boy did you bone me goooooood...

Not only was he on my bench week 1 (very good start). And week two (a WIN). Not only did I activate him for that fisting last night but he was the HUMP who threw the pitch that broke A.Hill's hand. Who I seem to have EVERYfuggingWHERE...

What's laughable is that he has one more start to A. Bust up my peripherals, B. Bust El Oso Blanco's other hand.

Regardless of what this walking hump does your ass is dropped this Sunday you poisonous toad turd.

I told you to drop him for Bedard.

And I thought I was mad about Bedard's start. Good thing Steve didn't add a pic to go with his thoughts. Or did he and was it censored?

This made me chuckle. Thanks Q!

James McDonald has an arm;
E-I-E-I-O,
And with his arm he screwed his owners;
E-I-E-I-O
With a screw you here, and an f you there;
Here a screw, there a screw,
Everywhere he's screwing you;
James McDonald has an arm;
E-I-E-I-O
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week....

That's not me anyway. WAY too calm.

C'mon Steve...tell us how you really feel!

I am sorry, bro. That just sucks swamp water.

Note to self- Do not start James McDonald or Erik Bedard when wearing number 42....

I know there is usually a backlash and naysayers when thinking about changing an NFBC rule....
That said, I'll put this one out there for comment anyway...
And I'll put this in capitol letters, THIS IS NOT FOR THIS YEAR, just so there's no misunderstanding...

But with the proliferation of injuries each of the last few years, what about a tweak in the eligibility rules in granting a player eligibility in a position after five games at a position during the current year.
This would give some owners positionality quicker for some players and also enable them to sort players rather than replace them.
If strongly urged by NFBC folks, the 20 games from the previous year rule could also be changed to 10.
Just a thought in dealing with injury....

That I did my friend. And you're right, it was good for a laugh. Thanks KJ.

Pirates keeping an eye on James McDonald

by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com

(5:58 pm ET) Pirates starter James McDonald is 1-2 with a 5.27 ERA through his first three starts and his velocity was noticeably down in his previous outing.

Despite his struggles, the right-hander told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Tuesday that injuries have not led to his slow start.

“I'm fine,” McDonald said. “It's just one of those times when my body just doesn't feel too well, and I have to battle through it. My body feels a little beat up. Long road trip, coming back here, I've got to get adjusted to the workload I'm putting on myself.”

Manager Clint Hurdle said the club has no plans on skipping McDonald but will continue to monitor his progress.

“Is he 100 percent on top of his game? No,” Hurdle said. “He's not feeling anything that he doesn't think is manageable. It's perplexing to some degree. We'll have the trainers and our strength and conditioning guy continue to monitor some stuff. We'll try to evaluate this day-by-day"

Comment by CBS Viewer Steve Jupinka-

Long road trip? That's the best you got for dicking my pitching stats all to hell!?
'Get adjusted' in the locker room or bullpen, you piece of crap!
I have a reputation to uphold and you bitch and moan about a long road trip and your 'adjustments'.
I may as well have drafted Ronald McDonald to pitch!
Thanks a lot you big turd!

Editors reminder- Use of profanity is not allowed on these boards. Mr. Jupinka is walking a fine line and his posts will be scrutinized in the future.

OMG. Classic. F***ing all-timer of a rant. Love it. THAT is hilarious. Still laughing at that! Think we can all relate to that anger.

For what it's worth, last year around this time AJ Burnett had, I believe it was, an 11 EArnies start. I know because I was squarely on the ledge after that start. He finished ok. Don't think he knocked out any of my top players though. Bad start plus injuring another top player is called, I believe....if this were the game show Press Your Luck...a "Double Whammy!"

No Double Whammies!!!!!!!

COZ

B. Maurer 6 ER in 1/3 IP
E. Bedard 6 ER in 2/3 IP
It sounded like a good idea at the time!
How dumb am I?

Team ERA 4.314.

Subtract out that ONE combined IP...Team ERA a cool 3.45.

At this point McDonald would be a welcome swap.
