Watchin' baseball

Second edition of this segment. Friday night baseball is the best time to do it, most number of games, marks the start of the weekend.

Paulie Walnuts Konerko just got robbed by Brendan Harris. Still, Paulie put up enough numbers for a week a couple days ago with 3 HR's and 7 RBI's.

Ellsbury called out at home. Close, but the ideal part of me wants to see ellsbury get called out cuz he shouldn't capitalize on the royals trying to run somebody down.

Ozzie Guillen woulda been a sick fantasy player too....i mean, ozzie smith. Ozzie Guillen was also a player, but only fantasy-relevant if number of profanities was recorded.

Alex Rios, star of "Fantasyland," has never really fulfilled his fantasy potential. Supposed to be 30/30 perennially, he's more of a 20/20, or 15/15, which is serviceable but with a pool as wide as the ocean for good fantasy outfielders, not a defining player (player that will win you leagues) on any team.


Have i mentioned I love Joe Blanton? He was good w/ the A's, now w/ a better team he can really rack up the wins. It's weird, but I sometimes throw balls around pretending I'm Joe Blanton. That's right, not Pedro, not Lincecum, not Maddux, not anybody real good, Joe Blanton.
Call it a quirk.

"Oops, looks like someone just leveled the playing field." Haha.

Carlos Pena is the Baron Davis of fantasy baseball. You get elite stats in 3 of the 5 offensive categories (R's, HR's, and RBI's,) but is less than adequate and actually hurts you in 2 of the other 5. No speed, no average. Urg, very hard player to own, great trade bait, but I haven't been able to get rid of him all year.


Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
