Fantasy Baseball Week Six

I hate losing by one!  Seriously, it pisses me off.  I really need to pull off a trade to try and improve my closing situation or batting average situation.  I did pick up Michael Brantley, who has been hitting well lately, maybe he can help improve my average.  It is also time to consider looking for a shortstop.

I had seven guys hit under .250.  That is absolutely pathetic.  Oddly enough, my other three hit over .333:  Giancarlo Stanton, Allen Craig, and Mike Moustakas.  Of those three, Craig had the best week.  He had five runs, four home runs, and nine runs batted in.  The dude has been on fire since he came off the DL.

My pitching was pretty solid again, I picked up wins from Sabathia, Gonzalez, and Westbrook.  Wilson had a weird start for me.  He gave up a few runs, then there was a rain delay, so he got yanked.  He started the next day, yet I had him on the bench because nothing on Yahoo said he was pitching.  He had a 108.00 ERA for me.

I am now in 4th place overall and 2nd place in the division behind Ryan.  My record is 40-28-4 and I take on Shelley this week.  I need to win big.

Fantasy Baseball Week Five

And this is why you never talk smack.  Sean defeated me 6-5.  It was actually a pretty good battle.  He started the week winning, then over the weekend I was up 7-3 at one point.  I was actually winning Sunday for most of the day.  Who knows what the hell happened...

My hitting was obviously a bit anemic, hell I had a few guys under the Mendoza Line.  Matt Kemp decided to look a little human this week by only hitting one HR and hitting .222.  My best two hitters were Giancarlo Stanton 5 R/4 HR/6 RBI/.333/.438 and Freddie Freeman 6 R/3 HR/10 RBI/.367/.364.  I would probably give Stanton the edge since his OBP was higher, however, since I did not win that category, it did not really matter.

My starting pitching was pretty good.  The relief pitching shit the bed though.  I guess it was bound to happen at some point and I believe it was pretty much just one game for each pitcher.  My best pitcher was C.J. Wilson, who had two wins, 13 Ks, 2.93 ERA, and a .98 WHIP. 

I dropped to third place overall with a 35-22-3 record.  Ryan surpassed me for first place in the division.  That bastard always starts off slow then takes over the lead.

I am still going slow on Dee Gordon.  He had a pretty good week.  I am open to any trades though.  Especially for a high average hitter or maybe a closer...

Fantasy Baseball Week Four

It is raining here in Florida.  So, I will write about my fantasy team while we wait out the storm.  As you can see, I lost 6-5.  I am still in first place of my division, and third place overall.  Still had some dominating pitching, but my hitting needs to pick up. 

My best player was Mike Moustakas who hit .429/.500 with 3 Runs/1 HR/4 RBI/1 SB.  Kemp also had another great week, as did Aaron Hill.  He was a great pickup over Gordon Beckham.  Dee Gordon needs to start getting on base.  He had two stolen bases this week, but he hit .182 and his OBP was even lower!  If he would have a .300 OBP, he would probably steal ten bases each week.

Sabathia had a nice week as well.  He had two wins and sixteen strikeouts.  Gio Gonzalez continues to be very good this year.  I honestly did not expect him to be this good.

This week I take on Sean.  He better be ready for an ass-kicking...

Fantasy Baseball Week Three

Offord and I have similar teams.  We both have guys who can steal plenty of bases for us (although Matt Kemp is too busy hitting HRs instead of hitting singles) and a good bit of relief pitching.  Actually Offord's team has one starting pitcher.  I believe he is trying a different strategy this season.  He is devaluing the win category and trying to push the other five.  Would normally work, but I have more middle relievers than most people.

With facial hair he looks a little bit less like a douchey frat boy...

In the beginning when I drafted my team, I had a very good feeling.  I mean, I was wary about Matt Kemp replicating his numbers from last year, but I figured Stanton/Hosmer/Moustakas would all improve so it would be a wash.  Well, Stanton and Hosmer have not started out so well, but luckily Kemp is still in "beast mode."

Although, Kemp was not my best player this week.  Instead that honor goes to Freddie Freeman, who got off to a slow start, but redeemed himself with a monster week:  7 Runs, 3 HRs, 14 RBIs, .478/.481.  Yeah, I will take that line every week.  Oh, that Kemp guy was still pretty good:  4 R/3 HR/6 RBI/.381/.458.

I need to see Gordon and Presley get on-base more often.  When they do get on, they usually steal, but a .286 (for both of them) OBP is absolutely unacceptable.  Also, Stanton needs to hit one out of the park.  Seriously dude, go back to Mike.  I dropped Gordon Beckham in favor of Aaron Hill.  I doubt that will last once Allen Craig returns from the DL.

Over on the pitchers side of things, I had a few notable performances from those Nationals starters:  Gio Gonzalez and Ross Detwiler.  I added Jake Westbrook to my rotation , which might be an okay thing.

I am back in the lead of my division with a 25-10-1 record.  I am only three games behind Dustin.  This week I take on Swing'TheBigStick, who is only three games behind me in the division.  I need to trounce him so that I continue to separate myself from the rest of the pack. 

Fantasy Baseball Week Two

How does a guy without any hitting manage to win again?  Oh, dominant pitching.  Suck it Ryan!  I have no mission this year, but to make sure you do not win. 

My best player was Matt Kemp again.  The dude is ridiculous:  7 Runs/4 HRs/8 RBIs/.545 AVG/.615 OBP.  Yeah, he is pretty good.  Aside from him I only had one player hit over .300 for the week:  Mike Moustakas.  And then, I only had one guy hit over .250:  Alex Presley.  Yep, I have a great hitting team.

Pitching-wise, my team was led by a middle reliever.  Jonny Venters had 1 Win/6 Ks/3 Holds/0.00 ERA/1.36 WHIP.  My best starter was CJ Wilson, who is every bit as good as advertised.  He had 2 Wins/7 Ks/1.38 ERA/1.15 WHIP.  Ogando also had a good week, he had a save and three holds, but only four strikeouts.

I ended up picking up Ross Detwiler during the week.  Whenever Allen Craig comes off the DL, I will probably drop Gordon Beckham.  I am also thinking about getting rid of John Mayberry or David Murphy and picking up another starter.  Or maybe trading someone for a solid hitter.

Does anyone else feel like the hitting in the league is way down this year?  It could be too early to think about, but something worth looking into.

I am now 16-7-1 and in second place in my division (third place overall).  I take on Offord this week.  We always have a fun battle.

Fantasy Baseball Week One

As you can see I decided to beat the crap out of James this week.  Okay, just kidding, my team played like crap, luckily, his played worse.  And yes, this season I plan to just post the results like this.  Much easier than me telling you how I fared in each category.

My pitching was a huge disappointment.  Unfortunately a few things did not pan out as I thought they would:  Matt Thornton is not the closer, and Alexi Ogando is not starting nor is he the closer.  I thought that was the Rangers plan, have Ogando close and use Nathan in a setup role.  Guess I should pay more attention.

Oddly enough, I may lack in closers, but I have a bunch of good setup men who can get me holds.  In fact, when you think about it, this might be better.  Bare with my logic for a second.  I decided to pick up Venters and O'Flaherty (both play for the Braves).  The cool thing is that they can both pitch in a game and pick up a hold, whereas there can be only one save.  So, if I have a bunch of really good setup guys, they should help me win that category and help lower ERA/WHIP, right?  Yeah, should work in theory...

The only starting pitcher who did anything useful for me was Jeremy Hellickson.  Yep, 1 Win, 4 Ks, 0.00 ERA/.81 WHIP.  Other than that, everyone else got shelled.

Buster Posey and Eric Hosmer both had nice opening weekends.  Hosmer belted two HRs.  I was also right about Dee Gordon.  Not going to have a super high average, but when he gets on, he flies around the bases:  3 SBs and 3 Runs scored.

My best player though was Matt Kemp.  The dude pretty much picked up where he left off last season.  6 Runs, 2 HRs, 8 RBIs, 1 SB, .412 AVG/.389 OBP.  Not very often you will see a guy have a lower OBP than AVG.  And yes, Kemp must be serious about winning the Triple Crown this year.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Results

A new season is upon us and for once, we actually had people join the league.  16 teams (at one point I was afraid we might have 18 or 20).  I know some people have some fears about a league of this size, but allow me to say that it excites me.  I just wish that I knew we had this many people from the beginning so we could have discussed adjusting roster sizes.  Oh well, always next year.  If this is successful though (meaning, highly competitive), then I think we should discuss making this a keeper league and doing it every year.  Just a thought.  Anyways, on to the draft results.

Allow me to introduce the teams:
Burnett's Eye:  Sean (7th place last year)
Oviedo Pseudonyms:  Gideon's friend?
academic challenge:  Michelle (8th place last year)
Swing'nTheBigStick:  Gideon's friend?
Fuck You All:  James (3rd place last year)
A Chore to Four!:  Ryan (1st place-3x in a row)
DC Buccos:  Jason Offord (5th place)
Something Clever:  Me (6th place)
Game Changers:  Don (JasonI's dad)
Babe Carruth:  Gideon's friend?
El Natural:  No idea
Smutty Bastards:  Dustin (friend of mine)
Big Jacker:  David (2nd place last year)
losing in 3rd:  JasonI (4th place last year)
Darvishsanity!:  Gideon (9th place last year)
Pittsburgh Peas:  Pat (11th place last year)

I like the idea of having two divisions.  Mainly because it changes things up a little bit.  Yahoo divided the league up, and it actually worked out well.  Okay, moving on.

Rounds 1-3

As you can see, I had the second pick.  Unfortunately, Lindsey's computer would not log into Yahoo for me.  I did not get there until the second round.  If I had been there, I may have taken Kemp, but most likely I would have went with Pujols or Votto.  I truly believe that you really need a first baseman in the first round.  Oh well though, Kemp is a fantastic player, but I do not believe he will replicate those numbers. 

Unfortunately by the time my second round pick was coming, I just got into the draft and did not get a chance to see who I took.  Seriously, I had like 14 seconds left to draft, so I took my boy Giancarlo Stanton.  I guess I will have a beastly outfield, haha.

In the third round, I decided to go with Sabathia.  I always want one ace pitcher and it seemed like people were going pretty crazy with pitching early on.  I hate falling into that trap, but it is hard not to allow it to happen.

During this round, there was only pick that I questioned:  Offord took Desmond Jennings in the third round.  Was he ranked that high?  Or does Offord believe Jennings will have a huge season?  I am not making fun of the pick, I just like to know the rationale.  For example, I have no clue why Don would want Asdrubal Cabrera that early in the draft.

Rounds 4-6

Once I realized I was not getting one of the big first basemen, I decided to look for Eric Hosmer.  He was a nice addition last season and I think he will improve.  He could be the kind of guy who breaks into that elite first baseman category.  Although, I will not lie, I was starting to bite my nails toward the end of round four.  I wanted him in round five, but he was the next player available after Phillips (who I would have taken if JasonI did not take him).  It was going to be a huge gamble.

Interesting how an injury can make everyone ignore you.  Buster Posey was taken in the second round in many drafts last season.  This year I picked him up in the fifth round.  That is a nice place for an elite catcher.  My next pick was C.J. Wilson.  I liked that one as well.

I really like that James was able to get Ian Kennedy in the sixth round.  If he regresses a little bit, he might still have as many wins as Wilson or Darvish.  If he does not regress, does James have a 20 game winner for cheap?

Rounds 7-9

Here is the pick I liked:  Dee Gordon in the 7th round.  My point about Asdrubal Cabrera is that he will not replicate last season, but I have a guy who will probably come close to Elvis Andrus numbers.  The dude can flat out fly around the bases.  I am hoping for 50-60 SBs this season.

I actually did not care for the Gio Gonzalez pick.  I have no idea why I took him.  I was not really ready to start drafting closers.  Although, I did make a huge mistake, I really thought Dustin Ackley would be available in the 10th round.  So in the next round I took Freddie Freeman (a nice backup if Hosmer fails-or combine the two of them and they equal Pujols).  Unfortunately, Offord swooped in and saw Ackley sitting there and stole him from me. 

Round 10-12

At this point, I decided to go for some closers.  I went with Marmol in the 10th.  Then I took Ogando in the 11th.  I am not sure if Ogando will be closing or starting (I thought that I read Feliz will be starting this year).  In round 12, I decided to take Moustakas.  I figured since I missed out on the really good third basemen (there are like three), that I might as well wait and take Moustakas.  I believe in him.

I believe Ryan had the steal of this round by taking Jesus Montero (obviously I believe in him as well). 

Rounds 13-15

 I took Hellickson here, but in retrospect, maybe I should have taken Neftali Feliz.  In the 14th round, I took Allen Craig.  I think I will use him as my second baseman.  I just hope that he is as good as we all think he is.  I decided to take Venters after that.  I wanted someone with holds since we use that stat as well.

Offord drafted Bryce Harper and allow me to say kudos.  I honestly forgot about him, but then afterwards wished I had drafted him.  He will be up at some point, and if he is even 1/10th as good as people think, well Offord has an amazing pick.

Rounds 16-18

These are the fill in rounds.  I took Trout and Presley because, well you can never have enough outfielders.  And, I think Trout will have a good year.  Presley, well I just hope he has an awesome year.  Again, Offord had another pick that I really liked:  Adam Dunn.  He was terrible last year, and I do not think there is any way possible he could be that bad again.

Rounds 19-21

Mayberry might end up being a really good pick for me.  I hope that he hits like he did in his limited action last season, I mean one HR every 15 ABs, I will take that...

Rounds 22-23

Eh, Mike Leake.  Nothing special there.  I took Devin Mesoraco with my last pick.  He is my backup in case something happens to Posey.  He has the potential to be a 10-15 HR type of catcher.  I always like to go way out there with that final pick.  I like Pat's pick of Phil Hughes.  I actually wanted to take him instead of Leake, but oh well. 

I would go ahead and try to project each team like I did last year, but I honestly do not know if I have the time for that sort of thing.  Good luck to everyone!  Hope we have a fantastic season.

Fantasy Football Week Sixteen/NFL Pick 'Em Week 17

I lost.  How depressing.  Say it again:  I lost.  Normally I would be okay with finishing in second place in fantasy football, but I lost because of a stupid decision, which is a pretty idiotic way to lose.  Before I explain, the final score ended up 150.26-124.42.  Congratulations Hurricane Arians on a great season!

The first irritating thing was that I set my lineup early in the week and never really checked it again.  Turns out that Mario Manningham did not play.  That hurt, but not all that much, since this is a pretty deep league and there is pretty much no one available.  Hell, from my bench, the best player to plug in was Jacoby Jones and his stellar 4.20 points.

Unfortunately, that was not the part that upset me.  Before I set my lineup, I considered starting the Bills defense against Tebow and the Broncos, but then I decided to stick with Green Bay.  They have not been lighting up points-wise for me most of the season, but they have been pretty consistent.

The Bills scored 30 points, whereas the Packers only scored 4.  How does that make me feel?  26 more points if I used the Bills.  You do the math...

Anyways, my best player was Matthew Stafford, but since I already his picture before, I will use Frank Gore, who had a pretty good season.  Actually, I lied, I never used Stafford, but I really like this picture.

NFL Pick 'Em Week 17
113-118 and in 11th place.  Last week I was 7-9.  I need to go 11-5 in order to finish above .500.

Fantasy Football Week Fifteen/NFL Pick 'Em Week 16

Steel City League

Well I lost in Kevin's league, so I ended up in sixth place...whatever.  In the SCL, I beat the #1 seed, Mean Machine, and moved into the finals.  It was actually a pretty close match, 142.54-129.58, although 12.50 of those points came on Monday from Frank Gore.  Mean Machine did not have anyone playing Monday, so I knew I had already won.

My best player was Matthew Stafford, who put up 31.14 points, but my biggest surprise came from Reggie Bush.  He scored 25.90 points, he is always so damn up and down (actually he has been playing pretty well the last few weeks).

This week I take on Hurricane Arians, who I lost to back in week three.  I feel pretty confident that I can win this league.

NFL Pick 'Em Week 16
Last week I was 5-10.  I am now 106-109 on the year and in 11th place. 

Fantasy Football Week Fourteen/NFL Pick 'Em Week 15

Kevin's League
Congratulations Offord!  You pretty much curb-stomped me.  Thanks man!  I thought we were friends.

Seriously, he beat me 141-72.  I have no excuses.  His team is just that good right now.  He has scored 140+ the past three weeks.  Yeah, his team is doing fine and I am hoping he wins it.  I am now playing for fifth place.  I could care less how that turns out.

Steel City League
Now this was an awesome battle.  I beat Shousetown Steelers 126.58-124.18.  That is pretty damn close and a little bit nerve wracking.  Next week I take on Mean Machine, who is the first seed, but I think I beat him during our only match up this season.

Unfortunately, I will not have DeMarco Murray since he is out for the rest of the season.  At least I will still have Nate Washington, who was my best player last week.  Way to go Nate!

NFL Pick 'Em Week 15
Last week I went 8-8, moving my record to 101-99 and to put me in 9th place. 

Fantasy Football Week Thirteen/NFL Pick 'Em Week 14

Kevin's League
I got my ass kicked.  Mainly because I started Josh Freeman and he was injured.  I actually started a few people I would not have, but I was pretty much focused on going to the game.  I still would have lost though.  My team is falling apart right as we head into the playoffs.

My best player was Percy Harvin, who scored 28 points for me.  After that, everyone else was mediocre. 

This week I take on Offord in the first round of the playoffs.  My team is going down, and his team is just getting super-hot.  Should be interesting.

Steel City League
I won 145.12-73.06.  You would think this many wins in a row would move me up in the standings, but sadly it has not.  The playoffs start this week and I am the fourth seed.  I honestly think I have a good chance to win this league.

As an added bonus, I have decided to include my picks this week.  Unfortunately, some of these might change.

Last week I went 10-6 and moved up to 7th place with a record of 93-91.  Just need another week like that...

Fantasy Football Week Twelve

Kevin's League
I lost to Team Milksteak 105-71.  Thanks Mike Wallace for not trying to score points.  Also, thanks to Drew Brees for putting up 44 points to almost beat me by himself.  What a dickbag...Anyways, this loss dropped me into sixth place with a 6-6 record.  Luckily, I have also clinched the final playoff spot.  I could move up if I win next week, since everyone is 6-6.  I also have scored the lowest amount of points in the league, which is mainly due to the last few weeks.

My best player this week was Percy Harvin, who scored 16 points.  That is pretty sad when your best player only gets 16.  My quarterback situation is seriously messed up, I may need to pick someone up for Freeman.

Steel City League
My sixth win in a row.  I am still in fourth place though.  I beat DC Yinzer 94.74-78.78.  Way to go me! I really do not have a player that did anything amazing.  Pretty much everyone scored what they were supposed to.

I guess I will post a picture of DeMarco Murray.  He had a good week.  Next week I take on one of the bottom teams, so hopefully I will get that 7th win in a row...

Fantasy Football Week Eleven

Kevin's League
Two men enter, both at 5-5, one comes out 6-5 and the other comes out 5-6.  I really thought for sure Offord was going to beat me on Monday, but I lucked out.  I was winning 80-37 going into Monday, but I had Green-Ellis and he had Brady, Welker, and Gronkowski.

Fortunately BJGE decided to actually show up and put up ten points for me.  I beat Offord 90-80.  My best player this week was Josh Freeman, who I almost did not start.  I figured against the Packers he would not do so well and that maybe I should pick up someone to replace Matt Schaub.  Boy, was I wrong.  Freeman scored 21 for me.

This week I take on Team Milksteak, who is in first place and has secured himself a playoff spot.  I beat him last time 128-114.  I hope my team can put up those kind of points again.

Steel City League
I won 124.90-112.14.  Still racking up the points, even with Foster on a bye week.  My big player this week was Nate Washington or Matthew Stafford.  Nate had a few less points, but it was such a nice surprise, since he surpassed his projected stats by 17.

I moved into fourth place and now have a five game winning streak.  Not too shabby for a league that I honestly thought I was out of after the first three weeks.

NFL Week Eleven Pick 'Em

Last week I decided to go out on a limb on some of my picks.  I figured that if I was right, I could gain some major ground, unfortunately, I was wrong on the majority of those picks.  I went 5-11 and dropped to 11th place with a 68-72 record.  I am trying to play it a little safer this week...

Fantasy Football Week Ten

Kevin's League

Talk about getting beat down.  I thought I might go on a winning streak after last week, boy was I wrong.  I got destroyed by Couch Potato Hero's 84-58.  I am now 5-5, but still in third place.  A down year for everyone pretty much.

Julio Jones and BenJarvus Green-Ellis both netted me zero points, which was one of the main reasons I lost.  If I had started Antonio Brown and Jonathon Stewart, along with the Bengals defense, I still would have lost, but it would have been closer.

Matt Schaub had 20 points for me, which was a nice bonus considering the Texans insane running game of late.  Also without Andre Johnson, they have not really been passing much. 

Steel City League
Another win and I am now in fourth place.  I beat Community Pillars 141.56-56.90.  Not too bad if I do say so myself.  Arian Foster racked up 30.60 points, which is most due to a huge 78 yard pass from my boy Matt Schaub.  See how that crap works out? 

Unfortunately, Frank Gore left the game against the Giants with a slight knee injury.  I have no idea if he will be able to play next week.  Also next week is Arian Foster's bye week.  I could be in trouble without two of my best players.

NFL Week Ten Pick 'Em

I guess now that there are Thursday games, that means I have to make my picks a little earlier.  Last week I was 8-6 (would have been better if either PA team could have won) and my record is 63-61, putting me in 9th place.

Fantasy Football Week Nine

Kevin's League
Back to the winning, that is what I like to see!  I beat Earthurriquakeacane! 97-88.  I am now 5-4 and still in third place.

My best player was sitting on my bench, Julio Jones scored 28 points and I did not start him.  I decided to go with Antonio Brown, who did put up 10 points, so I really cannot complain.  My best player that I did start ended up being Mike Tolbert, who scored 19.

Next week I take on one of the worst teams in the league, which means I will get destroyed.  I might have Jahvid Best back, plus Jonathon Stewart is back from a bye week.  My big question is should I start the Bengals defense against the Steelers or the Jets against the Patriots?  Probably go with the Jets.

Steel City League
I beat Shousetown Steelers 114.54-79.42.  I have now won three in a row and have moved up to fifth place.  Arian Foster and Reggie Bush were beasts this week.  About damn time that Bush does something for me.

Next week I take on Community Pillars, who is also 5-4.  I knew my team should be awesome and it seems to finally be coming together.  I am projected for over 120 each week.

Fantasy Football Week Eight

Buffalo has cheerleaders?  That is weird...

Kevin's League
I lost again, dropping to 4-4.  I am still in third place, which is not too bad.  Victorious Secret beat me 136-84.  His team just had a great week.  My team was not so bad considering it was a few bye week replacements.

My best player was actually the Cincinnati defense, which scored 27 points for me.  Other than that, my team was pretty much average.  The Steelers shut down BenJarvus Green-Ellis (0 points, haha) and Mike Wallace/Antonio Brown combined for 19 points (they were projected for 18).  No one really had a big game for me, which cannot happen when Cam Newton scores 30, Adrian Peterson goes for 27, and Buffalo's defense puts up 25.  Those three almost beat me themselves.

Steel City League
Get killed in one league, doing the killing in another.  I beat The Sure Shots 163.28-58.46 and jumped into seventh place, and I have scored the fourth most points in the league.  Pretty sweet.

My best players were Stafford, Gore, and Foster.  Nate Washington also stepped up and made me look smart for picking him up awhile back.  The most points I received came from the Buffalo defense (gotta love a bye week pick up). 

I hope this means I might be getting on a hot streak...

NFL Week Eight Pick 'Em

Well last week was at least a winner.  I went 7-5 putting me at 48-49 on the season and in 8th place. 

No Carl video today, instead I just want to make an observation about the whole Terrell Owens mistaken suicide thing.  Here is the story. 

People have been making jokes about it and I am sure that at some point I will make a few jokes myself.  I do want to remind people though that depression is not funny and anyone can suffer from it and even hide it from their friends and family. 

With that being said, T.O. should probably just not have a publicist.  Also, why do these women have free access into his home.  Does he not have a butler who refuses entrance to people when he is sleeping?

Fantasy Football Week Seven

Kevin's League
I hate when I lose like this.  I lost to Poop Sex 140-113...normally 113 points would be enough to beat anyone, unfortunately for me the Colts decided to just allow the Saints do whatever they wanted.  He had Sproles and Colston, who each had 21 points. 

I had some fairly good performances, but none were better than my kicker Mason Crosby.  Dude put up 17 points for me.  That is pretty impressive.  Also, I need to stop starting Reggie Wayne, the Colts are really bad.

I am a little worried about next week, I have a few players on bye and with Jahvid Best possibly out again, things could be a little rough.  Anyways, I dropped to third place, but the guy I am taking on also has a bunch of byes as well.

Steel City League
Hey now, a win is a nice thing.  I beat dang woodchucks 118.22-98.04.  I did that without a running back, since Frank Gore was on a bye week and I forgot to start DeMarco Murray, who racked up 31.20 points.

Unfortunately, I am still in 10th place with a 3-4 record.  I take on another basement dweller this week, so maybe I can get back to .500.
