  • RT @shanebacon: Alright, you heard it from me first … I’ll never watch NBC ever again, unless I have to for work. Ever. #
  • NBC sucks for this #Wimbledon debacle. Show the match live! Now, I’m going ot have to turn off twitter so I don’t see Roddick/Murray scores #
  • Join the #roto crew from Fanhouse as we host our weekly live fantasy baseball chat today at 1PM ET - http://bit.ly/BK728 #sblog #

  • @MarkBradleyAJC Yes they can. & Hudson’s return is right around the corner. I’d love to see a big bat b4 I truly believe in #Braves though. in reply to MarkBradleyAJC #
  • @MarkBradleyAJC Are you truly a #Braves believer or is this a tease until the NL East cream rises? in reply to MarkBradleyAJC #
  • RT @ed_price: Branyan’s HR was the first ever off the glass windows of the sports bar beyond CF at the new Yankee Stadium. #Mariners #
  • @eddiebecker LOL. I’ve been asking myself the same question. I’m hoping, but not predicting yet, a 2nd half turn around for Davis. in reply to eddiebecker #
  • We’re two days into July & Derrek Lee has 3 HR’s and 9 RBI. Is he telling us he’s going to have a great month? #Cubs #
  • #Braves new starting 2B Martin Prado’s hitting .368 w/ 2 HR’s over the past month. With fulltime AB’s if he keeps pace up great #roto pickup #
  • @amandarykoff That is crazy. Sheesh… in reply to amandarykoff #
  • Signed Franklin Gutierrez last night to fill in on Thur’s light schedule. I may keep him around for awhile. He’s hot & only 4% #roto owned #
  • Russell Branyan to Chris Davis - Three K’s a game are ok if you’re on pace to hit 41 jacks. #
  • @rebecca_glass Ha. I didn’t say you won. I said that I couldn’t argue you’re last statement. I still voted VMart on my final #allstarballot in reply to rebecca_glass #
  • @JoshSamBob Where’s the smiling face in your remark? That had to made in jest… :) in reply to JoshSamBob #
  • @rebecca_glass I cannot argue that statement at all. in reply to rebecca_glass #
  • @amandarykoff That means you must have a heck of a fantasy team. in reply to amandarykoff #
  • @amandarykoff That was the other AL position I struggled with, SS. Both Jeter and Bartlett deserve the start. in reply to amandarykoff #
  • @rebecca_glass I wouldn’t be disappointed “as a fan” with seeing either Mauer or VMart as the AL starting catcher. in reply to rebecca_glass #
  • Any sane person would agree w/ C-McCann, 1B-Pujols, 2B-Utley, SS-Hanley, 3B-Wright, OF-Ibanez,Braun & JUpton for an NL #allstarballott #mlb #
  • @rebecca_glass I struggled with that one. But Martinez has played all year. Mauer doesn’t have the AB’s. IMHO in reply to rebecca_glass #
  • Any sane person would agree w/ C-VMart, 1B-Miggy, 2B-Hill, SS-Jeter, 3B-Longoria, OF-Ichiro, Crawford &Hunter for an AL #allstarballott #mlb #
  • @gMcG3 The #Cubs R giving him days off, maybe #roto owners should until he hits his way into your lineup. Have a better option on the bench? in reply to gMcG3 #
  • #Braves are 2 games back at 38-40. Wow #
  • Big time sweep by #Braves #
  • @FriedBaseballATL Cox played great small ball in 8th. Timely hitting bt McCann & Diaz too. #
  • Pinch hit HR by Garrett Anderson. #Braves may pull off sweep of #Phillies #

  • @Wilson_Lau38 Yeah, you definitely owe me a beer on the Votto versus Davis debate back in March. You came out well there. in reply to Wilson_Lau38 #
  • @jhalpin37 It’s good to have you back from vacation. in reply to jhalpin37 #
  • @FantasyFanHouse I’m glad to see Kevin Correia responded well to us hyping him up this week. He gave up 6 ER in 5 IP today. #
  • His BA has dropped below .300 (.291) but it’s still amazing that 22-year-old Andrew McCutchen has hit safely in 21 of his first 27 games. #
  • Since returning on June 23rd, Joey Votto is 15-38 (.395). They’re mostly singles (4 extra base hits) but who’s complaining right now? #reds #
  • @jasoncollette We’re all just trying grow up to be like you. You’ve been real name from day one. in reply to jasoncollette #
  • @BrendanWilhide @amandarykoff All the cool kids R changing names on twitter. Don’t know about my followers, but I’m sure confused right now #
  • Well, @amandarykoff was already taken. So, I decided to go with my real name. #
  • Apologies for the confusion. I’m no longer Crooked Pitch on twitter. You can now interact with me using @knoxbardeen #namechange #
  • Bergesen was robbed by his bullpen yesterday. He still hasn’t lost since May 19th & is 4-0 with a 2.07 ERA in last 7 GS. 16% #roto ownership #
  • Have U noticed Cody Ross raising his HR total & AVG each month? (3-4-6 & .217-.287-.302). He’s quietly hit 14 homers . 44% #roto ownership #
  • Totally agree with @TheMontyShow about Utah. No way they should go into ‘09 as #2 in the country #

  • Recorded Fantasy Baseball Cram Session #6 w/ @FantasyFanHouse.Talked cheap pitchers & lots of injury news. http://bit.ly/Zkl5O #sblog #roto #
  • RT @FollowThePadres: Sounds as if Adrian Gonzalez’s strained knee isn’t serious. He’ll see how it sets up in the AM before exploring tests #
  • For the love of all that is holy. Adrian Gonzalez… when the ball doesn’t go yard, you stop at 2B. http://bit.ly/zEkT6 #padres #kneeinjury #
  • Why do people keep laughing when I tell them to pick up Jason Marquis. 2-hit CG shutout tonight & is now 10-game winner. 39% #roto ownership #
  • @CompanyWoman Rodney may be close to or even on the chopping block. Luckily for you Zumaya has had a rough June. Lyon on the other hand… in reply to CompanyWoman #
  • Ichiro with three SB’s Tuesday night, Andrus with four??? Wow! #
  • Even without Frenchy’s lucky underwear, the #Phillies still got turkey’d - http://bit.ly/DaZb6 - #sblog #mlb #braves #

Tuesday night was a terrible night for big-named players and injuries.

  • Adrian Gonzalez tried to leg out a triple and hurt his knee sliding into third base. Nobody knows the extent of the injury as he’ll be evaluated on Wednesday.
  • Mark DeRosa lasted all of three games for the Cardinals before getting injured. He left Tuesday’s game with a left wrist injury.
  • Grady Sizemore is going to play through pain for the rest of the season and most likely have off-season surgery to repair his left elbow. So much for Sizemore being a buy-low candidate for the second half.

  • @jefeboy Yeah, he’s going to be gone in deep leagues like that. in reply to jefeboy #
  • @TheRoundtable You’re absolutely right. Correia is the better add right now than Gaudin. in reply to TheRoundtable #
  • @Tra_visM He’s pitching in the right ballpark and division. He just has to keep his K:BB ratio where it is now. #
  • Time to grab Chad Gaudin in your NL-only leagues. Unless it’s an incredibly deep league, mixed-leaguers should wait. http://bit.ly/kKz1G #
  • Chad Gaudin pitched great 4 the #Padres Sun. You should look at his last 3 GS. He’s gotta 2.14 ERA w/ a 28:5 K:BB ratio. 2% #roto ownership #

  • Join me for our weekly Fanhouse live fantasy baseball chat at 1:00 PM ET. http://bit.ly/w5XQb #sblog Please RT #roto #
  • @jasoncollette As of last week he was leading all of MiLB in ERA. Wood will climb into the rotation spot Homer gives up in about 9 starts. in reply to jasoncollette #
  • @jasoncollette Maybe only one of the Texas sluggers is allowed to hit at the same time. It’s either Chris Davis or Cruz… take you pick. in reply to jasoncollette #
  • @azhardball You’re really throwing his name into the 30/30 hat??? in reply to azhardball #
  • Aaron Hill homered tonight for the 2nd time in two games. He’s now at 17 dingers for the year. (tied for his career best) #BlueJays #
  • Congrats to Aaron Poreda for notching his first #mlb win. #WhiteSox #
  • After winning three str8, Chad Billingsley’s last 2 starts have been bad. Both times he walked more than he K’d and total has given up 8 ER. #
  • Both Hanley Ramirez & Mark Reynolds are working towards making my projected 30/30 list. I’ll buy Han Ram, not Reynolds. http://bit.ly/39dtX #
  • Injury Update: Eric Byrnes HBP & broke his hand. Out 4-8 weeks. #
  • I displayed great #roto GM skills tonight by leaving Derek Lowe on the bench. Zero K’s, 3 BB’s and seven earned in three innings. Ouch! #
