I already need another All-Star Break

On Saturday and Sunday I had a total of five starters going. After getting through the weekend with Gavin Floyd, Ben Sheets, Joe Saunders, Oliver Perez and Scott Baker combining for a 2.56 ERA, I had zero wins to show for it.

Pack up the kids

After a lifetime of aggravating seasons, I’m having a particularly hard time believing how pathetic my team is this year. After holding down the top spot with mirrors for the better part of the first 75 games in my NL-only league, I’m now dangerously close to the long good bye.

Say it ain’t so Taguchi

Once again everything I touch turns to maneur. I completed another dump-trade in my NL-only league in an effort to secure my annual second-place finish. I moved the indomitable Brad Lidge and a couple of Ring Dings for Greg Maddux, Aaron Harang and Rich Aurilia.

Falling, and I can’t get up

I’m being continuously knocked to the canvas in my baseball league, and I don’t know if I’m going to be able to keep getting up. On Tuesday night at some point, I fell into ninth place in my 10-team league. Ninth place! I was in third place a few weeks ago.
