QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) Sale's Cy is going to have to wait for another year. I would still give it to him. He leads Kluber in fWAR by a full win.

I went and test-drove a Chevy Volt with my aunt last week. Car was very slick and I liked it a lot, but she decided it was a bit out of her price range, and the idea of plugging a car in (even though it's optional) somehow scares her and gives her anxiety. We are going to test-drive an Hyundai Ioniq tomorrow. I assume the Hybrid version, since she wants to avoid a plug.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 12:32 AM) For anyone else who's still confused by flavum's Elimination Number shindig... 2.5 GB of the Giants for the 1st 2 GB of Detroit for the 2nd pick 2 GB of the Phillies for the 3rd pick GET OFF MY SYSTEM, BRO. Sox lose, Reds lose, Phillies win, Giants win, Tigers lose (They are 2-18 in September against non-Sox opponents. I f***ing hate them) Reds are 1.5 GB of us with the 5th pick Sox pick 4th 2 GB of Detroit for the 3rd pick 2 GB of the Phillies for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Giants for the 1st pick 5 games left for the Sox.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 08:57 AM) I got duped into drafting Lamar Miller as well. Thought the rookie QB would check down to him more, but nah. Hope I can get Chris Thompson off the waiver wire. Miller and Decker have been my biggest disappointments so far. Although I havent even started Decker yet.

Finally got my 1st win. Finished 2nd in points this week thanks to Larry Fitzgerald and Antonio having big games. The Diggs/Howard trade will go through tomorrow. Had we actually made the trade official when we agreed, and I played them in my lineup this weekend, I would have scored 174 on ESPN scoring, which would have probably been the highest score our league of 5 years has ever had. I'm pretty excited about my team. Lamar Miller and Gillislee will get bumped to my bench. That's pretty impressive for a 12-team league, methinks.

And the slide continues..... these asshats have a REAL chance at ending up with the 5th pick, although I'm still optimistic we can get back to #3. Sox win, Phillies lose, Giants win, Tigers somehow don't lose but only because they didn't play Reds are 1.5 GB of us with the 5th pick Sox pick 4th 2 GB of Detroit for the 3rd pick 2.5 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick 3 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick 6 games left for the Sox.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 05:42 AM) I feel so honored Psshhhhh, I start this thread for about 4 years in a row, then this year someone gets the jump on me and wins the coveted title. SUCH DISRESPECT!

Trade I was offered in my league..... Jordan Howard for Alshon Jeffrey. I denied the trade, but countered with.... Howard and Stefon Diggs for Jeffrey and Blount. He countered with .... Jordan Howard and Stefon Diggs for Alshon Jeffrey and Chris Johnson.

So the Sox now have sole possession of the #2 pick, and by the end of Friday, could have be leaders for the #1 draft pick for 2018. :wub:

Phillies won, Giants won, Sox lost, Detroit lost 2 game lead on Detroit for the 3rd pick 0.5 game lead on the Phillies for the 2nd pick (Phillies own tie breaker) 1 GB of the Giants for the 1st pick 11 games left for the Sox.

Phillies won, Detroit lost 2 game lead on Detroit for the 3rd pick 2 GB of the Phillies for the 2nd pick 3 GB of the Giants for the 1st pick 13 games left for the Sox.

Wait....people are actually debating that that pitch was a ball?? I'm not terribly surprised it was called a ball given how terribly that Contreras received it, but it was most certainly a strike right down the middle. Just goes to show how much pitch framing, both positively and negatively, can affect an umpire's judgement.

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Sep 18, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) Shows what a crap shoot it is. I mean that guy couldn't get past Birmingham. I laughed.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 18, 2017 -> 01:44 AM) Can we just go 0-13 and end this year right? I'm not even sure the Giants would would win more than 2 games. They are unreal bad.

Sox and Phillies lost, Giants and Tigers won. 2.5 game lead on Detroit for the 3rd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 2nd pick 3 GB of the Giants for the 1st pick 13 games left for the Sox.

Welp, I'm 0-2. Thanks Elliott and Antonio Brown for the combined 11.5 points.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 05:35 AM) Only 2 ahead of the Phils. Right, but Phillies own the tie-breaker, so we need to actually end up 0.5 games better than the Phillies, which obviously can't happen because everyone will (or should) play 162. So 2.5 GB is really 3 GB in the end.

Giants lose, Sox and Phillies win. 2.5 GB of Giants for 2nd pick 2.5 GB of Phillies for 1st pick

I hope Kelenic rakes so we can take him #3, and Beer sucks, so we can grab him the 2nd RD.

Sox lose, Giants lose, Phillies win. 1.5 GB of Giants for 2nd pick 2.5 GB of Phillies for 1st pick
