Tom gets Slutty

The dude I'm competing against this week is named Tom Patterson. We know him as Slutty Nuns, a team name that is supposed to be witty because it's an oxymoron. We all know who the real moron is, though.

Slutty Tom added Wandy Rodriguez today as a probable starter, and this is what you have to love about fantasy baseball championship week: Wandy Rodriguez is viewed as a welcomed addition. In Slutty's fairness, Wandy has been wonderful at home (Houston's Minute Maid Park) in his last two starts, posting a 14/1 K/BB ratio with just one earned run allowed in 12 2/3 innings. Those starts did come at the end of August, so will that success at home translate over to his start today, in late September? There's no telling what can happen when Wandy Rodriguez starts.

I'm currently up 5-3-2 after one day, with ERA and WHIP shaping up to be true battles. I'm ahead in ERA 4.66 to 5.14, but behind in WHIP 1.76 to Slutty's 1.43. And the rotation flux will continue as Slutty Tom and I decide which crappy starters we think might have a chance of helping us win the RedZone crown.
