Thursday Early Game = Phillies please

[swerb]

Field goes 5-9, which included losses from both Pipe and Peeks, the top two in the standings.

And man is this thing wide open. Pipe at 19-7, five other participants already at 20 wins. Eight players still alive with just five days left.

That's all you're getting from me on a morning after a loss like that. Nothing worse than early mornings after bad losses.

Cardinals for Thursday
Nationals for Friday
Phillies for Saturday

That's it for me, let's see if I can stay above .500.

[peeker643]

Son of a bitching, cork smoking whore. You know, when I won 13 in a row or whatever it was it was all tremendous picks by me. Now, when I lose two in a row it's clearly just horrible luck

But seriously, how do the Angels, a -180 against Chris Jakubauskas, not sniff a run off that guy? 1-0?? To Chris Jakubauskas?? Who lowered his ERA to 6.15 WITH that effort.

Farging icehole. I got the Angels good enough to forsake the Pirates. Winners of three straight. And now I can literally see what's about to happen as I make the Pirates my pick against some Triple A hump that Washington is bringing up. Because 4 game sweeps are so common and as if the Pirates are that good anyway.

That completes today's meltdown. Thank You.

Pirates on May 21st

White Sox on Sunday, May 24.

Bill Henry can win Phase I if he gets a win with the A's. Should he lose, we will have a several player tiebreak, with Henry, the Fight Dr, Mr Burns, and Swerb already assured a spot. Peeks and Pipe can also get into the tiebreak with a Henry loss, and wins with the White Sox and Indians respectively.
