On da hop~!! (A Yahoo OTM Fantasy Update)

PrintOh, hello, all you people.
It's been awhile since anyone has done any sort of update on how things are going in our Yahoo fantasy pool. And the main update is this:
I absolutely destroyed Sox-Inda-South this week! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, what a beatdown. The other exciting news is USG dropping the week to Boston Braves...by two points!!
Seriously, yo. That's close. Shockingly, the win was Boston Braves first of the season. Our own personal Houston Astros. *hugs* Here's the current standings after 9 weeks:
A win by that German fella and USG's loss put them in a tie for first. My mediocrity is shining through as you can see by my current 8th place standing. Here's the Week 10 match-ups:
Personal Roster Notes
I decided to try to pad my pitching so I dropped some position players and snagged some pitchers over the past few weeks. I picked up Tim Wakefield just in time for Shaky Wakey to drop a NEGATIVE TWENTY-TWO on me a couple weeks ago (~!!). He rebounded nicely this past week to provide me with two whole points. It's a good thing I love you, Timmeh.
I finally DFA'd Mark Buehrle. Dude...I give up on you. I picked up Jason Hammel instead...I think because of something Radiohix wrote. I can't quite remember. Bard and Buchholz have both been huge for me all season, same as they have the real team. Let's hope for me and us both that they don't blow out The Hope Destroyer's arm.

I've been meaning to do this for the CBS league.
But haven’t gotten around to it.
Looks like fun over there in Yahoo! land.

It's my first ever venture into sports fantasy stuff
I’m enjoying it!
And I’ve been wondering what’s been going on with the other league…an update would be great.

I’ll say one thing, I’m beating everyone ass, BAD. Like no one is close to me. *

My last match was pretty exciting
Had a really bad week from starters, despite 10 starts. In the end, I won by I think 1.5 points because Ryan Franklin pitched a perfect (non-save) inning last night in the sunday night game (And Garcia had also been one of my starts). It was a nail-biter.
I'll look into how many I put in the playoffs
Whoever said it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, probably lost.
6 teams.
top half in, bottom half out.

Top 2 get byes first week I'm guessing?
Quarters
3 vs 6, 4 vs 5
Semis
4 v 5 winner plays 1
3 v 6 winner plays 2
Yeah
NFL format I guess.

Quite amazing that i'm tied for first
considering the first 3 players I picked are more or less disappointing this season: Lincecum (1st rd) has a 5-2 record with a 3.203 ERA not bad but not great for him. Greinke (2nd Rd) and Sizemore can even be entitled complete busts. Sizemore’s Season is over, after giving me close to nothing when he played and Greinke has a 4+ ERA. My Team rocks because of great late round picks: Kelly Johnson, Paul Konerko and Alex Rios.
I’m thinking its finally time to let Gordon Beckham go after spoting a nice -3 yesterday. But i havent checked the FA market for a 3B Replacement, we’ll see.

I think your strategy to bulk up on SP is what has helped you out.
Because of the way the scoring is, pitchers regularly rack up the double-digits nights. So even if Greinke has a down night (or season), he’ll still probably net you 12 or more points on the night. Then you rotate him out and rotate the next guy in.
Worked well.

I should also state, however
That you should be ashamed of yourself by the number of MFYs on your team, and if you win your victory shall be a hollow one.

haha
i just exploited the situation that red sox player were overrated and Yankees underrated on draft day ;)
I only have 3/5 of the Yankees Starting Rotation though .
PS: Ben could you post the overall points ranking again if its not too much trouble?

Hmmm...pretty soon, this post is gonna get pushed off the main page.
Any way we can get a couple people to rec it to keep it there for the rest of the week?

GRS and BZ
heading into the last day in a dead-heat (GRS 304.5, BZ 301)
GRS has Greinke and Hamels going
BZ has Edwin Jackson, King Felix and Weaver going
Should be an interesting day
Jesus, no kidding.
Me an Frosh Fifteen have about 6 points between us, I think.

I have 5 starters today to her 2, though.
Let’s hope Shaky Wakey stays home today.

Only so close because if forgot to start Johnson.
but it looks good sofar. Greinke and Hamels both very strong.
On a complete unrelated sidenote: GERMANY 4 – AUSTRALIA 0. Yeah baby!

Yep looks like Greinke did it for you
I’m back to 0.500 with a horde of others. If my team can ever put pitching and hitting together in one week – watch out!
