Week Seven

Week 7 was not as kind as week 6. In one league, I was crushed 9-3 by the team in second to last place. The main culprit was the return to form of Lance Berkman. By "form" I of course mean his season long slump. At this point in the season, he has hit 1 (one) double. Just one.

He's not alone, as this team is just being dragged down by the terribility (new word) of Konerko, JD Drew, Atkins and Berkman. They are killing me. KILLING ME. Felipe Lopez, the leadoff hitter for the worst offense in baseball has more homers and RBI's right now than JD Drew, the number 5 hitter on the best team in baseball.

Lance Berkman is fucking terrible. TERRIBLE.

For the week, this little team hit a mear .248 with an OPS of .766. But hey, at least the team I was playing finished the week with an ERA of 1.78, so that was easy to keep up with. But those things will happen against guys who start Jeff Francis in Colorado and Cliff Lee. Sure. Why not.

Also, Ichiro stole 8 bases this week. 8 bases. That's fun.

Side note: I feel I may have made my first and worst bad roster decision. As I was on my way out the door on Friday, I thought about adding Youkilis, who has been pretty hot these last few days. I was rushed, and I didn't do it, temporarily deciding to hold onto to struggling starter Dave Bush instead. I woke up on Saturday and immediately realized my folly, only to then find that someone else had added Youkilis. Of course, it's the guy I'm playing next week. Hopefully, this won't come back to bite me.
