2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: Gallardo’s 13 Strikeouts Lead Brew Crew
The Phillies and their dream team collected from the Blues Jays, Astros and Rangers, finally clinched their long expected playoff spot. Ultimately, tonight will be nothing without a world series title.
The Brewers finally decided they wanted to start winning again, Yovani Gallardo was the one to lead the charge with thirteen strikeouts. By the way, if you are not a natural fan of one of the team heading to the playoffs how are you not rooting for the Brewers? Small market, beer drinking, baseball town that went all in this year. Please ignore The Prince and K-Rod and enjoy the ride with the Hebrew Hammer.It is always fun to follow the completely irrational style of most baseball writers. Two nights ago the Red Sox were dead if they were swept by the Rays, after a single win Armageddon was called off. Interestingly, after another win the Rays are only three games out if they can close with one more win that leaves them two wins out. If you are the Yankees, do you throw a couple of games just to stick it to the Red Sox? Yes, I am trying to imagine scenarios because there is nothing else going on.
By the way, better development this weekend Scarlett Johanson’s side boob or the Red Sox, freak out? If tyou have not seen ScarJo in all her glory, honestly, sadly, you are not missing much. I’m just saying, if you are a celebrity why would you ever have nude pictures on your phone? Why not wait for air brushing? Scarlett, your butt is nice, but I can go out on any Saturday night in the gaslamp and see equal value.
The Orioles have serve as a fantastic spoiler over the last few weeks. After severely damaging the chances of the Rays, the mighty Orioles have taken vengeance on Red Sox. To this point they have taken two of three. After the Red Sox managed a win everyone took a deep breathe and said it was over, But another loss and where are we?
After a lot of preseason buzz the Royals once again fell short, but watch them next year. After of decade of top picks, they have a group of young prospects that could shock the world.
A glorious pitches Sunday awaits: Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, Jered Weaver, Cole Hamels, Matt Cain and David Price await. David Price is in a must win situation.
At a dinner party this weekend, the following question/statement was posed, “Verlander is closing in on 25 wins, which is a lot, what is the all-time record?” If you know the answer, never read this again, because it is wasting your time. Answer to come. Interestingly the answer to this will be a variation on the name of me first son. I would saw first child, but that would be too cruel
Finally, as apathetic as I have been toward the regular season, I think the post season will be fantastic because I see not dominant team; everyone has a fatal flaw. The Phillies lack in offense, the Brewers peaked early, the D-backs are too you and the Braves are suspect all the way around. In the American league, the Yankees have nobody beyond CC, same for the Tigers and Verlander, the Red Sox might not make the playoffs, the D-Rays were sleep waling most of the year and might back their way in, finally the Rangers are struggling to win the American league west. That is like want to be TubeV Sex porn star struggling to lose her virginity at comic con.
With the final weeks upon us, be careful in county in those individuals that got you to this point, this is not the NFL, things are decided and you need to plan accordingly. If things were close this would be different. But they are not, so, adjust your lineups accordingly.
