Fantasy baseball sure is fun. It's my favorite.

Injuries. Just lost a great pitcher for the year (Gallardo). I think I got a good replacement, but ouch.
My #1 pick (Rollins) has been out for weeks. My hottest hitter (batting .500) is dealing with his 2nd injury this year and has only played ten days. Somehow, I'm standing toe to toe with the big boys so far, but I don't know how much longer my luck will hold out.

I wish I hadn't had the last (tenth) pick. My favorite player, Chase Utley, dropped all the way to 9th and then the computer picked him for Wart.
The guy is an absolute monster this year.

Yea, if you were lucky (or some people say corrupt) like me, you could have drafted #1 and had ARod on your team sitting on the Disabled List.

Wow, I read your first sentence I thought to myself "Holy crap, Darth is actually posting a message in the fantasy baseball thread that doesn't involve him crying about injuries."

Then I kept reading....

I had Gallardo in another league that I'm in (and never cried about losing him by the way).

It sure is good to have this thread going again...

I told you NOT to draft a damned Yankee. But did you listen?

I've just got wounded guys. You on the other hand have wounded jerks!!

i dunno if it's gonna be like this all season, but what a weird several weeks...i win 7-1 and 8-4, and also lose 2-7 and 3-9.

Wow, Tates, you're like the Little Engine That Could. Except, in this case, you're the Little Fantasy Baseball Player That Could.

Here's my image of Tates as a fantasy participant: Tates has a room in his house devoted to elaborate charts and forecasts of all players in each sport. He has employed a part-time assistant (unpaid intern from Boise State University) to keep these things organized from midnight to 7 a.m. (while Tates sleeps). The assistant wakes Tates up as soon as Yahoo! has posted the new results, whatever time that is. Coffee and donuts are provided for each morning's "standings unveiling." Tates sometimes keeps a digital audio recorder with him during the unveiling to record his thoughts. He listens to them later. Tates also keeps a notebook by the bed in case he thinks of a different lineup configuration during the middle of the night or a possible trade scenario. Which reminds me, Tates has never asked for any of my players in a trade.

My point is this, fellas, Tates is back in first! We need to step up our games!

Trash, trash, trash.

Anyone need an outfielder? I've got 6 pretty good ones. I need a 2B or a SS. Make me an offer.
