Pitching wasn't exactly the name of the game yesterday. Plenty of offense throughout the majors last night; 15 games, 174 runs scored, 11.6 per game..... Meanwhile, most of us were betrayed by the Houston relievers and the 10 runs Milwaukee scored in the last 3 innings, 8 of them charged to the 'pen. Not to mention the outstanding performance (-20) turned in by the "Big Unit", mitigiated only somewhat by the +7 notched by the Yanks relievers, burning CC; and the St. Louis staff, led by John Suppan's -28, which screwed SC. Only the White Sox, with their +26 propelling TM into first place, and JL's Seattle, led by phenom Felix Hernandez, with their +6, managed to turn in a positive pitching score for any of us last night. (Unless you count LZ also....) Tuesday's Scores & Wednesday's Probables & Standings TM^ 746 CWS (26) 73 819 Bos Schilling 3-0 1.64

DB has discovered, I think, that winning at fantasy sports is more important than having the real-life team that you root for win, and "Homerism" has gone out the window.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I had a strong sense, while reading this, that it was directed at me. CS...man, what's gotten into you? You were the last of the non-vultures! :p I took Duke a while back and played "Duke of Earl" over and over nearly the entire game for him - that strategy was an obvious failure, so I got the idea tonight that maybe it works as a jinx against him, so I played it to help my boys out...and they held on for the win. Must've been my high-pitched singing mixed with the actual music that did it.

You and DJ, I fear, haven't come to that realization as yet. :p
