"He could be in the big leagues this year, and in the end, I could see him batting out of the two-hole. He could be an Edgar Renteria type of player."

I've got a sore neck. I don't feel like writing much, but it is interesting that the top team doesn't have a ranking over 17, or 4th. If I could only get some pitching, I'd have an incredibly competitive team. Here are the standings. I'm looking for a starter, and have power to trade. Send me an offer.

1	Oconnobe's O...	140	-1
2	Acheron's Br...	138	-0.5
3	The Hoffmanc...	136	-5
4	Catalyst's C...	135	+0.5
5	Adam P's Her...	132.5	-1.5
6	Rendezvous S...	131	-2.5
7	BrewCrew Shr...	125.5	+6.5
8	The Scottis...	124	+4
9	Noah Anti-Su...	120	+2
10	Mr. McGehee'...	119	-2
11	SabrIllitera...	118	+1
12	Brewtown Bea...	113	-3.5
13	Hyatt Likes...	111.5	+1
14	Grobbins' Gr...	91	-0.5
15	Cheese, Corn...	84.5	+2.5
16	Token Cubs Fan	67	+2

Bucks Trade RJ (according to Chad Ford)

Hyatt — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:17:24 -0000

[Note by your friendly BullsBlogger, 06/23/09 1:11 PM CDT: Front-paged. I assume there will be more from Frank and Alex soon, but I figured there should be something up ASAP to get the conversation rolling. ]

According to Chad Ford, the Bucks just moved Richard Jefferson for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, and Kurt Thomas. Our long nightmare of Richard Jefferson on our team is finally over... I guess... This move saves the team 3 mil this year and 15 mil next year according to Ford. I hope this works for my first fan-post on here. I thank twitter for assisting me in the breaking news. Five words to go. Go Bucks!!!

In case anyone wants to post this on the front page, I'll put something before the jump

Well that ws fun. Let's get on with it. It's been awhile since I did this. Reason being, check out my latest update on Twitter @enrico_palazzo_, mostly because it's too depressing to recount. Anyway,I'm going to do a little self-analysis of my team, based on where I am.

My team is in trouble. I've pretty much maxed out the value I have offensively. I don't have much speed to think of, and there really isn't much upgrade over Placido Polanco out there (though I'm going to try Macier Isturis to see if I can get similar production with a little more speed there). The only tradable commodity I have isn't really good to go until I have Encarnacion back from the DL. Basically, this is the peak I can go offensively.

Pitching wise, my starters refuse to o the simple thing and stop giving up runs. Scott Baker has been a total bust, and Joe Blanton, despite turning things around a bit this month, has been killing me all year long. My starter's WHIP and ERA have been so terrible that even though I have 4 very good relievers, I'm still near the bottom of the pack. I may have to rethink how to get up the standings here.

My only hpe for a championship is to get rid of a starter or 2 (Dontrelle has today's game to prove he's worthy of a spot), and replace them with relievers with low ERA and WHIP. Hopefully my team will continue with the wins, and maintain it's offensive domination. Otherwise, it looks like a 6-10th place finish for me here.

Feel free to analyze your own team... and ask a few questions if you want.

1	Catalyst's C...	142.5	-2
2	Oconnobe's O...	141	-2
3	Rendezvous S...	137	-1
4	The Scottis...	135.5	-0.5

Since no one else is posting one, I'll take the liberty and do so. Brewers Won last night, 4-0 over the Braves. Boston allegedly has interest in JJ Hardy (probably another Boston Globe rumor). And if you wonder why I hate music, check out a recent top 5 pop songs list according to Itunes. Feel free to add your own links. I have family stuff to do. Gametime tonight is 6:00 as Suppan takes on Javy Vasquez. Have a good day

In all things, we look back and see our teams, where they are, and why they are there. I do this on a daily basis. I will look at my team, and say F*CK YOU to that particular guy. Here are the guys i would like to give a hearty FU to on my team:

Scott Baker- F*CK YOU Scott Baker. You 2-6 MotherF*cker. I drafted you expecting at least a repeat, if not better. I mean, christ, you are 27, and have a good track record. But no, you decide to give me a f*cking 6.32 ERA. You've had 2 good starts all year. No matter how much Eric Karabell pimps you, I will no longer believe. I could've had closer, or Javy Vasquez, or a good fucking player. Instead, because of a f*cking autopick, I'm stuck with your ass. So F*ck You Scott Baker, I hope you get sodomized by a siphylis infested rhino.

Placido Polanco- F*ck You Placido Polanco. You worthless piece of crap. Another autopick atrocity, I have to put up with your 22 runs, and .255 average. You don't run, you don't hit homers, what kind of f*cked up sh*t is that? How are you even contributing to your team anyway? Why were you rated so highly to be there when the f*cking computer picked you? An empty .307 average last year? You are f*cking worthless. I am praying for you to be attacked by bees.

Jason Motte, Joe Blanton and Oliver Perez- F*ck You Jason Motte, Joe Blanton and Oliver Perez. The two of you totally screwed my 12th, 13th and 14th round. Granted, the 14th round is just terrible for all of us, but still, F*ck Perez. Motte and Perez have already lost their jobs, and Joe, you are going down soon. Jason, I hope you never get anywhere in Baseball and end up back in your hick town selling gasoline to your hick farmers who remember you and one of their dumb hick asses runs into the gas pump and causes a giant explosion leading to your disfigurement. Joe, I hope you eat so much that you become the first heart attack to competitive eating. And Oliver, just take your unrealized potential and get herpes.

Who would you like to tell F*ck You to on your team or from your draft? Feel Free. Here are the standings:

1	Rendezvous S...	143.5	-5
2	Oconnobe's O...	139.5	-1.5
3	Catalyst's C...	138	-0.5

MLBTradeRumors hops on the Peavy to Crew bandwagon

Pretty decent rundown of all links about Peavy to the Crew. I'm all for it, especially if it involves Kendall being hit by a pitch or 14.
