i cannot just chill out
Fantasy baseball is driving me insane. I can think of nothing else.
Also, I am sick of chewing gum. That's the act of chewing...gum. I'm okay with chewing gum in theory. Also fine with the idea of bubble gum. But I've been chewing a lot of gum lately and it's making my teeth hurt.
In my last podcast I mentioned that I'm taking requests for things to do that will change my life in either minor or major ways (if only for a week). I've begun one or two of them. Call my audio comment line and leave a suggestion or two. 206.66.MARC.6
Thanks!
(UPDATE - Friday 11am)
Here's an example of what I'm talking about in regards to fantasy baseball. Within the past hour I sent this email (names, positions, stats redacted & the word "offering" spelled correctly for use on the internet) to someone in my league. I'm becoming the sort of owner I hate!
Dear [OWNER] -
Thanks for thinking about the offer. You've got some good reasons to want to hold onto [PLAYER A]. I'm high on [PLAYER B], which is why I traded [PLAYER C], probably the top [POSITION X] this year, for him.
I'm not sure what your keeper situation looks like, but if I were to sweeten the deal by offering [PLAYER B] and [PLAYER D], would that interest you?
[PLAYER D] can play [POSITION Y] and [POSITION Z]. His [STAT Q] is great and if you look at last year's numbers, remember that he was out for [AMOUNT OF TIME INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]. [BLANK #] [STAT P]'s this year with a(n) [STAT Q] of [BLANK #] or higher is a possibility. I ran some of my numbers yesterday, comparing projections across a couple of sources, and for our format [PLAYER D] is projecting out better than [PLAYER B].

Obviously, I need professional help. Now that I've admitted my problem, I think it can be solved if [PLAYER A] joins my roster.
