Today’s Roto Riteup celebrates readers in the championship matchup of the 2013 season. I myself have a team in the finals this week, and I’m hoping Adam Wainwright’s two scheduled starts lift me to a title.
On today’s agenda:
1. Miguel Cabrera’s groin ain’t good
2. Shin-Soo Choo to return tonight
3. Jacoby Ellsbury back Wednesday or Thursday
4. Some thoughts on A.J. Burnett
5. Joe Mauer progressing
Today’s Roto Riteup is being written in the wake of a 12-hour work shift. Exhaustion is something that can be cured by good craft beers, right?
On today’s agenda:
1. The return of Jason Heyward
2. Welcome back, David Wright
3. Hanley Ramirez to miss some time
4. Stephen Strasburg to start today

Welcome to a special edition of the Friday Roto Riteup. “Why is it special,” you ask? Well, esteemed colleague Professor Pony is out being nerdy this morning, so you get me instead!
On today’s agenda:
1. Felix Hernandez to start Sunday
2. Jered Weaver gets scratched from today’s start
3. Clay Buchholz pushed up to Saturday
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
In a surprise twist, “Fun with Arbitrary Endpoints” has been put off until Friday’s edition of the Roto Riteup due to a glut of roto relevant information today.
On today’s agenda:
1. Hanley Ramirez day-to-day
2. Jason Heyward takes BP
3. Yonder Alonso likely out for the year
4. Tim Beckham called up
5. Jose Abreu granted residency in Haiti
Today’s Roto Riteup chooses to ignore the fact that David Wiers did not proclaim the absolute virtue of King Felix Hernandez when given the opportunity yesterday.
On today’s agenda:
1. No surgery for Matt Harvey
2. Clayton Kershaw to get some added rest
3. Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Cecil are done for the season
4. Starling Marte is back
Today’s Roto Riteup is unofficially brought to you by the Harpoon’s UFO White that the present author enjoyed while writing.

1. Cliff Lee’s ridiculous day
2. Felix Hernandez’s start gets pushed back
3. The return of Matt Kemp
4. Welcome back, Sean Marshall

Today’s Roto Riteup is sponsored by tonight’s sub-par Monday Night Football offering. Instead of watching the Bengals beat up on the old Steelers, why not partake in a baseball game on your television?
On today’s agenda:
1. Johnny Cueto returns to the mound today
2. Jake Odorizzi to come up this week
3. Stephen Strasburg should make a start this week
4. Cory Luebke shuts down rehab
Four days from today will mark the 23rd anniversary of the classic film Goodfellas. The trailer, as good as it is (warning: language, violence, etc.), scarcely does the film justice.
On today’s agenda:
1. Another rough outing for CC Sabathia
2. Johnny Cueto’s looming return
3. A strong finish for Denard Span?

Today is Friday the 13th. If you happen to be the superstitious type, or maybe one that happens to believe in hokey religions, just know that Han Solo thinks otherwise.
On today’s agenda:
1. Angel Pagan is still hitting, still available
2. Another week in the boot for Allen Craig
3. Mark Reynolds keeps hitting
4. The lateness of Adam LaRoche

The present author would like to apologize to the readership for the lack of a Roto Riteup yesterday. Unfortunately there is no grand story of woe or excessive partying; instead, the author fell asleep in front of the television watching old shows on Netflix.
On today’s agenda:
1. Bryce Harper returns
2. Paul Maholm, Alex Wood both scratched
3. Derek Jeter to DL, season over
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
