I’ve gone from love to hate to love to “Are we up to love or hate now?” to the DL for Brandon Morrow. I’ll be honest, some of my love came from getting excited about drafting him and some of my hate came from not owning him and him overperforming, according to his peripherals.

So, for today’s post I was going to talk about how women can biologically prevent pregnancy, but only in cases of legitimate rape. However, much to my chagrin, this guy beat me to it. I mean, the nerve! Right before I’m about to talk about it… then yoink. Please, blog, may I have some more?

In 2010, the Diamondbacks traded Dan Haren to the Angels for Joe Saunders (and Patrick Corbin and Tyler Skaggs). Turned out in that parenthetical lied the rub. At the time of the trade, ESPN Fantasy said, “…this looks like highway robbery for the Angels, and a salary dump for the Diamondbacks. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Did you end up saying Jay one more time? I dared you after all… which makes sense if you remembered last week’s creepy get together, as we partook in my glorious proclamation that Jon Jay was a good thing for your 21st week of scoring. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Pirates and Cardinals played a marathon game yesterday. 19 innings that saw 47 lineup changes, 16 different pitchers and 12,000 fans at Busch Stadium leaving simply because the beer cutoff was in the 7th inning. “This is baseball sober? Damn, I’d prefer a third divorce.” Please, blog, may I have some more?

Minor Accomplishments for Week 19

August 19, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 48 Comments

by: Scott Evans

Given how much he was touted during the preseason, you’d think Shelby Miller would’ve already surfaced in St. Louis after injuries to big league starters Chris Carpenter and Jaime Garcia. But a poor spring training followed by a brutal first half in the Pacific Coast League forced the Cardinals to turn to Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly instead. Please, blog, may I have some more?

As a rule of thumb, I figure the best way to fully concentrate on writing these articles is to put on a god-awful dance movie in the background. Unless you secretly like those movies and then I have to ask, what are you doing here? Please, blog, may I have some more?

You know that cracked out guy at the 7-11 at 3 AM who’s just trying to get a cylindrical hamburger for free? “Yo, man, can I get me a cylindrical hamburger?” Grabs said hot doggey-looking burger and jets for the exit. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Feeling extremely sick today. Should I call Grey and tell him I just can’t complete the task at hand? Should I tell him I’m worried the medication will lead to a sloppy, uninteresting post? How could I ever in all my wildest dreams hope of topping last week’s Naked Gun post, especially caught in this horrible sickness. Please, blog, may I have some more?
