Interesting week this one, some great matchups. No blowouts at all, lot of 6-6, 7-5, 6-4 scorelines so far. Still all to play for in my matchup with Hotballs, over and back all week. Still seven or eight categories up for grabs.

If ever I needed a week of tight matchups its this week. Hammy is still tearing it up, he has only gone and hit another 3 homers since my last post. He has as many HRs this week as my team

Hopefully my pitching holds up and I can get out with a tie...

I picked up SP Derek Lowe for today, he pitched nine scoreless innings, fantastic for my ERA, got the win and all. All with the grand total of zero Ks. No strikeouts at all in nine innings. Never seen that before.

Thats proabably because there hasn't been one in 10 years....

Lowe is a sinkerball pitcher so will have alot of groundouts if a batter makes contact.

smackbunnybaby · 16-05-2012, 11:18

The stats said somthing like, of the 130 odd pitches he threw, around 115 were sinkers.

that's crazy, everyone knew what was coming.

This year injuries are killing me. Had been hanging on to Carpenter on the DL slot but with Longo going our for so long, I had to jettison him. Had Chris Young out for a month riding the bench. He's just back and now Bonafaccio has hurt his thumb and he's DLed.

And that's to say nothing of Matt Kemp and his dodgy hamstring. 1 DL spot and 3 BN spots makes this league tough.

I've been pretty lucky in avoiding injuries this season until last Monday when both David Ortiz and Joey Bats injured themselves. Bats was straight on the DL and Ortiz has just landed there. I knew Bats swinging like a lunatic in the home run deby would have is consequences

I guess its better these guys go down now rather than in playoffs...

It's getting pretty interesting in the playoff race, third, fourth, fifth and sixth are separated by literally one game. I'm in first but am slumping big time, and have just lost Votto. A competitive last eight weeks ahead.

Yea, I seen you had Votto. These 3 injured players are not replaceable without trading so I see the pack reeling us...

It is getting interesting in terms of the final playoff spots. My team is finally getting back healthy.

smackbunnybaby · 22-07-2012, 22:37

My team is crashing and burning, just not producing.
Also reading mixed reports on Tulo and if he will even make it back this season.
Some say August, others say he is done..

I'm starting to suffer from lack of power. A lot of my batting lineup are very average, no standout hitters at all. Anyone need saves?

Either, not both, for HR or RBI
