I would say "quickly and quietly rising to the 3rd spot".

that 300 pts gap is a lot. it's funny because I believe my roster is good enough to win any fantasy league in the world but since there are few people in our league the teams are indeed unreal. both mine and yours and JL's, especially with all those top notch closers.

Every time I catch JL I get happy and then one week later I'm 100-200 points behind again.

blib i felt the same...now i hope the pitching gets back on track

I was going to say this has been a strange week or so. I went from having a 200+ point lead to 2nd place, and back up to an almost 200 point lead.

Sorry I've been MIA lately guys. I've been doing a great amount of travelling lately for work (Seattle is a great city, btw) and as I'm wont to do while I'm on the road, I work an extraordinary amount of hours, leaving me too exhausted to do anything else.

BL noticed it on our league's homepage - the little notations by GB's transactions means that yes, I have taken over his team. It's unfortunate and I didn't want to do it, but I have conferred with GB and he's decided that he just can't keep up with the league any longer. (Too bad because he had the makings of a great team). In any case, here's my ground rules for managing his team:

- I will only make free agent transactions if one of his players goes on the DL or if slumping horribly (at my discretion).

- Feel free to offer trades to his team. I will accept/reject as if I was the owner. I will not do any trades between his team and my own.

If you guys have any suggestions for me as it relates to GB's team, just let me know.

Happy All-Star break, everyone!

Red = Leader in the category
Blue = Second in the category

It's a bit misleading to indicate "leading" in a negative category. In any event, this proves I suck.

But you don't want to have the most CS, GIDP, or whatever. So the least would be leading right?

Sorry, my bad!! You did it right. Not sure why I thought otherwise.

So I only half-suck I guess.

I didn't realize BL's bullpen was as good as mine.

Whoo hoo, I lead the league in holds.

OH.

I lead the league in holds.

What are you holding?

Sometimes a stick in my hand. Other times, a pineapple. At even other times, nothing at all.

I would like to be holding a few aces up my sleeve but alas no.....

bj ryan has been signed by the cubs...i wonder who has him?

I had him briefly earlier in the year. ...I think.

lol well since i checked my pitching staff i do have him...bad thing is though that he is going to be in the minors for the time being...not bad for the team...just bad for the fantasy team.

JG is knocking on your door BAM. Trash talk while you're still ahead .

85 pts in pitching... too bad my hitters were mediocre-to-sucky

(I was gonna say something about backdoors and holes and squeezing through, but thought the better of it )

I never expected this kind of restraint from you JG!

July 19, 2009



The back-and-forth between JG and me is dizzying.

For the record I had 104 pts last night -- that means I should get a good -4 today!

i cant lose to geoff...i hope all your players get ill...then suck lol

You have GOT to be fockin' kidding me!!!

let me guess -4? lol

Just checked and you are at -1.

hey blib what about me?

Well, you're still exceeding expectations tonight.

It looks like you finished with 33 points. And with JG's stellar 9 point day, DB is now knocking on your rear door with 53 points.
