How embarassed would she be if it rolled toward the dugout? I can’t believe that it stayed on line towards the plate. How embarassed would she be if it rolled toward the dugout?

I am jealous, Scott. Jake Peavy is a True Ace. Jake Peavy was the one pitcher I most wanted to get in our draft. I am jealous, Scott. Jake Peavy is a True Ace.

I realized pretty quickly after the draft my pitching staff was simply awful, but this week really hammered it home. I used my first nine picks on hitters (C'mon, I couldn't pass on Jim Thome in the 8th in an TB and OBP league!) and then selected Rich Hill and AJ Burnett, then two closers, and had to leave to catch a flight and allowed Yahoo's auto-pick to select the rest of my squad. Over the next 8 picks the auto-select proceeded to take 3 backup middle infielders, a backup catcher, and a single closer. Lacking in quality arms,I tried streaming pitchers this week (Hammel, Wellemeyer, Jackson, Blanton, Kennedy) but it got me killed in all the ratios. And I was extremely lucky win the week with 2 saves; that'll never happen again! It was definitely time for a trade. It was really tough giving up that absolute stud David Wright, but I'm absolutely pumped to have Jake Peavy, and Lyon and Percival bring some badly needed save chances for me. As for this week, though, ugh. HOT: Um, Carlos Marmol had 8 Ks and a .75 WHIP, does that count? Joey Votto (although I just picked him up at the end of the week, I'm really pumped to have him. Here's some advice: if this guy isn't owned in your league, pick him up now.) COLD: Travis Hafner, AJ Burnett, and Carlos Gomez (keeping me competitive in SB but absolutely killing me in five other categories).
