He was already signed. Kind of glad he did poorly (the Giants can handle 1 loss a week, right?), as he might show up on the waiver wire this week. I'm having trouble keeping up with the lesser known players this year, not being able to watch baseball tonight or read much coverage overall. Kind of relying on faith to a certain extent...drafted well, but the past two weeks I've been steadily dropping in the standings. Right now I'm trying to trade John Maine for a slugger...tough getting anyone to give up something good. If he wins again this week, someone will have to bite. If I can land a Carlos Lee or Manny for him, I'll still have Webb, Dice-K (can't throw strikes these past few weeks), Verlander, Jered Weaver (coming around), Lilly, Jennings (used to pitch for Colorado, now in Houston)...It's RBI that I'm completely sucking in right now... I figure once Maine makes his 2nd & 3rd trip around the NL, they'll get to him, plus he's likely to tire after all-stars. Zito seems to be pitching well.

I wonder if they could pull off the smaller, more insignifcant matches that networks like USA and ESPN cannot seem to do. Shit, I need to get off of my ass and get HBO. What the hell have I been waiting for? HBO fights are always the best. I wonder if they could pull off the smaller, more insignifcant matches that networks like USA and ESPN cannot seem to do.
