Steroid Use Should Cost Ryan Braun MVP

By ⋅ December 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When you get caught cheating, you’re supposed to be punished. Copy your friend’s homework? Zero on the assignment. Run a red light to save a couple minutes? Ticket. Carry on an elicit affair? Divorce, and probably half your stuff. Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun got caught cheating: he failed a drug test. While a 50-game suspension [...]

Ryan Braun Should Keep MVP Despite Positive Steroids Test

By ⋅ December 14, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Last Saturday night, the news broke that National League MVP Ryan Braun failed a performance-enhancing drug test in October. This dramatic truth revealed is devastating for MLB, which seemed to be beginning truly moving past the “Steroids Era” that began in the early 90′s. Braun is an established superstar of the game, arguably the very [...]

TGIF: Fantasy Baseball Draft, 2010

By ⋅ October 9, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

With the end of the 2009 season, it is never too early to look ahead to 2010. To me, baseball season never ends and I am already thinking about my strategy for next season (most notably because I finished 9th in one league). Believe it or not, before the year is out, some fantasy guru’s [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 11 (6-15 – 6-21)

By ⋅ June 23, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I’m going to take this time to be awesome. I usually wait until the end of the “Wrap-Up” to report on the Sports of Boston baseball league, but I recently took over first place. My favorite part about the situation is that I have Jose Reyes, Joey Votto, and Erik Bedard on the DL. I [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 5 (5-4 – 5-10)

By ⋅ May 12, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

As I have documented before, I am in three baseball leagues. In two, I am in great position in the top 5. In one, I am in dead last thanks to two factors: Injuries and Lance Berkman hitting under .200. The news did not get any better last week when Cubs’ 3B Aramis Ramirez dislocated [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 3 (4-20 – 4-26)

By ⋅ April 28, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a quick update on my three leagues. I am in the top 6 in two of them and am in dead last in one of them. Ironically, after each draft, I loved my team the most in my last place league and hated the offenses in the two leagues I am doing well in. [...]

TGIF: 2009 OF Rankings

By ⋅ March 20, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Aaaahhhh finally, a position with some depth. It can be argued that you should address your shallower positions (2B, 3B, SS) in the first rounds and wait on the outfielders. This is actually a great way to draft. With more power than any other place on the diamond, the outfield has the luxury of hefty [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 17 (7-21 – 7-27)

By ⋅ July 29, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

We are about to enter August and also about to see the end of the trade deadline. I really hope the Red Sox don’t trade Manny because for the sake of three of my fantasy teams, I don’t want Pat Burrell in Boston. It’s not that I don’t like Pat Burrell, I love the guy. [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 16 (7-14 – 7-20)

By ⋅ July 22, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

With the All-Star week taking place, the number of games played was limited. The fantasy week started last Thursday which could have been an advantage or a handicap. In Yahoo! leagues, the minimum innings pitched requirement was waived which made for some interesting head-to-head outcomes. Those seeking to find out who prospered in the limited [...]

Big Papi Powers Sox Sweep

By ⋅ May 19, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Usually when Josh Beckett pitches poorly, the Red Sox are doomed. The ace should not be allowing six runs in seven innings of work. But, with this Red Sox offense, any mediocre effort could help towards a victory. The Sox got HR’s from David Ortiz (2), Dustin Pedroia, and Kevin Youkilis in 11-7 win over [...]
