Such a relief that I got my first HR, two in fact, beat a fellow manager who gave me no chance, and that the White Sox beat the Indians. I am disappointed that Greinke fell apart at the end to make it closer than it was but I needed a win so I can't be too disappointed.

INJURY NOTE: Robinson Cano (ChC) was injured by a hit by pitch in the 3rd inning and was replaced by Brian Roberts. Robinson Cano will go on the disabled list with a contusion on his right side.
Luke Scott was shifted out defensively in the top of the 4th in favor of Magglio Ordonez... or something. He was not injured as far as I can tell, and will be good to go next game.
First three weeks we had the "Turning Point" system -Average differential between winner and loser: 2.7 runs -Average combined runs per game: 7.16 runs -Extra inning games: 2 games (12 innings, 12 innings) -Blowouts (victory by more than 4 runs): 4 games (3 of which were week 1) -Close games (victory by 1 or 2 runs): 12 games -Average runs for winning team: 4.94 runs -Average runs for losing team: 2.2 runs
Second three weeks we had "Turning Point" turned off -Average differential between winner and loser: 4.2 runs -Average combined runs per game: 8.9 runs -Extra inning games: 2 games (21 innings, 15 innings) -Blowouts (victory by more than 4 runs): 8 games -Close games (victory by 1 or 2 runs): 6 games -Average runs for winning team: 6.5 runs -Average runs for losing team: 2.3 runs
SHOULD WE HAVE TURNING POINT ON THE REST OF THE SEASON? A.) YES B.) NO C.) KEEP ALTERNATING (WHICH IS STUPID)
Hey Alec, feel free to get the score/win/loss correct for my game
Also, I'm 3-0 without turning point, and 1-2 with it... but I don't think a turning point ever appeared in my first three games. At least not two of them for sure. But looking at the stats...
B. No

"Oops" My bad. Fixed now.
I'll probably do the results/standings/next week's games deal tonight.
IF YOU HAVE ROSTER CHANGES, IT WOULD NOT HURT TO REPOST NOW TO MAKE SURE I REMEMBER >_>
Due to Halladay being at a disadvantage for this week, I want a spot start by Shaun Marcum, but for my rotation to resume normally afterward with Halladay for week 8, Felix for week 9, and Greinke for week 10

As a reminder: ASB resets rest, so you can start whoever you want in Week 10.
For example Felix can start Week 9 and Week 10. Or whoever else you want.

~~~WEEK 6 STANDINGS~~~ Place / Team / W - L / RS / RA / GB / Results 1T.) #OccupyMannys / 3-3 / 25 / 26 / 0.0 / LWL WWL 1T.) San Francisco Underachievers / 3-3 / 33 / 34 / 0.0 / WLW LWL 1T.)

Tulsa Roughnecks 2-4 / 25 / 33 / 1.0 / LWL LWL
Fun Fact: No team in the badass league has a positive run differential. Or a winning record. The best run differential is the Weasels (at 0) despite being tied for last place in the Badass League with a 2-4 record. There are 4 teams tied for first at 3-3.
Perhaps this isn't as bad as it looks. There are only 3 teams in baseball with positive run differentials: The Electricity (+12), the Thrones (+11) and the Penetrators (+2).
The Kickass League went 5-1 in the first week of interleague.
New Lineup 1. CF - Melky Cabrera 2. 2B - Jimmy Rollins 3. 1B - Michael Morse 4. LF - Carlos Gonzalez 5. RF - Jay Bruce 6. C - Jorge Posada 7. 3B - Chipper Jones 8. DH - Ryan Raburn 9. SS - Alex Gonzalez
Please correct me if Jimmy cannot play 2nd Base. If not, place Alex at 2B and Jimmy at SS. Whichever one works.
