All things considered with all my walking wounded, including Johnny Cueto, I'm in 2nd place in my league.

The moans that went up around town when Cueto got put on the DL were cute.  I mean, at least he didn't get cleated in the head by someone and have a career-ending concussion-- you know, like he did to Jason LaRue :angry:

And the Pirates hand the Braves their first defeat on the road.  :cool:

He could've at least waited until August to fold.  Fuck.  I need the SBs.

Beltran is up close to .260 and has 3 HR.  He'll be around .300 by sometime in May.

He's had a good week;  unfortunately, Jay's tailed off, as if they've switched places.  Oh well.

I was right to have drafted Poppy Ortiz's injured ass and activate him immediately, though.  :smarty:

Cards win a close one, thanks mostly to them not having to use the bullpen but for a couple outs.  Reds tie it up in the bottom of the 9th as their lucky asses tend to do, but have *their* bullpen get cold-cocked in the 10th, with surprisingly no answer for it in the bottom of the 10th.  Cards slide back into 1st.

Can't wait to get into work tomorrow.  Cocky fuckers were giving me so much shit.

The Red Sox have been surpistingly good this season. I'm really glad I bout the online MLB pckage. :)

I hope they do, if only to wake Jay Bruce the fuck up this season.

People are ready to run Bruce out of town.  Good thing for him people still hate Dusty Baker even more.

Anyway, Beltran is about where I thought he'd be so far.  Jay is has been surprisingly clutch but his numbers are still lagging (opposite of his normal pattern). 

Cards starting pitching is tearing it up, and they have what looks like a solid closer in Mujica.  They need to get some decent middle relievers, though.

Yeah, he's turned out to be the least of my fantasy team problems now.

1 HR, man. One.  Gack.

He's actually got 3.  But if you picked up Jon Jay for home runs, you will be disappointed.

Ouch.  Well, Bruce did pick up one more HR today, but it did nothing to satisfy the yokels as it happened when they were down something like 7-1.
