I was offered Chad Johnson and Frank gore for Addai. I pretty much have my finger on the button. I think Gore can have a better season, He lead Addai in Rushing and Receing Yards, but only had 7 touch downs (5 Rushing, 2 Receiving) I know Addai can be consistant because of the offense of the colts and how defenses don't want to be beat in the air. At the same time Gore will be the centerpeice of the offense for the 49'ers (Honestly what kind of air game do they have) but I fear he is no LT who can take advantage of such a thing. At the same time, getting Chad Johnson really solidifies my wide receiving slots. Right now I have Wayne, Colstone and Bowe. My Running backs are Addai and Thomas Jones. Should I pull the trigger?

We changed it, now he wants us to pick 15 to keep. So We drop 10

Did your mama drop you boy? Cain goes deeper into games, a lower WHIP, an ERA half a run lower, a BAA 20 points lower, and not to mention the strikeouts. oh ya and their defense is a lot better at least jacobs makes the routine plays!!!! i would pick olson over cain anyday!!! i think your on the wrong message board dude You would lose more games than he would... ya i doubt that... You can't win this arguement, Cain is unfortunately indeed the better pitcher. He even has more wins then Oly with a joke of an offense.

I'm Game! :thumbup

Good article, it was painful to read but very true. If anything he should have spoke more about the Pen, clutch hitting wins games, but even if we only put a few runs on the board, the pen still needs to lock it down and keep us in the game. We tend to be compared to last year's Arizona for staying in the race without any big names, they won this way because they had a rotation AND a pen.

Can't be really surprised, we are a fastball hitting team. Early on pitchers didn't catch on to this so we slugged our way up the offensive ranks. We hit a lot of HR's which would make the OPS a bit mis-leading considering the team never walked much. Pitchers are trying to show more breaking stuff and making us miss outside the zone. We have drawn some good amount of walks in certain games this last week but only because they were laying of the stuff away, stuff in the zone has been swung at an missed. I might receive criticism for this but Manny could have really helped the playoff push. If the team doesn't show better plate dicisipline and keeps swinging for the fences, this team will be fortunate to finish 500.

Im in a 25 man roster Keeper's League and the league owner said we will be dropping 15 players from our team to be thrown into the FA poole where they can't be touched until next season's draft. I have a pretty dominant team ( actually have the best record and most poin forwarded :cool ) I need your opionions on who I should drop. It's a points leauge like how Fantasy Football is set up, not the batting average category and stuff like that. Here's the Roster: Offense: C: R. Martin 1B: A. Pujols 2B: B. Roberts 3B: A-Rod SS: M. Young OF: J. Hamilton OF: C. Quentin OF: X. Nady Util: E. Longoria Bnch:------------ C. Maybin I. Suzuki J. Cantu Rotation: (Has no limit) J. Lackey J. Verlander J. Maine E. Santana J. Saunders C. Volstad C. Carpenter R. Oswalt J. Lester ( Wang is on DL but I plan to keep him there ) Relief: M Rivera J Nathan F. Cordero

Ah b*tch! he is on my fantasy team, 35 is a nice amount but if only he could have gone with no hits or runs!

25 for Han-ram and Uggz

What are you refering to? putting the best starter in Albuquerque into the pen he throws heat, not many SP's can throw 100 for a reason.

I think Inge would be closer to available if contention is an issue. Although I wouldnt mind getting jones back too in a deal. i'd perfer someone who doens't injure their shoulders via moving pillows.

NO! i think after this game is over he HAS to be traded for a catcher or another bullpen arm. seriousley give mcpherson a chance, he cant be much worse than jacobs with the bat and he will certainley be much better defensivley Amen! Move Cantu to 1B and big Mac to 3rd! Ever since 06, I can't really say I ever like Jacobs. We fell for his hot second half with the mets even tho most of his big numbers came from a scorched earth series in Arizona when he played for the mutts in '05.

What the dick! :banghead

:bases_loaded damage time!

Not a big Jon Stewart fan but did anyone catch his fake Mr. Met firing of Willie? Check 1:38 :mischief

When a pitcher is that good and starts off the season with an era of 13+, thats probably going to happen

Hate to sound like a baseball noob, but I am not much of a stats person outside ERA, Whip and AVG and OBPS Whats LD%, VORP and EgA?

It goes well to compliment forcing Joba into the rotation without any minorleague starts to help him up his innings! What kind of moron takes a complete stud reliever (note mariano is getting old and wont closer forever) and yells as Girardi for not making him a starter?! Did he not see any of Joba's stat lines as a starter in the minors? Before being called up he would go like 5 innings, 6 if he wasn't wild enough!

Does anyone know of any possible arms that the Tigers could aquire, you always hear about CC and Bedard on the market but havn't heard much about any other closers. Personally I would love to see Harang leave cincy, its really damaging his career to be there.

Who said dictatorship and complete control through threats of physical harm via dangerous weapons is a dead form of managing in the majors? :mischief

Quote from the article on the official site about his progress "I felt strong, and that's the main thing I want to get out of this is to be healthy," Johnson said. "I'm 100 percent healthy, feel good, and I feel like I could've just kept going and going." There is a god! :notworthy

thanks, if I get the oppotunity and olsen showes consistancy release points and Change Up, I might pick him up soon as well

I am sick of Penny's useless @$$. I want to choose between Scott Olsen Jon Lester Aaron Laffey Which of the 3?

the post-game article said 29,000+ were at the stadium :notworthy

he's behind Matsui and DeRoza It's reasons like THIS that BEG to take away the fan voting feature of the allstar game. :| I can somewhat as a stretch understand DeRosa, but how the F*** did Matsui make the list?!
