You've been fairly warned: this post is about baseball. Sorry, everyone.
My fantasy team managed to go 8-2 in Week 1, good enough for a 1.5 game lead. I drafted a late round steal in Rick Ankiel, who posted a 1.226 OPS with 3HR and 6 RBI. He was easily my team MVP. My team's biggest letdown? Adam Dunn managed a meager .176 Slugging %. The only reason to have Adam Dunn is so he'll hit home runs. He did not do this. Hopefully he comes around soon.
Speaking of MVP, here are the league "awards" I gave out for Week 1...
MVP (batter): Derek Lee, posting a 1.303OPS with 3HR and 4RBI
MVP (pitcher): Ben Sheets pitched 15.1 innings with 15K, 0.00ERA and a 0.59 WHIP...ridiculous.
Of course, these awards are probably little consolation to The Beer Runs, who went 3-6.
GOAT (batter): Robinson Cano, who committed 2E while only managing a .391OPS. Hard to call a player on a winning team a 'goat', but this was just bad.
GOAT (pitcher): If Pedro Martinez had done any better than a 10.8ERA (or just not pitched at all), San Diego Sliders would have gone at least 5-5 rather than 4-6...oops!
In the real world, the Cardinals are off to a pretty solid start, although last night's loss was disappointing. We just have to accept that our bullpen, which has been so good for a while, is just not that solid this year, and we're going to blow some close games as a result.
