Hell yeah, the Death Dealers are kicking ass and taking names, bitches.

The Muffdivers are coming after you. We took one on the chin from Jarhead's group, but we've made some changes in the lineup and I think we'll do a little better this week.

Wha? I thought you were 'cleaning house' in the draft! What happened?

Side note: This week there is a battle between the bottom two teams: 2 Balls 1 Bat vs. MaximumKaos. Who will suck the worst? Stay tuned to find out.

I too had to make some lineup changes. Prince I forgot how to hit the long ball Fielder, is bringing me down. And if anybody is curious, no I won't trade him, surely he'll get on track sometime before the damn All Star break.

2 Balls 1 Bat vs MaximumKaos = Pillow Fight of the week.

The same group that batted almost .400 the first week, slumped to under .200 the second week.
Also, Roy Oswald is a big fucking pansy boy.
And yes, I WILL consider trade offers for little Nancy Oswalt.

Big matchup for Jarhead and myself this week. I've had two solid weeks against two good teams so far. Need to keep it going.

My schedule is very top-heavy according to the current standings. If I can stay afloat through the first 1/4 of the season...hopefully I'll make a move towards towards the middle.

Is there a DL spot?

My pillow is loaded with iron anvils. I will suck the second worst. Maximum Kaos is lucky as I tried to start the Big Hurt tonight but I'm no good with teh yahoos.

Yes. If you are in drag and drop mode...pick up the guy who is on the DL and start to drag him...an open DL spot will open at the bottom of your lineup. You can then add another player to your team.

Note: This only works if the player is actually on the DL.

I freely admit that I have no idea what I'm doing. I've looked at the thing once and then didn't really know what I was looking at. Whatever happens with that team will just happen on its own. As I predicted prior to putting it out there, the team will be fodder for other's cannons.

I'm laughing as you currently have the lead in our matchup. I need to go to Fantasy Baseball Bootcamp. Although I'm still sure that the phrase "it's still early in the season" applies here.

Kicking my ass so far. I'm fucked with my starting pitching this week. Three of them make starts on the same day. And that's their only start this week.

Yeah that was a product of the fact that lots of teams had Monday off...and 3 of my guys had the best day of their season so far. I expect it to become more of a game later in the week. Definitely a nice way to start for me...

Ok, I admit I had no idea how addicting this game could be. I find that I've added roster changes to my normal morning work routine. Am I the only one who is addicted to this shit?

I am right there with you, but BFC doesn't like the Yahoo's, so I have to make my roster changes at night. It has become a part of my evening ritual, especially on Sunday night though.

Yep...welcome to fantasy sports hell...once you become addicted...there is no stopping it!!! I check my team like 10 times a day. I purchased the stat tracker and get fucking pissed when Kenji Johjima (which I could not fucking care less about him or the Mariners) strikes out with less than 2 outs and a man on third...I hate when these fuckers cost me an RBI!!!

What are your thoughts about buying the stat tracker? Is it worth the $15? I've thought about getting it.

War Eagle!!! · « **Reply #137 on:** April 16, 2008, 11:12:52 AM »

Hell yes it is...I love it. And I think it was only $10. I couldn't go without it. But then again, you are talking to a dude that also has a subscription to MLB.TV so I can watch all the Cubs games on my computer!

Ditto. I didnt' think I'd like it and even though I'm second to last, it's still interesting to see how each day pans out and I'm addicted to toying with the lineup. Especially on days after Chipper Jones hits two home runs and has a batting average for the week of .583, with Derek Jeter right behind him with a .471 batting average and 7 RBI's.
