you and me both sucka

[NOMAAA 1696]

Well. Steve. Your pitching is maybe worse than mine. Game on. 

[NorthLoop 14205]

Wait... who you talking to? I have no idea who is who lol

[NOMAAA 1696]

Talking to you amigo. Keep that first place seat warm for me. 

[APMP 688]

The birth of my two children are probably the greatest moment of my life. So hey, I get it. But I think I have had 5 players go on the paternity list this year and miss games. What happened to players and their wives planning ahead so this kind of stuff happened in the off season? I'm fighting for my fantasy playoff life right now, damn it!

[NorthLoop 14205]

Or maybe get vaccinated in the off-season? Right Trea? Fuckin idiot.

this is why i only draft gay players.  takes some extra research, but pays off big in the end.

This is aging just fine. 

[NorthLoop 14205]

Yeah not good to shit talk my pitching staff. They've been pretty solid all year.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Started off slow this week. Wheeler was dealing today. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Pretty sure me and @Fawesome hitting is gonna come down to the last batter of the week

Was there a trade I missed?

HG killed my chances last week.

Now I'm just playing spoiler

[APMP 688]

This whole season has been a long new guy hazing ritual. My first four draft picks all have been disappointments or outright failures: Yelich, Bellinger, Rendon, Kershaw. It is a freaking miracle I might still end up .500 for the year.

[huge 3793]

Yeah well F Shane Beiber

we’ve been out for a while. still just at $1200 pot. 

[NorthLoop 14205]

Glad my offense decided to take two weeks off. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

my offense never even got going. at all. i haven't checked the league standings in ages, but if my team isn't breaking the record for lowest team average in league history then i don't even want to see the bums who did worse.

your batting avg and ops are higher than mine this week.

[NOMAAA 1696]

You might post a super high record of era this week too.

My favorite part of the competition. We'll keep an eye on the results.

[shadow_operative 15932]

[huge 3793]

Pay no mind, it's just new guy Mark Lotek weighing in on his favourite part of our competition.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Mark Lotek is a Golden Vegetable sponsor.  His gold and silver store has the best exchange rates.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

@shadow_operativeI fully intend to let Haniger know you traded for him but dropped him 

[shadow_operative 15932]

he was really bringing down team morale, so we had to let him go. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

@shadow_operativeI fully intend to let Haniger know you traded for him but dropped him 

He and the fans didn’t like that 

[NOMAAA 1696]
