So, I've been playing fantasy baseball this year and this has been my very first time playing. It has both opened my eyes, as well as ruined my life. I have never been so knowledgeable of all of the many other baseball players in the MLB, and I find myself rooting for different teams simply because I have one of the players on my fantasy team. Also, if I have players on opposing teams who are playing each other, I'll watch the game and come up with situations that need to happen to best suit my fantasy team (ex: well, so-and-so can get a base-hit and steal a base, but then I need the pitcher to get out of the inning without any runs, and then once they take my pitcher out, I need so-and-so to come in to hit a homerun and get a bunch of RBIs, but not too many runs, because I need my closer to come in and get a save). Crazy! So, in addition to watching all of the Yankees games this year, I now watch all of these other games to see how my players are doing. Also, with a tool called Stattracker, you can see current stats on all of your fantasy players as well as your opponents stats to get up-to-the-minute updates. Needless to say, if I'm ever by a computer, Stattracker is always on and I am always looking at it! Anyways, it has been a lot of fun, but between monitoring all my players and deciding whom I should keep and whom I should trade away and whom I should pick up, fantasy baseball has ruined my life...well, life as I know it...p.s.-The Yankees just lost 6-19 to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays today, but they shut them out yesterday 6-0. What does that mean? It means that Johnson is a piece of $%#^ and Wang is my hero. Heh heh...Johnson and Wang...
