speaking of the sox...

i read a rumor that they're toying around with the idea of trading jermaine dye to build up their farm system!!! WHAT?!?! they can't trade him!! he's my favorite player on their team!!! and... why would you trade one of your better players when you need all the help you can get at the moment? doesn't make sense to me... but then again... i'm just a fan. i only know so much.

i had a major decision to make with my fantasy team. bonderman was coming back from the dl... so i had to make room for him by getting rid of someone else. it was initially gonna be a pitcher... moyer or harang... but then i realized that i have two guys sitting on the bench in offensive positions to fill in gaps for other players' off days. well, and to play when my main guys aren't hitting. so... mark derosa and david dejesus were on the line. i got rid of derosa. he hasn't been playing as much... so i can't bank on consistency coming off the bench.

ps... i thought ken's post was right on. we were talking the other day about how it's funny how you can begin watching a game without knowing who you're gonna root for... but then without really thinking about it... you find yourself rooting for or against a team. and that's how you know. so crazy.

AND. the phillies made it above .500. i was really excited. but... now they've lost 2 games in a row... and are back at .500... 8 games behind the mets and 3 games behind the braves. LET'S GO PHILS!!!!
