July 3, 20187 yr gotta love fantasy baseball. i turn on my computer and see 3-0 boston. so i'm thinking, wow, hope i'm playing scherzer. nope. then i think, well, hopefully betts or bogaerts did something...nope, three run double by porcello. cool.
July 3, 20187 yr well the best player in our league's history (right? hg is first or second record-wise) is currently in last in our division. This is definitely as competitive as I remember it ever being, and yeah, everyone in this division is still way alive for the playoffs.
July 6, 20187 yr i've got one closer (Hand), who's been pretty great, and who seems certain to be traded to a contender around the trade deadline. I either need to acquire another closer or move Hand and punt the category. I can do a 2-for-1 with my other relievers to make up for the lack of saves for anyone who wants to move a closer. And my other guys will become the closer if their team if the main guy gets hurt, so that's something to keep in mind. send me an offer if you need/want to move a closer.
July 10, 20187 yr Author looking for an ace. i have 3 of the top 6 relief pitchers on the player rater and 3 of the top 15 outfielders. willing to trade one of each for a top 10 starter.

July 15, 20187 yr god damn this all star break can't get here fast enough. i've lost 5 players to injury in the last 48 hours, and hg's team won't stop getting 14 hits every day. jesus.

I need offense. It’s remarkable, really. As of today, I’m dead last in EVERY offensive category. I don’t think I could do that again this far into the season if I tried.

July 25, 20187 yr jesus my scheduling has been brutal lately. last week BO gained 5 games on me when had he played me i would have swept all 6 offensive categories; i just happened to play an offensive monster. this week beer is going in with no lube. by 2pm today his team already had 9 HR, which itself is more than the combined total HR of any other matchup. He's even single-handedly got more RBI (19) than Champ vs Pants (16). i completely sacrifice pitching for hitting and this is my run down the stretch. brutal. Edited July 25, 20187 yr by Goo Punch

July 27, 20187 yr it took me almost 24 hours to realize betts' 3 run homer last night never actually happened.
July 28, 20187 yr I officially hate Rhys Hoskins. Eugenio Suarez can fuck off as well. Those two alone have 12 HR and 21 RBI his week. Only one other TEAM in this league has more than 12 HR this week, and only 6 teams have more RBI. Absolutely brutal. My team is is having it's worst week of the season anyway (jose ramirez is 0/14), but getting bludgeoned to death still hurts. Edited July 29, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
July 29, 20187 yr i think i play brian anderson every week. is that happening to everyone else, or just to me? he's not that great, but he's always there.
July 30, 20187 yr Holy shit, I won 4 offensive categories this week. What happened? I blacked out. In other news, I now have SIX players on the DL. Brutal.

July 31, 20187 yr I'm looking to add a good stating pitcher, on par with/slightly better than Clevenger whom i just added. I'm offering Hader or Osuna + either a SP or 2B (although both 2B are currently out- I have DJL and Cano returning soon) in return. Edited July 31, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
July 31, 20187 yr and just to reinforce Hader's value, check out the ridiculous numbers in IP, K, BB, etc.
August 4, 20187 yr how the fuck is a team with Abreu, Baez, Lindor, Harper, Cain, Ohtani, Corbin, Lester, Porcello, and Vazquez in last place...by a mile? you're beating my ass up and down the lineup. jesus.
August 4, 20187 yr two weeks ago hg set a league record with 57 rbi against me then pickle rick dropped 17 bombs and 42 rbi with 6 steals to boot the next week now bros is going for .353/1.148 through 5 days if the matchup edit: make that .361 and 1.151 trading all of my pitching to build "the best offense in the league" is not going according to plan. i've traded Kershaw, Greinke, Paxton, Stripling nd more just to make sure i win at offense and i've gone from 1st in the league with tie breakers over all but one team to getting my ass handed to me every week because whoever i'm playing is having the offensive week of his life. how many more weeks until the playoffs start? and what's the format again? Edited August 4, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
August 5, 20187 yr it's frustrating that i'm going to lose my first round bye (for the moment) simply because fawesome doesn't manage his lineup. Edited August 5, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
August 5, 20187 yr and just like last year i'm making this post the week before i play the guy who's ignoring his roster. perfect. just in time for him to go full strength against me.
August 12, 20187 yr On 8/8/2018 at 10:37 AM, NOMAAA said: 8 offers in 5 minutes. It’s about a month later and I still don’t want hader. He's the closer in Milwaukee now. 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K tonight. You should have taken him. He's still on the block if anyone wants to grab him, although I'm not entirely sure when the playoffs start, so time may be running out.
August 12, 20187 yr hey btw how did you guys come up with your team names? here's mine: I had just watched boogie nights.

August 12, 20187 yr i'm sorry but it seriously sucks that i'm about to lose my first round bye by like 0.5 games because fawesome stopped managing his team.
