THE JON: Founder and the most successful fantasy baseballer in the group. Favorite players owned, Vladimir Guerrero, Ichiro, Johan Santana and Roy Halladay. 
He loves you and he loves fantasy baseball. Favorite team, the Red Sox. Spends his day drawing hearts around Mr. David Wright and Mrs. Newspaperman Wright. 
THE OZ: Has been a buster ever since winning TheBaseballStars inaugural season. Favorite team, the A's. Best keeper, Alex Rodriguez. 
FREESANJOSE: The sworn enemy of The Jon, FreeSanJose is the most versatile of the group when it comes to team strategy. Favorite team, the A's. Best keepers, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. 
POIDOG: Makes the playoffs every year. Has never won a title. Favorite team, the A's. Best players, Jake Peavy and Miguel Cabrera. Still crying over the Dan Haren trade. Dear TBS,
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Because your intrepid reporter Craig Sager wanted to interview Jonathan Papelbon and Justin Masterson after the Red Sox’s victory Monday over the Anaheim Angels in the American League Division Series, I got to experience the second greatest moment of the night. Nothing will top Jason Bay scoring on Jed Lowrie’s game-winning single. But watching Papelbon ruin Craig Sager’s suit with his champagne blast during the interview was perhaps the second greatest moment of the entire playoffs. And speaking of the suit, what the hell was that pocket square. Was that a tiger? An Eye of the Tiger?
Before your staff sets up shop in Tampa Bay for Games one and two of the American League Championship Series, please consider benching Sager. He’s nothing but a distraction. I mean watch this interview again. I think he actually said Joseph Masterson.
Sincerely,
Newspaperman.
P.S. Thank you again for decreasing the Frank TV ads. I think I only spotted two or three. Now we’re making progress.
