When discussing his beloved fantasy sports teams, Stephen Malkmus might as well be talking about his music persona: "If I have a winning team, I act really cocky, and if I have a losing team, I act sort of indignant."
...
"That [dramatics at final Pavement show] was stupid," he remembers now, regretfully. Though there was obviously some tension in the breakup, it appears to have been largely amicable — many of the Pavement guys are in Malkmus' fantasy baseball league, after all.

IP is a statistical category this year, as opposed to last year when it wasn't figured into the standings BUT there was a 1200 inning limit (is this correct?).
This year, IP counts toward the standings but there is still a 1400 inning limit. However, only four or five teams are currently projected to reach that limit. For everybody else, IP is effectively a counting stat just like any other.
Yes?

You don't think it was a fair offer? My guy is presently ranked higher than your guy on Yahoo's rankings. Also, I figured that you were in the ideal "sell high" situation.
― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 11 June 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)
and leee, no, it's Hee Hate Me that i have an offer in with. grr. I'm cancelling, and announcing:
JOHNNY DAMON IS ON THE TRADING BLOCK. FIRST ONE THAT OFFERS ME GREAT RELIEF OR STARTING PITCHING WILL BE AMPLY REWARDED.
― Haikunym (Haikunym), Saturday, 11 June 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)
Sorry! I typed that comment this morning before I saw your offer (which has now been accepted).
Anyway, this exchange has confused me a bit, but the end result is the same -- CAN/US CROSS-BORDER TRADING HAS BEEN RESUMED.

I was thinking more of his peripheral numbers:
Games Runs RBI2004 144 72 842005 62 32 40
2005 62 32 40
Also, it's just his power numbers that are down -- OBP and AVG are virtually the same as last year.
Basically, it makes no sense to me that he's having this type of season without Bonds in the lineup.

MIR - sorry about that dopey trade offer. I made it while playing poker (won $70!), and was distracted, and came to my senses about 5 minutes after making the offer.
Note to Carlos Beltran: go on the stupid DL, heal your damn quads, and stop "being a man" about it, because there's nothing manly about a 2-for-22 slide and ONE STOLEN BASE.
― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 20 June 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)
Also - hot damn, that in-hindsight ill-advised Jorge Cantu / Nick Johnson swap is almost not embarrassing! Dude actually WALKED a couple of times this weekend! That's hot!
― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 20 June 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)
I'm not sure what I'll do if Ramon Hernandez ends up on the DL. I don't see the point of picking up another catcher short-term, because catchers can't hit and the replacement would just drag down my stats.

C: Hernandez (wrist)2B: Vidro (ankle)SS: Cabrera (elbow)OF: Edmonds (ribs)OF: Damon (shoulder)OF: Holliday (hand)
That's five regulars and a semi-regular, all of them are either on the DL or day-to-day (although Edmonds looks like he's back as of today). Damon should be full-time by the weekend, and Vidro could be back this weekend. Surely this is the low point of my season.
My only opening day starters who haven't been injured are Helton and Lowell. Ironically, they both have sucked.

Honestly, I've gone through about five or six players in his abscence to try and fill the void left by his two months on the DL.

Jim ThomeChipper JonesSteve FinleyOliver PerezClint Barmes (since dumped -- I have to have someone to play.)
I am totally fuxxored and probably won't finish much better than where I am currently located, unless Brad Hawpe, Jason Lane and Aaron Boone turn into some power hitting machines. I've been making up some ground in hits, OBP and SB, but other than Livan, I've been bleeding some points in my pitching.

Like you, my 4th round pick is ass (Lowell). I kind of wish he'd get cut, it'd put me out of my misery.
Only four of my #11 - 20 picks are no longer on my team (one left via trade). Like I said upthread, most of my roster moves consisted of cycling through a parade of infielders to fill in for Vidro (and the struggling Lowell).
