I was worried that Carlos Guillen was hurt yesterday, but through internet searches that would have been unnecessary if my browsers worked properly I found out that Carlos Guillen is healthy enough for him play baseball. His wife, unfortunately, is not. The latest news that I have read said that she had "complications" following childbirth and Carlos was supposed to be back in the Detroit lineup today. John Larish (Who? Exactly) is playing third today which could mean that something is seriously wrong with Carlos Guillen's wife. Which would lead to yet another serious problem with my fantasy season. It would be worse for Carlos and is family, but still bad for me and this blog is about me and my vicarious baseball life.
I do have nine other hitters in my starting lineup that did play yesterday, and they played well. Each got at least one hit, and they totalled 9 runs scored and 9 runs batted in and four home runs and a .455 average. Unfortunately, when baseballs are hit hard somebody has to be pitching, and I had a few pitchers pitching last night. Zack Greinke was terrible, Tim Hudson was mediocre but got tons of run support and won, and Ted Lilly pitcher well but the Cubs didn't hit for him and he lost. Having pitchers on supposedly good offensive teams not get run support when they should have won the game has been a recurring motif in this season long fantasy nightmare. There's a good chance it'll happen again today, but possibly without the pitching well part.
Time, and the ESPN fantasy baseball box score feature, will tell.
