20 Days to Pitchers and Catchers... How hungry are you?

Season ends in disappointment

In a performance that can only be felt like Mets fans on this day, the LickerStore AllStars have a long and lonely off season to look forward to. Thank you Justin Morneau. You are a complete fuck head.

CHAMPIONS

I'd like to thank the academy, Caleb for trading me A-rod, Justin Morneau for his phenomenal second half, and Joe Nathan for a day bad enough to move Andrew behind me in WHIP.

One year, one championship. After all the barbs taken at my NL style draft, I will be laughing the longest now my friends....all off season. Let the dynasty begin.

To win...

I need two runs, one RBI, and one stolen base to tie Spencer. Christ, if I have a half-way decent day today I could have easily wrapped it up. Time is starting to run out in the late games though...

Game Blog

This about writes the book for the Licker Store AllStars. A very disappointing end to the season. A measly thirteen uninspired at bats on the final day. Bill still has a shot with Kinser and Beltre in the late afternoon game and needs a win from Robertson and a ND or loss from Gaudin....



Jeter, Sizemore, and Hafner taken out of the game. Not good.

Coming down to the wire... A home run will pull me into a tie for first.

Hmmm... Delmon Young into the game. This guy is a head case.

Fields hit a two run home run off the glove of magglio. four to three tiger lead. Pete rose now four rbi back.

Robertson pitching well. Detroit leading four to one in the fifth.

Dye drives in a run. Spencer desperately trying to stay withing striking distance of Youk in RBI. 6 back at Three Twenty EDT

Mora scores. LS 5 runs behind Y

(Three PM) Youk on fire. Guillen hits a home run. Youk now 6 runs ahead of LS.

Pronk doubles in two runs. Tied with the Hoboes in rbi now.

Mags doubles in a run.... Spencer three rbi behind Youk.

So far, Spencer has no one on the bench... Bill has four and I have three. [edit] Johjima is out.

A-Rod playing on the last day of the season... and get an RBI on a flopper... Jeter scores.

Homerun Carlos Pena. Damn this guy is good. Anyone could have had him too. Youk takes the lead in HR.

And Youk draws first blood

Unsurprisingly he does it with a homerun from Carlos Pena. I nearly picked up Pena early in the season and instead opted for Dan Johnson. I figure I'd have about 60 points by now if I snagged Pena.

Mea Culpa

Earlier this season I objected to someone's suggestion (via BP) that I was due to get just 6 homeruns out of Gary Sheffield in the second half of the season.

I got 4. My bad. Thanks Gary.
