Slackin Already
By Mike | April 11, 2007
This blog is only a few months old and already I’m going weeks in between posts. But don’t worry, my dear and faithful reader (I’m pretty sure I don’t have readers yet), I haven’t abandoned this blog. I still fully intend to post at least two or three times a week. I’ve just been abnormally, and quite unexpectedly busy in the past few weeks. In fact I’ve only seen one inning of Cubs baseball so far this year. Three if you count spring training. If I’m not careful I may end up writing this season off before I even get into it. I was excited about when the season started, but if they’re all but eliminated by the end of June… I have other things to do than bitch about the Cubs.

Raise your hand if you were happy to see snow this morning? Yeah me neither. I hate snow in general, I certainly don’t appreciate having to deal with it during baseball season. The weather better improve by this weekend because I have tickets for Sunday’s game, and I’d prefer not to freeze my ass off watching it.

Anyone in an ESPN fantasy baseball league? I don’t like ESPN leagues. Football or baseball. I’ve almost always been in Yahoo! leagues, so maybe I’m just used to how they do things. Or maybe it’s just the guy running the league that messes it up, since both times I’ve been in one he’s been the commissioner. But I can’t imagine that’s it. He may have tweaked some things, but I’m guessing he didn’t venture too far from the defaults.
I wouldn’t really complain since I didn’t volunteer to set up the league, but to top off their crappy format, ESPN hosed their waiver system. As of this afternoon (4/11) I had one pending waiver request, which would take affect on 4/5. Apparently this is a system wide issue, and to fix it, they are resetting every team in every league back to its post draft status, and then running the scoring from there. So no our commissioner, and presumably every one else’s, has to manually adjust the lineups and scores back to what they were supposed to be for the first week and a half of play. How many years has ESPN been running fantasy leagues that they can’t have bugs this size already worked out?
