Let's consider, with everything being one big hypothetical, a baseball scenario in the National League. We have the Triple Crown watch in effect for not one, not two, but THREE players. It's a scary thought, considering we have given 2010 the Year of the Pitcher tag.

What if.. Albert Pujols wins the triple crown, Joey Votto finishes 2nd or lower in the 3 categories, but the Reds make the playoffs and the Cardinals do not. Who's the MVP? A guy who's accomplished something we haven't ...

Today I went to the Marlins-Reds game. It was hot out, like really hot. I was able to snag a pretty good special though as the Reds had a 'tailgate' offer where you could $35 tickets for $25 with a free $10 concessions voucher. Sweet, huh? Problem was though that as I sat directly in the sun (curious that so many people were choosing to stand in the shade, next to the misting fans) I chose to sit in the sun and baked.

It's a loaded field. Neftali Feliz has been not ...

Why do fantasy commissioners continue to use wins as a major part of the fantasy point equation? Let alone the actual MLB, but I have more faith in fans being able to determine how best to evaluate a player's worth in competition. We're not keeping track of these stats using the newspaper, we have a bevy of metrics to look at and we continue to choose the wrong one, often giving the most weight of points to it.

I am in a 12 league head to head league where wins usually make or break ...
