For all of you out there playing fantasy hockey and heading into your playoffs about now, please note that Chris Pronger is suspended for eight games and will be out for most of your playoffs (if your league resembles ours, which I imagine it does). Now is the time to hold your nose and pick […]

Lights Out! Nerd Baseball! (Turn that shit up!)
Posted in Baseball, Fantasy, baseball mogul, ootpb on Mar 12th, 2008
Just to recap, it may be baseball season. I may also be a nerd. Here are some warning signs:
I’m in two fantasy baseball leagues, one traditional and the other the greatest experiment ever undertaken by man.
I now own two baseball simulators, Out of the Park Baseball and Baseball Mogul. I have OOTPB because it runs […]
American Hooligans’ Moneyball Fantasy League
Posted in Baseball, Fantasy, Science, beckett, chipper jones, moneyball on Mar 11th, 2008
It seems like only yesterday DoctorD convinced me to read Moneyball, but at the same time it feels like I’ve had Billy Beane’s superiority complex all my life. Ever since last year’s fantasy league, I’ve been thinking about re-creating this year’s in Sabermetrics’ image, and even though Yahoo’s free league tools suck, I got pretty […]
J-Bla Is Baseball Cancer
Posted in Baseball, Blogosphere, Fantasy, butts on Apr 9th, 2007
So J-Bla’s entire fantasy team is full of the walking wounded. Half his team is on the disabled list. Not only that, but I was listening to the Rockies-Dodgers today and the very INSTANT he switched over, Schmidt tweaked a hammy or something.
Coincidence? Oh, no, J-Bla tried to trade for him earlier today.
Players on my fantasy team who are on (or about to be on) the DL:
Hideki Matsui (15; Strained Hamstring)
Jered Weaver (15; Biceps Tendinitis)
Rafael Furcal (15; Ankle)
Victor Martinez (probably 15; Strained Quadriceps)
Four out of 23. It’s going to be a long season.
The Zeal Of The Converted
Posted in Announcing, Baseball, Fantasy, Television, Theismann, glavine, mets on Apr 8th, 2007
I remember a time before baseball. Indeed, from about age 8 until a few weeks ago, I was largey oblivious to it. I remembered teams and players from my baseball card days, but I was content to leave baseball alone and be left alone, right up until our own J-Bla added me to his fantasy […]
J-Bla dragged me into his fantasy baseball league. J-Bla is my dealer into the drug-world of sports. I will wind up going ass to ass with Jennifer Connelly and, having seen her ass, I’m entirely fine with that. Anyway, he spent most of last baseball season convincing me to enjoy baseball (where previously I’d been […]
