Ooh, we've entered mom territory!

That is exactly what your mom said to me last night, Fink.

See, when I say "don't even go there..." it implies that I already anticipated the joke, and therefore, your repetition of the joke is neither clever nor funny.

Get out of here, Umveg.

s**t!  Jimmy Rollins is probably going to go on the DL!   that will make 5 players for me so far!

In today's edition of THE SMACK REPORT (tm), I'd like to spotlight vote_for_palpatine.

*****

vote_for_palpatine, or "vfp" as he is known to those who know him, talked a big game on draft night.  So confident in his abilities he was, he boldly autodrafted on purpose, just to see how easily he could overcome the screwjob the computer handed him.

Unfortunately for vfp, we are nearly done with the season (having played roughly 5% of the games so far), and vfp's goose is all but cooked.  In a three-way-tie for last place, there would seem to be little to no hope for a charge to the midsection of the standings.

Fare thee well, vfp, and better luck next year.

Last vfp, is last.

I wouldn't count him out just yet,  the season is long.

One minor drawback to fantasy baseball - when it interferes with your real life rooting interest.

I'm a Cub fan.  I have Trevor Hoffman on my team.  Cubs down 6-3, bottom 8.  Of course I'm rooting for the Cubs to score at least 4 and take the lead.  There's no way I'm rooting for the score to stay 6-3 so Hoffman can come in and get the save.

But...

...there's this tiny little voice in my head, saying "The Cubs aren't going anywhere this year anyway - root for Hoff!"

SHUT UP, VOICE!!!

(ed. note: this was written after the cubs scored 4 in the 8th, not before)

nothing will stop me from rooting for the Phillies.

Don't get me wrong, I never root against the Cubs.  Just like I don't eat that Krispy Kreme donut on the counter.  But it can be tempting...

I used to dig the Phillies even when they were playing the Jays for the World Series. Kruk, Dykstra, Williams, etc... Great team.

Nowadays, I don't really root for any team, baseball or basketball. The fantasy games have helped me just enjoy the sports period. I used to be a Knicks, Raptors and Jays guy, but I don't really care anymore.

Damn. The worst part is I can't even tank the season since I'm on bottom anyway. Just you wait though - once Blake Griffin is healthy, you're ALL screwed!

BWAH-HA-HA!

Nice one, Frinky. ;)

I had ManRam last year, the suspension year, and decided to hang on to him anyway. (someone offered me a trade maybe 2 days before he came back. Whatever!) Looking back, I should've dropped him, because he was very hit-and-miss when he came back anyway.

It got Warbler to say "ew", so I feel its launch was sucessful.
