Injuries. That is what Week 4 is all about. Newspaperman and FreeSanJose actually tried to step to The Jon and point and scream about scoreboard? Injure The Jon?
Well, FreeSanJose didn’t, that’s because he can express it on a different level and doesn’t wear a polka dot dress like Newspaperman does. Fantasy baseball is devoid of perspective. It is all about how your team did the past week for the novice fantasy baseballer.

Take a look at FreeSanJose and Newspaperman. Novices they are not, but they love the scoreboard. When they have won championships, they have always been the top dog in the standings. They have not suffered or came into the playoffs as one of the lower seeds only to win it all … twice.

The Jon has. Perseverance, fools. And as for dogs, go ahead and kick The Jon while he is down. Let’s get going and move ahead to Chipper Jones …

What is Chipper hurt again?

So last week it was his quad or hammy, who cares. This week he had back spasms. Chipper owners have to love the guy. That would explain the headaches he produces. But when he produces in the fantasy variety, he is well worth it. That is why managers never bench him in H2H formats.

The Jon will say it right now. He is the third best hitter in baseball behind Albert Pujols and Chase Utley. And he will play Tuesday.

Yunel Escobar on the other hand will not. The best fantasy utility player behind Chone Figgins will be out past Tuesday since he can’t grip a bat.

And to keep with the Braves theme, John Smoltz had a bad outing Sunday and then complained about shoulder stiffness. Wait a couple of weeks before he comes back, and then everyone at ESPN will say how he is a hall of famer blah, blah, blah.

Jorge Posada wil also go on the DL for the first time ever. Guess who’s team he is on? Hint: His name starts with The.

Hey welcome back, while you were out The Jon actually found out what Hannah Montana’s real name was ..

The first part of this shout out goes to the Japanese Hannah Montana. Thank You!

Apparently Miley had some photos surface on the Internet of her with spaghetti noodles or something where she coulda been naked awww who gives a crap. But The Jon is fantasy writer. He has to relate fantasy baseball to Soccer Moms and Hannah Montana tickets. It’s states in our handbook that we have to use Non sequiturs and dated pop culture … Thank You!

The other shout out goes to C.C. Sabathia. 14 innings pitched, 19 Ks and a win and a loss (1-0) later and Sabathia looks to be back. His teammate Fausto Carmona has been …

He has landed on The Jon’s bench, mostly because of …

Hey, these guys are pretty good

Cliff Lee is the best pitcher in baseball. Cough, Cliff Lee is the best player in baseball. Cough. Cough.

Saying that about Lee is almost is bad as getting the undercarriage of your nuts touched by a doctor as he checks for a hernia. Cough.

The Jon was right again. When everyone was going crazy over Johnny Cueto, The Jon correctly stated Edinson Volquez was the better pitcher. A good changeup will always do that. Volquez’s past two starts have registered 10 Ks … each.

That is what fantasy baseball is all about. The Jon had a good staff coming into the season. Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Fausto Carmona and Felix Hernandez will do that.

Lee and Volquez came off the wire even though The Jon was loaded in pitching. Never pass up pitchers, suckas. Man, suckas .. this of course leads us to …

Punks jump up to get beat down ..

For some reason The Jon has been spewing early ’90s yin-yang slang.

From peace ain’t a word to play, we’re all in the same gang, knawmean? To the treasures is the glaciers of ice, The Jon is about to go on some old high school isht and knock some one out for livin. The Jon ain’t no tough guy, but The Jon needs to check The Jon’s self before he wrecks The Jon’s self, know what The Jon’s sayin?

This has to stop … Real talk. There that’s better.

So is flamboyant the new homosexual?

The Jon was forced to watch VH1’s The Best Week Ever because ESPN decided to show NFL draft pre-coverage Friday night for about 500 hours.

Once that random white guy that was a former QB for the Philadelphia Eagles started talking about Darren McFadden’s illegitimate children and then proceeded to compare him to Tom Brady’s and Matt Leinart’s illegitimate children it was time for the switch.

It didn’t get any better. That VH1 showed some clips of these two flamboyant guys talking about Brad Pitt’s underwear. Umm, these guys were gay.

Are we supposed to call gay guys flamboyant now? Or do we call them homosexual?

Please let The Jon know.

So The Jon flips back to ESPN and … Brett Favre is retired!

Really? Do we need to hear another interview from him?

ESPN is great, not only do they limit their Baseball Tonight coverage during the NFL draft where God sticks out his middle finger and touches Chris Berman to spew nonsense along with a bunch of has-been players (with the exception of Tom Jackson who wasn’t even on the show) and Mel Kiper, but they also do The Great NBA Playoff trick.

You know, the one where they have their NBA show called NBA Primetime or something and show Lebron James and Cleveland Cavaliers highlights for the last 15 minutes of the show.

This is after the beginning of the program where they have already showed the highlights and then break to Stephen A. Smith so he can yell at everyone at how much he loves Kobe Bryant.

So there is the last 15 minutes devoted to the Cavs. Then after that show, Sportscenter comes on where the lead story is … 15 more minutes of the Cavs game. The Great NBA Playoff trick folks …

Yahoo Message board fun

Once again, these are real message boards on fantasy baseball

i give shane victorino scott baker and shaun marcum for marino rivera and noah lowry
should i do this

RE: only if you are a dummy

Anyone? Please?

Should i pick up another catcher as Posada is going on the DL? He hasnt played half of the time the past few weeks and Im still beating up on the other teams. If so who should i get? The best FAs are Towles, Doumit, Benjie Molina, Johjima, and Ramon Hernandez. I would drop Harden and put Posada on the DL so I wouldnt really be dropping anybody important. Also, I have the number one waiver priority. I plan on picking up Max Scherzer when he becomes available…. who would I drop?

RE: I’d drop Cordero for Scherzer and Harden for Doumit, just remember he’s in a platoon with Ronny Paulino, but does have the ability to play OF when he isn’t catching. And he’s hitting cleanup.

RE: bump….

RE: bump…….\
