A belated Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, step-dads, and even all you dads-to-be in the future. I’m writing this on Father’s Day, and I just finished the time-honored tradition of dads teaching their sons a lesson. That’s right, my son wanted to take me on in a game of driveway hoops.

So, I was enjoying my Father’s Day with my dog, Ted. He was tossing me the frisbee, I was catching it in my mouth (in our house, we don’t assign roles). Then it was announced that Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants, and I started rolling on the floor, laughing, and Ted gave me a treat. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Well, well, well. Take a look at that. We have a veritable smorgasbord of options placed before us this week. The quality isn’t too bad, either, though the matchups are a bit of a mixed bag in many cases.

After a rough showing two weeks ago, we bounced back last week. Bryce Elder was a terrible pick as one of our streamers, but he was really the only dud in that piece.

This was an absolute shot that game in the first inning, and he added another 450-footer in the third inning just for funsies. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Well, the starting pitcher injury hammer has come to slam itself on all of our fantasy rosters. Our player pools out there lost pitchers all across the spectrum from aces (Corbin Burnes, Pablo Lopez) to midrotation stalwarts (Ryan Weathers) to hot up-and-comers (Jackson Jobe) to guys we were stashing to help down the stretch (Shane Bieber) to closers (Justin Martinez).

Iran and Israel are attacking one another. ICE is raiding the streets of Los Angeles. We have protests around the country that are ready for an outbreak at a moment’s notice. Nevertheless, fantasy lineups must be set and leagues must be won. Please, blog, may I have some more?
In the year 1225, there was a 700-foot statue of Max Muncy in what is now commonly referred to as Lithuania. The town’s name was Muncy and the statue was named Max. For 800 years, the people of Muncy chipped away at this Max statue. Please, blog, may I have some more?
