Finally, Valverde and Benoit don't blow a 2 hitter by Verlander.

CRIMPS · 05-14-2012, 08:15 AM

Rangers didn't just beat the Angels last night... they embarrassed them. Rangers ERA against Weaver for his career is now at 5.22. They are scary good right now.

What has happened to the closers this year?
At least 6 have already lost their jobs, and it seems the box scores are just littered with blown saves.

Yes, tough year for Closers. I saw some stat that Bullpens have been generally bad. Not sure where I saw that, though.

Yah I have 5 closers on my fantasy team now, I had mid relief guys to collect holds and now they are all closing. I don't have enough RP spots available to use them all. Considering the 2 closers I drafted where either out for the season or on the DL, I got pretty lucky to have these closers. Let me know if you need one Dom, haha.

Mets never really had a closer to start the season with.

They didn't plan on having a lead after the first!

Tigers blew a 5-2 lead against the White Sox. Smyly stuggled for the first time. I hope he bounces back. He's been huge so far. Fielder broke out of his slump too it seems. Still not smashing but hitting at least.

They are so frustrating. The Tigers left 13 on base. I don't know the official stats but they MUST be leading the league in total LOB for this season. They were 3 for 17 with RISP!!

Mets have done a nice job so far.
They are a very scrappy team.

I really thought they would run away with that division.
There are a lot of surprises in the league if you you look at the standings.

On the positive side:

Dodgers: let's see how they do without Kemp
B'more: Just a matter of time but Buck has done a good job here
Cleveland : Lowe looks like he turned back the clock.
Cards: Albert who?

On the negative side

Boston: I thought they would take a step back, not fall of a cliff
Phills: With Utley and Howard out they couldn't hit, but I expected them to pitch. They haven't!
Reds: Decent enough, but I expected them to run away with the division
Miami: Playing better now
Angels:

There are no words!

Matt Kemp on the 15 day DL, this is gonna hurt if my slackers do not step up on my fantasy team. The Dodgers need to have Eithier play well and thankfully AJ Ellis is doing well, gonna need a couple others to step up. We have a ton of injuries right now.

CRIMPS · 05-15-2012, 10:23 AM

Cy Young candidate, Bruce Chen, shuts down the Rangers.

Paul Konerko hits HR #400 in a White Sox uniform, 48 behind Frank now.

Just gotta say Nice Game Mets!

Sad day for Cub fans, 12 losses in a row.

The White Sox can at least make Chicago proud
