Check out his next two SP's so far.
I will be in Albuquerque next week. Tico is my opponent next week. Will he come there to meet me mano-to-mano. No. Chicken-****.
Good question. Can he man-up?
uh oh. I made man-up up.
Osso ... have you been listening to Mike & Mike on ESPN?
No. Think of me as media deprived. I only stay tuned, to whatever extent I do, via online. (But don't feel sorry, I was a media brat, I'm just in a timeless resting phase.)
I have learned that I can access yahoo video stuff. Video is catch as catch can on this computer. But, really, I'm crazed enough with input.
So, ESPN uses man-up as a verb?
Votto, resting on my bench, hit three homers. Bannister, young turk, has 13,000+ yahoo fantasy folks dumping him. 'Course they said that or similar a few days ago about Greg Smith, who then pitched a nice game. Pah!
So, yahoo keeps telling me how many thousands of fantasy players are dropping my player like burnt potatoes - the players' names vary. Sometimes they're right, but not always. That's nice, but how many thousands are not dropping my players like burnt potatoes?
Large quantities of yahoo players are reactionaries who are quick to drop a player they should hold onto.
(Wondering if there is a place to see the total number of fantasy players who have X player on their teams..)

The Yahoo pundits obviously have access to those stats, but I don't know if that's a tool available to us regular folk.
One of my teams in a public Yahoo League is playing .500 ball. 23 wins, 23 losses, 4 draws. It's ranked in place 186,188. So I would say there are between 350,000 and 400,000 teams in Head-to-head public leagues. We divide that by 12 teams per league... and we get around 30-35 thousand free public leagues.
Doing a similar exercise with a rotisserie team, the numbers are similar.
So, we have around 65 thousand free 5x5 leagues.
We must add private leagues, like TripleA2K. Perhaps as much.
And then... those guys who play Baseball Plus. I don't know how many.
My guess would be about 150,000 leagues, as a whole, in Yahoo baseball. Over a million players.
Good work, Fb. So, if 18,000 dropped my lame pitcher (well, it may be more by now, poor sap).... but how many of them would have a given not-the-most-popular pitcher in the first place. I trust that would be hard to guess, as pitchers' stats vary and f/players' reactions to the stats vary - only the yahoo game stats would have that (wherever they secrete that info).
I am just musing, since I get what are almost useless notices from yahoo, with the odd one or two helpful, but every one sounding urgent. Adjust roster!!! Bark bark bark!!! Bark bark!!

Polanco. Started the season zero for thirty, or something close to that. Multiple rumors floating around. Left shoulder horned man:"drop him, drop him", right shoulder winged man:" patience alex-san, give Placido some time." He's been on fire for two weeks.
Who is the manager of the peameal females?
Hello Ossobuco, Ticomaya, jespah, and fbaezer.

ehbeth, and she's having a hell of a week.
On my side, Mr Neshek is gonna sit down for awhile.
By my calculation, Turf Toe and the Rednecks are in what will be a close competion that could go either way. Meanwhile, the Southpaws are not faring too well.
I have my eye on 6th place.
I don't know what makes me angrier, when my pitchers suck or when both throw excellent games and neither gets the win.
I'm being pounded by a team that has batting averages in the clouds, and worse yet, two empty slots on their roster.
