Are You Ready For Fantasy Baseball - 2009?

I'm liking these guys more and more. Were they the group on some of de Andre's extravaganzas? I'll have to go see if I can figure that out.

And the running total through Week 4:

Just giving it all a quick glance, it appears that every team improved its average this week. . . . except the Hoot Owls

Nah, my team dived. On the other hand, I was dealing with a guy with 78.5 innings pitched. Whappo!

Greinke!

Wow.

My team also dived a bit. Oof.

Yahoo! be trippin' again this morning. What the eff?

A lot of rain in the eastern U.S. Delays and postponements in baseball possible for another day or two, or three.

Oh no, Osso! Manny just got banned 50 games for roids! That sucks.

We can only hope that fbaezer's entire team is on roids and will be exposed shortly. That seem to be the only hope for the rest of us.

Right, it does...

After three weeks of wins, wines and excesses, PFM is heading to its first loss of the year. The Bay Herons are playing strangely well. It seems that Manny's doctor paid them a visit.

Just a note: On another thread re baseball, Osso used the word "folderol." I thought it was important to let yall know that.

I admit to sillicifcation and even folderol. My way,

Here is what the standings will look like after Sunday's games:
1) Prima is unstoppable
2) George is comfortably in 2nd
3) Tubas hangs on despite a lackluster week
4) Gushies make a big jump
5) Necks might get by, or end in a tie, with...
6) The Owls, who sank a bit
7) Herons after a bad week
8) Sandpaws sticks in the middle
9) Jespah does the same
10) Cornman gets a little momentum
11) Firefighters have a disappointing outting
12) McGentrix does also and could be tied with
13) Gerbils who did all right this week
14) Tico wins but not by enough to escape the basement

A fine summary, though I take issue with item #1. Mark my words: PFM falls to the Tubas this week.

And the running total through Week 5:

There's still a lot of jockeying for position, but RJB's predicting powers are improving a bit too I think.

Alas ... not to be.

We don't depend on Soria THAT much!
