fantasy baseball advice

[DIRK]

pick up pirates closer salomon torres he has six saves this month already and they seem to be in almost every game.
I picked him up starting him in place of bob wickman caz the braves suck.

Also picked up roco baldelli, chris duffy, luis gonzalez, matt cain, jon lieber and dropped chris duncan, nick markakis, chipper jones, gil meche, david dejusus. Those 2 pitchers start twice next week.

I'm contemplating dropping schilling too his season seems done but if he gets a starts against carlos sivla next week could be a win.

haha, i dropped chipper also, took joe crede, also dopped Rollins, who was hurting me(cant afford to keep his slumping bat with 3 weeks left) and took freddy sanchez.

got home too late to put mussina in, that hurts, also missed getting in josh johnson - really tough to keep up with this shit every day, in fact, before me and my brother knew the rules, we thought we were getting credit for guys on the bench(lost about 50 Hr's with thome and dunn)

[Blackbeard]

my biggest fuck ups were dropping Abreu, my brother took him after he signed with Yanks, and hes been awesome, and trading away ****** damon for CC Sabathia...2 moves that have allowed him to get back on the race - we are tied again today

[DIRK]

i used to set my lineup for days in advance yahoo is tough.

[DIRK]

a.j. burnett, eric bedard, dan haren all pitch lights out check out these lines 23 innings 0.00 era 3 wins 23k's 11 hits allowed.

I do have starters in jered weaver, pettite, lilly, bush, meche, anibal sanchez and a hot closer in torres but down 60 pts in cbs league.

[DIRK]

thank you rocco baldelli, 3-4, 3B, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R i'm back in the race this week. Chase Utley finally did something too for once

[DIRK]

Elminated from the fantasy playoffs in my league

webb, burnett, bedard, haren throw great games & mussina comes back from injury to make 2 quality starts against me.
I get pettite hurt, bush throwing a garbage game along with utley, garza, grafinino, aurilia, gonzalez all have awful what are the chances. Still close to winning this round better luck next year I guess.

[Blackbeard]

tough break Dirk, thanks for all the advice, I picked up matt cain, and frank thomas, gary matthews Jr, mike piazza.

hope I can make a nice run these last games, I'm up by a measly 2 pts right now

[DIRK]

Picked up all the best pitchers and hitters before I was eliminated left my friend stuck with scrubs as free agents
now he's losing big in the finals.

Surprisingly the guy who traded dye, morneau, abreu for big pappi & edmonds is beating him.

gotta luv that

[Blackbeard]

Morneau has been one of my best players since I picked him up, but Ortiz is deadly with those 52 HR's and high OBP% and SLG%, RBI's, you name it, he is freakin great

once again me and my brother are tied, with 10 games to go, its gonna be real close, these are my 2 teams as of today:

nomar, soriano, konerko are slumping and cabrera hasn't played in a few days, might need to sit them

[DIRK]

u pass him yet?

[Blackbeard]

Got a 1 point lead, had 7 pitchers going 2nite!!

[DIRK]

i'm surprised fantasy leagues still going I figured last week would've been the end.

[Blackbeard]

Well, my brother took about a 5 point lead, however, yahoo has made several scoring errors, so I dont know the real score untill they are corrected. He took Beckett the other day, who got shelled for 8 runs, but this never appeared on his team log, a couple of other big mistakes in scoring as well, I'm not too happy

[Blackbeard]

we emailed yahoo and found out we had a limit on innings played per position, we are both new to fantasy and did not know alot of the rules, so we agreed to make the bet for less $, since we both made mistakes with the rules, I'm still trying to kick his ass though
