Watching the August 6th ball game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets... Jae Seo taking on Greg Maddux. Top of the 3rd right now (don't tell me how it ends!) and its 1-0 Mets with the Cubbies getting their first base hit of the game. I'm a Cubs fan at heart, even though the game I tried to attend in 2003 was rained out -- ironically the same game that this guy attended.
So onto the baseball news to tie me down during FSN updates that are completely useless for me.
- It looks like former Cub sensation Sammy Sosa is unlikely to play in 2006 after turning down a contract offer with the Washington Nationals.
- Fantasy Baseball at MLB.com is back which means I'll have some pool-based research to get into.. hopefully by Monday I'll have an announcement.
- Chipper Jones was late for training camp for the first time ever due to his kid. That's just one of them sad tales, really.
- The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have finally decided on their team name. Well, a judge decided it for them, but ah well. They still have the name Anaheim, and that's all that counts, or something. All in all, it seems odd: New Yorkers have no problem cheering for New Jersey sports franchises, so I don't get why the Angels were so unpopular in the LBC.
- Jason Schmidt is ready for 2006, where he expects to do much better than last year. Why doesn't he just admit that he heard he was in my fantasy team last year and decided to take it easy?
Oh yeah, don't forget to post a comment here if you want to be in this fantasy baseball thing.
