Charlie Sheen Loses; Whitney Houston Bitch Slaps Malibu Messiah
I went 4-0 for the first time last week, and the Colorado Snow (4-0) finally defeated Charlie Sheen (3-1), 377-358. Â Leading scorers for the Colorado Snow were Felix Hernandez with 57, Freddie Freeman with 33, and Carlos Gonzalez with 32 points. Â The Preacher beat my pitching rotation 155-132, but my hitters rose to the occasion outscoring Sheen by 32 points.
The Minnesota M and M Boys (3-1) managed a win against David Damn (0-4) despite losing Justin Morneau to the DL. Â Jered Weaver’s no-hitter against the Twins certainly helped, as Weaver was my high scorer with 40 points. Â Jose Reyes, Ryan Braun, Matt Holliday, Torii Hunter, Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Jeter, and Michael Bourn all scored 20 points or more. Â The Preacher beat me in pitching again, 143-141, but my hitters reigned supreme.
Whitney Houston (2-2) was swinging a hot bat last week and pitching with precision, dominating Malibu Messiah (0-4) by 99 points. Â The pitching staff alone contributed 236 points to keep Messiah winless. Â It seems I have another powerhouse on my hands that needs to be broken up before the trade deadline.
In Losers Buy a Ball League, I was able to overcome an injured lineup with excellent pitching to beat the Preacher 452-400. Â My pitching staff won the week netting 263 points to the Preacher’s 173. Â I may have to make some moves to pick up some bats, but the GoGonzoJournal Thompsons are looking good at (3-1). Â Last week’s debacle regarding my opponent’s blatant misuse of the bench has still not been resolved, but we are working to find a solution.
I couldn’t have imagined my first month of fantasy baseball in 7 years going as well as it has, but I’m not going to argue with Pujols not hitting and pitching ruling the day. Â I like that kind of league, and I like that kind of team. Â Good pitching always prevails over good hitting, and I have great pitching.
