5/12 Venting, Cheering, Huff's Ding Dongs, and gas.

Where's the poll option for secretly locking every exit so no one can escape and all must suffer the deadly consequences of last night's Indian take-out?

starting Lowe @ Was today

yesterday was a big day for the defending champion Hot Stove Red Sox 24/54 (that's .444) 16 R, 6 HR, 19 RBI, 3 SB to jump up 16.5 points. That's why we stay the course after a rough April.

i was wondering if you were going to say something. nice friggin day

Yeah, what's up with these huge days lately? COL had a similar day two days ago. I'm patiently waiting my turn.

I have no SPs starting today or tomorrow, although I am tempted to pick up Dillon Gee for tomorrow. Probably a bad idea.

Also how the hell did Wolf give up 5 runs to SDP, have they scored that many the rest of the season? Good for a -11.

maybe he wasn't that bad... maybe we're just witnessing the beginning of the power surge from the offensively proficient Fathers...

Wow. A leaguemate of mine just dropped Masterson. I know he is due for an ERA correction, but I am betting on his skills having improved this year. BB rate down, K rate up, HR rate down. I have #1 waiver and the best pitching in the league, but I am seriously thinking about putting in a claim for him... hmmmm.... I should probably just stay away.

[raiders_umpire]

he strikes me as a 275/5/25 guy. 100 runs every few years. what am i missing?

Josh Shepardson: The expected heir apparent to Carl Crawford in Tampa, Desmond Jennings has continued to showcase why he is considered an upper echelon prospect and a person of interest in fantasy circles.

Probably 275/5/40 type of guy with superb defense. Crawford lite with less homers but possibly a little better OBP due to him being able to take a walk.

Harper is on an absolute tear right now, it just hasnt stopped, but over his last 15 games

Bryce Harper had a career day for Single-A Hagerstown on Wednesday, going 4-for-5 with a grand slam.
He also extended his hitting streak to 15 games, during which he's hitting .492. With a cumulative .396/.472/.712 batting line, Harper is matching or exceeding all expectations so far. May 12, 1:55 AM

Shields just won't quit.


7 IP 7 K 1.14 WHIP and a potential win. I am definitely going to try and sell high now though, I just don't believe a lifetime above average guy is now an unstoppable ace.

[BitterDodgerFan]

ugh forgot to insert shields in the lineup in one league...

[cs3]

anyone else notice that most of Dan Hudsons problems come when he's ahead in count on the batter?
Granted ive only seen him pitch 3 times this yr, but i keep seeing the same pattern.
he gets way ahead in the count, 0-2 or 1-2 then lays in a BP fastball right down the middle or a hanging slider with a HitMe sign taped to it.

Happend again today. Ross doubled, then Nate Shietholtz quickly goes to 0-2. Next pitch is a fastball belt-high, right down broadway that Schitholtz smashes into right center... Is he always bad at putting hitters away?

[cs3]

also Parra is having a LOL awesome inning...
First he hits a blast to right center off the wall and Schierholtz makes a spectacular play to inexplicably throw him out at 2B.
Then in the bottom half of the inning a routine fly ball is hit to center, Parra camps out under it... and just drops it. Goes for a 3 bag error and completey screws up Hudson's rythym
