A Saucy Wench
Spent a year of my life last night picking the fantasy team. (seriously people when you are in the 20th round it doesnt freaking matter you are going to trade that asshole by the second week anyway JUST PICK)
Good pitching, bad relief pitching, some good hitting, some very weak spots.
Yes, I know. But I root for the Mariners. Without fantasy baseball I would quit watching by the end of April.

I really can enjoy a game between any two teams, any time of year.
Perhaps I should have said "quit rooting" At least I now have someone to root for in almost every game.

The whole draft process is why I avoid football and fantasy baseball. I may have free time, but I refuse to waste it having conversations like:
A: I pick Juan Castro.
B: You can't pick him you idiot. I got him three rounds ago.
A: Then I pick Felix Gonzalez. And I'm not an idiot.
B: Then you're a moron cause you already picked him. And he's on injured reserve and facing a suspension when he does get back.
A: Is there any more beer?
The tangents are moot.
Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

Oh...no it isnt like that anymore thank god. It is all computerized and we live in different states so no draft party. Just a chat room and the computer keeps track of everything. Fortunately we put in a draft clock this year, but 21 rounds x 12 teams x 3 minutes is still too long. My average pick was 12 seconds.
No Talent Drips
I think that I am now a Yankees fan.
Happy Opening Day.
You should go get the clap just so you can give it to her. --beef
New York 3-0
New York 0-3
The Sox are 0-3, they blew 2 saves in 1 game yesterday, and Jonathan Papelbon is not walking through that door.
But hey the Bruins start the playoffs on Thursday and even the Celtics look like they might not be quite dead yet. So we got some things to distract us until the Sox either figure their shit out, or become irrelevant in the AL East.
Runners run.
I didn't want to mention that; besides "it's April."
I take no pleasure in pointing this out: Bobby Valentine was a weird choice for Boston. I have no evidence to support that proposition.
Red Sox are a hard team to care about.
Not in Chicago
What a strange phenomenon with the Sox. It's been discussed ad nauseum but it's like winning ruined everything, particularly for people who were lifelong fans.
You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.
And the final insult: Bobby Valentine shows up to take his place among the great managers of Redsox history looking like he just got out of a tanning salon.
All yours! Enjoy!

I don't think winning ruined everything. It did come with a price. But the real problem - and the Yankees went through this too at one point - is a reliance on free agents because the farm system isn't producing. Fans like home-grown talent. I know I do. Pedroia, Youk, Ellsbury, Lester, Papelbon. Or gritty free agents or castoffs that turn their careers around - Bill Mueller, Kevin Millar, Papi. They cut their teeth with the organization, are grateful for a chance and are just hungrier.
Die-hards don't root for laundry. Maybe it will change with some youngsters like Lavarnway, Middlebrooks, Igelsias. The current roster is old and stale and don't seem to care much. I'd happily lose more games if they would trade Beckett for a bag of balls and let Felix Doubront and some others take their lumps while giving a shit.
it's like winning ruined everything,
That's why were committed to not winning, here on the North Side.
