Both my H2H semifinal matches a little too close form comfort for my taste heading into their second week. I'm up in both but ever so slightly...

[Tavish]

I'm sooo looking forward to Will Smith and Danny Duffy having a shot at the Royals rotation next season. Both are downright filthy.

That's nothing in one of mine I have 3 guys on the DL and I'm playing without a SS nor a bench bat because I don't have any moves left.

edit* I'm just lucky to have made the playoffs in 7th place out of 18 without being able to make a move since the middle of June.

Wacha Wacha tonight anyone?

[Ray Zorback]

I looked at my 4 roto pro teams a couple of weeks ago and saw that they were all dominating in the offensive cats and middle of the pack or worse in pitching. So I went to work on trading some hitting for pitching for the final push.

I was able to bring in Wainright, Felix and Kuroda (twice).

My pitching cats are now worse.

[The Thrill]

9/3: I benched Homer Bailey last time he pitched against STL (a week or so back). He pitched great. Learning nothing from that experience I benched him again tonight. He pitches great. Doh!!!

It's looking more and more like the NL playoff teams are decided with only Wash & Dbacks having an outside shot but they won't make it playing .500 ball.

Atlanta is walking away
Dodgers are rolling
Pirates / St.Louis / Reds might all tie in the Central
