ILX Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball League 2003 -- Part 2 . . .

And hstencil, I just check box scores to see who the starters are and hope that they'll be starters for the next game. Better 'n noffink. (Hey, one night on top and I'm already giving out expert advice!)

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
It's off to the waivers with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay in the league with no RBI appeal
Looking out on the diamond, behind the radar gun

So I chose free agents
Stealing home, trying everything new
But your BA impressed none at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Rich Aurillia
The truth is I never rated you
All through my dugout days
My sad trades with gygax!
I kept my promise
Please keep your distance

And as for Prior, and as for Woods
I always send them in
Though it seemed to the league they were all I desired

They are mere Cubbies
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love Dusty and hope Dusty loves me

Don't cry for me Rich Aurillia
The truth is I needed some pitching
All through the bottom third
My sad Cubbie relievers
I kept no promise if
Only they'd keep their distance

Have I dropped too much?
There's no one more I can think of to add.
But all you have to do is press submit
That every word is Bonds

Leee, what's your teamname? And who can you offer me for Abreu?

ESPN's Rob Neyer on that bastard Baldelli:

It's not hard to see what people see in Rocco Baldelli.

He can run. Baldelli gets out of the box as quickly as any right-handed hitter I've seen since Bo Jackson.

He can throw. In the 15th inning last night, Baldelli prevented what looked like a sure go-ahead run with a perfect throw to nail Trot Nixon at the plate.

And he looks like a ballplayer. He's big and he's strong and he's got "the good face" (as old scouts like to say).

But can he field? Monday, he turned a line-drive single into something worse.

And can he hit? Tuesday, he collected three base hits ... none of which left the infield.

As you might have heard, Baldelli played 23 games at the Triple-A level last summer and drew the grand total of zero walks, which suggests that he's still got a few things to learn. And that's OK, because he's still just a baby of only 21 years.

So no, Rocco Baldelli isn't Joe DiMaggio yet. But it should be fun watching him try to get there.

(Note: I'm not really a bitter guy; I'm super fun & cuddly, like a Monchichi, or Squirtle. But mock interviews & typing up chemistry labs & infuriating comp sci professors make me LKDJLXZXIQOFDLKAPI. You understand, I hope.)

I am "Who needs pitching" and I'm offering fawning compliments about your artistry for Abreu.

And who is that playing in Darin Erstad's uniform? I didn't even want him and he's like my most prodcutive player.

It is a sad day for Chicago reality baseball. Come on Barry Zito! Get your Cuteball over for strikes!

Biddle though.. hmmm, someone just picked him up in my other league as well. He must have done something. I guess I'm supposed to be, like, keeping up on this.

Yeah, it hurt me more that it hurt Damaso to drop him but I realized I was missing out on a whole category of stats. Plus, I always liked Rocky Biddle. Such a cutie. One time he made a start aginst Mussina and Sports Center did a whole Rocky and Bullwinkle Moose thing.
