23/07, Cheering Venting & I Love You Edwin Encarnacion

Postby AussieDodger » Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:43 am

Hi everyone. I'd like to start this with a love letter.

Dear Edwin Encarnacion,

I've known you for a long time, since 2006 in fact. I've owned you through your highs (26 HR season) and lows (loss of playing time, injuries, suckitude). You've always been my value 3B play. Welp, you've finally rewarded me in 2012 by hitting out of your mind.
And you're BONDSIAN in July: .346/.507/.673, 16/6 BB/K 8-o
I'd just like to hijack this thread to show my appreciation.

Your pal,

Aussie

I sat there poised with my finger on the trigger, but just couldn't pull it, one of us is going to regret it. :-b

In my league we have a 10-start limit and it's rarely not worth it to get all 10 in, as it's points. I've got some pretty unfavorable matchups later this week (@LAA, @COL, BOS, STL...), so with Kelly riding on like 5 consecutive QS, and a -135 favorite, I said what the heck. I may even end up spotting Luis Mendoza @SEA Thursday.

Dear home run gods,

Is it too much to ask for a 13 home run/30 RBI night sometime this week for me to get CLOSE to the lower third of the category? Thank you.

I'm running Kelly out there with the 2 starts in my weekly H2H. Also I live in St. Louis so both games are on my TV. Here's hoping for something decent.
