[fightonusc]

Well, the trade deadline has officially passed. So, unless you pick someone off of the Free Agent list, you've got the team that you're using for the rest of the season. Right now, the battle for first place looks to be between The Stiffs and The Nimrods, with a three-team battle for the final two playoff spots. Can The Poopydicks make a miracle run to get back into contention? Can The Creamy Pirates or The Fighting Tony Danzas play spoilers? We'll know more after this week's games.

Week 12:

Da ShitPaws @ The Poopydicks     
BeefMaster @ The Creamy Pirates
The Stiffs @ The OC    
The Fighting Tony Danzas @ The Nimrods

ShitPaws/Poopydicks starts off the week today. I'm going to try to blow through these as quickly as possible.

[Gantry]

Lets go Poopydicks, start a run.  Get Jim Lindeman in your lineup, put Chester on the bench.  Trust me...

[fightonusc]

mclane really needs to start making "I (Heart) Poopydicks" T-shirts. The fans are demanding them.

[Gantry]

The name poopydick just makes you a fan...

SPOILER ALERT - IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE SHITPAWS/POOPYDICKS GAME BEFORE SEEING THE BOX SCORE, LOOK AWAY!!!





















Game Summary:

Dave Bergman and Kevin Mitchell hit home runs as part of a five-run fifth inning to lift The Poopydicks' over Da ShitPaws 12-6 on Monday at Tengen Stadium. The victory was The Poppydicks' first in four games, and kept their slim playoff hopes alive.

The Poopydicks' (5-7) pitching dominated Da ShitPaws' (6-6) bats for most of the game. Fernando Valenzuela picked up the victory in relief with a dominating performance, striking out three and not allowing an earned run over the final five innings. He also contributed a two-run double in the seventh inning to give himself some insurance.

Da ShitPaws shot out of the gates quick, scoring five times on three home runs in the top of the first. The inning was highlighted by a three-run shot by Tim Teufel, his first home run of the season. However, Da ShitPaws could managed just 12 hits against The Poopydicks' stingy pitching.

Mike Scott really shit the bed huh?

Also, you say Fernando picked up win in relief, when in fact he started, right?

Not he relieved, the pitchers Box Score orders by IP, but you can see from the batting box score that Fernando entered the game in the 5th.

I watched the video, that was neat...  The Shitpaws did absolutely nothing after the first.  Had the bases loaded in the 9th, but Armas couldn't capitalize....

I dissed Chet Lemon but he had a good game.  Lindeman came in for a double, I see he's batting over .700 - get him in the lineup Poopydicks!

Don't forget the pinch hitter boost.  Jimmy's place is on the bench, where he can dominate in the late innings.

[Gantry]

He dominates all the time.  I say put him in, especially with the CPU making subs that aren't necessarily the best option.  He's the first sub on the Poopydicks so Lindeman typically gets one AB for the pitcher in the 5th or so.  He's underused in my book...

[BeeJay]

I just looked at the numbers and was surprised at how much power Lindeman has.  What the hell's Bergman doing in the starting line up?

[Gantry]

I think Lindeman qualifies only at OF, so you can't sub him for Bergman..

[GreatScott]

fernandomania!!!!!  He has just been lights out since getting in the game

[BeeJay]

Oh, ok.  I figured since he played so many of his games at 1st, he'd be a utility man.

[fknmclane]

I've been trying to talk myself into switching Chet and Lindeman but it's a very difficult decision.  I realize Lindeman has pure power, but Chet is a more complete player.  I have a lot of reflection to do.

[fightonusc]

All I can say is that I tried to move Hendrick off of the bench, where he was an almost token PH HR every game. After a few games of 1-5 outings, he's back on the bench where he belongs...

Video of the Creamy Pirates/BeefMaster game is posted on the Web site. Recap to come later

[Gantry]

usc mentioned in chat that a pitcher hit a ball off the wall, might be worth watching the video just for that.  Especially those who are vehemently opposed to the pitcher dinger...

[JoeDirt]

Did that happen in the video posted directly above you, Gant?
