Quick!  Somebody send a gift basket to Scott Boras immediately!  LOL  Can we start negotiating with him right now?        
We don't want any deadline issues like he had with Pedro Alvarez this year and the Nats had with Crow...

Bags, did you get lost?

what a great interview question for the new GM*.   how much money are you willing to spend on Strausburg?  if Lerner balks, don't take the job. 

*I have a feeling Bowden will be gone.

GAME OVER.  WE LOSE, BUT WIN...



May NONE of us ever see this team lose 102 games in one season again, for the rest of our lives.

The lead in the WNFF Fantasy Baseball World Series has swung back and forth.  At one point I was up 6-4-0 and thom202 went up 6-4-0 a while ago.  It's TIED 5-5-0, and thom202 wins a tie, with the #1 seeding.

Haha, Marlins up 4-2, Brewers just got a homer to go up 3-1.  Mets future is looking dim.

CONGRATULATIONS to thom202's Loxoscelidaes for winning the 2008 WNFF Fantasy Baseball League!

The 2nd leg of a Yankees-Red Sox doubleheader remains, but the only way the World Series standings can change is if A-Rod and Ortiz get 9 stolen bases in tonight's game for me.  I took the lead this afternoon, then it was TIED for awhile, and then thom202's Tim Lincecum matched his career high with 13 strikeouts to finish with a majors-best 265, and gave Cy Young Award voters an impressive final start to think about.  He fanned five of the first six batters.

NAME                             R     HR   RBI   SB    AVG       K     W   SV   ERA   WHIP      SCORE
#2 WNFF nats2playoffs   101   26   106  11   .265      140   11   10   4.00   1.41      4-5-1
#1 D.C. Loxoscelidaes      96   23     94   19   .313     150   11     2   3.99   1.22      5-4-1

The most significant result was probably Cy Young candidate Tim Lincecum's 7 innings TODAY with 13 Ks, to give thom202 a 10 strikeout lead for the Series.  St Louis scratched Kyle Lohse for me today, at the last second, but he wouldn't have struck out that many.  I took a slight lead in the ERA category this afternoon, but Lincecum limited the Dodgers to 1 run.
