Put on the DL.......

[sharky17]

Well Fellas, not sure if it's the 15 day DL, but I have put myself on the shelf for a few days. The totals below are as much for my own sake as anything, but here are the cold hard facts:

YTD 67-50 (+1761) [not close again tonight with the Dodgers]

Apr 2-1 (+85)
May 38-26 (+1260)
June 27-23 (+416)

As some of you may have noticed, I've been very, VERY cold lately, (proves the whole theory that figures can lie and liars can figure) but a good start has kept my head very much above water. I am not complaining, as I know these slumps are a part of what we do, so I am taking a few days off and trying to regroup after interleague is done for this weekend.

Anyway, I am away for the weekend, and it appears it couldn't come at a better time to get me away from a computer. I'm off on a canoe/camping trip, and believe me, I'm not exactly an outdoorsman. However, my buddy and I will have the "onboard" cooler stocked, and will have our portable radio to listen to the Jays and Expos while floating down the river.

As always, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE, and have a great weekend,

Sharky

Sharky you are a class act and have been great in this forum...I like your attitude and your posts are well informed and humorous also......you seem to know your stuff and doesnt matter who you are,you will hit a slump....like you said regroup and suck some down and enjoy the outdoors and come back with a refreshed mind......I have been in a season long slump so I know exactly how you feel....good luck to ya and look forward to when you comeback.....speaking of the Jays I think I love the under on friday night

Hang in there Bud! Nothing helps more than to take a few days off to cool down. You have had a solid start to the season and i am sure it will continue! I agree with you about intraleague games...i have a very tough time capping them no matter what the situation happens to be. I will try the first games this weekend and if i fail i will sit on the sidelines till they are over...

Keep your head up

Sharky,

We all go through the slump -- I started the year smoking as well and now have sat hovering at the even mark for over a month. It happens, and baseball is a crazy game at times with the streaks teams go on, both good and bad.

For a guy that just showed up this season I think you've left quite a mark around here -- not only in your ability to pick winners but with insightful write ups and knowledge of the game. Come back when you're ready, there is always room for a solid capper around here.

PS --- that trip on the boat sounds cool, but come on, listening to the Expos on the radio has got to be brutal. They are painful to watch let alone just listen to.

Plus a nickel in June is my kind of slump
