Lady Loves Pinstripes: Fantasy Team Update

Battle of the Blogs is moving right along, and been fun challenge thanks to Double G Sports.

My team, Lady Loves Pinstripes has kept first place status in the Mickey Mantle Division, leading by six games.

The Mickey Mantle Division is by far the weakest division in the league, as none of the five teams are playing .500 baseball.

This week Lady Loves Pinstripes is playing our League Owner Double G Sports, who is last place in the Willie Mays Division. Ironically, Double G Sports still has a better record than Lady Loves Pinstripes, and looking at the standings Willie Mays Division is the AL East of Battle of the Blogs.

It is insane to think if the league ended today Lady Loves Pinstripes would be post-season bound and Double G Sports would not make it.

Well, Double G Sports is kicking my butt right now, as my two heavy hitters Arod and Werth are both killing my batting scores. The Yankees are winning, thank god and Arod has been awful considering he was my first pick. Werth and the beat-up Phillies are sure to turn it around at some point.

Double G Sports has the three hot New York batters in Jose Reyes, Rob Barajas and Robinson Cano. He also has the struggling Mark Teixeira who looks worse each at bat and potentially might be moved until the injured Yankees return.

Let’s hope Lady Loves Pinstripes can get it going over the holiday weekend and keep first place status, as Battle of the Blogs continues…..

FANTASY LEAGUE UPDATE 05.01.2010:

April was not quite as successful for Lady Loves Pinstripes fantasy team, compared to my pure and very real New York Yankees.

Alex Rodriguez‘s struggles continue to plague my team. Arod’s performance is my tremendous advantage that has not been fruitful just yet.

Injuries have been difficult as Mike Cameron remains on the DL, recently joined by ace pitcher Jorge DeRosa and stints by Aaron Hill and Jason Werth whom are both back healthy. Werth is back to himself completely, thank god.

Now, left with Cameron and DeRosa on my DL. DeRosa is way to good to give-up, so he will stay put but Cameron still not convinced. Cameron has kidney stones and knowing how pro athletes come back way to quickly, this injury could touch him a lot more. Continue reading ‘Fantasy Update: Battle Of The Blogs’ »
