so do we have any more people down with fantasy baseball?

 

And what the fuck is up with ryan howard trying to get 10 million in from the phils... I am going to say that anyone who would pay him 10 mil a season is smoking crack.. I can't see paying that much to someone who has struck out more times then he has gotten hits in every season he has played in... I don't care how many home runs he hits, the fact that he strikes out more then he gets hits means he isn't worth the money... Those stike outs are going to stay with him his whole career...

Diamond Backs did well throughout the regular season, beat the cubs in round 1 of the post, but got pummeled by the Rockies in the second round.

 

I think we have a great team, and I'm sure we'll be back in the playoffs.

This Phillies prank on Kyle Kendrick works on so many levels

There are still eight months left in the 2008 season, but the rest of the 29 teams are going to need the time if they're going to top the prank the Phillies played on young Kyle Kendrick over the weekend.

 

If you haven't seen it yet (video here), the setup went like this: Manager Charlie Manuel called the 23-year-old pitcher into his office and told him he had been traded to the Yomiuri Giants for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura." The ruse, expertly orchestrated by Brett Myers (who else?), worked so well that Kendrick was shocked into silence for most of the trick. Couldn't even stop to realize that MLB and Japanese teams never swap players.

 

So many things went into staging this that it's hard to pick just one favorite aspect.

 

Among the contenders:

 

• The sheer number of people who were complicit in bringing Kendrick to the verge of tears. From the team's traveling secretary to the Comcast cameraman to the PR people and writers who helped stage a fake news conference, it was a fine reminder of how much downtime there can be at spring training.

 

• The fake trade papers/travel arrangements. If Kendrick doesn't know not to sign anything without talking to his agent first, then I have a few business proposals I'd like to discuss with him. (If anyone else is interested most of the ideas have to do with either hot plasma TVs or slippers for housecats.)

 

• Manuel's weird sadist glee over the whole incident. "I would have loved to see him fly to Japan and get off the plane," the Phillies manager said afterward. "That would have been the best. As a matter of fact, I would have paid his fare." Quick show of hands: Who else is glad that Weird Ol' Chuck isn't their boss?

 

• How fast the prank has already spread. Kendrick's Baseball Reference page has already been bought by a sponsor who left "Good luck in Japan Kyle!" as a message. "Good luck living this down!" might have been a more appropriate tag.

 

• The howling Phillies clubhouse. Because it's always fun to laugh at the young'un. Did that scene remind anyone else of the Goodfellas clip where all the gangsters bust on Henry Hill after Pesci's "funny, how?" bit?

I'm already registered...

 

As for Ryan Howard, whatever. From what I know, he was off of the radar for much of 2007, as opposed to 2006 where he was smacking HRs right and left. But I really think HRs is all he is capable of when he actually hits the ball.

 

well I am saying that regardless of how many hr's he spanks he still strikes out more often than he gets hits...

and if you haven't joined the league join the league we need a few more teams..
