2012 Random Rumblings that feature a lot of Grumblings

[nick]

I posted the deal about 40 some minutes before the deadline.. I don't know man, sorry..

Sorry guys... I wasn't on either lastnight, and I completely missed it like an idiot. Assuming you still want the deal, I can get it in through my MAGICAL SEXY POWERS. aka waivers

I assume you'll both want the deal to go down though? I posted it on the board, I understand people are just busy this time of year so I don't really mind about the voting process... if you guys DON'T want to do the deal at this point let me know though...

I think Zimmerman has a great shot at MVP, but I'd rather have something else. He's won batter of the month twice, 3rd in SLG, 3rd in OPS, 8th in hits, 2nd in homers, 3rd in RBIs, 5th in runs, 7th in EBH, 3rd in total bases.

Hirsh should get the Cy if he continues doing well. He's on pace for 26 wins...he probably won't get that, but 23, 24 should be attainable.

The NL Cy Young race is insane this year...

Tim Lincecum - 12-5, 2.13 ERA, 216 Ks, 165 IPs
Johan Santana - 15-0, 2.13 ERA, 175 Ks, 174 IP
C.C. Sabathia - 17-2, 2.61 ERA, 199 Ks, 182 IP
Ollie Perez - 13-4, 1.97 ERA, 142 Ks, 155 IP


At this point I'd give the edge to Johan because he has everything, but it's so damn close really. Could go to anyone...

if only the giants DIDNT COMPLETELY SUCK

[Kingdom]

I thought they partially sucked?

I want the powers of Ed to grace my lineup, make it happen Commander in Chief

Conceding that after losing A-Rod, my season is effectively over, its time to give Dykstra and Beecher a chance to play...

[Kingdom]

As soon as you gimme Zito, you'll win the division. Gar-run-teed

Updating this after the recent sim...

Lincecum - 12-6, 2.39, 239 Ks in 184.1 IPs...
Rich Harden - 14-5, 2.71, 219 Ks in 221.1 IPs..

Ollie Perez completely fell out of the race with this:
14-6, 2.54 ERA, 158 Ks in 173.1 IP

dude...WTF is wrong with OOTP. Casilla is DTD, not out!!! The game refuses to pitch him as he hasn't pitched since 7/15. I would have put him on the DL had I known it was going to do that...I've never had that happen before, DTD guys play damn it.

[Porter]

Leave it up to me.

McClung sucks right after acquiring him

But hey i had a 9-5 sim.

[Foster]

Go Sox Go.

I field seven hitters with 10 power and one with 8 power. And I only have 2 over 20.

[OrioleMagic]

NYM has really turned south since the deadline.

I think it is the bullpen. Broxton is really the only one that is performing up to his ratings.
