    Any update on the Transit Strike ?

    Fast Eddie is trying to get them not to strike. But Septa has put out a memo to is riders on how to prepare if they do strike at midnight tonight. The Union has delayed talks until 5:30pm today. Hopefully they will "work" something out.

    FF : I am reluctantly benching the Giants D in favor of the undefeated Broncos D . If Westbrook sits I may reconsider .

    And once the Colts get up by 36 the 49ers will pass, pass pass and I'm hoping the Colts D will give Alex Smith fits.

    OK guys, which 3 of these would you start? And this is not our league...

    Miles Austin
    Mike Sims-Walker
    Brandon Jacobs
    Marshawn Lynch

    Probably Austin because the boys are going against the Sea pidgeons . With Williams being a no show I think he's becoming the #1 pass option.

    I think the Giants will try to get the running game going also ;and Jacobs will the primary runner now that it is revealed that Bradshaw has a break in his foot.

    Lynch against Houston or Sims-Walker against the not-so-Titans?

    I see the dilemna .I'm playing Lynch because I don't have a choice and he's Buffalo's only option.
    But I think Romo will go to Austin early and often.

    2 more to go.

    Yep, the Yanks are on a roll. Ordinarily I'd play starting RB's over a 3rd WR but this guy blew it wide open against the Titans the first time around. I may have to flip a coin.

    Looks like the Phillies and the Giants are both in trouble. I may yet survive this week's FF game. Otherwise a lot of fantasy studs laid big fat eggs this weekend. But did I see where Spit took down the mighty Gnats?

    FF... I gots the Bye week blues . One would think that a D from an undefeated team would be a plus on the roster .

    Giants are in meltdown. You would think they would learn by now to just hold onto the ball before half time . They get burned more often in the last 2 min of the half then any other team I've seen.

    There aren't than many stud RBs because of the split playing times . I think the flex can go either way.

    I should have went with my gut and picked up the Cowboys D on a couple of teams.

    But the good news is the Boys are on a roll. :D Romo Hit 10 different receivers yesterday and for the 1st time hasn't thrown a pick in 3 games. Roy Williams even caught a TD.

    You mean like Houston benching Slaton and Moats getting 3 td's and Sims-Walker getting a goose egg?

    Moved up to 4th place with my win over Tom this week. I can't believe that Eagles game. Phillies are going to give me a heart attack with the way they are playing. If they some how pull this out Chase Utley is going to become the unofficial mayor of Philly.

    If the Yanks could've extended the inning one more I think they would've tied it up.

    Utley's doing the job at the plate I wish Texiera was doing. Remind me to draft him for FBB . Who's pitching tomorrow ? Pedro ? Will Victorino gut it out ?
  • Nov 3, 2009, 09:05 AM

    Pedro is pitching tomorrow. Victorino is going to play tomorrow. I thought he was going to explode yesterday when Manual took him out.

    That's the feeling I had, too. If you have to consistenly score 7 runs to win championship baseball games, you are in trouble.

    I said the same thing to my wife last night. We have to score 8 or 9 runs to win and that is not good.

    CONGRATS To the Yankee's!!

    You were right about the amt of runs the Phillies would need to win. I still don't understand not using the lefty starter in 2 Yankee stadium games.

    Neither do I Tom!
