Buehrle>Wood

Actually an exciting game I guess, but still...

Why is Mets vs Nats Sunday Night Baseball? Zzzzzz

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 01:35 AM) Seems like a normal 10 teimprovementeague team to me. Then he got steals with high round picks like Ridley and Sproles later on. A+ team if you can improve at TE.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) PPR League QB - Cam Newton RB - Jamaal Charles RB - Darren Sproles WR -A.J. Green WR - Jordy Nelson Flex - Stevan Ridley K - Phil Dawson TE - Jared Cook D - Broncos Bench: RGIII, Luck, Roy Helu, Chris Givens, T.Y. Hilton, Sidney Rice, Kendall Wright. 6 team league?

lol at garcias base running

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 06:38 PM) FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports the Pirates have acquired Justin Morneau from the Twins for Alex Presley. How does he fall to Pittsburgh?

Nice get. Get Starks a waiver and then one of Alexander or Snider please.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 07:16 AM) He already said no to Notre Dame. So does everyone.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 04:10 AM) I can't even imagine what kind of bulls*** coach would be willing to coach the Illini now I just don't see any evidence that this guy knows how to coach, though. Hard to feel good about the future of Illini football at this point I would like Monken but hard to sell that hire when he wins one game this year. After that I dont know. Have to reach on a coordinator. Bring back Koenning.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) Did they never fix the BTN feed in the city? I live next to OHare in the burbs and had the Illinois game from the start. I'm in the SW burbs. Missed first three quarters at least. Stopped trying after that.

I missed the game thanks to the btns s***tiness. But Beckman needed to go after last year. It was perfectly clear he was in over his head. We really got another sideline interference call? Lololol

Illinois seriously got bumped off tv in Chicago for Wisconsin? hahhahah

Can't remember being less hyped for a Illinois football opener.

QUOTE (TRU @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 02:53 AM) Im not surprised with your mediocre WR core because you clearly took 3 RBs really early. But man, Alex Smith throws the the middle of the field or to RBs. That's why Crabtree didn't explode until Kaepernick took over. I dont think Dwayne Bowe has anything close to a WR1 fantasy year. Stafford throws too many damn interceptions and hes way more likely to throw 25-30 TDs than 40+, I do like him though in a 6pt TD league. Gotta get one of those high volume guys. Lesean McCoy and MJD are guys that I am just not high on. MJD is run down and McCoy had one year where he scored 17 TDs but he only rushed for 1300 yards. If it wasn't for that anomaly TD number hes no different than Frank Gore or present Chris Johnson and those guys aren't coveted fantasy RBs. This is about a C- draft IMO, might be worse if this league isn't PPR. It's an F for draft Mathews 3rd.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 12:52 AM) He still threw 90+ pitches. And it's not like he piled up te innings in April/May either. Well he wasn't prepped or stretched out to be a starter so don't think that could be good.

Need some advice week 1. Need 1 Flex and 1 WR to fill. RB Frank Gore (GB) RB Gio Bernard (@Chi) RB DeAngelo Williams (vs. Sea) RB Rashard Mendenhall (@ StL) RB Vic Ballard (@ Oak) WR Stevie Johnson (NE) WR Lance Moore (Atl) WR Chris Givens (Ari) TE Zach Sudfeld (@Buf) It's PPR. I think Gore is the obvious flex play but everyone is so down on him this year. Sudfeld and Bernard are tempting options. The WR spot is what I'm really struggling with. I have no idea. I wish I could play Sudfeld there. Johnson is the best but jesus they have the worst QB situation just about ever.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 12:26 AM) yeah, it's quite obvious that Stone and Hawk despise De Aza right now. It will be interesting if they move him to LF or if they trade him. LF- De Aza, CF- Ellsbury, RF- Garcia would cover a lot of ground.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) So you really don't think there's a chance the Sox trade Santiago to try and get a MLB-ready corner infielder or catcher? Given the depth of the starting pitching staff, that would seem like one of the most efficient ways of improving the talent on the roster. You know I like Santiago as much as you do, but it's likely his value will never be higher. If the Sox truly don't believe he has what it takes to be a quality starter, then it could be time to try and see what you can get for him. I think if you trade someone, you trade Q of the two then. You could and should at least get equal value (that being very high) for him. With Santiago you are potentially selling low on him. I say it's impossible to value him right now due to the Sox mishandling of his career thus far. But no, I don't think you trade either. Given the death of Gavin Floyd, the uncertainty of John Danks, rookies who may not pan out, and the trading of Jake Peavy, our pitching depth gets GROSSLY overstated on this board. Yes, our pitching is a strength as we speak, but it's only that because Q and Hector are there. Take one of them out and all the sudden you have question marks. You can't just take out 3 decent to great major league starters in a year's time and still claim to have depth. It will catch up eventually. There are other ways to improve the offense, and we have the resources to do so. That is the path we should take.

I just get tired of every thread with the same horrible ideas. It's in my forever lasting quest to improve PHT, which I've indisputably done this year with my hot topics and total crushing of the catch-all thread. I think I'm going to run for mod.

Really, delete that thread? Lame mods.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:50 PM) /guywhodidntdraftmathewsinthethirdround God damn, was literally just going to make this post.

Ryan Mathews is f***ing horrible. Bad bad bad bad.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:13 AM) Do notmbps d Fresno f*** with a pregnant women, especially after they play a softball playoff game. For those keeping track, Rutgers is recruiting like mad men prior to joining the big ten. Good 2014 class. If it weren't for a couple boneheaded mistakes they'd be cruising right now. And Fresno is "ranked" around 30th or so.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 06:02 AM) My boy taylor graham looks horrible, but so do his skill players. Ole Miss has an expensive roster but 2 cent coach. They are average. Krush if this game sucks there is always game 7 hawks vs wings on channel 234 Rutgers vs Fresno on. Two decent teams.

Ole Miss Vandy this is one of the best games ever. Holy god.
