Would have thought against Davis that Dunn would get to watch today.

Yup, yup, yup. This would appear to have been a good day to get Dunn a rest, against a lefty that he is 2 for 18 lifetime against...

Leave Freel in today and sit Dunn. That would have made a bit more sense to me.

We'll see.

Freel needs to sit once in ahwile. With the way he plays he needs more off days then done.

I would have bat BP leadoff today, or even Felipe 1st with EE second, but oh well.

He's certainly collecting pine on both my fantasy teams today. I'm seeing a solid 0-3 with 1 BB from him today. He sounds like he could use a day to relax and collect his thoughts, but I guess getting shutout makes a manager want to keep his basher in the lineup the next day.

Ryan Freel out of the lineup seems about right -- he was due for a day-off as well.

You know, I think Fantasy Baseball should really be Fantasy baseball--meaning if you wanted to substitute Dick Tracy or Tracy Morgan for Chad Tracy, you could.

If you wanted to buy hit points for your Ork, you could do that as well.

That's how we run my league. I sat Adam Dunn today, and replaced him Adam West. I'm figuring the utility belt has to be worth at least three additional stolen bases.

I had a friend that didn't get sports who used to puzzle over fantasy baseball. He said that there was a group of people who were all really into Amtrak trains and played a game where each person picked a group of trains and was awarded points based on how close the train came in to it's scheduled time, how clean the train was, and who it's driver was that everyone would think those people were certifiably insane. Why, he asked, should it be any different for fantasy baseball entusiasts?

We didn't stay friends for very long

So much for Dunn getting today off....McCrack leading off? I think Phillips should be agetting a little more love from Narron at this point.

Phillips "might" be doing better because he is at the bottom of the order.

[Heath]

BPhill hitting 7-8 is fine with me. I think hitting him up in the order is the recipe for a meltdown.

Let him rake down there.

Has Phillips taken a BB yet? quite a hacker.
