« on: August 10, 2004, 12:35 AM »The A's will win the West and the Angels will win the Wild Card.
The way I see it any of the three - A's, Angels, or Rangers can take the AL West, and the remaining 2 combined with the Red Sox all have a one in three chance of winning the AL wild card. It's tight.
Over in the NL, what the HELL happened to the Astros? I know you Red Sox fans may disagree, but just looking at winning percentage W and L's, the Astros are the most perplexingly underachieving team in '04. I don't get it. Beltran, Kent, Berkman, Bagwell, Pettitte, Clemens, Oswalt. Man.

Don't feel bad. I actually did the same thing for Jason Schmidt last night. It seems that they moved up his start 1 game. Our mistakes cancel out.

« on: August 1, 2004, 10:32 PM »I've been pleasantly quiet of late in this thread, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone here was aware that my Dodgers are officially KICKING ALL YOUR ASSES right now.
So they are. So they are. One thing certain about the Dodgers from the last dozen years, they'll find a way to screw up.
****Breaking News****
GM DePodesta sucks lifeforce from Dodgers.
LoDuca? Dave Roberts? These two (along with Gagne and to a lesser extent, Green) were the backbone of the Dodgers. What was DePodesta thinking?
Not that I'm complaining.
Brad Penny and his 3.15 ERA and 1.25 WHIP isn't such a bad thing. This is a guy who beat the Yankees twice in the World Series last year, winning a championship. He is the 15th to 20th best pitcher in baseball, somewhere in there. While Lo Duca may be a fan favorite in LA, he was a tad overrated on the left coast. He averages just 125 games per year over his career. At the same time, while LoDuca was just a little better than average offensively most of his career, Steve Finley's bat that was also added with Penny more than makes up for Lo Duca leaving. And remember, pitching wins. I think the Dodgers are a much better team adding Brad Penny and Steve Finley. And those changes are magnified in a weak division.

« on: July 30, 2004, 11:28 PM »A flurry of deals today, the biggest being the Dodgers/Marlins deal. Very suprised that the Dodgers dealt LoDuca, who I consider to be the heart of their squad. They must really be confident that they can land Randy Johnson. Supposed Unit is going to sleep on the deal to LA.
I don't think there's a team on the planet that wouldn't deal Lo Duca for Brad Penny anyhow; regardless of whether it turns into a 1/2 year of the Unit or not.

BTW, A-Rod suspended for 4 games for that brawl with the Sox.
Varitek should have gotten 5-7 for punching A Rod in the face to start the whole thing, then maybe 1-2 for A Rod for being involved. What was A Rod supposed to do, let Varitek punch him in the face and walk calmly back to the dugout?

Whatever, we have the Death Star and Vader's use of the force. He'd choke Scotty from a mile away before he ordered the death star gunners to blow up his weak little ship.

This football league is going to be fun for me because I have never followed football in my life. Though I've had success winning both baseball and basketball fantasy leagues multiple times, I have never even participated in an NFL fantasy league, never watched a full NFL game to completion, and probably couldn't even name 12 NFL teams off the top of my head.
I just checked the top 200 NFL fantasy picks, I have heard of 19 of those players.
So before we draft, I just have one question guys...
Is Emmitt Smith still the best active player?

I know next to nothing about hockey and football.
You can always count me in for baseball and basketball fantasy leagues.
But if I can find the time to learn some of these football players in a quick crash course, I'll toss my hat into the ring.
