0 Points: But a 4.5 Point Lead

Francisco Cordero allowed 4 runs, spoiling what was an otherwise solid fantasy day. My team didn't hit for average, but JJ Hardy homered and I got great production from my Rockies as Holliday and Taveras stole bases before Fuentes got the save, his 20th on my roster.

Ricky Nolasco wasn't great, but he was going up against the Mets on the road, and, for the second time in 2 weeks he pitched well against them. I don't want to nit-pick, but if there's a bit of a hole in Nolasco's game it's the home run ball. He's allowed 22 of them in just under 150 innings, including 2 in each of his last 2 starts.
The White Sox have burned me too many times this year for me to start Dice-K against them. Even if he goes 7IP, 2H, 4BB, 7K, W it's not worth the risk for me when I have other ways of picking up the innings.
And the Vernon Wells photo's there because he's my latest pickup. I'm hoping he can be the bat I was looking for at the deadline.
