The roto gods giveth and they taketh away…..
After I opined about Miles and Barmes…Miles went 4 for 5 with an RBI and 3 runs. Barmes was 1 for 5 with a run….and was the only hit on my entire team that evening (1 for 29 I think). But hey, Young (not on that roster) was wonderful for the Rangers!!!!

Tim Stauffer makes his debut for the Pads in the Great American Bandbox…but against the hapless Paul Wilson. Sounds like some bad baseball to be had there.
Normally Prior vs. Victor Zambrano would be a slam dunk…and may be. But the Mutts have been showing some life particularly from Cameron and Piazza recently. The scrubbies haven’t been exactly bad…but…
Zito in Fenway? Not as bad as it might seem since the Sox have been a mixed bag offensively and Clement has been better than I, at least, expected.
Oswalt vs. Willis seems like the Marquee matchup, Oswalt says his foot feels better, I guess we’ll see.
Aaron Boone was allowed to bat in the ninth against KRod in a one run game. In politics one would jokingly say he must have the pictures. He’s hitting 130-something and doing second inning bunts with 2 outs these days. It’s ugly.
Chan Ho Park had another good game so take out your water witch and ouija board for his next start.
Tino Martinez will be a hot pick up after his fourth HR in as many days. I picked him up. With this talk of Giambi going to the minors (and saving the Yanks 36k per DAY in revenue sharing/luxury tax by the way), he’s not a great play…but probably a good play for the 1B differently abled teams, particularly AL only.
