Gosh…this is fun. Missed every single target and the team moved fully into the mid-pack morass. https://media.tenor.com/97rFk0pxEBYAAAAM/help-i've-fallen-and-i-can't-get-up.gif Bright spots? None for the bats unless you count Rowdy Tellez’s whopping two HR. Of course that comes with a 0.214 BA in fi...

Well, this just sucks…to represent what my bats have been doing for two weeks…. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/031/962/489.gif https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NWufXqWen34/U0mLdfl200I/AAAAAAAAAGs/rOyQWBLSynw/s1600/plane-crash-o.gif https://c.tenor.com/zzd7SGAdCxYAAAAC/tenor.gif You get t...

Anatomy of a starting pitching slump. After the first two and a half weeks, pitching wise all was good and ERA/WHIP was pristine. Over the last three weeks? https://gifdb.com/images/high/gag-stink-four-christmases-ycc2nmom04grwt5l.gif In those three weeks, my team has had twenty –six games started, ...

Amazing what a difference a day makes. Every once in a great while (at least for me) you have “that” night. And my team did and what was a good, grind out those counting stats week into a great week. Saturday night my team generated eight home runs…given we are looking for 11-13 HR a week, that was ...

Three and a half weeks in and we have all been second guessing ourselves for a while now. Normally, I feel it is May before the “personality” of the compiled draft teams really show. At that time, we can try to remember “what the hell was I thinking” and the resultant conclusions of “why did I pick ...

Still early, but the different teams’ rosters are firming up and certain experiments are falling by the wayside. In the “real” world of fantasy baseball, the experiments are being dropped and the injuries are (as always) creating roster crunches to be alleviated (we hope) with some insightful (we ho...

What a great weekend! Attended the Strider start in Gwinnett and he looked…good. They pulled Strider exactly at 75 pitches, which was mid-batter. That told me then there was at least one more start in the minors (confirmed by later reports). Working fastball/slider most of the night, Strider had suf...

Where has the season gone! Seems like only last week we were in Vegas… https://cdn.quotesgram.com/img/94/25/444198703-5-Dazed-and-Confused-quotes.gif We all wait with baited breath to see who will emerge as the Major League Baseball Home Run Champion….a tight race with only one dinger separating Jud...

Bwuhahahahahahah! Oh crap...forgot I have him on my Auction team...dammmit! Yeah...nice to see Pasquatch playing but really hated to see Lowe get hurt.

Damn obliques....

Ahh spring is around the corner in the NE when you see the crocus and forsythia bloom and Wayne's Blog hit the newsstand. All to soon whither and blow away like Wayne's Blog in May! Hope you keep it running all season, Wayne! What are the signs of spring in the south, alligators and snakes coming o...

Time to get excited.... https://bestanimations.com/media/baseball/1944440212funny-baseball-fans-animated-gif-2.gif I can't tell you exactly how it will play out... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c9/39/9a/c9399abaf038c0bf1d902370e00c2de3.gif But somehow, it feels a little electric today! https://gifd...

Now the waiting again as eleven more pitchers went in the next twenty-four picks, all of them good. I had hoped for a chance a resurgent Robbie Ray, but was denied by James Maples. Available to me was Luis Castillo, who is more than just a “solid” pick, at 31 still has a really good chance at 200 K’...

The Draft I do not have as many teams as others. One, too many teams and it becomes like work. Second, I have a hard time feeling really vested if there are so many teams to track. I am not saying others are less vested the more teams they have…it is just me. I end up feeling more engaged in “my” te...

And baseball….I will focus here, as I used too, on the Main. This year especially as I may have truly screwed myself, again, in the Auction. Note to self: NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER leave money on the table. https://media.tenor.com/AXHvZ3VKfE0AAAAC/are-you-stupid-or-something.gif ADP Another testamen...

A couple of folks asked about or remember my blog fondly, so I have been thinking of trying my hand again. I haven’t written much since I retired and though I have time, it seems it hasn’t been on the top of my list to do. It may take several hours to dribble 500 or 1,000 words. Thinking back, I was...

Great job on the league selection video...I really enjoyed it.

Greg, I think this is awesome. Yes, some are going to bitch and moan because they ignored or didn't read your email completely, but this kind of brings me back to the early years monitoring the message board looking for your league and draft pick. Again...awesome! https://gifrific.com/wp-content/upl...

The check is in the mail....

Thank you Tom!

It'll be done today. Don't worry we plan on taking everyone's money. :) Just needed to get some things done internally so missed the deadline by one day. Look for all that to be done at some point today. Tom, Just got your email. Just so I do not double dip, do you want me to cut a check, per your ...

Hey Tom...haven't seen my charges run on the card on record. Just want to make sure I pay on time.....

Well, since Mike has stopped watching those "Hee-Haw" reruns long enough to set this up (and thanks Greg), I guess I am in for the party!

I bloody HATE the Dodgers!

Awesome Clark! Congrats!

If you have never watched the indy movie "A Woman Under the Infulence", written and directed by John Cassavetes, starring Gena Rowlands, you have missed a truly great film. Ms. Rowlands was one of the best of the best... My families deepest sympathis to you and your family Nick. https://m.media-amaz...
