Fantasy Friday.

CURRENT STANDINGS:

1.) Kyle (obviously.)
2.) Geoff (inexplicably)
3.) Lotz
4.) Pat the Rock
5.) Don (huh?)
6.) Mikey
7.) Ruther

Geoff and Don both move up a spot, while Ruther now dwells in the cellar. Kyle still in the lead thanks to Big Time Timmy Jim.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK THAT’S NOT ON MY TEAM:

Kelly Johnson, 2B, Arizona Diamondbacks (Team Mikey/Waiver Wire/Team Don)

Proving once again that he is one of the worst managers in our league’s history, Mikey has gold in waiver wire pick up Kelly Johnson. He drops Johnson and over his next 2 games, he is 5-10 with 2 HRs, and 5 RBI. Way to go, mang. Classic Mike D’Angelo right there. If I didn’t have Chase Utley, I’d have picked him up in a heartbeat. I almost did, just on principle. Arch-rival Don swoops in and says yoinks.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK THAT IS ON MY TEAM:

Paul Konerko, 1B, Chicago White Sox

I picked him up mid-week, so I can’t really say he’s been on my team this whole time. My team has been falling apart offensively thanks to my inability to select players from different teams. I have 3 Atlanta Braves, 3 Philadelphia Phillies, and 3 Tampa Bay Rays. It sucks having to bench BJ Upton, but I can’t play Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, and BJ Upton every day. Plus, Michael Bourn is killing it. So, there’s hope. Plus I just got Verlander for free! Thanks for dropping him after one bad start, Jason.

Konerko’s week:
.421, 5 HRs, 8 RBI, 5 runs, 4 BB

JASON HEYWARD UPDATE:

Past week — .158, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 3 BB
Season to date — .239, 5 HR, 17 RBI, 9 runs scored, 13 BB

Horrible, horrible week for Jason the Destroyer. Perhaps I’ve put too much pressure on him? All I know is that he was slumping so badly that I actually sat him. I didn’t even play anyone over him. I just sat him. Of course, we all know what happened then. Yep, he hit his lone home run of the week. Figures. Perhaps he just wanted everyone else to feel good about themselves? I mean, he was hogging the spotlight for a while. Maybe he wanted to share? The Braves have lost 9 games in a row, and to put it on a 20-year-old rookie would be ridiculous. But I kinda feel like as Heyward goes, the Braves go. Sorry, Robbie.

DAYS UNTIL THE WWF BELT IS MINE AGAIN FOR THE 5th CONSECUTIVE TIME:

156

Sorry guys, no Fantasy Friday update next week.  I’ll be sipping some fruity drink with an umbrella in it while sitting on a bar stool at the swim up bar in Jamaica.  And yes, I just said I’d be drinking something fruity.  Make fun of me all you want, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to drink girly drinks whilst vacationing in paradise.  I hope it rains when we’re gone.
