[Lament]

I picked up Danny Jackson. He'll be entering my rotation as my #4 starter.

[Lament]

Going with a four man pen of Eckersley, Rivera, Gagne, and Wagner (3-0, 10/13 saves, 3.01 ERA combined) is either gonna be my best move yet or a total disaster. If WhatIf sticks to going through all four of those guys before resorting to calling on one of my starters out of the pen, this just might work. If WhatIf regularly brings Buehrle or Schmidt out of the pen...it could be bad.

[Kaius]

I'll take Willie McGee

[Lament]

I heard that chud told people your failure to return for this tournament means that he ultimately is the winner of the chud-Kaius rivalry.

[philpritchard]

The 8-year-old part of me wants to adjust my rotation to get a Brown-Colon matchup.

[Norah]

Lament if you haven't run Day 18 yet I want to change my rotation. I'm going with a four man

Halladay
Ryan
Higuera
Peavy

Looks like chud put an end to that.

[Kaius]

I was under the impression that you guys were all playing for a crack at the Garainals in a 7-game series...

[Lament]

So for some reason I didn't even think to check if WhatIf changed my starting lineup when I added Jackson. I hope Darren Daulton and Robin Ventura enjoyed their token starts.

[Norah]

Adjusted my lineup for Day 19. Utley's benched, Ozzie Smith playing 2B.

[Lament]

Is Ozzie's promotion a nod to your vanquished WhatIf rival Kaius?

[Norah]

No it's just a fuck you to Chase Utley.
