R. Rueben Memorial Fantasy Baseball League

[Richard]

I just shuffled up my roster.

how the fuck you gonna drop Mike Aviles? I thought he was gonna rule us all

It's someone else's turn to Rule You All.

speaking of ruling you all- who is this Plouffe dude? I see you grabbed him- I grabbed him my HTH league too and he's just hit another HR today he's been Hamilton-level for like 2 or 3 weeks now WHO IS THIS GUY

I don't know. Despite being crazy hot for weeks he's still only hitting like .230 for the season.

I owned him for a few weeks last year in a very deep league where almost anyone with playing time has some value. He had a little hot streak, like 3-4 HRs in 10 games, then got cold again and I dropped him.

I don't expect this to last, but I'm riding him now in my money league.

[Ty Webb]

Plouffe does this kind of thing each season. Believe me, as a Twins fan, I can tell you that he is truly a .230 hitter. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[STF]

I have Matt Cain on one of my three teams and I watched the last two innings online. Exciting. It may not be the best perfect game ever thrown, but it it's the best fantasy baseball start ever.

[Ty Webb]

I think it at least ties the best perfect game ever. 14 Ks? Ridiculous.

And Blanco's catch was stupendous.

Do the points get calculated every day?

Because it would be pretty funny that I had the most productive fantasy baseball start ever and still dropped .5.

[Ty Webb]

Every day. So funny-peculiar or funny-ha-ha?

Yes. Which is why a lot of people don't like rotisserie baseball.

wait a sec you're the guy with Drew Stubbs

[STF]

Plouffe did it again. He hits a HR every day now. That's his thing.

[Richard]

I need Tulo back big time.

The Denver Post reports Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki had successful groin surgery Thursday. There were no issues or surprises during the arthroscopic procedure. Tulowitzki could be back in six weeks, but general manager Dan O'Dowd indicated Wednesday it could be longer. "That's a blessing knowing what it is, but the downside of that is more than likely he's lost for eight weeks. That's what we are planning on and will adjust off that," O'Dowd told The Denver Post.

Tell me about it. In my other league, I could have Miggy hit two HR with 3 ribbies, Dickey throw a one-hitter, Kimbel save two or three, and drop three or four points in a week.

I have really weird stats that make me think fantasy sucks. My pitching staff is top-notch. With Kimbrel and Putz, and only two reliever spots, I should be doing pretty good in saves. Not even close. Got Dickey, F Hernandez, Hudson, Cahill, Lewis, Neise. I'm sixth out of 12 players in wins minus loses. I have 6. The first place guy has 21. My ERA is in the bottom three. Drafted Bourn and Gardner to steal. Not even in the top half. (Gardener broke his dick like a week into the season, but wtf). Of course, my bench is ruling, but it doesn't count. Drafted Cabrerra #1 and I just moved up to ninth in HRs. Dead last in RBIs since week #1.

Deep league. I think 30-man (non-active) roster who gives a shit.

JOSE QUINTANA IS RULING YOU ALL

(How, I have no idea.)

JOSE QUINTANA IS RULING YOU ALL

(How, I have no idea.)

Why you have New Zealand flag and live in Frank Lloyd Wrights' old house?

Surely you appreciate a foot in each hemisphere.

I don't live in FLW's old house -- his kitchen is too small.

[Richard]

We 1st at the break.

Come at me, Tuxedo Cats

[STF]

It's harder to be in first and hold off other teams. Trust me. I got you right where I want you.

[Alayne]

Well damn, I guess it's time to start paying attention to this again... (I'm never doing three different leagues at once again..)
