Don't give JL any extra motivation to pull out another championship here

I definitely give up now...

Jurrjens vs Washington = -7

Garland (on my bench) @ Col = +28

I have no explanation to why for the last 6 weeks, NONE of my starting pitchers can win a game. It's so unbelievable, I can't even get upset about it. There's nothing I can do. I'm not making up 300+ points this late in the game.

neither am I making up 247 pts. I guess this thing is over. congratulations BL you are a 2 time champion for sure

I like the reverse jinx action going on here.

That's impossible. The Anti-Jinx™ is patented

I was thinking the same thing. I don't feel comfortable with my lead at all.

Don't worry. It was another loss for my SP tonight. At this point, I may be better just benching all my starters.

That's why they went for the cheaper generic "reverse jinx".

lol Good one!

The reverse jinx is sold at Wal-Mart.

Just a reminder for everyone to start keeping an eye on their Games Started. Bench starters when you get to 162.

YOGI has 169 games started, so needs to have his SPs benched.

CRUISE CONTROL (186) has already benched his SPs, but inexplicably also his RPs, which he doesn't have to do (unless they're also starters).

Those coming close:

DB 157 (5 starts left)
BL 156 (6 statts left)
BM 154 (8 starts left)
TM 153 (9 starts left)

147 would be on exact pace as of now, with 15 starts to go.

To keep track of your GS's, click on "League" then "Full Standings" and look under the "GS" column. To get an idea what the even pace is, just look at your "Maximum Games" table on your team page.

Yeah, he doesn't get it. I told him four times to bench his starters (after explaining the rules several times throughout the season) and he wouldn't, then finally benched them all but two pitchers. I asked him why and he said "So I can still get points from them". /facepalm I explained the rule AGAIN so he benched his RP's too. I told him he didn't have to do that but, whatever...

I told him he probably won't be able to play in our league next year because he couldn't follow the one simple rule. Plus it makes me look bad. He's a teenager so common sense and following rules isn't a part of his brain yet.

so Blibble are you ready to cut the crap and admit it's over?

chill out, it's over, and you've won it one thing that I already knew and that came back to bite me in the ass is that september is a mess.

Stop your last ditch efforts to jinx the standings will ya? I'm not comfortable yet.

Sorry I didn't see this. This was posted during finals/vacation prep/busy work week and I just missed it. Looks like you took care of it.

Thanks for keeping track and keep up the good work. No reverse jinx here. Seriously, I hope you stay in first place and I don't make up the gap.

Can you bench Yogi's starters then?

oh come on! I'm not even worried about JL and he's closer to me than I am from you.

the most interesting thing about baseball in the last month is Jim Leyland's quote on Armando Galarraga's "slow pace, especially deliberate with men on base"

“It takes him two hours to watch '60 Minutes.'”

no races to watch except for the NL West but no one seems to care because somehow they play at 2 AM with the sun shining and there are much better things to do in California and in the desert than watching baseball.

We care here in the West. It's the rest of the country that doesn't care. But yeah, it's tense times for NL West fans.

Oh, and if I declare victory now, I know one of you guys will have the biggest comeback in fantasy history.

I'm not comfortable yet.

And which planet are they playing on?


Impossible, so stop it. CONGRATS, BLIB!!!!!!!

California

Oh, and just so Blib can cut the crap, I DECLARE VICTORY IN THE BBC WEEKLY GAME.

of course that's much easier to back it up. you just have to DNP and then you do fine. and by the way, that is the real skill game isn't it?

has anyone ever had a better month than Troy Tulowitzki's current september?

the guy just hit a walk-off double agains Blib's Giants in the bottom of the 10th. has 40 RBIs and counting. had a 15 game stretch when he hit 14 HRs. insane.

I don't know if the rest of baseball fans care, but there is a ton of controversy surrounding the Rockies here in San Francisco. There are rumors of them cheating with the humidor, giving opposing team pitchers lighter baseballs then their own pitchers which is significant in that high altitude in Colorado.

DB making a push for third in the last week?

He''s been making a move ever since he stole Halladay from BAM.

I have 4 starts to make up 80 points for 2nd place. Difficult, but not impossible.
