Is this Pujols? No. Is it an incredible dick-ish picture of Jayson Werth that I've been waiting ages to have a legitimate use for? Yes.

This is a late post, but a late post is better than a never post ... Last night's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks evens the series at 1-1 and saw Randy "Big Unit" Johnson post his 286th career victory, good enough to tie former Phillies great Robin Roberts at 27th all-time...

Today, I'm going to talk a bit bout 2008 fantasy baseball sleepers and deep sleepers. A good fantasy baseball manager enters a draft with list of players they have deemed to be undervalued or primed for a breakout and will target said players. The key is to not overvalue your sleepers...
Berkman Hits HR #301 To Cement Moehler's Win Over Arizona
Husband and Big Bro have headed over to Brotherman's to have a testosterone fest watching Kobe prove he don't need no stinkin whatshisname to be Da Man. Or something. Therefore, I am here in the house with too many kidz, trying to write, so this is going to be short.

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Bourn might only have one hit in six at-bats, but he’s proven his fantasy baseball worth ten-fold in only two games so far in 2008.
Bourn has an RBI, which he earned with a bases loaded walk in the Astros opening game, which constitutes the teams...

As the fingers start pointing in Houston as to who should be blamed for the Astros' misery, Ed Wade is drawing most of them. Yet, holds the least amount of blame.
Silver Blech Is Finally OVAH And I Wish Interleague Play Would Get The Boot
I suppose I should try to find something good to say about the Astros showing at the Roasting Park in Arlington, where it was supposedly 96 degrees at the start of each game. The Box is The Hot Box in the cheap seats in the middle of the summer, but it isn't 96 degrees and at least...

Miguel Tejada Leads The Hit Parade And Roy Oswalt Wins
Well, the guys certainly got on base tonight. AND they scored, too - none of this leaving 2 or 3 guys on for 3 or 4 innings stuff. AND Carlos Lee FINALLY broke the 0 fer 11 skid of Astros not being able to hit with bases loaded.

Wandy Pitches An Outstanding Game But Gets Zero Run Support
And that bout says it all. He pitched 7 innings - would have easily thrown a CG if he hadn't been removed for a PH in the 8th (Jason Useless Michaels who struck out on a ball in the dirt with the tying run on third) and gave up a clean single up the middle followed by a double...

In the second installment of this series, I'd like to talk about a few players who can play both second and third base, and who would likely move to third if the Astros acquired them. I do think a move like this might actually be the most likely one for the Astros to...

Moehler Pitches Great But Gets No Run Support And No Win
Grounding into DPs, as usual, leaving bases loaded TWICE (well, once it was Moehler, who hits like my granma in a wheelchair, so I can let that pass) and basically sucking.
Boggs and Brad Thompson are NOT good pitchers and they looked better than they should have. Heck, in the 7th...
