My Sandbox

This is much more amusing and educational than it had any right to be. The Galaxy are so snarky! I can dig it. I dropped the fantasy updates out of rage and frustration months ago, in large part because of many of the gentlemen in that video. But I always get pulled back into fantasy [...]

West Bromwich Babylon: It was going so well there for a minute or two. Hartman; Robinson, Harrington, Gbandi; Cooke, Grabavoy, Fred, Victorine; Emilio, Fred, Cristman. Sure, I had Brad Davis, and Chivas of Nazareth still lost ground. But at least I didn’t have Davis as captain and still lost ground – that would have been [...]

Looking ahead to week four – Toronto and [...]
