I was honestly considering the White Sox but now am kicking myself. Last night we got raped by the Umps. A strike right down the pipe not called because the lame fuck forgot to call balls and strikes when a guy bluffed a steal and Matt Wieters stood up to throw. Cost us the game as next EXTRA pitch to the guy that the umps allowed was a hit and a run. Only solution is to go out and beat Chris Sale today. Not easy. But with our scary lineup at Camden, its possible. Baltimore will score a ton of runs as the White Sox are fading out. Can you believe they lead the bigs in bullpen? ERA? Dangerous club are the White Sox. Seattle seems to be a bust and Cruz will rot there. The Yankee fans are screaming mad. But who do they blame? The Mets are definitely better than the Yankees right now. Go O's!!!! Carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 ^^ Rick, the "Wild Card" picks are not in the equation as far as the scores go--I think if there's anything killing you, it's that you had the Angels & Dodgers winning their respective divisions....

(Probably about 2 days ) Thanks paul, for doing this. You had me confused. You mean YOU and not the Orioles will revel in first place status? I was going to say, I hope you have more faith in our Orioles than that. The answer to our starting rotation problems is right there in front of us. DYLAN BUNDY. This kid has a monster of an arm and the calmness of a seasoned veteran. What a performance yesterday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Paul, look at tomorrow's pitching matchup in your series. Two monsters. Hill pitched another gem for Oakland. I am hoping that the Orioles can somehow make a trade for him. He was on the list but I just cant see Oakland trading him even as sellers. He is just too valuable. But if they do, I would give them a package. Hill is number one on my wish list. Then maybe Shoemaker of the Angels? But not sure. Many other possibilities. But my number one wish other than Hill is to see them start Bundy. I voted for Kinsler as the AL add on and Story for the NL. It was a tough call between Story and Lamb. Lamb is also deserving. Our boy Chris Davis is not on because of his strike outs. But his numbers for RBI's and HRs are always tough to ignore. I think Jonathan Schoop is one very underated player. And if Hardy was healthy he would be on my list too. They are a great one two punch as an infield duo along with the great Manny Machado. To me Machado is easily the best infielder in the game today. I just cant say how impressed I am with the Dodgers bullpen and the management of it. They just come at you in droves with one guy each inning with ERA numbers that are numbing. The best overall bullpen in baseball, period. The Dodgers are one dangerous team. Do not count them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Thank you Paul for keeping this updated. I'd almost forgotten that August was here already.... You know, it's probably a sign of the apocalypse that I am in 2nd in this contest. I don't believe I've finished higher than 5th, ever. Of course there's still 2 months to fall to pieces!

I will concede a loss this season for my picks. What I will not concede is the Saint Louis Cardinals not making it to a Wild Card position and possibly all the way to another run at the World Series. I hate to say this to you but I am rooting for any team that your Mets play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few that I would do over are mostly in the AL. I knew that the Angels were bogus and let my heart override my head and picked them instead of the Os for the Wild Card. I should have stayed with the safe pick in the AL West: Texas instead of those upstarts in Houston. David Price as Cy Young was also a reach. But in the NL, the only pick I would change is having more faith in Chicago and picking them for the NL Central and moving St. Louis to the Wild Card. Great job Paul, as usual. Only a couple months to go and you can rest, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
