At least my team didn't pay 200 million for 8 wins over the past 2 season from a certain surfer turned pitcher.

What would make you think something like that? He's the ironman of the mound.

Strategy FTW

i.e. bunting, stealing bases, hit and run

Sure as hell don't see that in the AL

I knew two dudes that moved out here from Chicago. Real sound guys, but when I came to sports...I hated them. Then all the bad blood that kept happening with SD and Chicago made me hate the Cubs even more.

The real Cubs fans I don't mind because they are generally well informed....what I can't stand is all the "life long" Cub fans that come out of the wood work. Same thing happened in 03' (Thank you Steve Bartman).

Hes definitely not worth the money we are paying him, but he is definitely stepping it up as of late.

We can just pretend his salary goes to Lincecum and Lincecum's goes to Zito

I always draft harden in fantasy leagues (or in this seasons case I was able to pick him up after the draft) and I enjoy the benefits until he gets injured.

I know the stats say otherwise, but when you are actually watching the games he pitches, it seems like he strikes out like 2 batters an inning.

Can't log in either and once on of my players i'm starting gets off the DL another one gets hurt, I'd be shocked if I'm not in last or second to last

i.e. Joe Torre

All he did was sit on the bench and watch the Yankees play for 12 years and everybody thought he was the best thing since sliced bread.
