"Despite the low batting average, Player X used his power and plate discipline to plug Team Y's Vortex of Suck (new team name?) at designated hitter, batting .254/.343/.559 in that role from August 1 onward..."
Yeah datz right, got my Prospectus bitches! It's not a fan of my work so far this year.

Fun Horror Facts
AAA Catcher leads the Andersonville Horror in OPS. MI@@Y Montero is 2nd.
AAA Pitcher leads the team in walks, losses, and runs allowed. He is second in appearances (behind Joe Smiff!). He has stepped on a rake, fallen down the dugout steps, punched 23 Gatorade buckets, fallen from the upper deck, been run over by a bus, attacked by penguins, suffered a season-long imbalance of the humours, stapled his hand to a rosin bag, squirted suntan lotion into his eye, and been attacked by crabs, but has not spent a day on the disabled list.

brain-dead Cub fan knows all, reveals some
Way too much time on your hands
Thank God I had to go back to work this afternoon, you guys citing PECOTA and all the other stuff have way too much time on your hands..It doesnt take a numbers genuis to tell you the Cubs always suck against a pitcher they never faced, that is mental, got a theory to figure that out ?..How many times have we seen the Cubs roll , only to take a team , a triple A team in the Pirates kick their butts ? As I have said many times before, nice to see Theriot and DeRosa sit, Sotto needs some more time off as well..
. . .
Eat your numbers. They beat the Brewers because they scored runs...

A good thought but one that is all fantasy baseball geekness:
Reading about fantasy baseball - as usual, I think most of it is over-commissioning (I'm the king of laissez-faire commissioning actually - which should make Briggs happy), but I kind of liked this idea a little bit:
I mean, I thought about how much I would hate not being able to be the Blue Ward Cyclones - it was almost painful. Or to have a team like the Crab Queens. The Squirrels of Anger however, are just fucked.
From reader E.S.:
Our league (New England Sharks Fantasy Baseball) is a draft-based long-term keeper league with a great incentive for avoiding last place. At each year’s draft, after the beer has begun to flow, but before the picks start, the last place team is renamed by the other owners in a nomination and voting process. (It should go without saying, the viler the proposals, the more enthusiastically they are received). The proud owner is required to refer to his team as the "2006 last-place XXXs" in all communications with other owners for the rest of the year. If they make it out of the cellar, they can get their team name back at the next draft.
The shame and penalty aspect of last week's article probably drew the most responses. I thought that this was the most unique out of those. It might not be the most effective of the bunch in curbing dump trades, but it certainly would inspire me not to finish last.

Supreme Court to MLB: nice try dorkwads
High Court Rejects Fantasy Baseball Case
By Robert Barnes

The Supreme Court today rejected a request to settle a dispute between Major League Baseball and fantasy baseball leagues that have grown rapidly on the Internet.
The justices, without comment, decided not to hear the appeal from baseball, leaving intact a lower court ruling that sports companies do not need the league's approval to use players' names and statistics.
The league said it and the players have the right to control the use of players' names in what the petition said has become a $1.5 billion fantasy sports industry. But lower courts said the Web sites had a First Amendment right to publish information about the players' performances on the field, just as the media do.
In fantasy leagues, participants "draft" players to form their own teams, and their success depends on the real-life performances of the players on the field.

New Low in Celebrity Pathetic-ness
LONDON, England (AP) -- A British newspaper splashed photos of singer Amy Winehouse bloody and bruised across its Friday edition after she allegedly had a fight with her husband.
Amy Winehouse rides with a friend last week. Recent photos appeared to indicate she'd been in a fracas.
The photos, supposedly taken early Thursday morning, showed Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and makeup smeared down her face.
A gossip Web site reported that Winehouse had said her injuries were self-inflicted.
Police confirmed they had been called to an incident at a London hotel by a concerned member of the public but said no charges were filed.
The singer announced Tuesday that she was postponing her upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour dates after she canceled August performances due to "severe exhaustion."
Britain's Press Association said the couple were staying in the hotel after leaving a drug rehabilitation clinic in Essex, east of London.
The Daily Mail also published photos of Winehouse together with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, after the alleged fight. His face and neck were covered in scratches.
The gossip Web site perezhilton.com said it received text messages from Winehouse explaining the incident and denying Fielder-Civil was responsible for her injuries.
"Blake is the best man in the world. We would never ever harm each other," the Web site quoted Winehouse as saying. "I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs ... and rightly said I wasn't good enough for him. I lost it and he saved my life."
"Also, I had four drugged Guatemalan street urchins with me I had also drugged and was about to do a Wiccan ritual over to detoxify my soul. I am just such a pathetic example of celebrity excess. Please give me the LohanHilton treatment with a little bit of Pete Daugherty and Kate Moss thrown in to boot. Because I am just so so lost and you should all care and judge me and tell me what a bad girl I am."
"Please, it's much more important than thinking about anything else. Especially all the war stuff and America's quickly crumbling infrastructure or fantasy sports. It's just so much more important. I'm going to cut myself to raise your awareness. Ok?"
