6 starts. Zero wins. 37.66 ip for a total of 26.34 points.

I already have more blown saves in 6 days than I did in all of May.

Everyone make your hay NOW while I'm in this rut, because I am coming back with a motherfxxxing vengeance.

I am currently lurking 1300 points behind in the adjusted leaders and have around 900 team value

Do I have a chance to finish in the Top 10 overall or should I just go all out for a monthly prize? I figure every 4 weeks I will win a weekly T-shirt.

Keep up the posts!

Might be time to look at changing the plan.
Still think Aug / Sept will be a good month to go after.
Especially if I were to go to a full out use no SPs right now and just wait.

Not sure.

Nice move by imdbcooper.
Wonder what the odds are that we can have a Gurupie win every month.

      Fri, Jun 08, 2007, 13:37 		Inflation is taking its toll. I used to have 300 lying around while holding Peavy, Santana and 1 other (maybe Arod/Haren) but that is down to 150 with a full roster. Might have to actually start making money again.

I'm with you Bandos. About 3 weeks ago I started paying attention to money for a while and got up to ~1050. But after putting my lineup together today, I have Santana on the bench and 10 bucks left! Yipes!

      Fri, Jun 08, 2007, 16:20 		I'm up to $825 or so, but its still leaving me a little short. I have Haren & Santana on my bench and that doesn't leave me enough for all the position players I would like. For example, I have Varitek instead of VMart and Howard instead of Pujols. More importantly, I was forced to go with a bunch of cheap RP options (Gregg, Dempster, Jenks, etc.) and avoid the studs.

I think the big thing that hurts me is carrying Santana and Haren on my bench. But since I think both have a decent chance of being sold out, its a price I have to pay, but can't quite afford.

First time all year I've been positive for my innings pitched. I don't mind building up a slight cushion, so that I don't have to worry about SP's when I'm on vacation later in the year.

Species, I hear ya man. I have had similar June woes with pitchers. Right now I feel like I'm just throwing sh!t at a wall and hoping something sticks. I'm seriously thinking abt taking another SP hiatus if tomorrow doesnt yield the results I'm looking for.

      Fri, Jun 08, 2007, 20:01 		Tonight's last choice is b/n 2/3 of Pujols, Fielder, and Howard.

Pujols has been a mainstay in my lineup for about 2 weeks now, so I guess it really comes down to Fielder/Howard for the utility spot.

Both seem to have great matchups.

Fielder is more widely owned but Mr. big has Howard. Both pretty darned good arguements in themselves ;).

Well, now that I talked myself out of locking Howard, Fielder it is...

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 00:45 		In other news, I made $11.49 on Haren (sorry StlCards) and set him free (kind of like an undersized fish). I won't be around at his freeze, otherwise I'd probably use him. Still, there will be other opportunities with other SP. No sense taking a big $$ hit when another SP could do just as well without the $$ loss.

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 00:52 		While we're at it, let's extend thanks to Hiram Bocachica for getting thrown out stealing 3rd. Another potential 20 RHP lost though this was admittedly hopefulness on my part. I REALLY wanted SD to pull it out to get my other points back with a Hoffman win.

I had 2 -7's form hitters tonight. Overall, still not a bad night, but -7? Twice?

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 00:55 		Special thanks to Utley and his 4 strikeout night.

KRod was nice enough to waste an IP, as well.

I missed the memo that Saito was back; at least Broxton got me 4.35 points for 1/3rd of an inning. (EDIT: And Saito just blew the save-- yippee!)

My 2 high points were picking Beckett and Miguel Cabrera for the night, but many negatives from the hitters (and no Soriano-- though I picked him up for the $$ gains).

I am up $37.00 on Sheff since purchase and $17 on Haren. If I have to miss Haren at freeze tomorrow, that could hurt. I am closing in on $1400 ($1377 at present), but still only have $340 in the bank. I am coming up on a stretch of missing 5-6 days in a row multiple times, so I need to build up what I can so when I get a chance to retool the lineup, I have the cash. 6 closers, here I come!

The fact that there is a $90 cap on prices is really bad. AROD should be way into the $100's by now, but his max is still the same, even though all roster values are going up. (Yes, there is overall inflation, but not as much as there could be on the top-priced players).

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 01:39 		I agree that the $90 cap is too low. It helps me out since I don't have the highest RV, but I would like to see them raise (or even get rid of) the cap next year. With making money fairly easy if you want to dedicate yourself to that goal for a few days, $90 as the max just seems a little too low.

Of course, I think ARod is the only guy to reach $90 so far, so it wouldn't have really made much difference!

      ID: 152261223
      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 03:30 		I wonder, though, if the $90 cap has limited buys in higher-priced players. For example, if you are trying to raise cash, why pick up someone who can only go up $5 more, when you could have someone else go up $30+. So the "actual" cap has created an artificial cap of resistance.

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 07:35 		Anybody else's scores screwy? On my roster it says 127, but its not showing Wagner's save, so I think I should have around 142. But on the Global Top 100, it shows 106 for me. I think that might be what I got on Thursday, but I can see scores for some of you that I know are much lower than your Thursday scores, so its not like it didn't update anything on the Top 100 yet.

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 19:09 		Ok, last night, all 3 of my 'last' choices went yeard - Pujols, Fielder and Howard. I didn't go w/ Howard, the high point scorer.

Tonight, my last spot came down to Griffey, Brandon Phillips (yes, in my utility), or Tori Hunter. I really wanted exposure to the Minnesota lineup, but there's no way Morneau would crack Fielder or Pujols. VMart for Mauer was also too risky for me so I went with Hunter. Maybe I shouldn't have just plugged in Cuddyer w/out asking questions first, ah well.

Lets see how the 3 of these guys turn out tonight.

      Sat, Jun 09, 2007, 21:45 		Hog has Santana w/ 3 ER, while CBS has him w/ only 2 (I think it should be 2...). Anyway, worth keeping an eye on that it gets corrected (of course if the Twins can't at least tie it up in the 9th, it doesn't matter too much, but still worth watching.

I basically won't pick a pitcher who faces Washington anymore. Therefore I skipped Santana today. I used Haren. Looked hard at Shield adn Guthrie but didn't want to use the innings.

Bastard. I needed it also, b/c everytime mr. big says he had an 'ok' day he puts 200 pts up. Additionally, my hitter/closer selections have been horrible in June.

A nasty game developing between the Cubs and Atl. Lily hit Renteria with a pitch and got tossed already. Renteria then steals second and basically gives the 2B a forearm to the nose. And there only in the 1st.

Re: 68 - the umpires are a complete joke when it comes to ejecting pitchers. the upmire didn't originally toss Lilly when it happened. once the benches cleared, THEN he threw him out. it's like when a pitcher hits a batter and the umpire does nothing (no warning even) - but 2 seconds later the batter charges the mound, they fight, benches clear etc., and the umpire tosses the batter AND the pitcher, when all the pitcher was doing was protecting himself. I've seen it so many times. so basically a pitcher gets thrown out because the batter decides to charge the mound, when he wouldn't have even gotten a warning otherwise. makes NO SENSE.

      Mon, Jun 11, 2007, 00:23 		At present, I am up ~$100 since opening yesterday-- closing in $1450. Included in that is the $10 I made on Haren since buying him back yesterday-- SP's that gain big money can always find room on my bench.

Had Gregg, Valverde, and Hoffman neutralized by some Wickman help. Still, 4 IP for about 0 points. Sabathia was good, but woulda loved a bonus 20 for the win.

I see one option I like for tomorrow (SP), but will go w/ 5 closers and possibly a middle-reliever, if I can find one who has SP eligibility that I like.

I have a full hitting roster for tomorrow, but may drop a few before game time. Still thinking that out.

      Mon, Jun 11, 2007, 00:34 		Wow, what an atrocious Saturday and Sunday. Definitely learned some lessons the hard way. Mainly, I knew I would be around for many freezes, so I went with hitters today that are playing Monday so I wouldn't lose $$. A bunch of the guys ended up having big days today (Sheffield, etc.). Plus my SP were horrible (skipped Haren, took Santana, Young, and Bedard). Plus got hit with Cordero yesterday and Dempster today.

My hitting saturday was solid, but everything else was putrid. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm down over 150 if Bandos updates his rankings with so many wasted innings.
