I have been lucky since replacing 6 pitchers, 2/3rds of my outfield and DH, I actually think my team is better now than it was before, I may even be able to take that coveted #8 position.

I am looking a bit for a leadoff guy, if anyone has any trade suggestions I am willing to listen...

Don't you mean the lucky number 9 position since 9 teams out each four leagues make it to the next round? :wink:

Damn, Tea Swingers, you are become a possible contender in the Central. Its possible that all four central teams make it into the next round!

[JIMDAKE]

Friggin' swept me! (What is a Dormont Tea Swinger anyway?)
Shut out by 6-0 Dick Ruthven? Oh the shame.

I think it's a new code word for 'roids. Somebody from the league office needs to get Dusty Baker to pee into a cup!!

[TheGoodDoc]

Well, Bobby O didn't do the trick.. Gonna try my luck on Blue.. have always had luck with him.


in other news, the Dirty D is gettin' NO LOVE in the awards voting, despite being second in the league in runs scored, and 5th in pitching.... Not an all-star in the bunch.. its just makin my players more hungry.. they've got somethin to prove
:D

It looks like the Ankle Biters (MRMS 1970) and the Bay State Yankee Clippers (IM Bacchus) are the "Class Acts" of Bracket #2. My Stratzillas are playing the role of "the pesky second place team that just won't go away".

The name Dormont Tea Swingers is directly related to my upbringing. I grew up in Dormont, PA a kind of white trashy suburb of pittsburgh. when we would go anywhere they would sell this tea in milk cartons made by Fikes dairy. we would buy literally a half gallon a day a person while we were out. To transport this beverage you would hang the carton off of one of your fingers as you walked along. (nobody had a car, we would occasionally ride a bike but constantly lived in fear of it getting swiped) we called this phenomenon "swinging" your tea. dont know why exactly - but it fit so we used it. Needless to say once I went to College my friends found this humorous beyond beleif - since then every roto team has had the moniker.

As far as competing, I have now set my sights on the playoffs. after a 4-11 start I have gone 41-31 GO DUSTY GO...

[TheGoodDoc]

I know that this wont continue forever(and i've probably cursed him now), but 10HR in 47 at bats.. All i can say is DAMN.. 70% of his hits have been HRs...I'm sure playing in Anaheim helps a bit.

I'm getting pumped up for tonight's matchup against Central Division rivals, the Tea Swingers.


What a wild division the Central is!

[rutkap]

wow, I took a beating, and to think that I was back in the race.... At least bo didn't crush me...
