12-19 in 1-run games now, losing two more last night that I coulda easily had won both. I have been so snake-bit in the last two NLD's.

NP,

I like your pics better than mine! ;) Megan is certainly name appropriately!

Jeep, I see you lost patience with your team and made some moves. My initial take is that your rating dropped about 100 points. I agree that your team had been underperforming. Tough losing all those one runners. Big M has been even more unlucky with a -10.

I'm sure I lost "rating points" but I'm in it to win it, not finish second. Moves had to be made.

[joethejet]

So Jeepie, enlighted us, how do you think the moves will help you?

Well...If last night was any indication not much 'splaning needs to be done. :wink:

Basically I needed another big bat and Mussina was sucking. I had excellent defense so it didn't hurt losing some "D" imo.

So I basically replaced Maholm with Mussina, who was sucking big time and Maholm has done well for me in 2 other leagues so I felt I improved my starting pitching and put more thump in my L/U adding a couple of guys there. Sometimes all it takes are a couple of minor tweaks and I wasn't going to the p/o's with my current squad, so why not try and improve.

Hate to bring this back up, but last night all of the above came together pretty nicely. :wink:

In all honesty I will probably play around .500 ball now as I did before, but I certainly don't think I'll be worse.

Yeah, I didn't mean that to sound as if it was a horrible move (if it sounded that way :?: ) I just think it's interesting to hear people's logic for moves.

Yeah, you took it to us last night. It didn't help that both Crisp and Anderson were out. :( Or that Oswalt continues to suck and that you have AJ Burnett somehow with a 2.69 ERA :shock: Or that my best RP got crushed in game 3. I guess that's how you get swept! ;) :D

That's only our second sweep of the season so I guess I can't complain too much given the circumstances. <shrug>

Hopefully we'll do better v Stoney tonight. Anderson will be back.

Wow! We swept the best team in the league tonight! :shock: Pounded out 27 runs. He got his share of hits, but we just out scored him mostly. I guess maybe our bullpen is better as none of the SPs went deep for either team. Haren went the longest at 6 1/3.

While I like being called the best team in the league I'm not sure that's the case, just the best record right now.

I out hit you last night but got out-homered 7-0. :oops:

[Jeepdriver]

My moves are paying off (so far) as Maholm has gone 2-0 and Miles is hitting over .300 with production. The one negaive, however, is Vlad hitting at a buck-70, but hopefully that changes.

Napoli had an 8-RBI game last night. :)
