well it was either the Mets or the Cubbies. I believe I managed a killer lineup with the cheaper Mets.
the Red Sox are always a good pick because they have the best rotation in the MLB but you can't get a better matchup than this week's Mets. plus I love picking a NL team over an AL one.
what I'm really looking forward this week is seeing if it pays off not paying the big bucks at 2B for Chase Utley. I thought it made sense giving up on him this week because I already missed the best week of his life, probably (averaged almost 10 fan pts per game last week) - if he keeps playing like that he's worth every penny. Utley, like Ryan Howard, seems to hit his homeruns in clusters. He's had a few big power weeks this season. I went with the Red Sox staff this week even though Matsuzaka is on the DL. I think the biggest factor I considered was 6 of 7 games at home. I'm starting to buy into this home field winning percentage thing in baseball this year, and the Red Sox seem to do exceptionally well at Fenway. Moreover, TB is a different team on the road. I looked hard at the Mets, who are on the west coast this week where east coast teams often struggle. They are still a bit of an enigma. It should be an interesting week.

I played my game until I reached the top, then used a lousy strategy of "well, I can keep close if I choose the same PS" -- I'm still not convinced it's necessarily a poor strategy, it's just I think my luck has run out.

You're still within easy striking distance of the top 10. Did anyone go with Jay Bruce this week? I was thinking about it, but thought he 's got to cool down. he homered last night.

Pretty funny how normally I'd be thrilled to reach #23 Overall in any game -- but dropping to #23 pisses me off!

97 (unofficial) pts after 4 days... fucking pathetic.  Mutts: -21, 4, 20, 6 -- the latter, only 1 ER! But 12 hits and 7 fucking walks??!!

which means I may probably flop next week. Can't be any worse than my big flop this week...

COCKhead still managed to stay #3 with the same shitass Mutts PS and Ortiz hurt... while I sink to #44? The only one in the Top 50 who hasn't amassed even 100 points thru Thursday!

It's odd that my original luck disappeared right when you acquired it -- can I have it back now?
