Good Lord, Mr. Keith, you are hella canned.

I now both know why Willie Randolph sucks so bad and why he thinks Luis Castillo doesn't suck.

(Luis Castillo definitely sucks, by the by, even if he was pretty good like 10,000 years ago.)

That article is pretty funny, but there's a few things wrong with it. It contradicts itself about strikeouts and unintentional walks. How is it that gritty players would put the ball in play so often while simultaneously drawing a ton of walks? They don't. Gritty players don't walk. That shit's for pussies and Albert Pujols. Gritty players bunt, pop up to the second baseman and strike out because they're choking up on the bat so much there's nothing to hit the ball with. The fact that the grittiest player-season of all time had an OBP over .400 kind of makes you scratch your head.

Dude my whole team just shat out its bones and got pu$$y implants. What a great time to drop the ball, guys.

Why couldn't I have had a good week last week?!?

Plus, I told you the Monkeys would pass us all.  Anyhow, I have a 2 and a 3 finish in this little fantasy sports thing we got going on and you can mark it down now, I am winning next baseball season.

Congratulations Monkeys!

I would trash-talk your Clearly Untrue Statement about next year's fantasy baseball as I will surely be winning but... it's still 2007 for God's sake and I'm not quite so crazy as to get to the trash talking quite yet.

I would seriously dig TOUAMB fantasy baseball being even bigger next year, the shallower the talent pool, the more fun it is.

It's so cute to see the little people arguing over who will win fantasy baseball this year. Now if you don't mind, I have a pretend trophy to go polish.

(I drank beer out of it last night. It's disgusting.)

We must look forward, you see, in the face of Great Failure.

This is all we have.

Thanks, all! I couldn't get on line during the time in Vegas because the Hard Rock sees fit to charge extra money for just about everything other than breathing air (because, of course, they can't do that as the only air the provide is thick with cigarette smoke). So, yeah, wanna get on line? $12/day. Go to the gym? $20/day. Coffee and water for breakfast? $30. Jesus fuck, people.

Anyway, thanks for the congrats. I enjoyed it, although I had to cross my fingers with the lineup since I didn't really have the resources to double-check it. Well, I did, but fuck whoever owns that casino.

Also, please try not to forget that we are still playing hockey. Anyone? If you want me to play baseball next year and be a tomato can for you, you have to play hockey now. I will try to provide some more Vegas info later if anyone is interested.

The Walrus refuses to recognize you as the football champion. Also, I tried to join hockey a while ago and it said it was too late to join.

Yeah, that's the tough part about having a hot team's players - they get you all the way there, then when you need them the most, they play one series and then replace the helmet with the ballcap.

I'll be sitting here plotting my revenge until next year - I don't have the patience for fantasy baseball.
