I'm pissed I ran out of pickups last week when Longo and Panda went on my DL, I wanted to pick up Middlebrooks to replace them asap and have missed 3 homeruns and a steal.

All my holds guys are turning into closers and it's kind of starting to irritate me. I know 99 percent of owners right now would love to have my problem, but my closers aren't the ones getting injured!
I have Morse, Santos, Sandoval and Werth now injured on my team. If the fantasy baseball gods would please have mercy on the rest of my time, I would be forever grateful.
Lynn pulled after 5 up 7-0. One out into the 6th its 7-5, go ahead run at home plate

Well, he did have 91 pitches through those 5 IP, and his usually impeccable control was not there. My guess is they figured, up 7-0, it made sense to limit Lynn's workload and let the bullpen finish it up. Obviously it appears to have backfired, but I can at least see the reasoning behind the move.
