The Fantasy Basketball playoffs are going well so far. However, one of my teams dropped from the 2nd seed to the 4th seed in what a ridiculously hot streak by the team in 4th. They finshed the season with a 24-0 (8 pts per week) streak against idle managers (dumbasses), and caught and passed me (I had a 10 point lead 3 weeks ago). The person in my division caught me, too. However, we had been battling for the division lead for the last two months; and considering how often my players have been injured this year I am not too concerned about that.

The Baseball Season has started, but more importantly that means the fantasy baseball season has started. YEAH, YEAH! I am in 1 league that looks like it will be the most fun league that I have been in. The message board is averaging 3 posts a day of people trash talking, and every team in the league has made at least 1 roster move. I missed most the draft, because it was on St. Patrick's Day; so, my team has some work to do. However, I was lucky enough to get Jonathan Pappleborn off waivers yesterday before his save. Score one for the BEEFCAKE.

Also baseball related, I am in a 9x6 weekly head-to-head league that uses weekly rosters. This league is retarded. It has wins, saves, and holds as a category, but only 3 spots for starting relief pitchers. What the fuck? The league also has total bases, AVE, OBP and SLG as categories, also retarded. And to cap it off you get 3 bench spots and start 15 players. So it is impossible to have any depth on your team. I brought this up with the league on the message board, and this is how the commish responded.

"more roster spots: i'm disinclined to add more roster spots because i don't want teams to hoard players; i'd rather have more players available in the FA pool so weaker teams can be more competitive. it's harder to hold on to first place if you don't have depth. "

Of course, it's harder to hold on to 1st if you don't have depth, that is why good owners/managers develop depth on their bench. Also the reason a team is weak, generally, is b/c the owner fucked up the draft and doesn't pay attention to the waiver wire.
