Movestown, Population Me

Ah, the season is so young and one should just rest on their wonderful laurels and watch their teams statistics grow. That is, unless you own Mike Gonzalez and Brian Fuentes for your closers, and realize right off the bat if you don’t trade for saves you’ll be pulling a solid 1 or 2 [...]

Makin’ Moves

The first week of fantasy baseball is coming to a close, and my team is wonderfully hot and cold. One night I bash four homers (with 2 on the bench!), the next none. Thus is the first week.
Also, it happened again. Mike Cameron, on my bench, terrible career stats versus Randy Johnson. [...]

The Yostest with the Mostest

Admittedly, I have a problem, and that’s beyond the idea that I spend my time reading baseball garbage day in and day out.
Ned Yost is on a mission. He would like to be the National League’s version of Ozzie Guillen, and so far, so good. Kind of. How about this [...]

Terrible Managers

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. [...]

Getting Jonesed

I think everyone who spends their time accumulating make-believe statistics has had this moment, which happened to ME of all people last night:
Me: Hmm…Jermaine Dye has been sucking butt this year. But he did hit a homer the other night…but I’ll bench him tonight. He’s probably still slumping.
Reality: Hi, yeah, you should’ve started [...]

Fall From Grace: Ghost of Pedro

Fun. My team has been in shambles the past week, culminating with the impressive loss of potential you ace Yovanni Gallardo. This is the kind of injury that is back-breaking. And corrosively obnoxious considering the guy only gave up FOUR RUNS IN 20 INNINGS AND RECEIVED THREE RUNS OF SUPPORT. Brutal.
Every [...]

Really? Seriously? Yes, another Lohse Post

I’m not sure what to say anymore. Kyle Lohse should at this point be sucking balls to the tune of a 16.00 ERA and a 9.00 WHIP. Why dear god is he already blanking the Brewers and, what’s that, AN RBI SINGLE in this fucking game?
Granted the Brewers aren’t the hottest-hitting team in [...]

A Very Beardy Update

Although you may not be able to tell, the beard behind the glove belongs to the face of Corey Hart. You may remember my impassioned letter to Ned Yost asking that he switch Bill Hall and Hart’s line-up sports, as having a guy who hits .200 and only occassionally hits a home run may [...]

Taint!

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 [...]
