Fantasy Baseball

I know, I know long time between posts...

This post isn't about not posting though, it's about Fantasy Baseball. My younger bro Fatty (Reflexions) has played Fantasy Baseball for three years now so I decided I would join him this year. I drafted a pretty decent team, and have traded, and picked up and dropped players throughout the season. I am really enjoying playing and it has given me a love for the game again. I loved going to games and watching the occasional Red Sox game on TV but just wasn't into sitting down and watching ESPN to see who was doing what in baseball. I started the season with a lose but only by 27 points, not bad for a rookie :) Since then I have done this...

Tied for 1st place!!! I won 7 games in a row before getting my next lose, 237 - 235... 2 points Come On!!! I then came back and won week 10, but lost last week (To the guy at the top of the East).

This week I am currently losing by 6 points going into today (Playing the guy at the top of the West). Hopefully I can get a win and go back on top of the West.

For those wondering Fatty is 3-8, bottom of the East. He has good players but it seems the weeks he takes the mediocre guys and puts them on the bench for the guys that are producing, the mediocre players end up exploding and the guys that were producing end up being mediocre. He is getting the points, 2375 points, out of his players but not enough to beat the teams he's put up against. Happily this week he is winning 104-51 at the start of today!
