.

[Hitman23]

Well, this one counts. Playing the division leader. If I am to make up any ground it needs to start this week. Score is close enough after one day, starts are even.

I knew I should have passed on Choo for a more reliable player. I keep thinking "this is the year he'll play and be awesome" but not a chance in hell that much luck falls my way. Ergh.

[Big_E]

Once again I am looking at a SP disadvantage for the week.

SIGH

[DontHateOnNumber2]

Red 5 standing by.

Tampa Bay Rays' Evan Longoria likely to miss 6 to 8 weeks

Once again I am looking at a SP disadvantage for the week.

D.Below back to the bullpen, so much for those two starts :-(

D.Below back to the bullpen, so much for those two starts :-(

I was hoping I could find some source that said he was moving to the bullpen prior to rosters locking (the only way I'll get a win it seems is if I can penalize you ) but alas, the rainout last night is what sent him to the bullpen (lack of a need of a 5th starter). Damn.

I got a much needed second start out of Porcello for this week because of that rain out.

I like the guy, but it always seems be something. I like your OF'ers if you can get any production out of him. Cleveland is just terrible though.

E, I am pretty sure even with two starts from Duane Below, you still would've had a very good chance to win the match; After all there is a reason they had the kid in the bullpen for the whole season; I've had more negative starts this season then all of last season lol so despite the fact Below hadn't given up any ER's, I am positive he would imploded, just like Kendrick, Ross, Jurrjens, Liriano, Sanchez...just to name a few....

but a -0.5 from Longoria for the week.

[Yankees Empire]

Rodents experiencing an infestation of Jhoulys Chacin.

[Saxmania]

Yuck. Smart to bench Harrison, but then Bard gets knocked around too. Not my week.

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

[DontHateOnNumber2]

My SPs have been getting hurt, and those that are healthy aren't getting wins. Yadi, Dee Gordon and Cespedes are my points every week...if any of them falter, I'll be the laughingstock of the Ruth Division. -_-

[Coney36]

I really shouldn't be this bad. If only I can make my 50-50 choices better... pitchers I sit keep pitching 50 point CGs and pitchers I start keep #(%@)%^...

[Yankees Empire]

Remember when I had a 70+ point lead in my match?

Yeah, me neither.

I hear ya....typical Blue Jay mentality.....keep Morrow in with a 5-0 lead for the CG SO....Seriously!!!!

[miko]

Between Beckett losing his start and Morrow fluking out on his I am now behind the 8 ball!
