By now, four plus weeks in, our teams are showing us their true natures. Mine, as expected, has my sticks keeping me in the game. My team is scoring well in the counting stats (55.0 out of 60.0 possible points). Average is however lagging. Really down are my catchers, Murphy OAK (who came out of the...

None baseball musing….There is a scary and quite frankly disconcerting medical pandemic occurring in the Atlanta media market. Not COVID, and I do not know if this horror is in your area or not, but given the amount of commercial air time given to it, both on radio and television, it must be that th...

Test

Bleeech! Well that was certainly a floater in the punch bowl. Constantly amazed at how a team can go from hot to ice cold in a week. https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.1392d3199b0c537bee643952c4120c29?rik=qn3k9P%2bj4gafpw&pid=ImgRaw&r=0 I still have not been able to generate 300 AB as the team has been wal...

This is great Tom. Thanks!

Gotta love it when a plan comes together. At least in part. Lead by Buxton (who ended up with a week’s worth of stats in two games), Bellinger (thanks to Sunday’s performance…Is he really back?...I guess we will really know when the Dodgers start moving him up from the 7th spot in the order), and Ch...

Where I go to swim is a nice, fairly new facility. The other early morning denizens are generally pretty old (ok, older). If we were more familiar, the other swimmers could call me “Kid”. The staff at the aquatic center keep the pool in good shape (i.e. no oily Ben Gay film on the surface of the wat...

Week 1 - We made it through the first four days of the season… https://media.tenor.co/images/5499610b44d9ece632839922b16cde4c/tenor.gif Ummm….not really. Three inning or four inning starts with short pitch counts and maybe two to four earned runs. Yee…freakin’…haw! Just makes me want to PARTY! https...

I just scored a bottle of Thomas H Handy Sazerac and Jack Daniel’s Coy Hill High Proof in the Ohio Bottle lotteries in December and March. Very pleased. Next year, I would enjoy walking a couple miles with you before we draft. Can’t promise the parade but the early morning drunks on the Strip provi...

Another shout out to Dan Semsel. Dan and I have much in common. We love fantasy baseball and we are both hard of hearing. However, there are some differences: 1) Dan knows what he is doing related to fantasy baseball as he has been co-champion of this thing. 2) I do not wear kilts. 3) Dan served his...

Thanks for the shout out, my friend. Your CI plan brought a tear to my eye (sniffle) Missed you in Vegas! Hope I’ll see you there next year You can make bank on me being in Vegas next year! Missed you guys too! No one in the neighborhood can make a kilt work like you can! https://c.tenor.com/R8GAmB...

The Fun (or “Fund” if it does not work) Begins. I had KDSed 13-14-15 as my preference because the type of player I wanted in the first ten rounds seem to fall there better than any other slot or at least gave me the shot to reach for the players I wanted. After ten rounds, the probabilities are so v...

I missed writing this blog! The last couple of years have been rough as my job and losses to the family (Mom January 2021) have made things…and we all go through it at times…rough. But all that is, hopefully, behind me now. And effective EOB April 1st (no fooling) I am retired (at least semi)! No mo...

Man alive...congrats Greg! Has to be a huge monkey of the team's back. Exceeding expectations...what a rarity these days...you guys are working your assess off but have fun in Vegas anyway!

Bob Mazur in the house! He's a wildman!

Damn Dan...sorry to hear that. But knowing you, you will figure a way to have fun with your walker!

Freddie Freeman to the freakin' Dodgers...the DODGERS! A sin...an absolute sin...Los Angeles!

One report from Passan at ESPN have Braves trading four for Olson, which means Freddy to LAD I guess...



Yes...I am PISSED!!!!! First the bloody strike and now THIS!!!!

Congrats Greg (and all)!

Bout damn time....

Ah man...I kind of miss them already!

Yup...since 2004, before this year the one stub year online, one in Chicago, two or three in Florida, and one in New York. Otherwise all Vegas baby! Thanks for the kind wishes, Greg. Painful, but necessary decision. Work is killing me so if anyone wants at least one dead money participant in their o...

Gonna miss you guys this year...I am doing online only...not because of COVID (though the airlines have been really stupid during all of this and I am in no mood to get attitude with my greyhound with wings), but because I have had to extend my retirement date out (I am out soon and will not extend ...

"MLB commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed Thursday that the owners and players have agreed to instituting the universal DH. It won't become official until a new collective bargaining agreement is put in place, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now that the designated hitter would be arr...
