Week 2 has come and gone with a lot of shuffling on our leader board. Its very early (12-13 games played for most teams) and one big hit can leapfrog any manager over the next. There are so many stud hitters and home run heroes who are not “hitting” at all so don’t expect these standings to stand still for very long. Most pitchers have shown good stuff with some slow start exceptions. And then theres the countless injuries! Over 120 MLB players are on the DL. Wow!
Excuses aside, everything will balance out and the season is a marathon, not a sprint. But since the stakes here are bragging rights, those on top are taking advantage over anyone’s idealistic view points for now. Fair enough. Here’s where we stand:
THIS WEEK’S position / LAST WEEK’S position:
1. Kirby’s Got Game (Pete Landt) / LW = 1
2. Beerfest Is On (Chris Elles) / LW = 2 (tied)
3. Cup Joint (Dan Rodriguez) / LW = 6
4. UO Phillies (Casey Landman) / LW = 2 (tied)
5. Mr Wraps (Jon Landman) / LW = 8
6. Ste-phan UrKel (Pat Shillenn) / LW = 7
7. Meat God Steals Home (Rich Schaefer) / LW = 4
8. Bacon Bitz (Tim Tatulli) / LW = 9
9. Malibu Dinerz (Marc Meltzer) / LW = 5
Pete’s kept the #1 slot for 2 weeks in a row now while Elles cut the tie scenario out of the #2 slot. Big jumps for Dan Rodriguez (from #6 to #3) and Jon Landman (from #8 to #5) while some slips took place with Marc Meltzer (from #5 to #9) and Rich Schaefer (from #4 to #7). Anything can happen in the coming weeks! Stay tuned…
Early slumps and countless injuries…
* Red Sox are doing just fine but Big Papi is only hitting only .070 (3-43)? Dan’s upset and wants to trade him. No takers yet.
* Seattle’s closer, JJ Putz, is another one of the countless players to hit the DL. Pat’s only been given 1 lonely save from him so far.
* Tigers are 2-10 with their struggling hitters desperate for a breakout. Jon’s eager for Cabrera to go on a tear ASAP.

Who gives a shit?
I was trying to trade Papi from the second I got him. I don’t care if he’s hitting or not, I don’t want that Red Sox trash on my team.
Remember – Big Papi with no roids is just a fat man.
How can you even have a fantasy with someone on the Red Sox on your team? I may be in last place, but I’d never have any of those goons on my team.
