Fantasy Baseball in Season Thread

Figured I'd start one. My team should be renamed the Hanley Ramirez team, not a great day at the plate for my boys. Going against ace pitchers though it's hard to expect much. Hoping Motte can knock a save down here, he's my Free Agent pickup I'm expecting a lot out of. Juniper Doodads is off to a nice start, Dunn being the good Dunn today and Lowe's masterpiece last night. BWC and UTVols2 looks to be the matchup of the week to me. I forget who owns Cliff Lee but they have to be worried, he wasn't good in the Spring and he got shelled out in Texas today.

Playing this is only going to cost me money, I'm going to buy this online tv thing. I can't sit here much longer and see ball one, then 5 minutes later, strike out looking on gamecast.

The part of my team I'm worried the most about is already giving me fits, Motte blows the save in STL.

I haven't moved off the couch since I got home. I got the MLB Extra Innings package and am watching it all, every game, every inning. My wife is probably gonna kill me.

I am watching every player I got plus trying to watch BWC's as well, and we are just on day 2.

Soriano takes one deep on first at bat, that is what I am talking about. Now I just got to hope that BWC's Aces blow it tonight.

And now Ramirez leads off the inning with a dinger..... Gotta love my Cubbies on the team. 2 at bats, 2 dingers.....

Oh, and the Yankee's are losing, the only way this opening day could get better is if the Mets would have went down. 2/3 ain't bad.

I suck at this..... everytime I put someone on the bench, they go off. Today I had both Francouer and Escobar on the bench and as of right now they are 3/4 3 runs and 3 RBI's. Needless to say I am not very good at this.

How bout them Braves!!!!! 7-2 in the 3rd.

You'll still beat BWC, he's got the most overrated team in the league.

What a horrible job by the pen today.

So much for Blue Wahoo Chambor's so called "Greatest Pitching Rotation in the history of Fantasy Baseball"

His pitchers are getting racked this first week.

Nearing the end of week 1 I need a lot of things to happen tonight if I wanna win this week. My week with BWC was a good one, every single category was tight. I need Soriano and Ramirez tonight for the Cubbies to come up huge, if not on to week 2.

Looks like I'm going to comeback and beat Shooter. Here are the current scores going into Sunday Night Baseball, maybe you can help us with this next week UTVOLS2 since you have the stat tracker.

Wise Wolfpack: 5
Each Hit: 5

Double D's Team: 7
Hat Creek Braves: 2

Plaxico's Thight: 6
Esserville Muddogz: 4

Basement Buccos: 5
Maple Grove Yankees: 4

PVFAN Hearts King College: 6
Juniper Doodads: 3

Overall, very competitive first week. Looks like this league is going to be very competitive, everybody has a pretty solid team, Shooter was up on me 8-3 this morning, I just got lucky and had Johan Santana and Aaron Harang pitching, and they both pitched gems. There has been a ton of movement this week in terms of free agent pickups so I'm not even going to begin to list the transactions, only two players are yet to make a move, Maple Grove Yankees and Plaxico's Thigh.

No problem, I will try to give an update every night just let me know how in detail you want me to go with it, I don't mind at all.

Just whatever you want to give I guess if something is close. I'm in trouble next week, Santana will just pitch once, and he's by far the ace of my staff, although Harang has posted back to back good starts. Looks like I might be firing up that free agent list next week like a lot of you all did this week.

I had two big comebacks yesterday in this and another yahoo league I am in. I was down 9-1 in it and as long as JJ Hardy muted anything Derreck Lee done tonight we were going to end up 5-5. Juniper was up on me 8-2 I believe going into yesterday.

First place after week one, go ahead and pay me now.

You win era and whip this week UTVOLS2, Randy Johnson goes out and blows up. In case you guys haven't seen it I changed the pitching requirements to a minimum of ten innings a week. This is in order to keep people from pitching one inning and getting two easy wins a week, if anybody has a problem with this just respond or e-mail me.

That is a good idea, glad you thought of it. Don't worry one of my pitchers will blow it this week to match Mr. Johnson.

Dude, my team freakin blew it Sunday. up 8-3 and i lose 7-2-2...unbelievable. Pitching kills me.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains. Luckily for me it rained today in Detroit. UTVOLS2 had three players scheduled to start in that game, with the numerous off days already built into the month of April a rainout can be a killer to fantasy baseball team during that week. Big game tonight between the Fish and Braves, I may tune of some of it in before the Reds come on. When it's all said and done the NL East might be the most competitive division in the NL, 4 pretty good teams and one doormat for everybody to beat up on.

As of 10:30 on Wednesday night, about half way thru Week 2 the scores are:

Esserville Muddogz 6
Double D's Team 3

Hat Creek Braves 6
Each Hit 5

Basement Buccos 6
Plaxicos Thigh 4

Maple Grove Yankees 6
Juniper Doo Dads 4

Wise Wolfpack 8
PVHearts King C 3

What a start to the season for me, first I take A-Rod knowing he's hurt thinking I can put him on the DL and be fine, then Trevor Hoffman doesn't make opening day (still hasn't played), Chris Carpetner goes down, and now Vlady is down? Geez, my team is going to be a joke for the next month, beat up on me now boys at some point my team will get healthy.

I can't believe the way my guys are hitting for average. I am at .390 something halfway thru the week and was well over .300 last week. Other than that, I am doing ok

What a frickin idiot, I forgot to set my lineup this morning. I knew Yunel Escobar wouldn't be playing but for some reason forgot to go in and change them this morning. If I lose a couple of points today because of the hitting, I am going to kick myself in the ass.

You've got it 6-4, I'm just glad I was able to battle back from 8-3 to not take as big of a hit.

It is absolutely sad that my pitchers only got 1 win this week. They were awesome but had no run support at all. Jair Jurrgens, Fransisco Liriano, and Lincecum all pitched great this week. I had a 1.99 era for the week and 1 win. Also my guys have to be hitting .350 so far this season, which sadly means my time is coming for a bad week. Oh well, I will take it where I can get it.

Ive come back to cut it close as well. My team seems to make weekend surges.

I'll take losing 5-4 this week. I'm playing two roster spots down for at least one more week, hopefully I can survive til then.

You gotta be kiddin me. I saw you had Kemp left to play today and I was like I got this 6-4, I would have never believed he would have hit 2 homers today.

Will you start updating at night UTVOLS2? The free trial of stat tracker is now over.

Oh, yeah, I got side tracked and forgot. I will try to do it about 10 or 11 each night.

what a day man, it sucks cause i know ill never have this great hitting day again.

and i got luckier than shit, i didnt sign up til the last day, so my league didnt start til week 3, meaning than i didnt have to suffer thru chein-mein wang's two horrendous starts, ive got him on my team.

im not gonna drop him yet, hes not a bad pitcher

what do you guys think?

I'd drop Wang, the Yanks are skipping him next time around. Nobody is going to pick him up, if he starts improving you can always pick him back up. He's on waviers in our league BWC dropped him the other day.

Some much for BWC's greatest rotation in the history of Fantasy Baseball.

I know one thing, I am flat out getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter by Shooter. Terrible beating going on there. With only 2 days to go, the best I could hope for is 4-7. Multiple categories are not even close. It is actually quite embarrassing. I figured after hitting .375 combined over the first two weeks I would have a bad week but geeezzz. I got 2 HR and 10 RBI all week. PITIFUL

Yeah, thanks...its about time i had some good stats go up. Last week i think my team combined to bat for like .143 or some crap like that. It was painful to watch.
