Albert Pujols finally hit his long-awaited and much-anticipated first home run of the season! Plus the Los Angeles Angels can breathe a sigh of relief as well because this home run drought was adding more pressure by the day to an already tense atmosphere surrounding the underachieving team.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is [...]
My team did rally to win the week four matchup by getting some huge starts to finish the scoring week out. The final score was 283-233.5 and the win improved my team to 2-2 on the season.
I had almost no production from Albert Pujols, Howard Kendrick, and Ryan Zimmerman with the three of them combining to score a whopping 3 points on the wee [...]

Going into the final scoring day in week four of the 2012 Fantasy Baseball season I’m locked into some very tight weekly matchups and looking to pull off my first 3-0 week of the season.
My CBSSorts.com team went into today’s MLB action clinging to a narrow 211-207.5 lead. I made a couple of roster moves going into this week that [...]
This team finally woke up and came to life with a huge 301-182 win to improve to 1-2 on the season. I went into the week 0-2 and facing a 2-0 team in my division and couldn’t afford to fall three games behind in the standings.
My team is the highest scoring team in the league, but is off to a 1-2 start. I’d lost a close week two matchup, but [...]
Here’s a look at my team’s week three action.
This was another close game that I was leading going into the weekend, but still found a way to lose. The final score was 233-221 and drops my team to 1-2 on the season. I got no production out of Justin Upton, but I know he was nursing an injured hand that really affected his product [...]
Here’s how my team performed in week 3. We lost a tough matchup when some things went against us, but I’m confident in the team I put together. Plus it’s a long season with many ups and downs and its way to early for anyone to panic.

What’s wrong with Albert Pujols? It looks like he’s turning into Jayson Werth right before our eyes! I’m referring to the 2011 version of Werth who struggled in his first season with the Washington Nationals after signing a huge free agent contract.
Pujols is driving fantasy baseball owners crazy with his lack of production [...]
