Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Brag about your Fantasy/ Rotisserie team thread

This is semi-off-topic, but I love talking about fantasy baseball.  How are you doing this year?  What Mets are helping you?  Who's hurt you?

I've have several teams and only one is doing well (lineup after the bump).  I dropped Glavine (whom I picked up for almost nothing) off one team already.  I managed to pick up Cameron on waiver on the same team, which was nice.

Star-divide

My first place team (Yahoo head-to-head league):

 C J. Varitek (Bos - C)
 1B M. Teixeira (Tex - 1B)
 2B E. Alfonzo (SF - 2B,3B)
 3B D. McPherson (LAA - 3B)
 SS J. Reyes (NYM - 2B,SS)
 OF H. Matsui (NYY - OF)
 OF G. Sheffield (NYY - OF)
 OF G. Anderson (LAA - OF)
 Util R. Hidalgo (Tex - OF
 BN M. Ensberg (Hou - 3B)
 BN J. Burnitz (ChC - OF)
 BN K. Millar (Bos - 1B,OF)
 DL B. Crosby (Oak - SS)  
 SP Jo. Santana (Min - SP)
 SP R. Oswalt (Hou - SP)
 RP T. Hoffman (SD - RP)
 RP B. Looper (NYM - RP)
 P M. Clement (Bos - SP)
 P D. Davis (Mil - SP)
 P K. Benson (NYM - SP)
 BN T. Wakefield (Bos - SP)
 BN M. Redman (Pit - SP)

Proud to Say
Just jumped into first in my 10 team head to head NL only league.  Largely on the strength of our very own david wright and mike cameron.

OBP
Is OBP part of that league?  Because obviously, David's dominating there.

C- Jorge Posada
1B- Richie Sexson
2B- Tony Womack
SS- Cesar Izturis
3B- Melvin Mora
OF- Jim Edmonds
OF- Manny Ramirez
OF- Sammy Sosa
Util- Cliff Floyd
BN- Frank Thomas (preparing to do damage!)
BN- Victor Diaz (about to get dropped again)
BN- Sean Casey

SP- Pedro Martinez
SP- John Smoltz
SP- Kris Benson
SP- Victor Zambrano
SP- Dontrelle Willis
SP/RP- Aaron Heilman
RP- Roberto Hernadez

I fucked up big time in my draft by not drafting closers.  My first fantasy league and I didn't realize how important those save points are.   My offense has been carrying me.

Keep your eyes peeled
Keep your eyes peeled for teams w/ injured closers or 'fired' closers (a la Danny Graves).  You can usually pick up their replacements for almost nothing.  A bad closer (i.e. David Weathers) is better than no closer at all.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
