Ugh, Kirk, combined with the fact that my team cannot win every single week, it looks like I’m gonna go down this week…

Sarah – there’s just no excuse for having Eric Gagne on your team, none whatsoever,especially since you were a firsthand witness to the atrocities that were his outings with the Sox in the 2nd half of last season. NO EXCUSE, Ned.

I know, Lyndsay. It was a very sad state of affairs. I had tried to trade for a closer, but the people with good closers weren’t willing to give them up, and the people with extraneous, crappy closers wanted too much in return.

Nonetheless, I have now taken action. I dropped Gagne and picked up SF Giants closer Brian Wilson, who just cleared waivers after being dropped by Larry (croutchyoldman). One man’s trash, another woman’s treasure! Though Wilson pitches for the shittiest team in baseball and has stats that only a mother could love, he is still better than Eric Gagne. Welcome to the Green Sox, Brian.

Call me the yo-yo, but don’t call me, yo. My team has been stuck in a loss-win-loss-win pattern all season so far. (Does this bode well for Center Field Stud?) It feels good to beat the leader and stay in the hunt for the top six. My offense finally came alive, and my pitching held up pretty well. Ryan Howard, Corey Hart, and Clint Barmes (before he got hurt) were particularly potent, combining for 15 runs, 10 HR, and 20 RBI. I also managed to keep my WHIP down and my K/BB up.

I also felt pretty good about picking up Lester BEFORE his no-hitter (which certainly helped my WHIP.) If only wire pickups could always be that successful.

I am still at or near the bottom in all offensive categories except for HR, but better days appear to be ahead. I am still near the top in all the pitching categories, which will hopefully continue.

Here’s hoping that I break the cycle and actually win two in a row.

Not: Oswalt and Eric Gagne, currently chilling on my bench, but sure to be dropped soon.

Sarah – you still have Gagne?!?

I’m just baffled…
