Fighting Chance Fantasy Sports is back!!!!  We took a little break to celebrate the holidays but it is time to start focusing on baseball.  That’s right, it is snowing like crazy here in New York but it is time to start taking a look at the Boys of Summer and who you should pick in your draft which still might be months…

Whatever Brett Myers did while he was in the minor leagues, perhaps he should spend a couple of weeks down there every season. Myers improved to 4-1 since he returned with another stellar effort. He threw another seven shutout innings and struck out eight batters. Myers did allow nine hits, but none of them came around to score. Myers…

Are you happy now Mets’ fans? After the bullpen blew a six run lead in the 9th inning the last time that Johan Santana pitched, their big ticket went out Sunday and went the distance in a 9-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Listening to sports talk radio all week, I heard one crying fan after another saying Santana should…

The top story of the day I guess is the change in the bullpen in Colorado. It was made official today that Brian Fuentes would be reinstated as Rockies closer, so all of you with Manny Corpas on your roster had better act fast (I already did). We covered in our article yesterday Corpas’ recent struggles, and they appeared…

couple of aging closers are really dealing so far in 2008. In New York, Mets’ closer Billy Wagner has been completely dominant. Not only has Wagner not given up a run yet in his eight appearances, but Wagner is yet to give up a hit! He does only have four saves and six Ks, but Billy has been dealing every time out for Manager Willie Randolph, whether it has…
