Rebounding from Rock Bottom

This will be the last blog I write with Boston in last place. Aside from the bad news I received recently regarding Yoshi, things appear to be on the up and up. The Red Sox are... wait, what's that? What's the bad news I received? Well, it turns out Yoshi is cheating on me. My partner has been playing in a fantasy baseball league behind my back. You know how it goes, first you start getting cryptic messages then you find out somebody named Pete invited your Yoshi to join his "fantasy baseball league."

Sadness. Betrayal. Cocaine and Mafia wars. No, I didn't just finish watching the Italian film "Gomorrah"; I just found out why Yoshi is hip to comprehensive MLB statistics and transactions (minus the cocaine and Mafia wars).

When you play fantasy baseball, you track how every player is performing. What random players did I draft, who are performing amazingly well in the first few weeks, can I package together and trade to the nitwit invited into the league who was luckily awarded the first pick and who inadvertently drafted the great Tim Lincecum? A schemer. That's what I'm dealing with. What about you? Look for parallels in your spouse or significant other. I hope you don't find any.

Not to say it's been all bad. I only get the good Yoshi: insightful data analysis, who's doing what where, and possible transactions to look out for. Basically, he's been perfect. No griping. No, "Why do you wait three weeks in between each blog?" Or, "Have you heard of grammar? Try using some every once in a while." Instead, all I get is, "...I know, I totally agree. The Red Sox should trade Carl Crawford for Starlin Castro." Which was a joke Yoshi! When you said "yes" my ears should've perked up. Humor is not your thing. Of course I had no idea that he was a shortstop phenom; but you did. You did because you've been following him behind my back in your secret fantasy baseball league!

So no, I won't write another blog while the Red Sox are in last place because they will win tomorrow, the Blue Jays will lose, and they will be tied for fourth (kind of the same as last place, but only if you are a pessimist). And no, I will not live in the dark anymore. If Yoshi wants to play ball with Pete, I won't stand in his way. Just as long as Pete knows that Yoshi is only using him as an avenue to gather in depth analysis so he can contribute greater insight to what we started: Greg and Yoshi Talk about the Red Sox (and don't mention that asshole Pete).
