Funniest thing about me thinking George Lombard Jr. sounds like he’s 120 years old and a former lead in George Cukor films is that he looks like he’s 12: Honestly, if that kid said to me where’s the Axe Spray, because he thought I worked at CVS because I’m old enough to be his grandfather […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 1927 Red Sox are answering the age-old question, is it better to be loved or feared? Neither, it’s better to hit some freakin’ dongs! Louie Armstrong knows where it’s at when he questions, Wilyer or Won’tyer be my baby? By the way, that’s like Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Bro, “If I […]

Yesterday, Jackson Merrill went 2-for-4 with his 14th homer, 2nd homer in two games, four homers in four games. Okay, but what you really want to talk about is how Luis Rengifo homered — a tomato is thrown, and it connects — Bull’s eye to side of my head. Ow! What? Rengifo could do something–A […]

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning” is a famous quote by Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now after he started Joe Ryan (4 IP, 8 ER, ERA at 3.38) in his fantasy league. Yeah, Robert Duvall was just sitting there on the river, scrolling on his iPhone and checking his fantasy team. Is […]

Holding hands to eyes, sun blinds me, I turn back and call into the house, “Ma, how long is this break without baseball? Ma?” I realize now that I’m not emerging from my mom’s house. I’m emerging from a bunker. I had been in there longer than I imagined. I pick up a newspaper to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?First off, you gotta see Kade Anderson and the Watchmen’s Millennium Clock sitting on his shoulders: That’s not a neck, that’s a flagpole. Every morning they send his head up to the top. Lilliputians free solo Kade’s neck like it’s El Capitan. Kade Anderson, are you wearing your Beaker Halloween costume already? So, it’s not just […]

“This British author was a part of the World War II Operation Goldeneye, and used some of this experience in his novels.” “Who is Ian Seymour?” The audience howled in laughter when I shot up in bed, soaking wet. My recurring dream of being dumb on Jeopardy! continues. But who is Ian Seymour? Wow, also […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy, Razzballers! There are a few ways to indicate where something occurs on a historical timeline. There is B.C. and A.D. or B.C.E. and C.E. As you have probably noticed, the All-Star Break is the de facto time horizon given for injury recovery. So, you could say we have B.A.S.B. and P.A.S.B. I guess if […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Building a dynasty trade plan of any kind can be tricky because most of the players are already on rosters, which means there is no objective context. Some dynasty teams just won’t make trades, so the players they have are pretty much off limits to everyone else in the league for the duration of their career. Other teams will avoid trading with specifically you/me for any number of reasons: response time, evaluations on specific players, evaluations in general, approach to trading vis a vis Everyone Can Be a Winner versus more of an Optimus Prime approach: One shall stand; one shall fall, kind of thing. I think you’re much better off seeking an everyone-can-win kind of deal. It leads to future trade opportunities and faster trades in general when people in the league know they can bring an idea to you and more often than not walk away with a trade they feel good about.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was just two and a half months ago. You were pumped up. Sitting in front of your computer, ready to select your squad that you would cultivate and cherish for the next 6 months to give you the glory you so deserve, and then… It all went to hell, specifically up the middle. Your […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ve mentioned fantasy baseball legend Tim McCleod before. He’s a Tout Wars champion, and he’s got an indispensable fantasy baseball podcast. He is also famous for his axiom, “Do not make changes to your team until after American Memorial Day (because he’s Canadian). Well, here we are. It’s hot outside, and the kids are getting […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last month, we looked at some of the surprising starts, for good and bad, around the league. Well, we’re another month in, so we’re going to do it again. However, our focus isn’t going to be on who’s been a happy surprise or disappointment for the season on the whole, but over the past month. […]
