Well, the sad part in this is it wasn't even close. The suicide squeeze, imho, is somewhat questionable with the bases loaded because you don't need a tag...

Just a reminder - which I just discovered too late to put Jake Westbrooke on as a starting pitcher in my fantasy leagues - but today the game has a 12:05...
Wow,you know it's really a weird year when Jaret Wright has emerged as a better pitcher than Bartolo Colon. But it looks like Leo Mazzone has done it again. ...
I agree mostly. First of all, I hesitate to call it a suicide squeeze with 2 out and the bases loaded. It was simply bunting for a hit and hoping the defense...
Holy crow, yesterday we get beat with two (2!) homers by Rod Barajas (who for some reason is ALWAYS on the waive wire in my APBA leagues). Barajas, although...

I was actually thinking that if CC starts on a Monday, he's going to do his side work on Wednesday, so why not make him available for relief that day. The...

Huh? Who is Timmie C.? Is that Tim Laker, the backup catcher (who is really only a placeholder until Josh Bard gets healthy)? What did this person say? ...
Probably just got mixed about the thread. I would assume Timmie C is Tim Couch. ... From: Mickey Ferguson To: CSML Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 1:39 PM ...
Sorry, Tim Couch. I know it's not football season yet but I just saw the Poston Agents skit and nearly fell out of my chair. Here's the link for anyone who...
I think the strategy you propose runs into trouble with roster spots. If each starter has his own personal reliever, then even a 4-turn rotation occupies 8...
I think there are four issues to be resolved. First, Couch is willing to be a backup to Favre this year, but not more than one year. He's concerned that Favre...
