RealGM MLB Open Thread-4/7 to 4/13 

Post#1 » by HCYanks » Mon Apr 7, 2008 6:12 pm

So, one week into the MLB season, and we have Bizarro world standings, the sky falling in Detroit, and a bunch of other reactionary tomfoolery. I think i'll start stickying these threads since the first one was pretty busy.

The Orioles just swept a 4 game series against Seattle. Unbelievable. Brian Roberts is doing everything in his power to raise his trade stock.

Jeff Suppan vs Johnny Cueto on Tuesday. I would be stunned if the Brewers lost.

I tried, and I got robbed by waiver priority. It makes me quite sad.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

You should make one of these threads for every week of the season.

It's Nate McLouth's world. We are all just bit players in it.

Good day of fantasy so far: Pat Burrell- 2 home runs, Jimmy Rollins- 1 home run and Cole Hamels got me a win.

Jose Valverde blows the game for Wandy Rodriguez. Cards tie it up at 3 in the 9th, still batting.

So apparently Brad Lidge got himself a mighty crispy tan and changed his name over the summer.

Go figure.

Torii Hunter hit a 8th inning homer to give the Angels a 2-1 lead only to have the Indians put up 3 in the 9th giving them a 4-2 lead.
