Fixing the WordPress glitch part 4

Catastrophe!

Carlos Lee envokes many differing emotions. He killed any hopes of The Jon making the playoffs when he went out and got his wrist broken from a Bronson Arroyo pitch the exact same day The Jon traded for him. But at least he is available to save this small town in Latin America from the horrors of horrors. Now granted, The Jon is running out of ideas for fixing the WordPress glitch of pasting a word document into a post that kills your right-side widgets, but come along and enjoy the ride.

Look at this kid. There is something extremely wrong in his world.
“Carlos! Catastrophe! Carlos! Please! Aiii!”

Now being the good humanitarian and homer, RBI machine that he is, Lee is obviously concerned.
“Help us Carlos! Ayiiii!”
So what is causing all of this? What disaster awaits? “Carlos! Ayiiii!”

There is only one drink left. Carlos! Catastrophe!

And it is so hot. Look at those hot guys over there! Damn you, sun. Damn you. Ayiiiiii!

Then Carlos does this crazy sequence. Sign ball. Hit ball. Ball rolls. Oh si. Bike ride with drinks. Ayiiii!

Town saved. Carlos Lee, you clever dog. And to follow in the spirit of fixing the WordPress glitch, time to make fun of Newspaperman. The Latino version of Newspaperman? Go ahead, click this …

The Jon knows these thing to be true: Week 19

Bronson Arroyo, you bum. After crying last week how The Jon was out of the playoffs, The Jon still has a slight chance after a shellacking to our Waste of Space fantasy owner. Seeing how the trading deadline was Sunday, The Jon has been busy all week getting Evan Longoria. Once that deal was done, The Jon saw Carlos Lee was available also and gave up a third round pick in next year’s draft.

Then Carlos Lee gets hit by a pitch by Arroyo and my pick and slim chance of the playoffs are all but gone. Just like that, the best hitter and front-runner fantasy MVP is out for the year. The Jon is beyond mad … only one thing can make me happy …

Astro-Logical

Over the past several years, the Houston Astros have brought out one of the dullest offensive lineups in the bigs. I mean, if you could differentiate Geoff Blum from Morgan Ensberg from Mike Lamb in a police lineup you should be eligible for free season tickets. No longer will that be the case in H-Town. While nobody will confuse this offense with the BoSox or Yanks, this should be the surprise producer of 2008.

This ain’t fantasy football where too many good players on one team cannibalize each others production.

The Michael Jordan of fantasy baseball …

Move aside Mike, Newspaperman is about to join you in three-peat land. Just when things looked like I was going to enter the season with Travis Hafner and Carlos Zambrano as two of my five keepers in one league, I got a surprising offer this morning from someone looking to dump Carlos Lee and C.C. Sabathia.

Draft advice: Top 20 outfielders

After a week of tedious and arduous calculations that involved The Jon saying: “Hey, email me your OF rankings, suckers,” TheBaseballStars have finally compiled our top 20 list. PoiDog broke out his calculator and has recorded the most accurate rankings ever made. No stats, no hype. Just guts.

Welcome to the money position in fantasy baseball. Outfiled has every category you could need. Power, hits, speed, runs, SB, it is all there. And they could be had in the later rounds of a draft or off the wire. Outfield is the deepest postion in baseball. Some strategists say to grab infield and pitching and wait for outfieled picks. They only say that because they want to dupe the fantasy baseballer so they can grab all of the studs in the outfield. Screw that, any of the top 3 outfielders can be top 5 overall picks. Out of your first five picks in the draft, get a top outfielder as one of the selections. Do it. Let’s get cracking, shall we?

1. Matt Holliday (100 votes)
2. Vladimir Guerrero (90)
3. Grady Sizemore (88)

It’s in the stars: More letters

Keep Erik Bedard? What about Alex Rios? Is he worthy? And is Dan Haren worth these three guys? TheBaseballStars answer to more questions concerning keepers and trades.

The Jon’s five most overrated players

Fantasy baseball writers like to feel special. They like to make bold predictions of players that will breakout so they can puff out their chest and tell a faceless community that they told you so. You won’t get that from The Jon. What you got here is a champ. The Jon gets results and trophies. With top three finishes for the past 5 seasons and a championship just this past year, The Jon doesn’t need bold predictions. Just results. So without further to do, here are the five most overrated players this season.

Carl Crawford: It’s a broken record. Check out this sight long enough and you will know the quasi-love-hate relationship The Jon has for Carl Crawford.
