A.L. ONLY BOMBS LEAGUE,JASON,CAL,TERRY,MARK LOAD

waiting for that same list of 9 for pitching, and slugging pct allowed...

Meat, I have come to realize that this game is a joke so i must as well go crazy to end the season. SGT D

actually Al proved in NL only that you can build a killer offense and just pick off a bunch of random pitching and dominate, although he DID have one ace.

messaged terry to get us into round 11. don't forget that clock goes to two hours tomorrow as we hit the double digit rounds. if you can't be around, or set proxies...please let us know here or other contact, and we won't skip.

I don't want to give away too many trade secrets, but let me assure you the Cowboys' pitching "success" had nothing to do with throwing out random pitchers. (I did end up 8th in the league in ERA, so it wasn't that great of success, but good enough to secure the best regular-season record given a potent lineup of sluggers.)

- None of my pitchers had more than 2 ballpark homers on their card (adding righties and lefties together) except Gorzelanny, my mopup man. He had three. A necessity for pitching success at Great American.
- Jaime Garcia's 15 starts were all against 5 of my 11 opponents. Nothing random about that.
- Here is the percentage of right-handed hitters each of my right-handed starters faced:
Westbrook (2R): 61%
Harang (2R): 60%
Medlen (E): 52%
Hudson (1L): 50%
Zambrano (1L): 49%
Again, nothing random about that, either.

With Sarge's lineup, if he can finish 8th in pitching, I imagine he'll do quite well. I think it will be a challenge for him to get there with the pitchers that are left in the pool.

Let's see how my last team faired:

Hitting:

4th-Runs Scored
2nd-Hits
1st-BA
1st-OBP
2nd-Fewest SO
5th-Walks

Pitching:

1st-Fewest Blown Saves
1st-SO
2nd-Fewest BB Allowed

Fielding:

2nd-Fewest Errors
2nd- Fielding %

All of this got me a 69 Win Team tee-shirt SGT D

I sent Mark a message last night so I am hoping he see's it this morning. SGT D

Meat is up. SGT D

bad wake up call...mcgee and de aza were the first pitcher and hitter on my proxy list. let's hope casey fien isn't Larry Fine. as for the random pitchers...you made the most of it Al, but I'd be scared to death to throw zambrano and harang out there in a game I hoped to win. I went with (supposed, and price wise) stud pitching again, and it's slim pickins in the offense now. in the end, zambrano came back to earth, but I made up some ground, medlen neautrilized harvey.
