Here is my roster from a 12-team experts draft with deep, weekly rosters (5 OF, CI, MI, 2 C, etc.) post-trade I just made (I traded Carlos Santana ($25) + Carlos Carrasco ($1) for Shin-Soo Choo ($23) + Kyle Drabek ($3)). My team should be really good in June...
C-Joe Mauer ($30)
C-Brian McCann ($24)
1B-Freddie Freeman ($1)
2B-Chase Utley ($31)
SS-Hanley Ramirez ($49)
3B-Adrian Beltre ($24)
MI-Mike Aviles ($4)
CI-Chipper Jones ($1)
OF1-Shin-Soo Choo ($23)
OF2-Carlos Beltran ($4)
OF3-Franklin Gutierrez ($1)
OF4-Johnny Damon ($1)
OF5-Dustin Ackley ($1)
UT-Mike Moustakas ($3)
SP-Ubaldo Jimenez ($17)
SP-Mat Latos ($19)
RP-Jonathan Broxton ($9)
RP-Brandon Lyon ($3)
P-Luke Gregerson ($2)
P-Rafael Soriano ($2)
P-Jonny Venters ($1)
P-Brandon Webb ($1)
P-Mike Minor ($1)
BN-Kyle Drabek ($3)
BN-Joba Chamberlain ($2)
BN-Michael Pineda ($1)
BN-Dallas Braden ($1)
BN-Juan Francisco ($1)
As you can probably tell, I'm not exactly proud of this roster. Certain major buys of mine (Beltre for $24, Latos for $19, Broxton for $9) felt really stupid in hindsight when guys like Ian Kennedy went late for $2, only three other closers went for $9 or more, and Michael Young went for a measly $8. My "get elite catchers, shortstops and closers" strategy also went limp...this is a poor stars and scrubs team, but it projects for elite batting average, which will give me waiver wire flexibility as I try to Frankenstein together a team.

Best 2 minutes in NBA history
Stephen Jackson had himself one hell of a 2 minute stretch. He managed to put up 10 shots in those 2 minutes, made 5. Plus had time to assist on another 3 buckets. Damn. He also had a +21 rating in those 2 minutes. Haven't seen that type of a performance since Jon Scheyer back in Glenbrooke North
Bulls Historic Collapse
For the first time all year, I actually enjoyed watching the Bulls game. In the first half, they simply could not miss from the field. The team shot 75% in the first quarter and scored a season high 67 points in the first half to take a 25 point lead. Shot chart shows the 1st quarter totals with only 4 missed shots
The best half of basketball was highlighted by this Derrick Rose dunk. Kid has some hops
After a solid start to the 3rd, the Bulls jumped to a 35 point lead 79-44! This game was in the bag. Turn off the television the game is OVA. In fact, I did turn the TV off but still had it running on the tivo cause I have seen some crazy stuff in my life. Later in the night I decided to see just how badly the Bulls were able to destroy the Kings.
Fast forwarding through the game, the lead started shrinking little by little. Loul Deng went back to taking contested 20 foot jumpers. John Salmons was missing 7 foot leaners. Gibson and Noah were mishandling clear rebounds. Basically, the Bulls were waiting for the game clock to expire and go home with a 3 game winning streak. Unfortunately, Tyreke Evans and the Kings had other things in mind. Chipping away at the lead with open 3's, easy layups and those valuable free throws, they finally cut the lead to below 10 with 4 minutes to go. The Bulls just played scared. A young team that doesnt know how to finish. Everyone in the stadium knew how this game was going to end. The Bulls lost the lead, the game, and any self-respect they may have had. Getting outscored 33-10 in the final quarter sealed the deal. The shot chart shows the Bulls only put up 6 shots in the 4th. I don't even know how that's possible
That's how you lose a 35 point lead in an NBA game. Unfortunately, it's not a record or anything, yet no less pathetic. Also, there is no WPA equivalent in the NBA, but there are graphs with numbers so thats good.

More Captcha Fail
So I was trying to add a comment on my post about a few guys who were snubbed during the all-star voting and forgot to log in and thus needed to enter a captcha to post my comments. Take a look at what the captcha read...
For those of you who don't speak spanish, "Chinga" means fuck. This is almost as funny as the time I tried to buy Brewers tickets online.

PTI Fail
I was watching Pardon The Interruption (PTI) this afternoon and during "Oddsmakers" they asked Tony and Mike, "What are the odds that Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman extends his 30 game hitting streak an extra ten games?" Mike give him a 15% chance and Tony gave him a 10%
A hour or two earlier the Nationals game had ended and Zimemrman did not extend his hitting streak to 31 games. In fact on the scroll on the bottom of the screen has mentioned this fact a handful of times throughout the broadcast.
Good job fellas.
