It's a funny thing about baseball -- that when you're not looking, suddenly, you realize some hitter you've never heard of is tearing up the place and a pitcher you'd left for the scrap heap has resurrected himself to look like the guy you once upon a time kept for three years in a row… Continue reading Knuckles Report: Week 10

When I hear people say, "No one cares about your fantasy team," I always want to meekly chime in that I, indeed, care about your fantasy team. I want to discuss your near misses and your debates. I want to celebrate those of us who own Jesse Winker in at least one league, especially if… Continue reading Knuckles Report: Week 9

I got a new job last week - it's right up my alley in that I can do it while watching TV or listening to podcasts.

Basically, I have to be doing something where I am not tempted to read anything because I cannot read and listen to… Continue reading Knuckles Report: Week 2

Mercifully, the week of watching my father kick my ass in the pitching categories has ended. Not all the pitching categories, mind you. He only managed ONE win for the entire ten days with a staff of Scherzer, Peralta, Lopez, Bundy, Rodriguez, and poor Jacob deGrom. As a non-Mets fan and an unapologetic West Coast… Continue reading Knuckles Report: Week 1
