In what will be a weekly tradition (since I have no life and even less free time), I will be posting the match ups for the week in a weekly email (which will usually be posted on Sunday, Monday if I'm hungover.)
#7 WickedGreen Monstahs (Boston) @ #8 Philly Cheeseteaks (Philadelphia)
It's chowdah vs. cheesesteaks! Lobstahs vs.... well whatever the hell else Philly is known for in artery-clogging cuisine. But, more importantly, it's a match up between which city is the better suburb of New York: Boston or Philly? GM Bowman I wants to take down the commish, and the Commish wants to make an early statement to prove his 5 preseason moves paid off from the get go. The winner of this match will be well on his way to the playoff bubble. The loser, will likely smack talk the other to death until they meet up again in Game #14.
#6 Pawtucket Red Sox of Providence @ #13 We Want a Touchdown (East Lansing)
In the first of this week's interleague matchups, we have the PawSox vs. the 'Footballers. The PawSox and GM Tigue are hoping for a strong showing from the real Red Sox pitching squad, while the 'Footballers are demanding severe retribution for their not-so-great showing in the power rankings. We Want a Touchdown could pull off an upset, especially if John Smoltz has a good start on April 2!
#10 Hoot's Howitzers (Chicago) @ #2 Tiger Bandwagon (New York)
So what does it take to win a fantasy game? Pitching or Offense? This East-West matchup may settle that question once and for all. The offensive powerhouse Howitzers made some interesting last minute pitching moves, which could make matters even more interesting against the power pitching Bandwagon. But, I will say this. Matt, BEAT BELSKY! IF YOU DO THIS, I WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR DRAFTING DAMON!
#5 Pink Roos (Providence) @ #11 Dirty Diamond D's (Chicago)
The Detroit Tigers dealt the Triple D's a blow this week, as both Ramon Santiago and Chris Shelton were optioned to Detriot's AAA team in Toledo. To make matters worse for the Triple D's Phillies Pitcher Freddy Garcia looks to start the season on the DL. The Roos, on the other hand look more in tact, with only Chicago pitcher Kerry Wood on the DL. But watch out, this game won't be easy, cause the Triple D's got Johan Santana! It ain't over till its over.
#12 Knights of Darkness (Detroit) @ #9 Gnome Gnorth Gninjas (Chicago)
MEDIC! The Gninjas have not had a good Spring Training, with pitching anchors Kenny Rogers and Eric Gange are both on the DL. To add to the Ginja's troubles, NL MVP Ryan Howard has been in a slump all spring. The Knights, on the other hand look healthy and have a pitching staff that's ON FIRE to start the season.
#14 Loons (Midland) @ #1 Stingrays I (Rockford)
The Rockford Yankees...er..uh, I mean Stingrays are ready to start their conquest... er uh, I mean annihilation of the West, but standing in their way first are the Midland Loons, determined not to roll over easily. Both teams are among the healthiest in the league right now, and the Loons have a very hot Justin Verlander at the front of their rotation. Can the Loons piece together enough of an offense to upset the Evil Empire of the West? Check back in on April 9th!
#3 Margaritas (Rockford) @ #4 Mike Made Me Do This (Boston)
Rounding off the week's matchups, it's the furthest West team vs. the furthest East team (depending on where these two are sitting in the room at a given moment). This match up is really a tossup, and to make the differentiation even harder, both of their shirt icons are the same color: red... the color of blood! Mwa ha ha ha ha! But seriously, both of these powerhouses will have some interesting issues to deal with in the first week. The Anti-Mike's may have some demotion to the minors issues, and the Margaritas have some minor injuries to their pitching staff.
That about covers it for this week. Don't forget to plug in your players for the week, and good luck!!!- The Commish
