Good morning, baseball fans! It’s nearly February, which means it’s almost close to time to start considering thinking about baseball! Unless, of course, you’re a fantasy sports degen like myself, in which case, it is already literally baseball season! And of course you are, or you wouldn’t be here! So let’s talk about the biggest fantasy […]

I don’t have enough spam, give me the Razzball email newsletter!
Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.As evidenced by my team’s unceremonious exit from the first round of the RazzSlam playoffs, I didn’t do a great job following baseball this year. Sure, every week I’d put out my beloved, world-famous, award-winning column, Two-Start Dive Bar, but that’s a niche area, a product of and for weekly-change roto fantasy leagues. Apparently, there […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I remember the day fairly clearly. It was springtime a few years ago and I was out taking the dog for a walk. That welcome and very bright March sun had started to melt away the snow, and I had downloaded one of the podcasts where the guys were talking about the Razzslam and its […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings and salutations, Razzballians! Do you know what time it is? Time… of year, I mean? I don’t know what time it is where you are, or when you’re reading this. That wouldn’t make sense. I’m not a wizard. But time of year? Do you know what time of year it is?
It’s Cutline time.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello there, RazzSlammers! The season has begun to progress in earnest, and it’s time we all take stock of our teams and what help we might need. To the rescue: the Waiver Wire! Unlike “standard” NFBC leagues, we don’t have weekly FAAB runs in the RazzSlam… after all, you drafted 42 players! But, unlike most […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?B_Don is joined by fellow Razzballer Steve Paulo (@StevePaulo) and Darik Buchar (@DBuchar) from the NFC to talk about the upcoming RazzSlam contest. Steve is our resident RazzSlam writer for the season and Darik is one of our primary contacts, and the two of them are here to go over the details and our draft strategies for the RazzSlam and the Cutline contest in general. We discuss how to handle some of the transitions from roto to the Cutline points set up and how to handle steals, starters vs closers, and other tricky areas. Darik walks us through the offerings from the NFBC this year. Before I let my guests go, I ask them about some of the big free agent signings of the off-season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s happening, Razzballers?! Razzballians?! Razz…balloons?!
You GUYS (and GALS)… We are a mere 20 days away from the RazzSlam drafts! That’s less than three weeks! Have you signed up yet?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings and hello, fellow RazzSlam enthusiasts! It is I, your faithful RazzSlam Intern, Steve, back again to remind you that RazzSlam 3: Deuces Wild! is right around the corner!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Aloha, salutations, greetings and WAAAZZZZAAAAAAA?!?!? (remember that?!) to everyone out there in fantasy baseball land! My name is Steve, and I’m taking the reins when it comes to talking about the RazzSlam at you from our esteemed editors, Blair and Donkey Teeth. Why, you might ask? Because they’ve got far more important things to do with their time. I’m like an intern. I’m like Season 2 Greg the Egg: just keeping the lattes flowing.
So why am I here, and why are you reading this? Well… I can’t really answer the second question, which might require some introspection on your part, but as to the first, I’m here to tell you all about RazzSlam 3: Deuces Wild!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Every journey ends.
Every journey, dear reader, that begins with but a single step, ends with a final one. The final step for your intrepid correspondent was taken with a tripping, stumbling, decidedly un-Baryshnikovian gracelessness, as I bowed out of our towering competition in the bottom 15% or so, at the initial cutline.
For me, then, it is on to next year, with sights set high.
For the rest of you? Well, if you find yourself fortunate enough to be among those mentioned herein, perhaps glory still awaits. The cutline has come and gone, and we are in to the final rounds of the RazzSlam. Let us, together, gaze upon the leaderboard and see what separates those generals still marshaling their forces upon the field of battle and, well, me. Shall we?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome, weary traveler, dedicated reader, ardent supporter of yours truly and of the game of balls and diamonds. Welcome. We find ourselves near the ides of the season, the midway point if you will, and it is time once again to examine the current state of the greatest tournament in the land, the RazzSlam!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome, welcome, weary traveler, dedicated reader, ardent supporter! It is I, your trusty RazzSlam Correspondent, Bob Allison Chains.
How are you? Doing well? Yeah? The kids good? Good, good. Good for you.
Me?
Well, it’s abundantly kind of you to inquire, but the truth is, I am despondent. I am a despondent correspondent.
