September is here, and Labor Day has past. What does this mean for people like me living in Eastern NC? Hurricane season. I moved here in 1999 which if you pay attention to such things, and you probably don’t unless you are on a coast (no reason to pay attention to hurricanes in Nebraska) I […]

I hope everyone had a relaxing Labor Day weekend celebrating you, the worker. The faithful cog in the machine of capitalism all get one day to honor them and all they do to keep the US of A chugging along. Mostly, it’s a weekend for fantasy football drafts, amiright? I know my home league uses […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we are, the last final full month of baseball with teams having roughly 25 games left in the season. It’s been a DFS whirlwind for me, I lost some cash in April, June, and August, but still more than made up for it in my two winning months of May and July. I am […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don start the show with some discussion about the Julio Urias situation. We talk about setting lineups for stretch runs and the amazingness that is Ronald Acuna Jr. We talk about a few of the recent MLB team claims made by the two Ohio teams. Next, we move on to talk about the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s no point in me pointing out that I wrote a Justin Steele sleeper this preseason. It’s so long ago now! So much has been written since then! Has anything, perchance, been written that was that illuminating that the Pulitzer committee, all 12 people in Switzerland, all drafted Justin Steele in their fantasy leagues? Does it matter that people, who have been stopped on the highway doing 120 MPH, have been allowed to leave after showing the police officer my Justin Steele sleeper? Does it matter that my Justin Steele sleeper has made advancements in medicine to cure the hiccups? No! None of this matters! What matters is I wrote that gee-dee post, snitches! Yesterday, he went 8 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, 2 walks, 12 Ks, lowering his ERA to 2.55. But that doesn’t even matter! The hiccups are now gone! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?How many of y’all are in the fantasy playoffs now? 10% of you? Stellar. I hope the rest of you are here for my excellent witticisms and occasional story about how Grey licks every pack of Pokemon cards while waiting in line at Target.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Labor Day! September baseball’s here and rosters have expanded. Playoff teams look to give their regulars some rest down the stretch, teams outside of playoff contention are giving some of their prospects a look, and best of all, the casual fantasy manager has moved on to fantasy football. Here’s what’s going on around the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Better late than never, right? Luckily for me it isn’t Patriot’s Day, so there is still time to get this info to y’all. Thanks for understanding, Barflys. This week’s Low Point of Reference is the Sawx’s James Paxton, who comes in just over the “I’m going to put your name in bold in the Bar […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday’s game in Cincy saw the Cubs and Reds combine for 22 runs. So, what’s going on with my son? Elly De La Cruz went 0-for-5 with four Ks? Forget Ticker Tease, that’s Ticker I’m-A-Born-Again-Virgin-From-That-Teasing. Not cool, man! Losing my virginity once was awkward enough! That 22 runs is why I get so scared of Reds starters in Great American Smallpark. It’s dangerous! It’s like if you’re allergic to peanuts and they throw you this:
Please, blog, may I have some more?At the mid-summer break, Ronald Acuna Jr. And Shohei Ohtani appeared to be runaway favorites for Most Valuable Player awards. However, so much has changed in the last month bringing the National League MVP into question. Over the month of August, Mookie Betts did his best Barry Bonds in April 2004 impression (look it up if you need!). Betts put up a blistering month with a .455 average, 10 homers, a ridiculous combined 75 runs plus RBI and 1.355 OPS. Not only did that month give Mookie a chance in the MVP race where Acuna has produced a never before seen 30/60 season, but it also shakes up the big names of our Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season. We are in the final month of the season and hopefully you are staring down a potential championship trophy while your competitors have moved on to football in despair.
Please, blog, may I have some more?That was an unexpectedly fascinating week in MLB. The waiver deadline came out of nowhere, and the two Ohio teams decided to go nuts. Both of those squads bolstered their rosters with Angels cast-offs, and it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Our streamers were solid once again, and we will go back […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Nationals C Keibert Ruiz: I tried to trade for Ruiz in a two-catcher, 15-teamer where I’m in a tight race for the top, but I sort of didn’t try real hard because I’m solid at catcher, where I have Willson Contreras and Elias Diaz. Solid. Old. Streaky. Probably on the way down. Would’ve probably been smart to try harder.
Royals C Freddy Fermin: The Royals have made gestures toward trading Sal Perez this off-season to make room for Fermin, who’s been in the lineup most nights anyway with Perez covering first in lieu of Vinnie Pasquantino and Nick Pratto. The exposure and the grind have chipped away at his once-pristine stat line, but he’s still hitting .284 with a 112 wRC+. That’s a starter in most fantasy leagues.
