I quit 

Post#1 » by Chach » Wed May 16, 2007 7:34 pm

My three teams are now officially walking MASH units. I'm toast. I am wasting so many bench spots with inactive and injured guys, you would think I know nothing about baseball.

League 1:
Jim Thome
Jon Lester
Matt Garza
Ryan Braun

The last two are minor leaguers that I have inactive on my roster because management is too stupid to give them a shot (Braun had to be added because I had no spots in my minor leagues).

League 2:
Edwin Encarnacion
Adam Lind
Mark Derosa
Albert Pujols (he's got to be injured)
Josh Bard (is active now but was hurt for awhile)
Rocco Baldelli
Huston Street
Joel Zumaya
Matt Garza again
Josh Beckett
Francisco Liriano (is a keeper's league and he went on the DL the first day of the season so this was a choice)
Carlos Zambrano (that lower arm angle is screaming injury as is his production)

League 3:
Bard again
Baldelli again
Zumaya again
Street again
Beckett again
John Smoltz
Derek Lee
Chris Carpenter

Every guy that I took in a few leagues has managed to get himself injured. And a lot of my top ranked guys have decided to get hurt at some point. I'm about a Jose Reyes having a ruptured Achilles tendon away from mailing in all my teams. mahalo

I am in the same boat, I have at least 4 injured guys per league.

I'm sure none of the other teams in your leagues have had injury issues...

I drafted Ensberg, Encarnancion, Street, Tracy, Zumaya, Felix, and Anibel Sanchez. You won't get any sympathy from me.

i had had two martinis at this point so i asked her if he every shouted DAGGER in the bedroom with her.

she looked at me kinda strangely and said she had no idea what DAGGER meant.

I don't have to worry about putting any pitchers in my starting lineup, all the bench spots are taking up with guys on the DL.

Mine isn't - I'm in 4th.

One week my team bats .350 and the team ERA is under 2.

The next week, like this week, I'm batting .222

Hey, don't get me started on some of the dudes you listed...

btw, despite my missteps, I'm still in 3rd. There is tons of parity in my cash league this year.

Just bustin your chops chief. I thought Ensberg was going to have a bounceback year (although I think he holds minimal value in a standard fantasy league, a custom stats league he offers more).

Now Moises Alou is on the DL. I am the NY Yankees of fantasy baseball.

AND NOW MIKE GONZALES! mahalo

Chach, your title is misleading. I thought this thread was going to be about your addictions to crack-cocaine, Asian women, and Hilary Swank movies.
In other news, one of my fantasy teams has like three healthy pitchers left on its staff.

Crack is for poor people. I do a handful of Perks with a line of coke and I'm good for the day.

That Hilary Swank marathon we had together was a moment of weakness after we had been drinking all day.

I will never quit asian women but I will quit asian shemales. They always disappoint. mahalo
