Fade, you gonna activate El Duque, since he started Sunday's game vs the Stros and isn't hurt anymore? I guess you could swap him and Schill... For that matter, looks like Jent needs to activate Jeff Kent, who's been healthy for the last month.
Yeah, the IR rules have always been pretty laid back, mostly because I just don't want to devote the time and effort to police it. I noticed jent's IR players a few weeks ago but didn't consider it worth making an issue of. I figure as long as the player was in fact legitimately hurt when he initially got placed there, then he can stay there until you decide to activate him; just like in Yahoo. If it makes you happy, though, I'll put the Big Schill on there instead.
Just giving you a hard time man, it doesn't make a difference this time since you've got another injury to fill the space. Just commented because I saw you snagging all the free agent SPs and decided to take a peak at your roster. I didn't know that the IR rules were that lax, I guess I've been overdiligent keeping up with my own injuries.
fade, could you update the pitching games used? I wanna see if Phi has enough games left for all those pitchers he threw against me. I need every break I can get at this point to even smell the playoffs
I've been at the GF's place all weekend for the holiday, so I've been away from my computer with the pitching info spreadsheet. I'll get everything straightened out by tonight or tomorrow at the very latest.
Game limits are 155 SP games and 130 RP games. Pitching Games Used (through Game 43) Rook: 139 SP, 123 RP Finn: 143 SP, 130 RP Jent: 141 SP, 129 RP DHor: 136 SP, 117 RP SamC: 142 SP, 120 RP Fade: 145 SP, 125 RP -PSJ: 147 SP, 125 RP Smeg: 135 SP, 130 RP LHFn: 148 SP, 126 RP Cast: 142 SP, 107 RP Here is the update. It looks like PSJ does indeed have enough games left. Too bad -- I was hoping you would beat him this week to help secure my division lead. Doesn't look like that is going to happen. The only major note at this point is that jent only has one RP game left and thus, should run out this week. After the first one is recorded, all subsequent RP entries will be stricken from the record.

Playoff teams are almost set. After looking at the numbers, the Aliens, PSJ and Expos are pretty much guaranteed playoff spots at this point. Basically it comes down to this: if Rook wins and jent loses, then Rook is in and jent is out. If anything else happens, then jent is in and Rook is out. Crunch time for you guys! Good luck.
I'm playing spoiler this weekend. Can I get this lineup, Fade? 1B-Fielder,Prince, MIL 3B-Atkins,Garrett, COL SS-Cabrera,Orlando, ANA C-Lopez,Javy, BOS OF-Francoeur,Jeff, ATL OF-Beltran,Carlos, NYM OF-Burrell,Pat, PHI OF-Wells,Vernon, TOR SP-Washburn,Jarrod, SEA SP-Mussina,Mike, NYY SP-Zito,Barry, OAK SP-Myers,Brett, PHI SP-Peavy,Jake, SD RP-Nathan,Joe, MIN UI-Lee,Derrek, CHC
Me too: 1B-Ortiz,David, BOS 2B-Sanchez,Freddy, PIT 3B-Lowell,Mike, BOS SS-Young,Michael, TEX C-Kendall,Jason, OAK OF-Kearns,Austin, WAS OF-Drew,J.D., LA OF-Berkman,Lance, HOU OF-Soriano,Alfonso, WAS SP-Olsen,Scott, FLA SP-Marquis,Jason, STL SP-Wang,Chien Ming, NYY SP-Lidle,Cory, NYY RP-Hensley,Clay, SD RP-Ryan,B.J., TOR UI-Howard,Ryan, PHI
Talk about bad luck. My best hitter (Hafner) and pitcher (Clemens) join Barrett and Isringhausen and Liriano on the injured list.
Spoiler??????? To be completely honest, I am going to end up with as many wins as others that make the playoffs, and by far my team doesn't even deserve to be in contention. So, hopefully Jent takes care of business and officialy eliminates me by winning this week........not to say that I wouldn't want to be in the playoffs to hopefully knock off Fade, but I have to call it like it is - and my team does not belong there.... I need to go back to the drawing board and re-group for next year...
It's all wrapped up, folks. Here are the playoff matchups: The Aliens (Div. Winner) vs. Jent`s Llamas (Wildcard) Expos Forever (Div. Winner) vs. PhiSlammaJamma (Wildcard) Semi-finals will be comprised of two game periods: Sept 11-14 and Sept 15-17, which will be added together to determine which teams advance. The Finals (World Series) will consist of four game periods: Sept 18-21, Sept 22-24, Sept 25-28 and Sept 29-Oct 1. The scores for these four periods will be added together to determine the champion. There are no pitching game limits in the playoffs. Each team will start 5 SP and 2 RP for each period. Set your lineups as usual before each Monday and Friday. Remember, you are allowed to set an entirely new lineup mid-week if you so choose. Good luck to all!
My lineup for game 1 of the playoffs (Baek is a SP, not a RP): 1B-Helton,Todd, COL 2B-Roberts,Brian, BAL 3B-Aurilia,Rich,CIN SS-Furcal,Rafael,LA C-Martin,Russell, LA OF-Cuddyer,Michael, MIN OF-Jones,Andruw, ATL OF-Bay,Jason, PIT OF-Alou,Moises,SF UI-Thomas,Frank, OAK SP-Sanchez,Anibal, FLA SP-Liriano,Francisco, MIN SP-Contreras,Jose A., CWS SP-Haren,Dan, OAK SP-Baek,Cha Seung, SEA RP-Stanton,Mike, SF RP-Hoffman,Trevor, SD
Fade, What was the wildcard tiebreaker? I'm assuming it was overall points and not head to head matchups?.? Not a big deal, but curious. Thanks.
Whew, Jent put a scare into me that last day. And now, the championship series. Expos vs. Aliens. May the best team win.
Well, you won the first round, Sam. Quite handily, I might add. Didn't count on Halladay going down with an injury, but I can't say I'm surprised. All my other stars got hurt at some point. I guess it was his turn. The baseball gods had it in for me this year. My team is such a tease. Just good enough to squeak into the finals and get my hopes up again after I had pretty much given up. Not nearly good enough to win it all. I shouldn't have even gotten past Phi. Luckily, there are 3 more game periods for a miracle to occur. You should get a big boost with the return of Sheffield, though. Oh well. At least I beat Finn and Rook. That's the most important thing.
