You're right, the loss of Doumit isn't too bad and even better when you u consider Jaso's #'s. Hudson has pitched lights out his last 5-6 starts. I officially welcome Heath Bell to what has become a darn good bullpen.

Looks like a typo when you say my fielding is #1 when the grade is lower than the Brewers.  It's alright if you rank them higher than mine... I'll beat them in the World Series anyways.  8-)

Orioles are 2-5, not 1-6. :crazy:

[joeshmoe]

My very first win!  Feeding on the bottom teams...I love it!  Great run by the Royals never-the-less.

Yankees watch out!!! The Jays are on a roll  :toast:

[Bronx Bombers]

Angels are down by one with the Rangers and A's.  I expect this race to be tight all year long as I look to bring in more power!

20) :CHC: - (2-5) [C/C/C] - Swisher helps but now the Cubs are back to the catcher woes. (-1)

I expect to move up in the coming weeks.  Tough loss against the Dodgers, but team is just about set.  I'll be making some deals to bring in support at C and MI.  Thanks to pitching among all things, I am crushing the Rangers right now!
