Al—you weren’t in a baseball or football league with any of us so your standing is moot. That hockey league is also a crap shoot–if Adam Klemencic can not come last, something is wrong.

Also, umm, nobody else took offense to that? Why so upset Al? Geez, chill out with a J or something.

And maybe we did underrate your team – 1 or 2 MR is ok, you just have a lot, it seems, though it is a deep league. It’s just not my style. And you’re right, you got your injury guys in later rounds. But what that’s all adding up to is question marks. There was no offense meant…prove us wrong Al .

Oh, also, your extremely gay team name may have swayed me, too.

Boys where’s the respect?? haha …2nd in hockey pool by a few points, finished 2nd in football, 2nd in baseball last year..i could go on lol. I thought u knew baseball Blake? You boys are deadwrong as “some” middle relief guys arent useless in fantasy baseball. If you will look at last years final yahoo rankings u will see Heath Bell, thats right Heath Bell, finshed 9th of ALL RP in the majors, higher than Riveria, Wagner and Cordero . Over 100ks, ERA of 2.02 and a whip under 1 pitching in almost 100 innings will do big things for ur teams overal pitching staff.What you gotta remember about guys like Bell and Broxton is they pitching almost every game so their innings are higher than most closers and their K’s. Saves is only one category that can usually be held together with an array of free agent pickups during the year. This all being said I might as well have Gagne as my teams closer to though another injury prone bastard in the mix. Prior and Harden were taken in such deep rounds that u cant really punish me for it though. Anyways can’t wait for opening pitch and if u still have another draft to do, Heath Bell, Johnathon Broxton(in my opinion will be LAD closer by July), take em nice and late

True. Not being there might have been the best thing for you because you can’t second guess Pujols.

I should point out here how in our Fantasy Basketball Preseason Power Rankings you guys had me last, and I am in 4th (with losing Yao), and that I have finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in our Football League.

Perhaps the Lesson Learned is to stop hating on the Imaginary Player’s fantasy teams.
……or that driving home from Indiana after having gone to 10 Big Ten basketball games in 4 days means I get the game’s best hitter (even if injury is an issue)

The Rodriguez brothers will dominate the league…Baldelli was a horrible pick, for some reason I thought a “mitochondrial abnormality” would make him more boost his power numbers…so much for being in life sciences for 4 years….Do you know who else was ranked low in the pre-season power rankings Les Habitants, yes, my Montreal Canadiens were predicted to finish way outside of a playoff spot…we all know how that turned out…

Game, blouses.

I honestly think I have a good team, I’m even officially taking Howie Kendrick off the block, and I found a roster spot for Zach the Duke.

fellas, loving the 3rd spot props.

i agree with ya completely…i tried to get a mix of reliability and suprise but we’ll see.

if i can get another good year out of hill, and a return to power from delgado and mora i think i can compete. granted, i didnt plan for 3B too well and got stuck with edwin encarnacion. oops.

i’m riding the buerhle (how the fuck do you even spell his name) train pretty hard right now too.

keep giving attention to the league on here, this is going to get intense!

also, “lesson learned: watch some baseball” = hilarious
