My team is solid, I played explosivo all the way down to the wire and I havent lost the lead to 2ndIInone for this whole week. But his team has gotten hot for the last 2 days. badblood 04-16-2006, 02:37 PM I'm 0-8 to start the day and 2ndIInone has taken the lead for the first time all week 9-6. It doesnt help much when 2 of my starters are on the bench eaither. :mad: badblood 04-16-2006, 03:16 PM 2ndIInone is pulling off an amazing comeback and has taken a comanding lead 10-5. 2nd II none 04-16-2006, 04:23 PM I'm hanging on to a 7-6 lead.

The option for the league stat tracker is up up you. $10 is nothing and it gives me somthing to look at throughout the day/night. My game with explosvio was down to the wire and my game with you was down to the last day, I'm just looking for a break. 2nd II none 04-16-2006, 07:10 PM No breaks you only have like one player left with a game to play you lost. badblood 04-16-2006, 07:14 PM No breaks you only have like one player left with a game to play you lost. Break meaning a solid week and not 3 good days and 3 bad days.

Syd Barrett 05-02-2006, 08:57 PM It's too early to be trading your big name players everyone it's only may 2nd. Yeah, I can't help it though. Paplebon(sp) is the best closer in the game right now and I don't think it is a fluke. the guy was great when the sox brought him up for a cup of coffee last year. Also i think Crawford is somewhat overrated. i would have never selected him if I had gotten online in time for the start of the draft. Tejada was still on the board at the time and I would have definitely selected him over crawford. You fuckers got lucky. I missed out on the most important pick, my #1 and I still have a great team. If you added tejada to my team which should have beeen the case I would be unstoppable. 2nd II none 05-02-2006, 09:06 PM yeah missing the #1 is big but you do have a good squad.My team is starting to wake up now though people are in for a serious beating.

(AP) -- Tampa Bay prospect Delmon Young was suspended for 50 games without pay by the International League on Tuesday for throwing a bat that hit a replacement umpire in the chest. IL president Randy Mobley said he believed the suspension was the longest in the league's 123-year history. ADVERTISEMENT Young was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft and was chosen the 2005 minor league player of the year by Baseball America. His brother is Detroit Tigers star Dmitri Young. "The Tampa Bay Devil Rays fully support the decision," the team said in a statement. "As stated before, we do not tolerate this type of conduct from anyone in the Devil Rays' organization." The suspension is retroactive to April 27, the day after Young tossed his bat in a Triple-A game while playing for Durham. The 20-year-old outfielder has agreed to perform at least 50 hours of community service, and can play again June 19. Tampa Bay said it expected Young to resume training at its minor league complex this week. The IL issued an indefinite suspension following the bat-throwing in Pawtucket, R.I. The umpire, filling in for striking minor league umps, was not injured. "The goal in reviewing this very serious matter was to arrive at a fair and just action against Mr. Young," Mobley said. With the suspension "and the significant fine as a result of the loss of salary, I believe this has been accomplished." "Delmon was in agreement that community service would be part of the final action taken by the League," he said. "My hope is that this unfortunate incident can have a positive and life changing impact on Delmon's personal and professional life." Young was ejected in the first inning after taking a called third strike. He lingered in the batter's box, walked away and then threw his bat end over end at the umpire, hitting him in the chest. "I sincerely regret my actions in the game yesterday," Young said in a statement released the next day by the office of his agent, Arn Tellem. "Regrettably, in the heat of the competition my emotions got the better of me. "My behavior was completely unacceptable. I want everyone to know that I recognize that it is never right to throw a bat and I certainly never intended for the bat to make contact with the umpire. Nevertheless, I owe an apology to my team, the fans and most importantly to the umpire, for the incident. I am sorry." In Double-A ball last year, Young was suspended for three games by the Southern League for bumping the chest of plate umpire Jeff Latter. Regular minor league umpires are on strike this season. Fill-ins umps -- most of them with college or high school experience -- have been working in their place. Minor league teams are not releasing the names of the replacements. "It's an unfortunate incident and there should be no place for actions like that in the game of baseball," the umpire said in a statement released by Pawtucket. "Any official should not be treated like that. He embarrassed himself and his teammates." ive seen the video, he is completly out of the frame when the bat comes flying in.... nice pick gringo :D Syd Barrett 05-09-2006, 08:33 PM 50-100 games is fair.
