Also, two members of my Hacking Mass team played on my Fantasy Team this year. That's a bad sign.

harder to draft a HM team w/ Dusty Baker no longer making out lineups

p satisfied with my provisional picks, but waiting to see how this week's pitching goes before I commit.

No more framed Bud Selig photos as prizes, no credibility.
I will still enter though, HM has been sorely missed.

I am really torn about a few selections, for reasons we can discuss after Friday night. At least one position is kinda short on obviously bad players who will play a lot.

presenting THE WILLS TO WIN! I was really torn about picking Arencibia, but decided not to, bcz surely Texas will not be stupid enough to give him 250+ PA even with the Soto injury, right? Yeah, no idea why I didn't remember it's Texas. Lost several points last night due to Popeye Uggla's 2 HR, which can't happen every night.
Also tempted to take 2 Twins pitchers, but I hadda get a Rockie in there.

my team: The Whostown Lastros

I have zoomed into the top 10 thanks to Star of the Day Mike Pelfrey, but he needs to have a couple mediocre outings or even the Twins will release him by Fathers Day.
Arencibia is at an .071 BA and plunging, but he drove in two runs with ground balls yesterday, so yeah, Texas will probably platoon him all fucking year.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Friday, 18 April 2014 14:14 (ten years ago) link
Texas signed him despite his historically bad OBP, so I figured it's unlikely that they'll have that "AHA Arencibia sucks!" moment anytime soon.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 18 April 2014 20:43 (ten years ago) link
But they didn't expect to be missing G Soto for 3 months....
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Friday, 18 April 2014 20:47 (ten years ago) link
Alcides Escobar has hit .395/.413/.674 in his last 46 plate appearances.... regression anticipation
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Monday, 21 April 2014 13:19 (ten years ago) link
My team is in free fall, not sure what I can do other than wait for Moutsakas and Escobar to stop hitting.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:00 (ten years ago) link
ungood free fall or reverse bad free fall?

what do you think?
9-point gain last night! a record for me and I have Pelfrey going today.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 1 May 2014 12:20 (ten years ago) link
up another 13 today (10 of em from Pelfrey), tied for 41st.

he was a p popular CF pick, after BJ I think

It's funny to see most of the teams near the top losing points yesterday, since Alcides Escobar and Yonder Alonso had 4 hits and a homer between them.
really kicking myself for not picking Nate Schierholtz
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 May 2014 14:26 (ten years ago) link
Robbie Grossman is back up! Getting hits so far, alas.
Why the fuck did I pick De La Rosa? Did I think he'd be bad or something? He needs to pitch only at Coors.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 May 2014 00:00 (ten years ago) link
At last, De La Rosa got knocked around and my hitters sucked! Up 12 points in a day. (just discovered Reddick was DL'd tho)

collected 24 pts on Wednesday (17 from De La Rosa), a personal record. Now tied for 13th; I'd be sitting pretty if I'd only taken Zack Cozart and Jose Molina.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 June 2014 13:44 (ten years ago) link
I'm up to 84th after picking up 102 points in the past month. Morbs' team still looks solid at #29.
