Official (although really more than) halfway point...and Sluggo and I are making the rest of you look foolish.

Meh. You keep going on about there being a million good free agents, and there really aren't. There's no one (or combination of players) out there that can actually raise my hitting stats to any proper, respectable degree.

Obviously drafting for pitching was a mistake. :p (in this league, anyway)

Well maybe that's because I've grabbed a bunch of them?

Buster Posey
David Ortiz
Casey McGehee
Brennan Boesch
Martin Prado
Jason Heyward

Not to mention pitchers.

Stephen Strasburg
Mat Latos
John Rauch
Octavio Dotel
David Price

I know you keep complaining about your hitting, but did you happen to notice you're only 7th in ERA and tied for 8th in WHIP?

Honestly, I see free agents that can help in you in all sorts of ways.

I claim injuries as my excuse as to why I'm so far behind.

So the Home Run Derby (which I can't even watch anymore, seeing as how I can't stand Berman) featured an David Ortiz/Hanley Ramirez finale.  I have both guys on my team.

Is it wrong that I'm worried about the Derby 2nd half curse?

I'm no fan of Berman either, but to be fair, he only said 'backbackbackbackback' maybe half a dozen times, and 'Junior Griffey' maybe 3 or 4 times. :p

The nickname thing is what I really don't like. He uses these nicknames and says them over and over and over again despite the fact that he's the only guy on the planet that uses them. It's not working, Berman!

I feel the same way about him as I do/did about Dick Vitale and John Madden.  For a while, I enjoyed the schtick.  But that was a long, long time ago.

Hey, so forget the pitchers I keep trying to sell you on.  How 'bout an OF?

Man, I second that!  I can't stand the guy.  All that back back back back shit and those jackass nicknames he gives everyone.  Berman is all about Berman.

I watched the derby last night - for a while.  I gave up when Berman did his way over the top call for one of the home runs - dude, we get it, it's a home run, that's what they're here to hit - they're being served up meatballs specifically so they can hit them really far, for charity - let up on the espresso. 

Anyway, this particular HR went deep into left field and he said something along the lines of "that one is waaaaay out of here, it's going all the way to San Juan Capistrano!!".

Really Chris? - it's going to circumnavigate the planet until it ends up in a city south of the ball park?!!

As far as your curse is concerned.  I don't know how much faith I put in it. Some guys opt out saying it jacks their swing for the real games afterwards, but that seems to be the exception, not the rule.

At least he's still on your team - I have the power to trade him to my team for you if I so choose to abuse it ;-)
