dont forget

the BJ league has a draft post time of 8 p.m. EDT.

And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Milton as our #5?

Marty seems to think Milton is the #5 starter....fewer starts for him? I have no problem with that

Fay said today

according to JD's previous post that Belisle and Saarloos are fighting for the 5th spot.

I'm actually sitting in a bar listening to the game with headphones. I have a huuuuuuuge deadline at 5pm today (yeah, it's 7:30) and I have to finish my work and go into the office really early tomorrow to sneak papers into an inbox. But I didn't want to sit in the office anymore. So I'm in a bar. I have two hours until my battery runs out.

We were all in the Denorfia thread talking about Coutlangus.

Don't mind me...just thinking positive and pitching to contact, that's all...

The Twins

Are going to be carrying three catchers and 11 pitchers on their opening day roster.

Of any team

Of course it would be the Twins.

Put Hamilton in CF

Good lord.

I'm listening to the Twins announcers

They're gushing over Conine. They said it was Conine's quick thinking that let Hamilton get that out.

Conine nailed in the elbow

Possibly as payback for the guy Arroyo hit.

Long day at the office for Bubba

He played a full game this afternoon for the Bats. (2 for 4 with a double) Now he's in LF for the Reds.

I wish I had a copy of the article in SI....

that stated that fantasy baseball is a symtom of what is wrong with baseball. The mega million dollar contracts, the egos, the over-importance of stats;

taking away a beautiful team game and replacing it with statistics which when taken out of context of a particular game are completely meaningless.

Pissed off too many people on the team.

Fay, Daugherty and Marty have all been a little too opinionated with their railing on Junior, Dunn etc. Hence they no longer get 'insider information' and sometimes fed wrong information.

Well, when Bubba won a big game with a walkoff homer, the headline in the NY Times was "Crosby Show Wins Emmy for Drama."

LOL

i'm glad i'm sitting behind a concrete pole in the bar i'm at so no one can see me. i have about a half hour left of battery, so i'm gonna have to head out soon, but this game is so pathetic that i don't really care if i miss the rest.
