Well, I think we might have a full league tomorrow for roto. I got Sanjuro and Doytch and one of my friends said he'd be in. I think Doytch is down for H2H as well, even though he didn't say explicitly. Didn't bring up the auction idea to him, though.

No to auction! More like death panels, amirite?

I did make it, although I got slowed down by the fact that my grandfather nicked this guy's car when he slipped and fell getting into my car. What a jerk. He knew it was my fantasy draft.

I like my squad, although I would like another power hitter. I am surprised Juice let me draft Wright. He is a true friend.

I will probably pawn off one of my SPs at one point.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #73 on:** March 14, 2010, 10:29:41 PM »

I need to pawn off one or TWO of mine. I think it's due to my friends auto-drafting and not having enough SPs. Trade with one of them like I will.

Himu · « **Reply #74 on:** March 14, 2010, 10:32:19 PM »

Probably can't make it next week as I'm going to the spring training game.

He probably sent somebody a text of his gun again. YOU DEAD, DAWG.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #95 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:36:01 PM »

Apparently Jim Bowden tweeted this:

... but immediately deleted it afterwards.

Stan Kasten and Rizzo both denied that Dukes' release was related to any incident and that none occurred, but then Rizzo goes around and says this: "The clubhouse will be more united," Rizzo said. "We'll have a better feel around the ballclub. We'll gain just by that alone."

... and Dukes' likely replacement, Justin Maxwell, said this:

"I never had any problems with Elijah. But in terms of the team standpoint, I guess there were other things being said and done and some of it was a distraction to us. I think we'll be better for it, and I just wish him luck in the future."

I mean, how does that not sound like you're dumping a guy because a locker room incident? I can't believe they couldn't find any takers for Dukes, considering he'll probably find a spot on the bench of the Yankees or Cardinals in short order. Couldn't the Nats have gotten some shitty prospect or something?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #96 on:** March 18, 2010, 03:10:58 AM »

Say what you will about them, the Stankees are pretty good about not hiring crazy people. Homosexual-rod doesn't count- he's obviously just a closeted homosexual, not actually crazy. I mean, when Kyle Farnsworth is barely tolerated I doubt Elijah Dukes is gonna make it on their team.

And I actually kinda buy that there wasn't one specific incident but that everyone is happy he's gone. It's obvious that he's a kind of crazy thug.

edit- Jesus Federwang, it's time to get rid of the stupid Yanquis filters you set up after they won the WS.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #97 on:** March 18, 2010, 03:21:54 AM »

So what do you think the odds are that at 57 years old, you decide to do an illegal drug (cocaine) for the first time ever in your whole entire life, and it just so happens that you go popped for a random drug test right after that, like Ron Washington claims?

Doesn't look like anything is going to happen to him, though. The Rangers appear to be keeping him on with just a warning not to let it happen again.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #98 on:** March 18, 2010, 10:30:41 AM »

Some reporter asked how a person that does cocaine - recreationally or otherwise - could seriously be allowed to manage Josh Hamilton, a recovering crack addict. Hopefully Washington's habit is done with, but that would be totally depressing if it spread in the locker room.

... as for Dukes, I still don't buy that this wasn't tied to any one incident. He was penciled in as their starting right fielder and we're just two weeks away from Opening Day. The team never gave any indication it was unhappy or thinking about cutting him, and I think I just read some fluff piece about Dukes pulling his life together about a week ago.

At any rate, the rotation is still terrible and save for Nyjer Morgan, it's a pretty bad outfield. It's tough to be a fan, but at least I like the way Rizzo handles the clubhouse versus Bowden. Now I just hope they lock up Dunn before the season starts, or else we are going to have to look for a replacement first baseman next season.

I just hope Zimmerman isn't wasted before the team puts together a good roster.

And Mauer just signed an 8/184 contract. Wow.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #116 on:** March 21, 2010, 07:58:13 PM »

Worth it, barring some career-threatening injuries. He will probably make that entire number up in ticket revenue alone after his first two years. It's nice to see the Twins lock him down. The last thing I wanted was to see him in pinstripes.

Now, the Nats need to lock up Dunn, which I hear is close. Once we unload Guzman so Desmond can play every day, and if Flores bounces back, that means all we need in the infield is a second baseman. Two corner infielders to replace Dukes' empty spot and the one that will be left by Willingham once he's traded at the deadline. I see the Nats taking a position player in the draft as a result.

... Getting another pitcher will be silly. Zimmerman and Strasburg will be the 1-2 punch come Opening Day 2011, with Lannan and Marquis behind them. They should just sign a good starter in free agency. Storen is the closer of the future, Olsen and Bergmann can settle in the bullpen.

That said, this year, they might be worse than LAST year.

Himu · « **Reply #117 on:** March 21, 2010, 08:48:09 PM »

Went to the Astros/Mets game today.

Game got cancelled, top of the 2nd, due to rain.

Astros were winning 1-0. Bottom of the first inning ended with Astros leading, runners on first and third and they probably would have had another run if not for that fly ball.

So yeah, Astros won. Sorry, Cajole!

Anyways, I was shocked Astros were doing decent at bat, especially without Tejada. I don't feel too good about this season, but whatever.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #118 on:** March 21, 2010, 11:27:56 PM »

I'm heartbroken.

Anyway, some gaffer -- the only one who expressed interest in an auction league -- created his own league on ESPN.com for whatever reason. He sent me an invite and told him I'd join, but you have to make an ESPN.com account and the sign up form looks so annoying; I don't feel like filling that shit out. If Triumph and pollo are definitely in as well then fine, but otherwise I don't know if I want to bother.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #119 on:** March 22, 2010, 12:33:10 AM »

Tejada is pretty crappy now, I think replacing his bat is the least of the Astros' worries. That said, they've always seemed like a team that held together with super glue and Lance Berkman for like the past ten years, so I don't know how they manage to stay relevant but God bless 'em.
