Clearly, he must be afraid of my dream team roster if he's going to those kinds of lengths to try to beat me this week.

 

Of course he's afraid of your dream team roster. What other reason could there be?

David Wright got injured and forced my hand so I decided to give ARod a trial run.

Thunder, when you get back, please pay your dues. Thanks.

 

I would prefer not to use PayPal. I've been meaning to tell you about this. It's complicated. I would like to pay myself (not getting parents involved), but don't have a PayPal. I can pay through credit card, send cash or check in the mail if that is what it takes.

[User Name]

Well, we all know that you have no shame.

 

Just kidding. I'm sure he's a good player to have on a fantasy team. I would pick him up for my team just to put the jinx on him.

 

I have no shame.

I'll contact you in a pm.

If anybody wants to see a close matchup, check out my box score. We're tied 5-5, and .001 in the OBP category is preventing me from getting the win. Altuve got out one too many times today.

Man my team's so frustrating so far, but I feel like they're just about to break through.

[a700hitter]

Not this week. They are playing The Boys of Summer managed by the smartest fantasy owner in history. He crunches stats in his head as he watches the games. Your lunch got eaten this week.

Be careful, because this kind of smack can come back to bite you in the ass. I always struggle out of the gate then come roaring back.

This was the time to get me. I also struggle out of the gate. You can look forward to being steamrolled the next time.

Doubtful. You can expect my team to be in first place by this time in July, like every year.

The competition will be fierce. A couple of more injuries like my team losing Wainwright and you might have a chance, but I' ll just have to find a way.

Dude, don't even talk to me about injuries. April hasn't even ended and I have four guys on the DL.

Yep, it goes with the territory.

The biggest blow has been Yan Gomes, because he's the super rare catcher that can actually hit but barely rests.

[Thunder]

Ted, I have the illustrious honor of taking you down this week. Of course, the hardest part is hoping Russell Martin and Josh Donaldson have a good series against us, while still rooting for the Sox to win.

Go for it.

[Thunder]

I may need to invest more in some starting pitchers, but there aren't a whole lot of options in that department right now. There's no way in hell that I drop A.J. Pollock.

[Ogden]

I'm in a league that plays a 162 HTH schedule (baseballmanager.com). I had Lucroy and Gomes as my catchers. Both went to the DL so I picked up d'Arnaud. Two days later, he got DLed. Now I have Hundley so I'm waiting for the guillotine to drop once more.

I will not draft any Sox players on my team for this very reason. OTOH, I load up with Yankees. LOL

[Thunder]

a700 and I are locked in a dogfight. It's all going to come down to ERA and WHIP. I have a slim lead right now, and Lester pitched a gem today. Harvey's on his way there, while Carrasco's struggling a bit tonight. Tomorrow, I have Gio going against the Mets, Ted has Volquez of the Royals. Should come down to Sunday. I have nobody going, he has Sonny Gray. I might also sneak up on you in stolen bases and quality starts.

 

Good luck, Ted! I didn't expect to be in a position to win this one.

I guess that means you picked up Nova, Capuano, and that studly shortstop, Brendan Ryan.

You've got the right attitude Thunder. Fantasy is all about fun, competition and friendly trash talk. I thought I had you put away before yesterday. I didn't realize that you had Lester and Harvey going yesterday. I was at the Mets game last night. It was a pleasure to watch a matchup of Harvey and Scherzer -- two guys with great stuff who really know how to pitch. Good luck this weekend. It should be nip and tuck.

True to your word about the beginning of May. Thanks. I will pm you the address.

Usually at this point, I would have more saves. The Astros are on fire, but have been winning big, and last night was the first time they've needed Gregerson all week. I'm always going to be short in stolen bases, but Bryce Harper had one last night, but it got taken away for some reason. You were at the game, did he get caught stealing the second time? I didn't look at the box scores.
