You know, I think Fantasy Baseball should really be Fantasy baseball--meaning if you wanted to substitute Dick Tracy or Tracy Morgan for Chad Tracy, you could.

If you wanted to buy hit points for your Ork, you could do that as well.

Narron is killing me. When someone is hitting well, he sits them(Encarnacion a few days ago, Freel earlier in the year). Dunn has had no clue at the plate lately, and Narron keeps him in there against tough lefties like Dontrelle and Davis.

That's how we run my league. I sat Adam Dunn today, and replaced him Adam West. I'm figuring the utility belt has to be worth at least three additional stolen bases.

I had a friend that didn't get sports who used to puzzle over fantasy baseball. He said that there was a group of people who were all really into Amtrak trains and played a game where each person picked a group of trains and was awarded points based on how close the train came in to it's scheduled time, how clean the train was, and who it's driver was that everyone would think those people were certifiably insane. Why, he asked, should it be any different for fantasy baseball entusiasts?

We didn't stay friends for very long

It's only fantasy if you wager Son of Sam's Mailbag.

Roof closed today = plenty of strikeouts and probably under four runs for the Reds.

This has all the makings of an unmitigated disaster for the Reds bullpen today and tomorrow.

Harang going on short rest today, Elizardo Ramirez tomorrow.

The offense needs to pound out 7 runs or so in the first few innings and let Harang put it on cruise control.
