I believe I managed a killer lineup with the cheaper Mets. the Red Sox are always a good pick because they have the best rotation in the MLB but you can't get a better matchup than this week's Mets. plus I love picking a NL team over an AL one. what I'm really looking forward this week is seeing if it pays off not paying the big bucks at 2B for Chase Utley. I thought it made sense giving up on him this week because I already missed the best week of his life, probably (averaged almost 10 fan pts per game last week) - if he keeps playing like that he's worth every penny.

Utley, like Ryan Howard, seems to hit his homeruns in clusters. He's had a few big power weeks this season. I went with the Red Sox staff this week even though Matsuzaka is on the DL. I think the biggest factor I considered was 6 of 7 games at home. I'm starting to buy into this home field winning percentage thing in baseball this year, and the Red Sox seem to do exceptionally well at Fenway. Moreover, TB is a different team on the road. I looked hard at the Mets, who are on the west coast this week where east coast teams often struggle. They are still a bit of an enigma. It should be an interesting week.

You're still within easy striking distance of the top 10. Did anyone go with Jay Bruce this week? I was thinking about it, but thought he 's got to cool down. he homered last night.

He prefers using his secret identity "Mr. Big". I lucked out with Milton Bradley this week. But I'm well aware that there is only a fine line between Mr. Big and Mr. Big Idiot. :)I have a strong hunch about a stff next week that I haven't previously selected, which means I may probably flop next week.

All 7 games were not only on the road, but on the west coast, which is historically difficult for east coast teams. The Giants and Padres have both been improving while the Mets have been playing without a lot of fire since June of last year. I picked the White Sox this week as they seeem to be playing very well although the three games in Detroit has me concerned. They also get to play the Rockies, which are a much different offensive team on the road.

I don't think Cockcroft or I or those who were bleeding the last 2 weeks deserve the blame, but you klydon deserve the praise for your last 2 weeks. this game is about making good picks and probably the reason you climbed so much in the last week is because you had the foresight to see the Mets would stumble in the West, something that I would never consider.
