Sure, I could say something about Gimpy Tiger’s crazy-good U.S. Open win over Rocco Mediate, or the NBA Finals, or this morning’s 3 a.m. firing of Willie Randolph, or how Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner threw a hissy fit over the weekend, calling for the National League to “grow up” because they don’t have the Designated Hitter and, as a result, Chien-Ming Wang hurt his foot running the bases in interleague play on Sunday.
But I’m not going to discuss any of those things.
I just want to bring your attention to the fact that I am now in first place in the Prayers for Blowouts Fantasy Baseball League:
Please notice that my team — the prophetically named “Team of Winners” — has made the fewest roster moves of any team in the league. In fact, the second place team has made 10 times the moves my winners have made. That, friends, is known in the business as Having Serious Fantasy Baseball Skeelz.
It’s also occasionally known as Being a Big Nerd.
Either way, I’ll own up to it.

well, since i cant gloat about my place in the PFB standings (yeah, that’s me in 8th), i will at least gloat that i had myself a Rocco Mediate moment over the weekend.
I was in Florida with my lovely wife for a little 4-day break from the kiddos, and i got out to golf twice. On day 2 i played the front nine like i always play (not very well), but on #10 i barely missed a birdie putt and tapped in for par. then on #11 i was on the green in two and sank a 15-foot putt for birdie. then on the par 3 12th i hit an 8-iron to within 4-feet and sank the birdie putt!! not a bad start!
of course, after that i went double bogey / par / triple bogey / bogey / bogey / double bogey.
43 on the back nine. not bad for me. Take that Tiger!

Jason,
I have to tip my hat to you
as the bottom feeder in this little
league of ours…
Do you offer tutoring?
