PrintWhat's happened so far:
- Rob is no longer homeless, but has no idea what actually happened
- Duane Below's dad had a bug fly into both eyes at once. No, he wasn't crying; not at all.
- Don Kelly hit a triple.
- Hideki Matsui has killed the Tigers tonight, going 3-for-4 with 3 RBI.
- David Purcey screwed up big time: 3 batters faced, 3 walks (h/t thepartybird) in a 4-run 7th inning for the A's.
- Duane Below jokes... lots of them
- bmark6197 is going to Vegas, so place your bets everyone.
- Google+ and WTF it actually is
- The weather and booze, naturally.
- Baroque yelling in all caps about something, possibly Purcey-related

I want to know
how many negative fantasy points David Purcey just scored. You know, if you were in fact stupid enough to have him on your team.

I just got home from work, the land of no internet
And Dan and Jim didn’t say anything about it while Below was giving up an infield single to Matsui with the bases loaded. And no one gave me Cliffs Notes. But more importantly….who did we give up?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

two prospects
A catcher from Lakeland (I think) and a lefty pitcher. There are a couple posts on the front page of BYB with the details.

Yes, it was Purcey-related. Multiple walks make me furious – if you are going to put them on, smack them in the ass with a fastball instead of mincing around the strikezone like a skittish songbird and walking people.
Hence, I called him a worthless bag of donkey dicks.

Maybe the splits aren't saying it this year
But hasn’t Victor just slaughtered lefties in the past? I seem to recall something like that when he was in Boston.
I think he hit around .400 against lefties last year

For his career
which I’d say is a useful sample size, he hits pretty much for the same success against lefties and righties.

It seems like whenever V-Mart is up in a scoring spot, he either gets the big hit or he hits into a double play
I guess that’s what comes from being a good but slow hitter

Jim Leyland had no business using Purcey with a two run lead in the 7th inning
An average fan can see that Purcey is a very mediocre pitcher. That’s why he was DFA’d by the Jays. He’s wild, often ineffective, and when he doesn’t have it, he needs to be yanked.
Leyland had a lot to do with blowing this lead. Very, very poor managing, IMO.
