This week brought us back to reality. We got smoked. We had the second lowest points, and Matrix had the most points for the week. Good old fashion ass whoopin’. Our pitchers stunk it up, except for John Lackey, and our hitters were generally pretty average. Basher is again all alone in first, and we’re […]

Father’s Day – The Best Gift for Dad
I didn’t know much about the East Coast versus West Coast hip hop rivalry. I honestly didn’t care who Suge Knight’s and Tupac Shakur’s industry enemies were. I never had hatred for colleagues at other companies, so I didn’t really comprehend it. But Reggie Rock Bythewood’s “One Night in Vegas” story about the night that Tupac was […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 9
Great win for Team OTBR! That puts us alone in second place, which is a nice comeback from where we started in the cellar. Our team is starting to perform, and everyone (except Justin Verlander) is healthy. All despite sitting Nolan Arenado in favor of Kyle Seager because he had one less game this week. […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 8
Another Win! Team OTBR now 5-3 in the MLB Pride league in CBS Fantasy Baseball, and still tied for 2nd in our Division. We had a good matchup, because we only outscored 3 teams in the league last week. We’re hopefully about the Clay Buckholz pickup. He was supposed to have 2 starts this week, but […]

Watch Your Back, Aaron Rodgers
(Image Courtesy of Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports) The Deflate-Gate drama continued yesterday (May 14, 2015) with Tom Brady formally appealing his suspension and Bob Kraft and the New England Patriots releasing a rebuttal report on their very own “The Wells Report in Context” website. Not only do these two events ensure we are all going to […]
Show A-Rod the Money
(Image courtesy of Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports) Yankees versus Alex Rodriguez. What are the chances that we actually get to see a player sue his team, WHILE he is still on the team?? A-Rod could be the first in my memory. Let’s set the stage: A-Rod juices just like everybody else when the league looks the […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 5
Team OTBR was on the receiving end of a royal screwing courtesy of Bryce Harper and his 6 frigin homers. Wow! So we lost Week 5, and are now 2-3 in our division. Ryan Braun is starting to turn it on, so maybe keep an eye on him and get him back in the lineup […]

Team OTBR had an amazing win in Week 4 in the MLB Pride league – crushing the bronxbombers15, and now have a 2-2 record so we’re hanging steady in the middle of the division. Some moves we made: We picked up Justin Verlander, even though he’s still on the DL. Has an MRI early next week, […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 3
Wow, so it’s been 3 weeks of Fantasy Baseball in the MLB Pride league for Team OTBR, and this is the first update! Blame that on Mike’s belated honeymoon to Australia, Jason’s film festival preparations, and Ash’s new baby boy Quincey. Reasonable excuses, if you ask me. Enough personal life, let’s talk real life….Fantasy Baseball! So […]
