[QUOTE=MF41590;246240]I know on yahoo you can replace managers mid-season. Is this feature available on cbssports?[/QUOTE]
I think it is, but not with the free game.

I'll take Pedroia off your hands. Heck, you can have my amazing second baseman Uggla straight up.
I know Pedroia sucks, but I have a soft spot for him...
p.s. You somehow managed to have an illegal roster this week.
It's last season all over again. Second most points...only one game out of the cellar...

p.s. As usual, the cyclones are getting lucky, with preferred match-ups.
Yes, I'm just whining and honestly if it was only points based it would not be nearly as fun. The random draw of a given week is something that adds a layer to the game you can't find in rotisserie.
I'll tough it out and I like the core of my team in the long haul.
I'm actually surprised that I'm ranked #3, was lower last season at this time. Will probably need a new catcher this week as I don't know how long Mauer will be out. This week's match up looks interesting!

You've got a strong squad.
[QUOTE=Insider;246667]Duh. Illegal roster. I'm slow today folks. I blame the heat. Haha[/QUOTE]
It sucks when that happens, but I've seen great, engaged fantasy owners do it practically every season I've played. You just need to roll up your sleeves and dig in next week. :D
The fantasy baseball Gods have it out for me this season...

Nothing like putting up 337 points and getting the L.

Ouch. At least your Red Sox about to finish off a sweep on the Yanks!
One thing that I hate about fantasy baseball is having to root for the players you love while they score against you.
Until I started the Vevmo leagues, I did NL only as all my friends are Red Sox/Yankee fans and we found cheering against our own players to beat each other distasteful. Thus, NL only. Skill wins. Allegiances aside.
That is why now, I try to acquire as many of "my" players as possible. It still sucks. This week, I was beat by Beckett. He made the difference. How can I be mad?
[B]Edit: [/B]I would have won if I did not sit my amazing lead leading closer for a weak two start pitcher. So I am thinking of firing the manager. Bring in new blood.

Luckily I don't have to worry about Cubs scoring against me, but in Fantasy Football, Basketball, and Hockey, I draft at least 2 Bears, Bulls, or Blackhawks players every year.
What I think is even worse is when a player who you hate because they are on a rival team is someone you should definitely pick up/draft or acquire in a trade. I had Aaron Rodgers in Fantasy Football last year, that was awful to deal with.

You might notice, that I have zero Yankees on my team. Probably not the smartest thing to do in a fantasy baseball draft, but I generally plan ahead so as to not have to take any of [I]those[/I] guys.
I sleep better at night because of it. :D

I keep hoping for a comeback.
Carlos Zambrano and Drew Brees are two athletes I will never lose faith in.

He wouldn't be at the top of my list as a straight RP or SP, but as an SP that has two starts in an RP slot - it is strategically wise to give him a go. He can still dig out of this week's hole and give you some bang for your buck.

Haha this is very cute. Congrats on ending my 5 week winning streak, your team kicked my team's a** this week. I get Josh Hamilton back this week but now Josh Johnson is on the d.l :(.

You know I am gunning for you! :wink2:
Right now, I do feel I have a Juggernaut in place. Only time will tell. I don't think my record reflects what is coming in the next couple months...

As usual, the cyclones have had the least points scored against which is why they've been able to put up a few W's. The top 3 scorers are all in the East (which is amazing being we really only have 4 teams and a [I]really[/I] dead one.)
I still really like my team. Longoria was hurt and has been in a slump lately, Howard has been colder than ice, and we all know about Crawford's early struggles. Once those three come around (which Crawford already is) I think my team will be a force.
