Today’s Baffling Signing

Posted in Baseball Baseball, Fantasy Baseball, Hot Stove/Dutch Oven, tagged , , on January 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Ah, nothing makes me happier in 2009 than a solid baffle.
Derrick Turnbow, he of the “Once a closer, now a hoser” fame, has been gaining attention from teams interested in his services. According to Rotoworld, up to five major league teams were pursuing him at one point during the off-season. Well, that’s pathetic.

Hello, It’s Me

Posted in Fantasy Baseball, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 1, 2008 | 6 Comments »

After suffering through a number of serious mental health maladies related to my team and its inherent sucktitude, I’m back!  And so is my team, currently battling for 3rd place.  The league is so tight, that within a week I could probably be back in 10th place, but I refuse to accept the chaos of [...]

Terrible Managers

Posted in Fantasy Baseball, tagged , , on May 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

There should be a sub-header reading, “That I Hate More Than Anyone Should,” because it’s true. Just watching baseball for what it is, certain managers stick out in one’s mind: Ozzie Guillen, Tony Larussa, Don Baylor…
But concerning fantasy baseball, there is a certain kind of coach that can single-handedly destroy a fantasy season. [...]

The next Ervin Santana and Johnny Cueto pitch like men possessed. Cueto was human, but I watched that game; the Cubs are H-O-T-T HOTT! I took a huge [...]

Then you should go right ahead and visit this site, where a Barry Zito calculator will tell you how long you’ll have to work at your current profession to reach the zenith that is Barry’s 126 million dollar contract. I’d tell you my results, but a debilitating bout of depression and existential angst prevents [...]

Where I’m at

Posted in Fantasy Baseball, tagged , on April 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I’m in two leagues, a standard 12 team 5X5 roto and a 10 team Head-to-Head league. Both are insanely competitive (no matter what Shatraw/Cockcroft say), and I find myself taking stock of my teams as April is almost over.
I’m currently on hold in 4th place in the Roto league (despite Shatraw’s ridiculous “Your team [...]

Taint!

Posted in Baseball Baseball, Fantasy Baseball, tagged , , , on April 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Paul Bako was definitely hit in the taint just now.
Good god. And he’s still catching.
Cueto is getting owned by Jason Kendall. Also, I really dislike Kenji Johjima right now. He just threw it into the outfield, allowing BJ Upton to score from home on a double steal. Idiot. And Bedard [...]
