[wilkerson_rulz-06]

[TheKingofKings]

I just noticed that the Indians Bullpen in the file is wrong.

Here it is:

CL Cabrera
SU Sherrill (in AAA according to the File)
SRP Marte
SRP Betancourt
MRP Howry
LRP Greinke

[MillerLincecum96]

The Cubs activate Alfonso Soriano from the 15 Day DL and option Adam Greenberg to Iowa.

[Erik Bedard]

Boston places Ryan Wagner on the 15-day DL and calls up Joel Zumaya from AAA.

[jsmets92]

The Padres option Chase Headley to Portland and recall Tony Blanco.

[jsmets92]

I just wanted to share Carlos Pena's redonkulous numbers at this point:

102 ABs, 13 HRs, 41 RBIs .745 SLG
That would be 64 HRs and 201 RBIs in a 500 AB season.

(And to think I waited until June to get him into the lineup everyday)

[JordanDL3891]

on the 23rd, it says I won 6-5, and had an off day

are you sure thats the right Pena there?

[JordanDL3891]

Wily Mo is actualy batting crapy this season, at least compared to A-rod

You should know better. Your team would never score only six runs

[Mex4Prez]

Time to mix up the lineup a little, hopefully some bats can heat up. And can you make Marcus Sanders primary position 2B? He is in AAA with another SS prospect and they are splitting ab's. Thanks and no hurry.

VS RHP
1.Furcal-SS
2.Izturis-3B
3.Torcato-RF
4.Howard-1B
5.Linden-LF
6.Molina-C
7.E. Chavez-CF
8.Iwamura-2B

VS LHP
1.Furcal-SS
2.Izturis-3B
3.Werth-RF
4.Sweeney-1B
5.Linden-LF
6.Baldelli-CF
7.Frandsen-2B
8.Alfonzo-C

[JordanDL3891]

Astros place OF Mitch Einertson on the 15-day dl, recall OF Prentice Redman from AAA (round rock)??? (is he still in my system, lol)

can you PM me when Einertson & Zimmerman return?

new lineup:

1. 2B Keppinger
2. LF Cano
3. 1B Sing
4. 3B Rodriguez
5. RF Pena
6. CF Crawford
7. SS Arias
8. C Molina
9. Pitcher

I need to better utalize cano's hot bat, and crawford is batting .280, .280 is still decent, and I hate to move crawford out of the leadoff spot.

[jsmets92]

Both done for the games on July 1st.

Here is one of the weirdest games I have ever seen Verlander is lifted after 92 pitches with a no hitter, and then Cormier who has 2 outs in the ninth still w/ a no hitter is lifted for Papelbon who proceeds to blow the game

NATIONALS WIN: 2-1

[Mex4Prez]

Mogul always has some crazy box scores, I love reading them.

A couple of weeks ago my team was trailing by one going into the bottom of the ninth. The other teams closer walked five guys and I came from behind to win by a literal walk off(without getting one hit). Then a couple of days later I hit into 9 double plays in a 9 inning game.

[Erik Bedard]

And that, folks, is why I traded Jonathan Papelbon.

[jsmets92]

Please vote for the ASG if you haven't yet. I've only gotten 4 ballots so far....

Here is a file w/ updated stats to use

http://www.2shared.com/file/3556091/...BFTG_2008.html

[Reyesfan#1]

The Dodgers activate Joel Guzman and DFA Joe Thurston.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Weee my Nats!

lol I light up Papelbon like a junkie lights up a smoke, lol.

Anyway as for the simming, I'll be taking them over until next week (I go on vacation after that) so send me your lineups from now on.

Also, the Nationals are looking to get on a streak, hopefully, after I tweak my lineup a bit!

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

3 games were simmed guys, I'll get one up today and two tomorrow, I'm swamped at work with beta-testing some products right now.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

BTW folks, VOTE FOR JASON BARTLETT.

216 AB, .356 AVF, .407 OBP, 4 HR, 23 RBI, 77 H, 3 triples
