A mess with the Johan

Big news out of New York yesterday.

We heard that Johan Santana is done for the season. New Yorkers can only laugh at this point, but it certainly had a much bigger effect on the fantasy world.

And especially Ken. This is huge for one of the top teams in the league. How does this impact the rest of the season?


I got in touch with Ken today to see how he was taking the news. Surprisingly, he was still in good spirits.

"It's been my offense that's carrying me anyway," he said.

Maybe so, but this will undoubtedly leave a big hole. Even this week, in a huge matchup against Bob where Santana was scheduled to start twice.

"Clifford Lee," Ken said. "Two starts this week..huge."

Bob was pleased to hear of the news, as was Andy - a potential first-round playoff opponent.

"That actually is huge," Bob said of Santana missing this week.

But, there's one other factor in all this. Does Santana stay healthy in the offseason? We won't know by the time we declare keepers. So does Ken roll the dice?

"He'll be good for next year," a confident Ken said. "Minor surgery."

When told he was lowered from a 7:1 to an 11:1 favorite in Vegas to win it all, Ken said: "I was only 7:1? HA my team is the best."

Strong words from one of the league's top teams. Let's see whether Santana breaks him though.

Did you know...?

Some league history for you. Eric Bruntlett, the man above who dealt the Mets another crushing loss today, was actually drafted this year.

Yes, that's right. Find out where, when and why after the jump.


He actually went pretty high - the 8th (11th) round to Ken's team. Anyone remember why?

Well, it was because Ryan Zimmerman was auto drafted by Adam's team when he was supposed to lose a draft pick, so Ken took Bruntlett as a "ghost player," if you will.

And that, my friends, is the legend of Eric Bruntlett in our league.

Someone's got some 'splainin to do

The Mets wore uniforms last night to celebrate Spanish Heritage Night, with "Los Mets" as the emblem.

But, apparently the equipment manager really fucked up this time. He couldn't even stitch the lettering correctly.

The moron had the wording backward. It should have read, "Mets Lose"


Thank you, I'll be here all week.
