All-Star Weekend Yippiee!!!!

It’s summer time folks. Officially. There’s something very pleasant about the MLB All-Star Weekend. It usually means I’ve been to the beach several times already and my body is so sun-burnt that wearing T-shirts have become nearly impossible. There’s just something really awesome about the All-Star week for baseball that blows the other All-Star weekends for sports out of the water. The NBA?

It’s a nightmare. I remember watching the ESPN 30 for 30 about the start of fantasy baseball, and they made it sound so cool and neat. Our league (seen above) is turning out pretty nice actually. Aside from our buddy Sweede dropping Brandon Marrow and Chase Utley instead of putting them on the DL slots given, it’s been a pretty tight race. Everyone has pretty decent squads, including yours truly, who happens to have the 2nd best record after week 1. Big deal right? Right. Who’s got the best record? Nonchalant Brendan. Of course he does. You know that…
