ILX Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball League 2003 -- Part 5: ...(still) going

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

[continued from Pt. 4 here. -- mod.] Time for Pt. 5, doncha think? Let's kick things off by looking at the early All Star vote numbers.

Here's the AL, and here's the NL.

The NL looks surprisingly spot-on to me (tho many of the second-place vote-getters should be starters), while the AL is disgustingly off the mark.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy fuck the ballots from NYC & Japan need to be BURNED.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yanc3y, please link the part 4 in the lead post kthxbye!

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

i ain't no mod! i can't do that. sorry 4 4getting

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

'sallgut.

javy lopez not in the top 5 NL catchers...

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Bernie Williams over like five other guys.

freakin' Giambi over Delgado.

I hate people.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

So this year every team has to have one representative and the winner gets homefield in the World Series? Whatever, Mr. Selig... whatever.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

That might change - he's done a good portion of his damage in recent weeks, so it might take a li'l while for the polls to reflect that. Also, Atlanta don't draw the fannies like they used to, so it's up to those TBS-lovin' folks outside of Hotlanta to punch the chads. And, y'know, those that can't stand to vote for Benito (right now the 2nd best catcher in the NL thanks to IRod's recent slumparooni).

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, fuck, Sosa over Pujols? Renteria over Furcal? I don't think so.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Plus, doesn't every IP address get 5 online ballots to fill out? Let's start clicking!

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

But alotta Braves deserve to start for sures: Giles, Furcal, Sheff and A Jones are no-brainers.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's get Alex Sanchez a starting spot. Deal?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Joey Belle's NL All-Stars:
C: Benito Santiago
1B: man, I don't wanna vote for Bagwell - how about Richie Sexson?
2B: Marcus Giles (juuust over Vidro)
SS: Rafael Furcal
3B: Mike Lowell (juuust over Rolen)
OF: Barry Bonds (or Andruw) / Albert Pujols / Gary Sheffield

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex Sanchez can start IN MY POOP.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

So we write him in for catcher then?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Joey Belle's AL All-Stars:
C: fucking Jorge Posasa
1B: Carlos Delgado
2B: fucking Alfonso Soriano
SS: Alex Rodriguez
3B: Troy Glaus (but I want Hank Blalock)
OF: Aubrey Huff / Vernon Wells / Carl Everett (or fucking Raul Mondesi)

Pardon my goddamn language, BTW.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Write-in catcher vote = RAUL CASANOVA

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

NL Catchers dispute!

according to the ILX Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball Rank-O-Meter™:

Benito is #107th
Javy is #115th
I-Rod is #187th

all stats are season to date.

But conditionally, Benito is more valuable to the Giants since they're so injury plagued and he plays with 102-103 degree fevers and is an old man that can still hit long straightaway center.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

my ballot is at home unfortunately, i spent a whole N-Judah ride home thinking mine over the other night.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-b-b-b-b-but what about Wiki?!?!?

So, who will the Tigers, Pirates, Marlins and Padres send as their reps?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

And he falls on his ass every time he swings. He's like a drunk or a whirligig or one of those beanie propellors. If he wasn't so damn lazy as a catcher I'd totally love him & his cocky "pay me what I'm worth" ways.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

My guesses...

Detroit: Dmitri
Pitt: Mike Williams
Marlins: Pudge
SD: Klesko???
TB: Huff

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Pirates = Kip Wells
Padres = Ryan Klesko
Marlins = Mike Lowell Mike Lowell and Mike Lowell
Tigers = Simba, the Lion King

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Or Ryan Bonderman?!?!??!?! (?!?!???!!?!?!)

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Bonderman has eaten 45 different bags of dick this year. He ain't goin. Yeah, yr right on Lowell. You think Kip Wells? His ERA and opposing BA are pretty tight, but he ain't got the wins!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The Tigers should just send Al Kaline or Ty Cobb's great-grandson or Prince Fielder (loaned from the Brew Crew) in his dad's uni & save us all the trouble of having to deal w/ picking a Tiger.

I'm going w/ Kip, because of all the non-win stats. Mike Williams has been eating a fair amount of sausage, too.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I would go with Kip for that reason too, but as Clemens' Cy Young demonstrated a couple years ago, it's all about the W's.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

John Smoltz is the Tigers' rep every year.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Other chumpy teams:
Indians = C.C. Sabathia (ha ha does this count as 2 roster spots ha) or Ellis "Favorite Player Ever" Burks
Reds = Austin Kearns or Adam "Put Me In, Coach!" Dunn
Mets = Rey Sanchez's hair stylist or Bobby V. in the fake moustache
ChiSox = Magglio Ordonez (again) or that Loaiza guy
Royals = Mike Sweeney (w/ Carlos Beltran gaining on the outside) (& Raul Ibanez being the dark horse)

Of course, there has to be allowances made for Scoscia taking a slew of semi-worthy Angels, too - if he takes anyone else besides Salmon (& Glaus, if he's not voted in) (& maybe Fullmer, if the kid gets off the uppers & chills out), he'll have some 'splainin' to do.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

No Aaron Boone for the Reds? And what about Coco Crisp for the Tribe?

Don't count out Hernandez for the Royals...

Blount I think our ballots are identical.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, the NL is going to win the home field advantage in the World Series.

(You know me, and how I heart the relief pitchers.)

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 30 May 2003 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

oh no! Wade Miller on Yancey's bench! oh no!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 30 May 2003 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I know! Yahoo didn't have the little carrot next to his name this morning to say he was pitching today, so I left him there! FUCKERS!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 20:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(and yes, i know i shoulda checked elsewhere but i'm a lazy fucker and this is my punishment)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

You would have had 14K! My strikeout crown is tarnished.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 30 May 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

He almost struck out 4 in the ninth (passed ball)!

But Sammy popped out to end it.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 30 May 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i may lose, but it's a moral loss! how does that hollow crown feel, ms. felicity?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(and lemme add: i gots 10 of yr dollars buring a hole in my pocket!)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 30 May 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

The crown feels like FOOL'S GOLD. My quest for 18th place continues.

Ha ha, I'll pay you the sawbuck (fin? whatever) next time I see you and save myself the interest.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 30 May 2003 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

they are the toronto blue jays and they have come for your children!!

(it's the first time i've rushed home to catch the end of a jays game in years)

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 1 June 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Trade bait: I'm willing to get rid of Kenny Rogers and Tim Wakefield, probably not for much either.

Also: for anyone looking to swing a blockbuster: A-Rod might be on the block.

Make me some offers!

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 June 2003 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

0-fers: I fucked up. Meant to take the other Hernandez. You still down?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 2 June 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh no, Jeromy Burnitz in my starting OF! Oh no!

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 2 June 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

CLEVELAND ONLY A GAME AND A HALF BEHIND THE SOX!!!

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 2 June 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Please someone trade me anything for anybody.

― hstencil, Monday, 2 June 2003 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

You rejected my last trade offer without even a counter-proposal or by-your-leave, so I am feeling too insecure to suggest anything.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 2 June 2003 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

well that was weeks ago when I was feeling less desperate.

Pulling for a friend
They came up together as rookies with the San Francisco Giants, shared an apartment in the city, but Shawn Estes and Bill Mueller were like the odd couple.
Estes was a pitcher, a lefty, wore his emotions on his sleeve on the mound. Mueller, a third baseman, never changed his expression or showed his emotions on the field.
Now, they are both married, recently bought homes near each other in Arizona and maintain a close friendship by talking once or twice a week on the phone.
Estes is with the Cubs now. Mueller is with the Boston Red Sox and is enjoying a career year at the top of the potent Red Sox lineup after struggling through a knee injury the past two seasons. He is fifth in the majors with a .330 batting average.
"I am very humbled, but I was just trying to do my job getting good at-bats and driving in some runs," Mueller said. "I don't worry about individual numbers. We're in a big race, and I try to focus on winning baseball games. I'm not a big stats guy or records guy. My foundation is to go out and help my club get the victory."
"I don't think Boston got him to hit home runs. They realized what he could (do) with his glove and his bat, just fundamentally. They had enough bangers they didn't need him to hit home runs. Now that he's hitting them, it's just a bonus," Estes told the Oakland Tribune.

"I'm rooting for the Red Sox all the way," Estes said. "Mainly, because Billy is there and also because I feel sorry for the Red Sox. I want to see them win. I want to see them knock the Yankees off their pedestal. They've been on top the last eight or whatever years. I'm rooting for them."

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

SF gets Eric Young 2B -- workout buddy of Bonds and Sheffield(ATL) for yet another minor leaguer pitcher.

Womack goes to the Cubs, Cubs fans, uh, rejoice.

Speaking of Sheff, what ever happened to Yanc3y?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

My bday was two months ago, gygax! ;)

The Young trade is a waiver wire deal, yes?

― Leee (Leee), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

So, I was listening to a sports talk station on the way to the supermarket yesterday and they were talking about how they hope the Tigers break the record for most losses in a season. Because it would be the Baseball Gods saying to Mike Illitch, Dave Dombrowski, Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson "shame on you for trying pass off this team as competitive at the beginning of the season." I think I'm inclined to agree... and the scary thing is that 120 losses isn't out of reach at all.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The Tigers are terrible, but taking into consideration the 2003 Mets' payroll, I think this year's Mets might arguably be one of the worst teams ever. There's NO HOPE for them, unless they totally gut that team. It's just ridiculous how depressing they are to watch.

I haven't been around very much, gygax, but I'm still here.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, the Mets are looking up a bit, at least compared to what they were in April. The BP notion that the current crop of rookies on the Mets (Jeff Duncan / Jason Phillips / Jae Seo) is similar to the trio of Yankee rookies / placeholders from the early 90s (Oscar Azocar / Kevin Maas / Clay Parker) is probably spot-on - they're just a transition team. Despite that, if the Mets could actually field a semi-decent & healthy outfield - that is, get 140ish games from Cliff Floyd, & mulch Timo Perez & Roger Cedeno - they'd probably have at least 10 more wins.

And how the hell did anyone associated with the Tigers think they had a shot? I can understand the usual "that's why you play the game" pre-season rhetoric, but any hopes outside of that is some kind of crazy.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Go Tigers!

Looks like Baez is out of a closers job and is now the setup man for Riske in Cleveland. Some holds might be forthcoming for the person I traded Baez to... (Leee?)

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it was crazy, but in spring training they were doing the whole, "we're turning this thing around this season and we have lots of talent." The same sports talk guy said something like, "remember when I was down there in spring training and I said this was the worst team I have ever seen in all my years of covering baseball?"

And the Tigers early on this season had some sort of promotion to "come out and see the young pitching talent of Jeremy Bonderman!!" Pretty sad.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I always thought Higginson was supposed to be the big up and coming talent for the Tigers. What the hell happened?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh... well, he's up and come, or something. He's 33!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

33! Sheesh. Next thing you'll be telling me Steve Kemp's out of baseball.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Fear not, Tiger fans! Look @ this! Draw parallels at your leisure. And also note that the Braves finished first the very next year WITHOUT Maddux!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh. ESPN was reading my posts... 2003 Tigers beat 1962 Mets in 6 games!

Here's Baseball Prospectus' take.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

All I know is - after the Angels' out-of-ass performance last year, and the Royals holding onto first place after missing Beltran & Sweeney for a couple months (collectively) and relying on Lima Time and Darrell May to get them through some tough spots, anything is possible! Sweet crap, look @ that pitching staff!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh... and the thing is that the Braves had Teddy Turner's deep pockets and a great farm system to get them where they where. The Tigers have a cheapskate owner (it baffles everyone how he can spend so much money on the Red Wings and let the Tigers DIE for the past 10 years or so) and the best prospects of the farm system are ON THE TEAM right now. It really is amazing.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait a sec. That last post makes it sound like I actually care.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't the Orioles lose like 50 games outta the gate like 15 years ago?

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Pocketman, Danys "Joan" Baez is indeed mine. I'm down to one "bona fide" closer (Worrell, whom we all know was *supposed* to be a setup man). I have a glut of middle relief now! I need another closer!

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

My stupidest ILB moves:

1) trading Sabitha for Eldred. (blinded by homerism and that I had "too much" starting pitching.) (And then droppng Eldred and now he has like 3 wins this month!)

2) dropping Damaso Marte early in the season when he was sucking.

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

My boners:

1. Fielding (and at one point pulling the trigger on) any number of Pujols deals.

2. Dropping Mueller when he was platooning early in the season.

3. Dropping Quantrill and Dave Weathers.

4. Trading Edmonds for Mesa.

Fortunately I've found enough gems to balance things out.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Smoltz - Hurt or Healthy?

Only 4 appearances in the last 3 weeks (the 2nd to last was giving up a huge HR to Pujols for a Blown Save/Loss).

Two close games vs. SFO the last two nights, no sign of Smoltz... not even any bullpen action when Grybolski loaded them up with 1 out.

No Smoltz = Braves troubles?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 21 August 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

The majors should totally adapt the little league introduction format where the players' favorite songs, movies, tv shows and foods are announced. I NEED to know what Jose Lima likes to eat!!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 August 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and favorite player too.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 August 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Given his last outing, Lima likes to eat a bag of dicks.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 August 2003 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I was watching it one day and the 2nd baseman said his favorite player was Bret Boone and I thought 'smart pick' and the right fielder picked Ichiro and I thought 'that kid's pretty cool' and then the catcher picked Ben Davis and I thought 'wtf? - BEN DAVIS?!!!'. anyhow, the team was from Washington. can you imagine what it would be like to be 12 years old and your favorite player is Ben Davis?

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

who did Japan blow the fuck out of the other day? the slaughter rule was invoked

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i forget who they massacred. but mexico's pitcher struck out the side to get out of a serious jam (bases loaded, no outs) relatively unscathed. one wild pitch got japan two runs, however.

my pick would be wiki gonzalez, no doubt.

In case gygax! ain't yet hep, Smoltz on the DL for tendinitis.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

nice, thanks Leee. I saw him called into the bullpen during the last of the SF0-ATL series (ref: Worrell meltdown #235325) and he looked weak, something was off.

yet smoltzy pitched back to back games this past weekend (including his last outing in COL where he struck out the save for #44)... but only 4 appearances in the past 3 1/2 weeks speaks volumes.

but they can afford this what with their luxurious 14 game lead (cf: NL/AL Central divisions).

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Leee you city slicker!!! I just traded my only healthy closer to you!! I had no idea Smoltz was going on the DL.
