Ichiro is very good for BA, R, and R.  Or so he usually is.  Last year he was real solid as far as fantasy value goes. 

I tried to draft a few guys who could steal bases since I was weak in that last year, and I tried to get guys who could score runs and hit.  Evidently I should have solely gone after .200 hitting sluggers.   

Either way, however bad my draft was, this goes beyond that.  Guys who are usually solid are doing pretty much crap here in April.  Zambrano has sucked, so has Webb.  half my players have barely played.  Giambi is hitting like a girl... so is Delgado and arguably Wright too (hit streak be damned).

If they don't get hot soon, I'm looking at a long long season at the bottom of the barrel. 

Ichiro had been cold, so I started Matthews.  Matthews' game was PPD so I tried to start Ichiro.  But the game slot was already locked.

Then Ichiro goes 4/5 with 4 Runs, a HR, 2 RB, and a SB.

I know my team sucks, but I can't catch a break...

EDIT:  Just saw that practically everyone on my team had their game postponed today.

Ortiz, Paul Lo Duca, David Wright, Matthews Jr., Tejada, Brian Roberts, and Tom Gordon all were supposed to play today and didn't.

Sheesh.

I never get worked up over a Naboo wave - but if they focused on Pod Racers, Mos Espa denizens, Senators, and maybe threw in one of the Gungans who was sitting around with Nass, and a new outfit for Amidala, I'd be pretty happy.

Put me down for 30 to 50 of those.

Crap.

I reset my router after I posted and it seems to have fixed it.  It's weird though, because it was only certain sites.  Hotmail, and Yahoo mainly.

The only real problem it caused was missing out on plugging Davis into PG, sitting Terry, and finding a bench player to use the UTL game for.

Oh well.



Thanks though.

I hope they open it up at some point, this just inspired me to add to my small collection of his art work.  (I got a signed print of his Good Bye Blue Monday bomb) for Christmas this year...)

Sorry Scott, didn't see that and just ran to the celebrity death thread.  I'm glad there's a separate topic for the guy.  Even though it isn't worth much - he earned it.
