Hal, Rick already in major trouble

If I were Josh Johnson, I'd be demanding
a trade from Rick's putrid team.

Not the start that either Hal or Rick was hoping for.

Obviously. 0-3 is 0-3, no bones about it. Terrible start for both teams. Neither one has even come close to winning. Combined they have been outscored an incredible 84-28.

No team has made the playoffs after an 0-3 start, let alone 0-4. This week is crucial. Championships won't be won in April, but if Hal and Rick don't win this week, well...start prepping for the lottery.

I spoke with both of them. Here's what they had to say.


Rick: "Well it's tough mentally when you have a slow start so we just have to be sure to keep our heads in the game and stay focused. It's early so we've got plenty of time to make adjustments and still come out on top in this league. You might even see a name change..."

Hal: "We just haven't been able to put it together. Yahoo put out an article about players starting off horribly and three-fourths are on my team. The bottom line is, I am just as confident in my team now as I was after the draft. I'm not going to do anything rash, because i know this team will wake up and play to their potential."

Well, it's nice to see the managers remain confident, but I just don't see how they can say these comments with a straight face. If I start 0-3, I'm in major panic mode.

They have two of fantasy baseball's top pitchers (Halladay, J. Johnson), and are getting crushed each week.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
