Congrats on your streak to #2 TM! I haven't updated scores in a while, so I'll do it here and also, I want to remind people of the SP counts. A few of us are getting close to 162 so please be mindful of how many starts you have left.

Standings as of 9/17/09

BAM, you are at 167 games started now, five over the limit. RP's who are starting count against your total, so you need Randy Wells and whoever else might be starting games.

If I was JG I'd be pissed since he is right behind you.

so just wells then

If BAM's last 5 starts have been all Randy Wells (which needs to be checked), then we have to deduct 14 points from his score.

thats seems fair...the only reason he was left in was because of the possibility of him being a middle reliever.

I just wanna say I know nothing about baseball but I am playing in my 12 team league's championship game. Woooo me.

JL is the evil Dodgers in first, you are the Rockies who just won't slow down, and I'm the Giants... strong start but completely imploding at the end.

TM has 1 start left.

I'm WAY behind cuz I'm WAY out of it anyway... why exert that much energy at this point?

You can easily catch BAM if you want. You have almost 30 starts left.

My pitching is SHIT at this point, and with a couple weeks left, I really don't care any more (tho I'm still playing)

I'm just trying to hold on. I have 2 starts in hand, and a 100+ point lead. It will be tough for me to blow it.

You don't care about catching BAM? The guy who trash talked you the whole season and said he only wishes to finish ahead of you?

I have no pitching

You only need a couple of points per start, and you'll catch him.

Half my rotation was giving me negative points per start.

I'm still starting everyone who comes up, but don't even have a full SP roster, so... we'll see.

C'mon, JG vs. BAM is turning out to be the only entertaining thing left in this finale. The rest of the spots are basically set. Let's see a little fiery passion here!

I almost pulled a BL on you but like Vito says "there wasn't enough time"

I'm not proclaiming victory yet. Especially since my offense is putting up zeroes tonight. (0-15 so far)

I have 1 GS left

I had two left and figured I would go with Lincecum my best pitcher for the last two starts, but of course I got 10 points from him tonight while Zambrano decided to finally put up a big game, 46 points. Even though I've had a fairly successful season, I don't feel like I did enough to make the team better this year. A couple of good trades and a couple of bad ones. Oh well.

Honestly, with the years my starting pitching had, I can't believe this season was even close. They're currently 96-55. My bullpen was also #2, and my position players were very solid. I feel like I should be 1000 points ahead.

Give us some credit

I give you guys credit. I just find it hard to believe my team which has little weakness if any, didn't run away this year.

TM needs to bench all his starting pitching

oooh are you scared???

I was wondering if you guys would let me get start #163 in honor of the great Zack Greinke.

are people aware of what he's done this year? SI.com's Joe Posnanski keeps pointing it in his blog everyday and one of these days I ran across an article where he listed all the pitchers that had 200-200-200 seasons. (at least 200 inning pitched, 200 K's and 200 ERA+). There are 4 or 5 pitchers that accomplished this and 7 seasons that it happened (Pedro did it 3 times), 2009's Greinke among them.

He's done? He's supposed to pitch Saturday.

yes..I'll bench him don't worry

even if he gives up 10 ER it doesn't change anything. maybe the 200 ERA+ thing but fock that.

Congratulations JL, again! You were quicker to pull the trigger on two players. I was looking at picking up both Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds, and both times took a break to think about it and when I came back you swiped them. I need to make decisions quicker as long as you are in the league.

And congratulations to TM for an amazing second half and second place finish!

My team just really fell apart the past 3-4 weeks. I'm lucky to finish third.

I was lucky to finish last....

I never quit though. I kept at it!
