HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 News for Next Year - This league will no longer be "TSM" affiliated. That means that the league won't necessarily be posted on TSM. If you need information then you can IM or E-Mail me. I will post information concerning next season (in terms of keepers, roster size, etc.) later this year. - I also want to lower the team limit as 18 is really pushing it. Ideally, I want the total number of teams to be between 12 and 14. I figure that a few teams will drop out for next season anyway so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 Actually, I kind of like the larger league. Makes it a little more exciting to be in contention or something. I'm not saying you should replace every team that drops, but I think that a 16 team league or something would work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Im wlling to trade Felipe Lopez or Bobby Crosby now that Crosby is due back either next week or the week after. Either one is available.. Paul Konerko, Roy Oswalt and Jose Mesa are available as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2005 Christ, I didn't even get Konerko into my Monday lineup and there was already an offer for him. And thank god I finally have a shortstop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 I just got my ass handed to me again. I think having my two best hitters (Guillen and Beltran) injured the whole week hurt, especially since it wasn't in time to take them out of the lineup. I'm thinking about taking one of them out for Freel this week, but I know that if I do, they'll come back strong with 8 RBIs. My fantasy team's just torturing me this year.

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2005 My team still stinks. Everyone bar Alfonso Soriano, Mark Teixeira, AJ Burnett and Javier Vazquez is up for trade, and maybe even those two pitchers as well if the right offer comes along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2005 Figures, as soon as i give up on my team i end up leading 9-0. If this is what happens i should condemn my team and threaten to trade everyone more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2005 That last trade was a really good trade for me. Nick Johnson has been absolutely on fire, Burrell has provided my team with some extra pop and Bonderman has pitched ok. Really big improvement in my offense I think. However my pitching has gone downhill, but thats partly my fault taking risks on guys like Ryan Glynn and having to use Daniel Cabrerra because Mike Hampton is out.

From closer back to middle relief? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Urbina is the Phillies' set-up man, and he will grab a few saves here and there when Wagner has the day off (as he did last night).

Cartman 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 If anything Bronson goes to the bullpen and Halama gets released(or Embree) when Schilling comes back. There needs to be a minimum of 2 trades by Boston to bolster the bullpen and either 2B or 1B help. If that doesn't happen there isn't much chance of making the playoffs unless Baltimore falls from grace. I won't bother complaining since they just won a championship and thats all I could ask for. Not to mention I wouldn't want them trading away any of their top prospects right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 The Red Sox could try building at first base by calling up Roberto Petagine, who is tearing up AAA right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cartman 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2005 I agree, he's most definitely an upgrade over Millar and his cheerleading. There is no apparent answer for the bullpen/rotation though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 First place, bitches! I've yet to lose a match-up this season (tied twice early in the season) and outscored my opponents 41-10 over the last six weeks.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 I think its kinda funny that this week Ive only gotten 2 HR and 10 RBI after last weeks 15/51. But my pitching has been much better this week so its at least keeping me in contention to at least get a decent result out of this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Yeah, that happened to me a few weeks ago, too. I think I had 16 HRs, but went into the next weekend with only 2 or so before hitting a couple more on Saturday and Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 I haven't lost a match up all year and have dominated my opponents the last six weeks while moving into first place.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 By tomorrow I'll have 4 wins, over 40 ks, and around a 1.20 whip, but my ERA is going to be close to 5 and no saves. Im desperate for a closer...but for now Im going to go back to Chris Hammond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 Your choices on the FA is slim so if you are willing to punt ERA and WHIP for Saves then go get Kolb, Graves, Urbina, Walker. If I can get the perfect 10-0 sweep than I will be at .500 for the season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 If I can get the perfect 10-0 sweep than I will be at .500 for the season! With my team doing it's best to redefine shittiness i'd say you have a chance. With Morgan Ensberg giving me plenty of production at 3B i'll put Scott Rolen up for a possible trade, hopefully he can net me something to help my rapidly sinking team. Take Corey Patterson off my hands while you're at it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Much like my Orioles, I'm getting by on good offense but my pitching is still pretty weak, because LIVAN~! Hopefully I can creep back up in the second half.
