The first season of Fantasy Razzball – a fantasy baseball game where you try to manage the worst team possible – has been quite the trip.

On each Sunday (it was Friday, but it is what it is, so deal) we’re going to try and answer your 2008 fantasy baseball questions. Is this every fantasy baseball question we receive?

Please, blog, may I have some more?During the offseason, I wrote several posts criticizing the ESPN Player Rater and went as far as create my own to critique it.

Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ve been recruited to participate in a weekly fantasy baseball roundtable with several other fantasy baseball bloggers. I feel so knightly.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Note: Besides providing advice and news on fantasy baseball, we at Razzball created and now sponsor a game where the goal is to manage a team and compile the worst stats.

Please, blog, may I have some more?We realize that exporting our views across the country has damaging consequences on the blogosphere.
To help remedy this, we will try to occasionally feature locally blogged advice/insights/humor/etc. that will be fresher, more sustainable, and require less energy consumption (for us anyway). Please, blog, may I have some more?
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Houston Chronicle – aka Minute Maid Paper – has reported that Miguel Tejada lied about his age.
Not very shocking I know.

Please, blog, may I have some more?The role of sports in our lives is more complex than just ‘root root root for the home team’ and something to keep your eyes occupied whilst drinking beer.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Given I dole out advice on this site, it is only fair that you see how well I do in my public leagues. I’ll try and provide updates every fortnight or so…

Fantasy Baseball Writers League (Brock4Broglio) – 12 team mixed league – currently in 8th (63 pts, 16 pts out of 1st)
This was my first draft of the year, all the way back in late February. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Al Reyes finally got his shot to close games last year after 11 years of middle relief. His 4.90 ERA is proof he wasn’t the best closer in the league but he got 26 saves and wasn’t as bad as Todd Jones or Joe Borowski. Please, blog, may I have some more?
