That sound you hear is my heart going a pitter patter for Brandon Belt. That sound you might also hear is Bruce Springsteen on my iTunes. He’s singing the September 11th Telethon version of My City Of Ruins. It gives me chills eleven years later. Now to completely sully that beautiful image, I keep hearing, […]

Razzball’s 2012 DraftDay 10 Team AL-Only Draft
April 6, 2012 | Our Leagues | 12 Commentsby: Rudy Gamble
Over the past 2 years, Grey and I have had several conversations around joining a high-stakes baseball league. We are intrigued by the NFBC but our math keeps suggesting that their rake is too high (e.g., I calculated a 20% rake on the $150 slow draft). We decided to take the plunge this year with […]

League-Wide Offense Longs For Shrunken Ball Era
April 6, 2012 | Uncategorized | 172 Commentsby: Grey
No surprise that Johan Santana pitched well yesterday. Everyone pitched well yesterday (except relievers). Now I know what it was like to play fantasy baseball during the dead ball era. “Hey, Scoots, I got me a base hit from my second bagger! I’m so excited, but maybe that excitement is from this Coca-Cola that’s made […]

Sing it with me everyone: Tis the season for broke closers. Tommy, Tommy John, John, John, John, John! That sounded great. Except for you in the back. Thought I heard an old mule getting strangled. The regular season hasn’t even started and we’ve lost Joakim Soria and Ryan Madson to the knife. Last time I […]

Bottom of the Ninth: What to Look for in the First Week
April 5, 2012 | Closers | 27 Commentsby: Albert Lang
Grey covered the Andrew Bailey and Frank Francisco situations nicely on Tuesday. However, I had already started putting information together, so I’ll leave you with a few lines from my Francisco write-up: While Francisco is not expected to miss anytime, we’re talking about a relatively fragile relief pitcher here and a Mets organization that has […]

You smell that? No, not your armpits. That’s Opening Day. The real thing this time! I love you, you sick, twisted, little game run by an egomaniac with a bad toupee. I love you! I want to touch baseball’s boobies! They are warm to my touch; those beautiful baseball boobies! I am gushing over baseball’s […]

Now’s the time when we put all of our 2012 baseball predictions in one place. Then in October we can look back at this and laugh. Oh, and we will laugh. Big, bellowing, seat of your pants laughs. Hindsight is indeed 20/20. But where’s the harm in setting ourselves to look like jackasses? We run […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Kyle Farnsworth is headed to the DL. You know who called this one? No one. Geez, closers are dropping like it’s hot and they’re from the North Pole and can’t handle the heat. Hmm, that wasn’t so pithy. In the last week, we’ve lost Madson, Storen, Andrew Bailey, Frank Francisco. Though we got back Frank […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In a previous post, I laid out a methodology for testing fantasy baseball player rankings/auction values and all the components involved in projecting player values. I got feedback from some smart folks that didn’t ‘get’ the test. Since the common variable in that equation was me, I’m going to try explaining it one more time […]

Andrew Bailey will need thumb surgery, according to one doctor. He’s scheduled to get a second opinion today. That second doctor’s gonna say, “The first doctor and I play golf and he only sent you to me to run up your doctor bills. Of course you need surgery.” My opinion is Bailey is always […]
