For those of you high on Xavier Nady in your fantasy leagues, a stern warning:
Drop Xavier Nady. I picked him up in my fantasy league today. This mean’s he’s due to come down with baseball cancer within the next two weeks. I’m thinking something exotic, like a nice spinal cord injury - maybe somewhere in […]

My fantasy first baseman is Justin “0-for-spring-training” Morneau, who’s taken his wonderful Spring Training legacy on the road and is managing a .125 OBP so far this year. So, what’s a twitchy fantasy GM to do? Pick up a hot player! Of course, with my bespeckled injurious past, I have to be careful who I […]

Pat “Man…or Machine?” Burrell: Touched by the hand of Baseball Cancer…
Mar 24 The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Phillies OF Pat Burrell (flu) was a late scratch Sunday, March 23, against the Toronto Blue Jays due to flulike symptoms.

While J-Bla is making strong headway with the 2008 Baseball Cancer injuries, I’m proud to say that I think I am making a strong case for the 2008 Ghost Ride Da WHIP in terms of the best and funniest injury. Last year, I was on board the JJ Hardy train all year long, and though […]

I’m sorry, Braves fans. This one was my fault. I own that:
