2011 Talk About My Team Thread (formerly known as random ramblings)

Tuesday 7/25/2011 : Neal Cotts's control seems to have taken a bump...

I didn't even know I had Cotts on my team.

Must have been on the DL from the previous owner and never activated?

[Halladay_is_God]

its a double methinks

[HollywoodLeo]

Sure is

My Cotts is better

[Halladay_is_God]

Sure is

My Cotts is better

Kudos to Oakland for being a great hot streak. Its more about them winning a crapload of games than my team sucking it up. I still have the 2nd best record in the AL. Exeecding expectations so far. But I do need to make a move before the deadline to shore up the offense just a tad that or they need to get out of the funk they are in.

Edit: Tui is out for 5 to 6 weeks. So once again I will blow a god damn 8 game lead. I hate OOTP.

Gained a half game on Nick, which isn't as much as I hoped, but I'm still a game up on the wild card. The rankings on my numbers are down, but the team is still doing well, and the number that counts the most, runs scored, I went up to 1st in. I am very happy with the trades I made, however Pena lost talent this sim, so I probably should have traded him instead of the younger Dan Johnson. O well, Pena's now the same as Johnson talent wise, so it's not that bad. He's still having a great year. I love how I took on Jose Guillen as a salary dump from Halladay, and he proceeds to hit .353 in his last 5 games with me gotta resign him quick before his numbers have a chance to go up.

this is going to be an exciting fight to the finish between me, nick, brown and crazy. Good luck to all!!!

[Providence A's]

what about Florida and New York? That race is closer than both the Central and West races.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

they're tight, but they're not as close as us. Milwaukee, San Fran, Colorado, St. Louis and LA are all seperated by 4 games. But yes, those guys are in the mix as well. The entire NL is very close. There are 7 teams that could all potentially make 4 spots.

[Providence A's]

they're tighter...1 game difference between them. 1.5 in the Central and 5 in the West. My division is half a game right now and the AL East is 4.5 games. The AL Central has the largest difference. There is still plenty of time, but they're all pretty close right now.

I need more Matt Walkers.

[Halladay_is_God]

Wilkerson and McLouth are better than Jose Guillen, ask Zito how poorly Guillen does in COL

Guillen only good when hitting HRs

Hopefully I can stay close with one of my big bats out for 3 more weeks in Tui. Heck, the lead is only a half a game. Im praying the Yanks and Jays bash each other's brains in to assure the M's a playoff spot.

[Halladay_is_God]

the Jays have been slipping back lately

[perforatededge54]

My team is stuck at like 10-11 games over .500.
