PS, thanks for the info Paul. I just joined the free and pay leagues. Going to draft tomorrow Edited March 21, 2021 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I pre ranked my players, joined the $5 league and will allow auto draft to kick in perhaps? Its always crazy joining these drafts with a bunch of wise guys and trolls. Talkin trash and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So much for pre ranking my players . I had to scramble to get the guys I wanted and participated in the live draft. Can you believe I got Bellinger at number 8? Still on the board. I like my lineup. I could not find Kremer, the young Orioles pitcher and was shocked he was apparently taken? No. I found him later and have put in a request to pick him up on waiver. I should have him. I have John Means, Giolito of the White Sox. I even took one Yankee, Severino. I have Correa at SS, Shoop at 2nd, two 3rd basemen. Kris Bryant of Cubs and Justin Turner of Dodgers. Have Comforto in OF, with Santander and Mountcastle of my Orioles. Posey is my catcher and I have Iglesias, the guy the Angels stole from my Orioles on my utility. Playing some damn fool named angry tick. He is going tot be even angrier when I am finished with his sorry ass lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 John Means and my O's are underdogs to the Bosox and that bum Eovoldi? OK Bring that shit on. I put my money down yesterday. My only fear is the damn forcast. 80% rain. Hopefully they will be able to play the game. Anyone from the Boston area let me know please if you hear a more accurate local forecast?

paul carruthers Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Mets/Nationals postponed due to Co-vid. Sort of puts a damper on the day, even though there's a good slate of games on the schedule... This is exactly why I didn't want to do a contest--too many headaches with co-vid cancellations....

paul carruthers Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 I wasn't sure what to expect, given some of the slop games from Opening Day, but this has been a great pitcher's duel in Boston. Not sure if I agree with Alex Cora pulling Eovaldi after 5 and 1.3 innings, but it's early... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me mad because MLB channel has been free the first few days for years. They must be desperate. I am not a bit surprised by John Means performance. I expect plenty more. And I expect Kremer to be good too. Go O's!!!!! Fly!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Co-vid cancels the entire Nats series scheduled for the weekend, no idea when those games will be rescheduled. Have to wait 'til Monday Night to get my Mets fix (hopefully)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Surprised to hear this. This vaccine is supposed to be slowing down things like this. They also canceled horse racing in Canada for a month, harness at Woodbine in Toronto. I wonder who and how many are actually infected? Speaking of your Mets, Harvey, an ex Met from my understanding is pitching for my Orioles today. I am a bit surprised Kremer is not going as the second in this 5 man rotation? Means is the ace no doubt. Great start. I believe Kremer will impress. Not sure about the other 3. Lopez is pretty good I believe? Maybe Esther can weigh in on this?

LedZeppfan1977 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 So the Orioles WIN AGAIN!!!!!! So why not start Kremer at Boston tomorrow instead of throwing him to the wolves at NY on Tuesday? I do not get this? He is certainly more talented than most on this rotation excluding John Means. What are you doing Hyde? Yes you are 2-0. We know how quickly things can go South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 With the Mets out of action, I have to find something to watch. Right now streaming a pretty good game between the Twins and Brewers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the O's play your division. I notice we play the Phillies only 3 times. In Philly and in September, when football will be going. Your ex Met Harvey started yesterday. Did not get the win but did well enough. I hope we sweep them today. Its not easy to sweep a team these days. I am looking forward to seeing how Kremer does at the Yankees on Tuesday. I still cant believe the Orioles let Iglesias get away. The Angels must have offered him a good number? So I am not sure if the Mets are infected or the Nats? I hope it does not get out of control. With the vaccine out and all over I am a bit surprised this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 ^^ I believe the reports were that the Nationals were the team that had players test positive--hopefully no trouble will come with our upcoming games against the Phillies. Can't believe the Phillies are putting the wood to the Braves, so far.... I had not looked at the entire Mets schedule, so I had no idea we're playing the AL East in interleague again. I think I'm looking forward to seeing the NL Central and West again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait to see the Houston Astros make their first appearance in Yankee stadium and LA? I doubt they play LA? Will check, but they are going to get booed like there is no tomorrow. I am surprised that Oakland has played so poorly in first two. I hope to leave Boston with a sweep but I know its tough. Have no clue what to expect from this Zimmerman. I also am surprised the Braves have not played better. Ill be shocked if Phillies sweep. Nick Markakis has retired. I wish the Orioles would suit him up for one game and have him retire as an Oriole. He will be remembered as a Baltimore Oriole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might go to a bar Tuesday because it’s Kremer vs Cole. I can get the full game highlights on YouTube. MLB are greedy blood sucking bastards. Every year they have first week free. Not now.

paul carruthers Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 I see the Phillies swept the Braves--maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Baseball's had some great moments since the strike shortened '94 season but my enthusiasm and interest in MLB pretty much died with that player's strike. I've probably seen at most three games since then, and two of those were merely for the sake of experiencing a games at Wrigley Field in Chicago and PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
