Pirates, at 0.500, had a tough schedule this week with a 3-game slate against the Rockies and a game against the Phillies - top three teams in the Power Rankings. I was actually winning a couple days ago, but now I am down by a couple hundred in each matchup. I should be able to survive 4-4 this week, but it would have been nice to put my team on the map with some big wins.

Be thankful you ran into my Reds, and the Flu that is cutting through my clubhouse

Well the Yankees have multiple pitchers not show up this week. With that said were on pace for a 7-1 week, and only 200 points down from going 8-0, and here comes Miggy!
-
Brewers at 2nd in the league in total points after a horrible Pujols start and still no sign of Utley... where are the haters now? :toast:
** jinxes rest of season **

bad, bad week for me. We need Morneau, Dunn, Uggla and Prado to start hitting.

Padres have things looking up. Dillon Gee will be staying in NY, Wade Leblanc looked pretty good last night (not necessarily for our league) Karstens is 2-0, Kouzmanoff may be heating up and Aaford doesn't look terrible.

I think we can all agree it has been a strange few weeks. Agon, Crawford, Uggla, Hanley, all not hitting... Tulo, Braun, Berkman, Kemp all headed to 60 homers. Jack Hannahan has 3 homers. Jay Bruce can't buy a hit. Gordon Beckham is frozen. As is Carlos Santana. Alex Avila doing his best Joe Mauer impersonation. Kyle Lohse is an ace... I think we should all remember Chris Shelton, and this all somehow makes sense.

Classic example with Chris Shelton...
Beckham isn't a bonified MLB hitter yet coming off his doghouse season last year. Carlos Santana is a rookie... Just saying to temper expectations with those two players.

This is very true, young guys are to be taken with a grain of salt, until they are proven they can be consistent. Beckham for example has had two very good half seasons, and one horrible one. At this point in time, what does that make him. The same goes for several guys on my team. Prime example is Brett Gardner. But then again, players that have shown a long term decline such as Travis Hafner, Lance Berkman, etc are thriving despite the fact that many people thought they were done.
The problem is, early in the year, when a guy goes on a cold streak it is more apparent in his stats because of the small sample size. But, I also think that skills eventually win out over the long haul. And you can't fight the law of averages either. Carl Crawford could play in the grand canyon and not hit .200 for the year. Hanley Ramirez will not hit under the mendoza line for the year. Ryan Roberts will not be more valuable than Dan Uggla. The Twins will not have the flu the entire season. Just things you can hang your hat on.

agreed. A lot of it has to do with it being the beginning of the season and every owner is borderline "over" active (if that is possible haha). This leads them blowing a lot of things out of proportion simply because the are analyzing every little aspect because they have waited the whole off-season.

I think the 'long-term decline' for Berkman is a bit premature... Take another look at his stats - throw out last year and he's a perennial 900+ OPS guy. One bad (injured) season for an aging guy sure, but not a long-term decline just yet (and he looks pretty healthy right now).
