Bad night to start H2H in fantasy against "Mr. Milwaukee Brewers".

yep.
ramirez, and Braun destroyed a minor league team.
Lick your wounds , and hope you play " mr bosox" next week

He had Braun, Ramirez, Weeks, Gomez and Hart.

15/27, 11 runs, 5 HR, 11 RBI and 1 SB between the five of them last night. Fucking hell.

Oakland A's. Best record in MLB since June 3.

and they wont make the playoffs

And I'll be attending two of the three games in Seattle next weekend. Never imagined when I booked the trip weeks ago that I'd be potentially seeing a playoff team.

Giants are -180 faves to sweep Houston tomorrow and then off to a series at the Cubs. After that is all head-to-head against the NL West. Dodgers still have four games against the Cardinals and three at DC. I'm thinking the Dodgers don't even make the playoffs being 3.5 behind the Giants at this point. Boy, after all the money splashed arouund that would be a BURN!

Think I went to school, or maybe it was preschool, with that guy. My mother mentioned something of the likes to me at some point. I don't remember though.

AFter they swept the Yankees 4 straight in mid July and kept staying hot into August. I thought they are peaking early. There's no way they can keep this up. Here it is September now, and I'm sttill thinking there's no way they can keep this up. I think they've got an eight game winning streak going right now.

...and a really tough September schedule.

They play Texas seven times. Plus they Yankees, Angels, Detroit, Baltimore and Seattle.

I'm headed to the Wednesday game against Angels before they go up to see Mr. Red.

Man, they're whooping up on Boston. Hope they cool down before they get to Seattle. I think Felix will pitch the Friday game (the one I'm missing), so that should help.

King Buzzo on Sunday. King Felix on Friday.

How about them O's? 2 games out from the Yanks in September...apparently Showalter is a competent coach after all.

In other words the Astros aren't even entertaining in a trainwreck way, like the Red Sox, but just simply bad.

That Astros stat is mindblowing. I'm going to Wrigley next week and I'm thinking that I might end up seeing two parks whose franchises had their worst historical seasons on record. Remember that I was in Houston on Opening Day. This Cubs season has to rank among their historical worst ever, right? I know the Houston team is going to end up as their worst ever.

My Opening Day game in Houston was also against the Rockies, who are within a hair of losing 100 games. Could I possibly witness three 100 loss teams in a season?

How about the Phillies? They currently have a 7 game winning streak and are only 3 games behind the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot. The Phillies have an easy 4 game schedule coming up this weekend against the Astros and the Dodgers face the Cardinals for a weekend series. A month, two months ago the Phillies had no shot of making the playoffs and now they have an excellent chance. I know a lot of teams down the stretch don't want to face them.

I haven't even noticed the phillies

Quit arguing with MJS and pay attention.

Sale vs Verlander tonight. For those that don't have the baseball package hopefully the MLB Network shows that game instead of the Yankees vs the Red Sox.

And the Phils blew 3 of 4 to Houston. Gutted me because I had Halladay and Kendrick starting two of those losses. Man, you gotta figure you're winning against Houston!

Still this had to be the most thrilling day in fantasy baseball history for me ever. Four of ten stats were wide open in my "PRO" league and I end up squeaking out a 5-4 win after trailing all week. Won the RBI stat by one freaking RBI. If I'd tied that stat, I would have lost due to regular season H2H records. My team really isn't all that great (Austin Jackson was my offensive star this week, who is apparently hurt now), but I'm still in the hunt for the $500.

I'm thinking it was the reverse karma for the week I had last week in the league I share with Adam.

The "real" playoff hunt is pretty killer right now too. Big game in Chicago tomorrow, making up for the rainout against Detroit.

I think squeaking by in close matches was the theme for this past week in fantasy.

If my opponent (in Red's league) got more hit he would have taken the matchup. It literally came down to the last batter because if Ian Desmond could have gotten a hit instead of a pop up than my opponent would have taken BA and instead of it being 6-6 (which I took because I had the better regular seasos record) it would have been 7-5. Fortunately for me, that isn't how it worked out and now I get to play for my first Fantasy Baseball title. This is my first year of doing this where I have had any luck with it.

The Mullett-Amos matchup in the sr.com league was also quite close. Throughout the week those two were neck and neck, and the lead must have changed over atleast 4 or 5 times. Good win in the end for Amos, tough luck loss for Mullett.

As for 'real' basbeall, Baltimore or Oakland....who is the more surprising story?

And really hope Detroit doesn't blow things and finds a way to make it to the playoffs. I am rooting for them to be the AL representative in the World Series.

That was a tough way to go out....dominate the regular season like you did and then get booted in the first round. Just goes to show how luck and timing can be as much a factor as picking the best players. You just lined up against LS on the wrong week.

manny machado has been playing 3rd for a little over a month and he is already one of the best defensive third baseman in the game. this is just an amazing play on his part. hes just 20

Listening to Scott Van Pelt show right now and they have Buster Olney on talking about the AL MVP race and how Cabrera has the chance to win the triple crown and yet probably won't be the MVP.

Any other year I would think that would be impossible.

No posts after a no hitter and a huge day in the AL? Boo on you all.
