Baseball Challenge Update

Over the course of the MLB/Baseball Challenge season I plan to post up weekly updates concerning the goings on in the For Love of the Game Baseball Challenge Group. This will likely include who had big weeks, who crashed and burned and what the latest trash talk on the bulletin board was. Don't forget, that if you currently aren't participating in Baseball Challenge and would like to - it's NEVER too late to start. Hit me up here, and I'll get the invitation out to you right away. So here we go...

THIS WEEK IN BASEBALL CHALLENGE:

• M. Ross (A-Ross' brother) is the hyped newcomer. He has started off with strong picks, and even stronger trash talk. (gained the lead one day and promptly stated that he "liked the view from the top" only to lose his lead to Zeb the very next day) He fits right in with the Player Haters Ball (hate, hate, hate)
• Zeb also had a pretty solid week going, until he decided to ride with an ALL Seattle/Cleveland lineup ALL WEEKEND, only to be rained/snowed out ALL WEEKEND. No worries though, as he reminds Laef that last year he made up a 186 point deficit in only 3 days.
• Greg got rocked for -20 by A.J. Burnett, and is now holding down the bottom 3 with authority. Don't expect much of a fight for position from Strick or Damon though.
• Laef pulled off a respectable week, with no help from Pujols for the most part.
• A-Ross, I would say is leading the way in shit talking (must run in the family) despite only mediocre scoring. Nicely done.
• And me? Well, I've been distracted due to the fact that I'm battling a severe depression brought on by the realization that the Yankees have yet to put a starter on the mound who could get past the 5th inning. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

All this, and it's only the first week. Good thing that according to Zeb I only have one more week until I quit playing.
