Scheduled game four match ups...

Oswalt vs. Cueto
Hampton vs. Mussina
Sabathia (?) vs. Johnson
Jimenez vs. Hentgen (?)

Are these right? Anyone want to start someone else?

Tough call for me... I really have a handful of guys I could start in the 3-4-5 spots. I'm gonna go with Sheets.

As did I. It'll be interesting to see where Max ends up next year. I think the team that gives him 100 mill plus regret that. Hope I'm wrong nothing against the guy.

I'm gonna keep my lineup the same for game four, but if I fall behind 3-1, I'm turning things upside down.

I'm giving Player of the Game to Mark Prior for earning the W by throwing a quality start while one-upping Dontrelle Willis by smacking a solo HR and hitting a RBI double.
Wow. I forgot Prior could hit a little. He hit .250 in 2003. Hell, that is better than Alex Gonzalez.

I'm too lazy to look but did anyone draft Derrek Lee? Looking back at old stats and his 2005 was stellar.

46 HR, won a gold glove, batting title and led the league in slugging, OPS, hits and doubles...7.7 WAR as well

The winner of the contest should get something. Like a trophy or like a pennant of their favorite team or something? Just an idea. Kidding about the trophy.
