From the mind of Peter Brown...
Listening to MGMT, I realized how awesome I was. I was in the top 4 in Brown League and my stock was still rising. So what if I am 122 innings over right now. I am sitting Fausto Carmona today to cut down on my innings. I heard that Trot Nixon got a butt knot from driving up from Florida to Boston after Spring Training. It kept him out of the game for a month. I don't think mine is as bad as that although there were certain moments last night that I didn't think I could go to work today. Falling and writhing on the floor at about 1 AM didn't boost my confidence. Waking up at 6 AM(pain is a good way to get up in the morning), I popped some pills and took a little nap and here I am, as good as new! Butt Knot is still there but tolerable!!! I just looked up butt knot on the internet and I don't think I'm using the right word. What I have feels like a muscle pull in my left cheek. Just wanted to clear that up. The definitions were kind of gross!
Anyways, my team is having a career year! Every player(besides Carlos Santana) on my squad who needed to step up has!!! I even have Placido Polanco who is the hottest player in the game and can't even crack my lineup. I'm reading 2 books right now. Tales from the Goon Squad and a memoir by Juliana Hatfield. They are both on my Kindle which is possibly wicked awesome! I joined twitter but I haven't posted anything yet. I also haven't been to the 99 since Friday, the 22nd. I'm going for a record.
Tonight is "No TV" Night at my apartment...not sure what I'm going to do. I am going to a Wilco show with Sam and Tim and families(I think Families) but I don't really like Wilco. Jeff Tweedy, in my opinion, is kind of a dink. But I'm still going to the concert. Anyone else who wants to come, can!!! You're invited!!! Also going to go camping at the end of May. I haven't been invited yet but I think I will still go!!! Me and Josh pulled a trade off in Umass league. I traded two hurt guys and got the hottest player in the league: David Wright!!! Man, am I mint!!!

The Smith's woke up in the basement this morning...
I was there for awhile, stinks down there. I feel like this is deja vu and Sammy was down there for a brief period last year and then somehow scams Yahoo into giving him 8pts on the last day to move up to 4th or something, total Smith Ponzi Scheme. Josh on the other hand has his work cut out for him, Dunn's appendix was like rubbing salt on a wound that dates back to last year. Which Smith makes a move? Which stays in the Top 6? Will they have the same exact number of points each day all year? Man I hope so!

The Till-Man, April 8th, 2011
The Sons of the South End actually gained 6.5 pts last night...but if you take some poop away from a pile of poop, it's still poop. The Till-Man was a pickup start for the Sons as no starter has gone through 5 innings since last Saturday. Needless to say I was down innings, the game was on MLB network, Boo Yaaaaaa. Interesting fact about Tillman, he had the lowest Opponents Hitting Avg since Sept 1st, he also pitched a 6inning no-hitter his first time out against the Rays. What could go wrong? Right?
With a team ERA of 7.something, all I needed was an average start. With my luck still going strong he gave a hit up to the FIRST batter! Remember, he didn't give up anything in 6 innings! Austin Jackson of all people who usually looks like he is trying to hit a pinata! Needless to say it was the opposite of a no-hitter. But my streak of pitchers not getting into the 5th inning is still in tact!
The Till-Man 4.2inn/4K's/7.71era/1.71whip 7's were wild boys!
Honorable mention: Jayson Werth for trying to fake his way out of a HR for us by sliding head first into 3rd on a HR trot

Big Vern, April 7th, 2011
Big Vern got a spot start for the home team yesterday and really made it his job to shat all over his OF spot. I decided to sit Werth against Volstad as he was 1-20 lifetime against him. Big Vern came in a lifetime .290-something vs righties and Helickson was on the mound for the Rays. I figure why not...boy did I get a fart on my face. I took a late lunch to watch Haren throw (have him in 2 leagues) and he was on from the start, so was Hellickson in the early innings but fizzled out in the 4th. Big Vern struck out 3 consecutive times, looking completely baffled about how to hit a baseball. Remember last year when he hit 50 HR's in the first 10 games? Yeah, that doesn't happen to me (FU McKenna). Big Vern's line
0/5 1 run, 3K's, 2 LOB
Honorable mention:
Ubaldo for going on the DL with a cut finger...come on
Dah!!
Yep, a blog is deserved for my team thus far. I set this up to highlight a player that went out of their way to stink the night before. This will be updated daily until my team (if they ever do) cross the 6th place threshold. Literally, since January NOTHING has gone right for me so I am starting to buy into a curse and I am going to run with it! Enjoy!
