All-Time Franchise Baseball Tournament: RED SOX WIN IT ALL!

[Kaius]

I look like such a moron when posting on my phone. Me try English but me not well with it.

[Lament]

I've been so wary about trying people out of position. It almost always seems to work out poorly.

[Kaius]

Pujols has 1 throwing error at 3rd, but having his bat in the lineup is well worth that.

[Lament]

I need to go back during the All-Star break and add errors and stolen bases to my stat sheet.

I'm gonna try to put together a top 10 leaderboard if enough people have up-to-date stats at that point.

[Kaius]

[Lament]

Tip O'Neill is all like "Man, I'm having a great season!" and then Hornsby looks at him and says "Eh, you're doing ok. I mean, I guess."

[Lament]

Let me know if these are wrong.

NOTE: All pitching staffs are reset after the All-Star break. On day sixteen I will go back to the first pitcher in your current rotation unless you ask me not to.

[Lament]

Once again, so close to Clemens vs. Clemens.

[Lament]

I think I'll be replacing Mostil in the starting lineup with Minoso against the Tigers.

[Lament]

Day fifteen has been run.


In the words of Jon Bon Jovi, "We're halfway there."

[philpritchard]

Damn. I was considering adjusting my rotation to get the Clemens vs. Clemens start.

[EJ]

Lament: just a head's up, I'll be adjusting a few things before the second half of the season begins.

[@SkitchP]

mccutchen doesnt belong on the all star team.

[EJ]

mccutchen doesnt belong on the all star team.

Yeah, I'm not sure he should now either. His numbers tailed off a lot since midweek. And, Clemente's increased a lot. But, not sure if need another RF.

Raines should be the starting CF.

[@SkitchP]

fuck it. hes not on Jorges list but im taking my support from McCutchen and giving it to Face.

[@SkitchP]

someone go wake up Lament.

[@SkitchP]

guys. I think we need to discuss the possibility that Lament isn't coming back.

[Kaius]

That would be pretty devastating.

[@SkitchP]

BREAKING: Jorge killed lament.
