Lets keep inseason discussion about our league in this thread.


I need a SS.

You like Tulowitzki or Peralta?

I'd like to deal one at some point, although I'd like to wait until some games are played and see which of my weaknesses proves to be the most glaring.

Of course. Willing to discuss anything at this point. I know going into the season my weakness is SS.

So glad I dropped Gutierrez. That being said I think picking up Fields could pay off by May.

Hey Sparty, I cant log on to Yahoo at work but Im pretty sure Ill accept that trade tonight.

Basement here I come.

Not a bad first day, considering that I was picked to be last by a huge margin.

Lastings Milledge is going to be my best player. Calling it now.

Like I expected, my pitching was good (couldve used a win), my lineup had no oomph.

3 guys on the DL, and Martinez messed up, Looks like a typical year for me.

Yikes Ill be sure to scour your team to see if I can make any offers tonight

Jesus I never thought it was possible for my entire team to start the season in a slump. It seems like every night my entire lineup goes 0-4. Im still waiting for my 1st SB cuz nobody gets on base & Matt friggin Diaz hit my 1st HR. Im ready to quit already

Let's go Cue-To!

Its nice to see that culdeus is keeping it classy by calling not only me but my family dique's. Nice one.

WTF? I cant access Yahoo at work. Whats up with that?

wow

Next on Springer . . . . when message boards go bad

Gimme Pena dique

When does Lyon lose his job?

Days? Weeks? or Months from now?

WTF do I know? I doubt its days and it might not be ever but I want his handcuff and all your starters are hurt.

On his smack talk on his team page

"Porkchop You and your family are a ####"

Apparently because I picked up Lowe.

Dood, it's old FFA shtick. You've got a 1k member number I figured you'd knews what that was from.

Meant to be a joke aboot Lowe. I'll pull it from the site. Though there's a possibility I'm being fished here.

I was watching the game and at some point they mentioned Putz going to the DL and I was just about did a cleats up feet first slide to the laptop and you got him like 2 hours back.

Also why does it say my roster has one empty spot, but I can't add anybody?

Ive been a member of the FFA since its inception and I dont remember this schtick. Link?

Whyd you drop Velez? I didnt wanna waste a waiver spot on him but the SB potential is too great so I figured what the hell

Overreaction time: God my team sucks so bad, nobody can hit, my closers all suck, my starters cant get wins. Im gonna have to do something soon. Ugh Good thing this is an internet league and Im the commish

It came from one of the cheating friday threads where an alias or whatever was battling it out with someone in the thread that was lecturing him. Guy popped off about "in his family blah blah" and the OP retorted with "well you and your family are a ####" it was an insult around here for years afterwards.

Also #82 on http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=388826

Google searching the site comes up with 1143 uses of it. Again, no offense. Seriously.

Im sure you meant no harm. I was just busting chops.

You went to the draft board. Porkchop seems to be a lurker here so he probably missed it. I did too and Im a regular

Anyway back to me whining about my team: 1st pick Howard, 1 hit; 2nd Soriano 0 hits; 3rd Granderson DL; I know its a long season blah blah blah

There is no in baseball

Well the two guys I had no interest in but just HAD to pick because of "VBD" in Reyes and Putz have 0SB and DL. I'm getting more production from late round flyers than anything. This won't last.

Youll get used to it.

I finally got my 1st HR of the year courtesy of Mark Teabag

True

What I will not get used to is Philly loving Yankee fans drafting & openly rooting for the Phillies. Why is that? I don't see Mets fans supporting Red Sox players.

My only 2 HRs were Stephen Drew (who was on my bench thanks to trading for Peralta who's gone 0-9 since I traded for him.) and Matt Diaz

Who are you referring to? And BTW I know quite a few people who are Mets fans first, Sox fans second only cuz they hate the Yankees

Ok, I can accept that. I just dont follow the boards enough to know about all the schtick that goes on. No worries.

Just noticed that all the Yankee fans in every baseball league I'm in have a high amount of Phillie players on their teams - it's just weird.


If the Phillies were playing the Yankees in the WS there is no way in hell I'd be rooting for Philly.

Yeah, thats why I drafted Howard

So far today my batters are 2-19.

Kouzmanoff

It would have been interesting if he had won the job outright. He looks like a real professional hitter, but his defense is a liability and I don't think he will get steady work. The SB's would be nice, but at the cost of the 4 other offensive cats and irregular starts.

Most interesting stat on my team so far...

Stolen Bases
Lance Berkman 2
Rest of Team 0

Gonna need him to keep this up all year.

Well looks like Im gonna lose Sheffield now as well. Along with Granderson this really sucks for my OF. I need power. I got speed & SP. Make me an offer for power, looking for an OF preferably.

Now that I have the great Carlos Quentin...####udome is expendable...PM if you want him...

I won't say anything about your family Porkchop, but you're not winning any friends with those quick waiver skills. Beat me to the punch on Owings.

Awesome night. I should be in first in the morning.
