The Syndicate

I'm interested FWIW, even though I sucked last time and lost interest halfway through.

I'll try to be better this time.

Eh, what the hell, I'll take Seattle too.

LA Angels for me as well!

Yankees for me.

I'll take the Twins as well. Thanks!

Apologies for being absent on this! It's been super busy as of late and I was out of town over the weekend. Hopefully my random pick will work out well enough! I pick with very little knowledge anyway so it likely will do better if anything. :P

Week 12: NY Mets.

Week 11: Soggy Lasagna Boys (Cincinnati Reds)

Chicago Cubs please!

Colorado Rockies please!

LA Dodgers for Week 8.

No worries, G-Man!

I really picked the right team this week!

Yeah... what a terrible season thus far.

TONIGHT IS ALL YOUR FAULT! ALLLLLLLL YOURRRRRR FAULLLLLLT!!! :P

I just did the math. At this point, if our bullpen doesn't give up any more runs after that 3-run homer, their overall ERA will go down!

*Sobs into a lasagna*

Edit: Literally gave up another 2-run homer as I was typing this. Man, 2020 can't come soon enough for the Reds.

LOL for whatever reason when I quickly read this I thought you called them the Diamondsucks.

I'll take the Cleveland Indians for week 7.

So what is with the Braves this year? Man, they stink!

I am not doing well. Lol.

I'll take the Pirates!

It happens, don't sweat it!

Thanks G-Man! Just note that I have Arizona this week, I assume that was a typo. Unless of course Baltimore performs better than Arizona, then that's fine.

I think I may switch EZ Fantasy Football over to this new-team-each-week-for-points format.

I am more interested this year than most years as well.

There's probably a reason the top 3 in runs scored all play in the Reds' division.

Interesting, the top 3 are all in the same division (as the Reds, that's the only reason I know), right?

S~V~S wrote:Miamis Dee Gordon got suspended for steroids, and AZ is playing them 3 games this week. AZ has better pitchers in each of those games, so the Diamondbacks are a pretty good pick. AZ, San Fran & Philly are all really close in runs, AZ could have a good week. Their other match ups are Colorado and the Braves. The Braves suck so far this year. Colorado is their toughest opponent this week, so if they do well against them this weekend, they could breeze the rest of it, even with only one day off.

Yeah, I was surprised to see the Braves' current W-L ratio. So far, I've only been looking at the team that certain teams are playing for the upcoming week and trying to judge whether a relatively good team is playing a relatively bad team. I probably need to be doing more research though because my picks have been completely uninformed beyond that.

I'll take the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Even I know enough about baseball to know that's weak.

I'm not doing very well. Which team should I pick for next week?

I read that post way too fast at first and only picked up on the words "my fantasy," "Albert Pujols," and "lots of balls."

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:The Cubs are probably the best team in baseball. The problem is, once the playoffs start that means basically nothing. I think the MLB playoffs are a total crapshoot more than any of the other professional leagues in America.

Why is that?

on paper they're definitely the strongest team in baseball right now. They're great in every area and have plenty of guys on the roster who've won before (three of whom did it with the Sox in 2013, for the record). I'm pretty much a full-time Cubs fan at this point. They need to win.

It'd be pretty awesome if they did. I can't imagine being a hardcore Cubs fan and having to wait out a drought this long.

Anyone seen this MLB predictions generator by 538? Pretty neat.

I'll take the Toronto Blue Jays for Week 4.

I'll pick the Washington Nationals for Week 3.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

S~V~S wrote:I picked the two teams I never want to root for for the first 2 weeks to get them out of the way; next week I start picking for strategy.

That seems sensible enough, especially since your Yankees pick really paid off.

Come on, Royals, kick some ass this coming week.

Just kidding, I don't even have a phone right now.

Hell no. :P

No problem!

AllAlongtheBoardwalk is currently out of town and doesn't think he'll be able to log on, so he texted me to tell you he wants to pick the Yankees.

Week 2 pick will be Kansas City

LOL, I didn't realize that the first time reading over G-Man's list. I guess he meant the Royals then?

Woo! Go Astros!

Houston Astros please.

How many more players would be optimal? I'll start asking around perhaps.

How much time do we have to find three more folks, i.e., when are we starting?

I'm in.
