Shortstop Adam Everett
Left Field David Murphy
Center Field Willy Taveras
Right Field Travis Buck
Pitcher 1 Matt Harrison
Pitcher 2 Brian Moehler

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 21 April 2009 02:04 (sixteen years ago)

up to 2nd! Blum and Taveras starting to contribute.

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 26 April 2009 12:30 (sixteen years ago)

Wow, nice! (I didn't enter this year, I've never been any good at HM)

Kinda hilarious to see Chien-Ming Wang (chosen by only two people) "leading" the ESPN standings by a mile.

NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 26 April 2009 14:05 (sixteen years ago)

but he's on the DL now, along with my ace Brian Moehler.

Dr Morbius, Sunday, 26 April 2009 15:27 (sixteen years ago)

way to pick em! i am all the way at #593!

it's early, im sure some of mine will lose jobs.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 27 April 2009 01:18 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, you don't want to peak too early.

two weeks pass...

i've fallen 240 places since Kendry Morales started hitting, and Matt Harrison began PITCHING WELL!

Dr Morbius, Saturday, 16 May 2009 15:14 (sixteen years ago)

you picked Kendry?!

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Saturday, 16 May 2009 20:21 (sixteen years ago)

i did, his projections looked shitty enough.

Dr Morbius, Saturday, 16 May 2009 20:50 (sixteen years ago)

may turn out to be a better pick than mike jacobs at least

۞_۞ (ciderpress), Saturday, 16 May 2009 21:15 (sixteen years ago)

kendry!

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 05:06 (sixteen years ago)

go easy, plz, i had a bad night all around.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 12:54 (sixteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

back in the top 100 thanks to a crappy Brian Moehler start! now Rangers need to get Harrison off the DL.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 14:11 (sixteen years ago)

shit, Burriss sent down to Fresno! my 2B!

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 14:04 (sixteen years ago)

You can't go wrong with Braves outfielders.

unicorn poop evaluator (WmC), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 17:59 (sixteen years ago)

I completely forget to do this.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 18:12 (sixteen years ago)

Matt Harrison shelllacking gets me up to 50th.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 24 June 2009 14:38 (sixteen years ago)

i am still way back at #737! i think if i switched my HM team and my fantasy team i might do better in both leagues!

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 24 June 2009 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

What's encouraging is that the current leader's pitchers are Adam Eaton and Sidney Ponson... I don't see either making any more MLB starts.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 24 June 2009 15:27 (sixteen years ago)

some of these team names deserve an award all their own. i mean - "The Tampa Bay Christ Punchers"? wau!

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Friday, 26 June 2009 18:55 (sixteen years ago)

one month passes...

if only I'd picked Emilio Bonifacio, David Ortiz and Daniel Murphy.

Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Monday, 10 August 2009 15:08 (sixteen years ago)

I forgot to do this. :(

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:49 (sixteen years ago)

I feel pretty stupid for picking a 1B with 26 HRs (K Morales), but how anyone could've picked anyone but Willy Taveras for CF is beyond me. He leads all players with 104 points; the next CF is Upton with... 56. Do you think Dusty plays HM?

Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 13:48 (sixteen years ago)

I don't think anyone predicted the Angels offense was going to go this batshit crazy.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 16:32 (sixteen years ago)

i was relying on Bourns :(

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 17:10 (sixteen years ago)

Willy T to DL! There go 10 weekly points for everybody.

Indiana Morbs and the Curse of the Ivy League Chorister (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 20 August 2009 23:30 (sixteen years ago)

one month passes...

Taveras, Kendall and Adam Everett are 262 of my 384 points.

A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 26 September 2009 16:00 (sixteen years ago)
