The Rockport Rassafrass hold a slim lead early, and Jay Payton is my best hitter. Trash talk/gossip/rumors in here, please!

And I am picking up the rear with my group of under achievers.

Is it just me or is the Yahoo Research & Analysis section crappy this year? Are they not going to have the most added a dropped players? Keys to success? and the other stuff they had last year. All they have this year is player notes and a bunch of crap you can buy.

I'm really glad that it's a long season, otherwise I'd go all "1980s Steinbrenner" and start swapping players in and out of my roster.

as opposed to maniacal, impatient, tyrannical, inflamatory 2000s Steinbrenner? ;)

or inflammatory!

Too early to tell, but frankly, I don't think I'll stay in second place for much longer so I'd better get it out now. < sarcasm> My plan, entitled "forget to be there on draft day and get autodrafted" is working perfectly. Suckers! All of you who wasted that precious hour of your life! < /sarcasm> Long season indeed.

one hour? what draft were you at?
posted by jerseygirl at 07:33 PM on April 09, 2003
Definitely not this one.

I wish we could get some more trading going! I'm willing to deal from the top, and those of you with faith in Derek Lowe (I'm looking at YOU, jerseygirl), make me an offer!

say whaaaat? D.Lo isn't looking too enticing. Although, I hope, for the Red Sox's sake, that I am kicking myself in the ass later for not grabbing him from you now.

I made a nice jump in the standings over the past couple of days due to good pitching, but my superstar hitters haven't delievered yet.

OMG! Jerseygirl is dumping on Derek Lowe?!?!? You have no faith!!!!

Hey now, all I said is he didn't look too enticing. Its part of Red Sox following to declare the season over by the middle of April when a pitcher has a bad outing or Nomar failed to turn a double play. It's just what we do. Like I said, I hope its my mistake not to get him from you know. and in other negative Red Sox news... it looks like our Opening Day is going to be rained out tomorrow too... fantastic.

I'd just like to say that my team will NOT continue to perform at this level, and I expect this league to turn out as well for me as the basketball brackets did.
