Bedard is a bum (on all of my teams last year - evn after you warned me)

The foursome was myself, Dustin, Mark Hanna from RT and Dennis Phillips from WSOP fame. We shot -11 I believe, but you cant win your own tourney as we were the hosts. so, -7 got the title. I plan on being there, I am always there. Its my escape and I love fantasy baseball. how many people could lose...

Greg - dear god! As long as the ladies say I am not looking like Emil's long lost son - then we will be ok. Kicking the shaved head with beard at the moment.....likely change it up before March. Gotta keep everyone on there toes. I dont think Dustin will be here tonight, but after witnessing his gol...

Wells went to the disabled list on thursday, why can we change him?

Scherzer is expected to be replaced by Doug Davis in the rotation once he's able to return from thryoid cancer after his next rehab start, the Arizona Republic reports.

I dont know if my comments make me a basher. I do think my record speaks for itself and feel I am justifed in my opinion. Im not bastardizing the guy. In fact, Im sure sub-consciously I am partly justifying to myself why I made a rational decision to cap my bid at $511 so I dont feel like a complete...

Greg, As much as I agree with your comments - I dont possibly see them keeping Scherzer ahead of Davis at first (assuming he's medically cleared). If you watched Davs' last outing before the surgery, the team rallied around him and talked about him being a spiritual leader for a team. As fantasy pla...

If Mad Max struggles on Monday, he could very well be sent back down or back to the bullpen. With one ML pitch, they have been toying with putting him in the bullpen for 18 months. Davis gets his spot back if deemed healthy after the cancer treatment, so Micah is th question. I spent $511 and only g...

Id have to agree with the first vote: Lee Volquez Scherzer Cueto Adenhart I think Scherzer has the most upside. The kid from Parkway Central was a legend in the St. Louis area - however, he only has one pitch at this point. Dont get me wrong, his Kevin Brown fastball is devastating...but in the majo...

I agree RT, do we have a side bet in the Ultimate?

$10k on 1/3rd of an inning pitched. Not easy to get over. Once the first pitch is in the air this season, I will let it go.



I recognize I sound like Shawn...if we'd only boxed the 8 horse we'd have hit the $80k superfecta. However, change isnt easy.

We are in the same ultimate league. RT nabbed me last year when Bedard's oblique got sore as I made the precipitous fall from 2nd to finish 1/3 of an IP (.0001 of whip) out of the money.

Rick,



I wont book your dime for that bet, but I will take it heads up my team vs yours in the Ultimate. We can do something smaller as well. Let me know.

Haviing dinner after the Ultimate on Sunday, we had a fun discussion about what would be the odds needed to book the NFBC: We spent our time debating Shawn Childs and what his odds would be to win the main event and his league. I think he is a 10/11 favorite for his league title, but 12-1 or so on t...

Enjoyed meeting you guys on saturday. looks to be a good compeitive league. Hopefully, we can maintain the banter throughout the season. see you on the leaderbaord.



Jesse (Pick 10)

Youve got #15 on both Saturday and sunday. #10 was our 4th KDS Choice, so we will see how it works out. #6 was our preference....at least we got it on Sunday.

with these male pattern baldness adds. Is having no hair a pattern?

True. But he is the only Major Leaguer from the youth association where my son plays - so I sentimentally root for him.

The pride of the Hopewell Youth Baseball Association in Milton, GA - Is definitely going to be used as a pinch hitter and may get a chance to DH during interleague play. Whats the thought here.
