Since the Cubs were off yesterday, a bit more on fantasy ball. I promise I won't keep mentioning it once I'm finally satisfied with my roster, which I'm not yet.
Still trying to void my team of NL Central rivals, unfortunately I was aced out of picking up Tom Gordon to clean the slate by someone higher up on the waiver list. I was stuck grabbing Salomon Torres in a desperation move to pick up a few more saves, and his 36.00 ERA this week must be a sign that I should stay out of the division and dump him at the first possible opportunity.
So as it stands, my list of ex-Cubs includes Juan Pierre, Kenny Lofton, Sammy Sosa, Jamie Moyer, Greg Maddux, Jon Leiber and Jon Garland (yes, he started out in the Cubs system) to go along with six current men in blue, with an ex-White Sock for good measure. The White Sox, incidentally, haven't actually worn white socks in several years, and their black socks evoke memories of the Black Sox scandal that brought us the first dictatorial a-hole of a commissioner, who enforced apartheid in MLB until his death. But I digress.
Even with an ex-Cub factor that would make any pennant-winner shudder in the Series, I moved up to third place among 14 teams as I face, and lead, the league-leader in head-to-head competition this week.
And I dumped both my Oakland A's, my weak spots at catcher and shortstop, in favor of a couple of American Leaguers, one of whom nobody's heard of (yet is batting .469 in increasing playing time) and one from a team nobody cares about (but is hitting .349).
