Dear Diary....

[DOUGHBOYS]

Dear Diary, April 1-
I've met the girl of my dreams! She's beautiful. She's athletic. Her hair, arms, and legs are all so long. I believe I have found the girl of my dreams!

(Fantasy draft completed)

Dear Diary, April 2-
Maybe it was the way she was dressed or a different way she did her hair, but she didn't look as appealing today.

(opening day, 2 pitchers bombed, a .216/2/0/3/0 hitting line)

Dear Diary, May 3-
If I want to get the girl of my dreams, I'd better do something about it!
There's like eight other guys trying to court her!
C'mon Man, get it together! You can do this!

(a disappointing ninth place so far)

Dear Diary, June 4-
She's talking with me every day now! And I think she's even flirting with me.
I love her. I really do

(The team is hot, no injuries, everybody hitting and pitching well. The team has propelled itself to second place)

Dear Diary, June 18-
Woo hoo! We're dating! I think this is the girl I'd like to spend the rest of my life with!

(First place)

Dear Diary, July 4-
Harumph! Some 4th of July! I saw my girl in the arms of another man! And we'd been dating for two weeks. Plus, she went out and got a tattoo! I hate tattoo's! Blecchh!

(Passed for first place by a hot team. Losing the second round draft choice for the rest of the year due to injury. A black mark for the team)

Dear Diary, July 31-
Screw her! I never wanted her anyway! At least she screwed over the guy that replaced me and is seeing somebody else!
Now, I'm wondering if she's just a slut, willing to go out with anybody with pants on. And, a second tattoo too!
SLUT!

(More teams have passed as the team falls back down to fifth place. A second major injury has occurred and it isn't being covered too well)

Dear Diary, August 23-
What a crazy world! She's flirting with me again! Now, she has a reputation as 'being with other guys', but somehow, that makes her a little more attractive to me. All along I had thought of her as a life partner. Maybe I should change my goal and just try to have sex with her.

(The team has come back and is in a tie for first place, but the standings are top heavy with a seemingly new leader every day. Realization that faab has become more important as drafted players continue to get hurt.)

Dear Diary, September 10-
I'm never doing this again!
Girls suck! I mean, I still love her, but she's driving me crazy! She flirts with everybody that has a penis!
Being 17 and in love isn't all it's cracked up to be! Maybe I should fall for somebody else.
There are other girls out there, y'know.

(The race is coming down to the finish, still neck and neck. The team is out of first place more than in first place. The grind is wearing thin.The thoughts are turning to football and how his fantasy football team is starting out.)

Dear Diary, September 25-
Ok, this does it! I'm making my stand! I'm asking her out and we're going to go all the way or I'm going to find somebody else. I'm better looking than the other guys, darn it!
Other girls have said 'hi' to me, and I've liked the way they say hi. Like almost dying to go out with me.

(Making the big push to end up on top, sorta speak. All faab money has been spent and he has 14 pitching starts coming up, while his competition has a lot fewer. Still keeping an eye on his football teams)

Dear Diary, October 1-
WE DID IT!
MY FIRST SEX!
I don't know if I did it right, but I know it feels so good! I wanna do this more and more!
But sadly, she said we're through. That we're through seeing each other and that I'd have to find other girls.
That's ok though, cuz girls keep saying hi to me and maybe I can fall in love again and again and again!

(Fantasy Championship!
The first NFBC League Win and next year can't come soon enough! Knowing it'll be even better the next time, resolving that more than one team is needed next year. Hoping a team can be built to succeed like this one!
Till then, settling for football)
