Today, fantasy baseball; tomorrow, the world!

Read it and weep, bitches:

That’s right. Yours truly has taken over the top spot in Ryan VB’s Cardinals bloggers fantasy league. There’s no need to point out that this is a temporary thing; I am well aware of that. Just let me bask in the glow of leading a roto-scored league this late in the season.

Myself, I prefer the head-to-head version of fantasy baseball. But I always play one league every season, roto-style. And let me tell ya: I freaking stink at roto-style fantasy baseball. Somehow, though, the gentlemen on my squad have put it together, especially in the past couple of weeks or so.

After starting the season off terribly (I was near the bottom in all categories), The 26th Man team has sustained its buckwilditude for a good six or so weeks. The hitters started, um, hitting, as April drew to a close, and the pitching staff, led by Jason Schmidt, has been bonkers since the beginning of May. Who knew that a relief corps that employed the likes of Todd Jones and Tyler Walker could keep a team in the middle of the pack in saves?

Alas, we all know what they say about good things. I just hope the fellas can help me keep things respectable.

p.s. Peace to the other Cards bloggers in this league. Major-league shout-outs to the aforementioned Cardinals Diaspora as well as Fungoes, Matty Fred, Redbirds Fun, Captain Obvious and Redbird Ramblings. If I missed you, I apologize.

p.p.s. If anyone at all cares, this league is different than the one I have occasionally posted about. That one is my money league on Sportsline I help run with my friend Chris E. I’m doing much worse in that league.
