I just got Scherzer'd. SERVES ME RIGHT.

On a side note, I did notice that a certain Andy Dirks was picked up by a certain wonk during a certain series being played in Oakland.


I didn't have time to respond to this earlier, but I'll fbelt sander you. Without giving away too much strategy from years' past, it used to be a popular add when a pitcher from a team with a high octane offense was facing the pedestrian hitting A's. You should get a win either way, and if he's a K pitcher, you'll do good in that category as well. Many smart owners would add someone like Scherzerzer, take their win and Ks, then drop him the next day. That is why I called you out.

Upon further review, you picked up Scherzerzer because you wanted to keep him, as evident that you started him today (burn). My shit talking legitimacy dropped a couple points then. I still think if you wanted Scherzerer for the long haul, you should have picked him up after he faced the A's. It's not like you were competing with anyone else who wanted him? The only reason his add total was so high is because he was facing the A's.

As for Dirks, I was competing with others who wanted him. I picked him up when he was owned in about 15 per cent of leagues, and by the time he finished playing the A's, he was owned in over 40% of leagues. Someone else in this league would have picked him up had I not already. Hitters are different than pitchers, I can root for Dirks to get a two out single against my team, then have the inning end the next batter. You were rooting for Scherzerer to dominate, yet still lose 1-0. Even if this doesn't make sense, you are not allowed to pick up a pitcher playing against your favorite team unless it is a diamond in the rough. Scherzerer wasn't, as evident by you trying to play him another game, getting burned, and dropping him.

And for anyone else who thinks this strategy of adding Scherzerer when he plays a shitty offense, usually that shitty offense blows up and scores 12, so it's a risk either way.

Not much of one... You tried to pawn off Frank Francisco with Sean Marshall and someone else for Papelbon, Rafael Soriano and Westbrook.

My, "I offered you a trade?" was a joke about being drunk when offering trades. You obviously didn't get the humor because you tried to spin my offer as me offering you my bags of shit for your studs. You can't read the future, so stop trying to act like you knew Robertson would get hurt (giving Soriano the closer job) and Francisco would give up 34 earned runs last weekend making him nearly worthless.

So here's my spin, and actually what happened:

Wonk receives:
Jon Papelbon (bad-ass closer)
Westbrook (a waste of space on any roster, I would have dropped him the next day).
Soriano (was owned by 4% of leagues, was worthless since Robertson was named the closer)

Stamper receives:
Jonathan Broxton (had one of the most dominant seasons by any closer in 2009 before getting hurt, and has converted his last seven chances without giving up a run)
Sean Marshall (check his stats the last two years, dude is an excellent relief pitcher who hasn't had a lot of closing chances this year due to bad luck. Predicting save chances is impossible. I drafted him way before other closer options, because he is a stud).
Frank Francisco (ultimate hit or miss closer, he had converted four in a row when I offered the trade, and since we've already discussed how no one can predict the future, he can still end up with 30 saves this year after he gave up 34 runs last weekend).

So why was that offer such a travesty that you decided to make it public? I was offering you 100 saves in return for 30.

The funniest part about this is you have criticized my trading agenda twice now, yet you were the guy who took over your girlfriend's team last year, and started trading with yourself. Busted.

Fuck. I just got Lance Berkman back from the DL and watched him aggravate his injury and be helped off the field.

I've lost my 5th, 8th, 9th 10th, and 15th round draft picks to the DL for extended periods of time. For those scoring at home, that's Pablo Sandoval, Lance Berkman, Jayson Werth, Kevin Youkilis, and Coco Crisp. I am beginning to understand why my offense sucks so much.

I had a pretty solid week! Drafting Mike Trout was probably the best movie I've made all season.


(Watch, he's now going to go for an 0-24 and then break his leg while tripping over Pujols in the dugout)
