The Jonny Gomes gravy train has stopped running long ago. He has shoulder problems, and won't be starting in any non-DH interleague games because he can't throw the ball. None of this can be good. I think it only gets worse from here. I replaced him with Raul Ibanez. I'm not too excited about the Mariners' anemic 1-2 punch of Ibanez and Sexson in my lineup, but it is what it is right now. I also cut Tony Armas, Jr., as he had only had one quality start in his last six starts. I added Enrique Gonzalez from the D-Backs, whose first four starts have been impressive. He will likely pitch on Sunday afternoon in Texas. Doesn't matter too much because my pitching stats appear to be shot for the week, thanks to Armas and D-Train yesterday.

I'm still liquidating longs right now. I got a good bounce in one today. That saved me a little money, anyway. And I just got short in FITB. It broke down yesterday out of a symmetrical triangle that formed over a 9 month period. I need to pay attention to this side of the market. I think there are some opportunities to be had shorting right now. I've certainly missed enough of them lately, anyway.

Ibanez will never really hurt you. Professional hitter, and almost an RBI per game over the last month. I like the move, especially with Gomes dinged up and headed for NL parks.
