A few of the weird and wonderful things thought, heard, and said in Fantasy Baseball....

'Just suck till Sunday, then you can hit like I know you can!'-

The thought of a faaber who has found a 'secret weapon'.

'LEAVE HIM IN!'-

Words heard as a starter is pinch hit for while down 1-0 in the seventh inning.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

'TAKE HIM OUT!'-

Words heard as a starter has already given up seven runs and 10 hits in the third inning.

'FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUHLEEEEESE TAKE HIM OUT!'

Same guy, two batters later.

'How is your fantasy team doing?'

'That ass****!'-

Same player, after being dropped and playing well for another team in your league.

'Hey, at least I got the W!'-

The Silver Lining Guy-
This is said after taking a risky two-start pitcher and seeing ERA and WHIP rise to new heights.

'Why in the Hell does he bring in MY Closer with a four run lead!'-

Every fantasy baseball player in the universe has uttered these words.
Right, Heath Bell owners?

This is said when the real life Manager realizes that the leadoff man has been sucking before the fantasy owner realizes the same thing.

Another couple spoken while watching the Rangers play Oakland last night...

Owning Coco Crisp...

Go on this pitch...damn...ok, so go on this pitch....damn....so go on this pitch....damn...ok so go on this pitch...There he goes!....Dammit Weeks, what're you swingin' for? He had that stolen!
Ok there he goes again! He's got it!.....ok, now steal third....

Owning Michael Young...

For the Love of God, do something!....Man, if the Rangers had signed Prince, you probably wouldn't even be starting.....Fifth round, I took him in the fifth round, DOH!!....He's not Michael Young, he's Michael Old!

Owning Mike Napoli....

Where's Napoli?......He plays first, he dh's and he still gets more 'rest' than most catchers....NAPoli is more like it!.....

Owning Brian Fuentes....

There's Fuentes warming up, that reminds me, I have to get rid of him this Sunday....

Owning Joe Nathan...

Here comes Nathan....At home.....Against the weak hitting A's....Should be a piece of cake....Why can't I stop twitching?....Oh crap, that's a baserunner.....Dammit! Another!......Whew! He got the save!......I knew it was in the bag!
