Mike Moustakas left yesterday’s game with a groin injury that could end his season, which would also end his sophomore slump (the “o” is silent in sophomore, like when you make love to your woman — oofa!) The 2nd season like the 2nd Greek letter is beta. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Homer Bailey’s No-Hitter Wins Your Fantasy League
September 29, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 37 Commentsby: Dan Pants
Despite his unfortunate name, Homer Bailey pitched the first Reds’ no-hitter since 1988 last night, completely shutting down the Pirates down-and-out offense, allowing just 2 base runners on an error and a walk and striking out a career high 10 batters. Please, blog, may I have some more?
For our last Buy/Sell of the season, I’m reminded of all that the past Buys have given this year. I got introspective, y’all. I thought about how a 2-for-4 on Monday put a Buy on my radar, then by Thursday he was either back to waivers or 10 for his last 14 and I wanted him on all my teams. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues: Pamela Anderson meets Mr. Fister
September 28, 2012 | Points Leagues | 2 Commentsby: LT
Moving, in short…is a bitch. Like, is there anything more torturous on the planet earth than moving? The boxing. The bubble wrap. The calling of the friends who desperately try and come up with excuses as to how they are busy. Please, blog, may I have some more?
One HR, Two HR, Reddick, Bluedick
September 28, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 28 Commentsby: Grey
The .245 AVG is going to look ugly next March but 31 HRs and 80+ R/RBI has been nirvana for anyone (like Rudy) who plucked Josh Reddick off free agency in shallow leagues this year. The power is real and, unlike the last A’s power hitter (Jack Cust), he is an above average fielder. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Bottom of the Ninth: Seeking a Save at the End of the Season
September 27, 2012 | Closers | 5 Commentsby: Dan Pants
Only a week left and if you’re reading this you’re probably still in contention somewhere. Congratulations on making it this far! Otherwise, move on to football already, and leave the waiver wire alone, you’re screwing up the finals! (Don’t you just hate that?) Please, blog, may I have some more?
This week I was curious to look at what I call surprisingly high sluggers. No, I’m not talking about Geovany Soto. These are players who have at least a .500 slugging this year and fewer than 20 home runs. In order to try to limit some of the outliers, I only looked at players who had at least 300 plate appearances this year. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wednesday Was Don’t Take The Hump Day
September 27, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 159 Commentsby: Grey
Did anyone pitch well yesterday? Clayton Richard (3 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners, 2 Ks) went in Petco. Hodgepadre, why do you let me down the last week of the season? Do I not feed you after midnight like you ask? Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Razzball Podcast — The One Where We Do A 2013 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft
September 26, 2012 | All Podcasts | 114 Commentsby: Grey
Nick had his heart set on doing a 2013 fantasy baseball mock draft. And who am I to disappoint people? I’m not my father! Sorry, my shrink says it’s good to get that stuff off my chest. The problem with doing a mock draft this early is things change even if no games are played. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Anibal Sanchez threw a complete game shutout with four baserunners and 10 Ks. I told you to draft him! (Then drop him.) Shut up, Parenthetical, you know-it-all. (That’s kinda harsh.) This is exactly what I expected from Anibal (in the NL). Please, blog, may I have some more?
FaP Strategy: Treat Yourself Right
September 25, 2012 | Uncategorized | 33 Commentsby: Awesomus Maximus
I’ve always been fond of autumn. Mother Nature is packing it in, so there’s no more mowing the lawn or weeding the garden. The chill in the air means I can hide my bald spot with a cap and mask my belly with an extra shirt, no questions asked. Please, blog, may I have some more?
It Was The Worst Of Times, It Was The Best Of Times

That title is lifted from Jimmy Dickens’ A Tale of Three Cities, the younger brother’s blatant ripoff of the classic novel. For what Jimmy Dickens lacked in originality, he made up with his ability to avoid cholera and scurvy. His brother, Charles, used to say it was because Jimmy was the rat spreading the dreaded disease. Please, blog, may I have some more?
