you're absolutely right
the way that some of you look for a reason to bitch at other posters, simply because they don’t state something the only way you’ll accept as “rooting for the team” ALWAYS confuses the hell out of me.
If I say something negative? Fine, rip me apart, I still won’t care, but I at least get that. Get pissy because I said I hope he does well, as opposed to I know he’ll do well? Yeah that’s nonsensical

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
he's also not overpowering
you bristle because I don’t say exactly what you want me to say. Gregg has been incredibly up and down this year. It’s not unheard of for him to struggle. Therefore I hope he can do his job.

I don't like leagues with so many teams.
I think 12 is the right number of teams.

And
I really only hardcore pay attention to 3 of the leagues, the other two are pretty small (8 teams) and on auto-pilot.
Yeah, Johnson, Danks and Nolasco...
are pretty solid for you. Marshall too. After that, meh, you take what you get.

Danks and Nolasco
Were my SP keepers. I had KRod as an RP keeper. The others were drafts or FA / waiver acquisitions. I also have Capps, Ziegler, Gooz, Perry, Casilla, and Braden

he's got no where else to go.
That’s the plus-side to these slow starts and decent play – the middle of the order still hasn’t taken off (though Lee looks like he’s turning the corner).

Honestly, what is wrong with GB?
Does anyone know? He cant seem to make contact half the time. I thought he was an on base machine of sorts.
"How's your mother?"
"She's on her way out."
"We all are. Act accordingly."
just off to a slow start
and he may be pressing a bit at this point. He’ll come around.

I'm fairly certain that by admitting that Bradley's play hasn't been perfect, you're rooting against him

doesn’t call Cub’s games anymore because he “called it like it is” That’s how you’re treated here if you do the same………you’re accused of being anti-Cub.
