Who Ya Got?

Prince Fielder v. Guillermo Mota, the entire Los Angeles Dodgers security staff, and possibly a stray hot dog vendor. I gotta say, I'm leaning towards Prince on this one. I would be SHOCKED if someone on the Dodgers didn't get drilled tonight. Say what you want about Prince (and a certain someone on this blog has), I believe he is looked at as a leader in the locker room, and someone is willing to take a fine/suspension for him. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I stayed up until 1 a.m. to see this happen live, but with 2 outs in the ninth inning of a THIRTEEN run game, it sure looked bush league to me.

Also, that loss should count as 2, or perhaps 2.5 losses. You have your "ace" out there, and you lose by THIRTEEN RUNS. I bet there is a statistic out there that says that if you lose by 13 runs, your chances of being in the playoffs are pretty fucking slim. I'm glad it was on at 3 a.m. CST so I wasn't tempted to watch.

Laying Down The Guantlet to Loaf Cobra

Bear and I currently reside in a 9-team fantasy football keeper league. We desperately need a 10th. I am sure Bear hasn't gotten around to talking to you about this given his busy, busy schedule. This is the third year of the league, so inherently, you and the other new guy, are going to be at a major disadvantage initially because the "top" 24 guys will be gone. The good thing is that you would presumably get 4 of the top 8 picks (assuming everyone keeps three), and the fact that we are all fucking morons and are bound to let someone go that is really good. Other factors: cost is $40, draft is August 16th in Stoughton, WI. Bear is allegedly going, even though he hasn't been to a draft yet, and has made the playoffs two years in a row due to his shrewd dealing (traded Shaun Alexander (whom he picked up off waivers) for Tom Brady two years ago) and the Hitler-esque way in which he rules his team. Drafting via list can be done. You are a gigantic, bulbous, and smelly vagina if you don't.
