Sidney's Blue Period: Yanks-KC Gamer I

Sidney Ponson now wears Royal blue. After experimenting with orange and black, navy blue, and a mix of American colors, he has settled on performing his art in this hue. Fittingly he is among royalty (as if this were not inevitable for Sir Sidney), and his first test is against his former mates, our heroes. The game has begun. Ponson is behind in the count to Teixeira. Actually he just walked him! One out and two men on base makes Sidney go boom!

Sources: A-Rod Requests Trade

Alex Rodriguez's days in the Bronx appear numbered. He has reportedly asked management for a trade to a small market team. Sources close to him claim that he can no longer handle the intense New York media and wishes to spend the rest of his career out of the spotlight. Cashman and company say they will try everything in their power to honor his request. Kansas City and Oakland appear on the top of A-Rod's wishlist. The Yanks would seek a package of high-level prospects from either of these clubs. It is assumed the Bombers would have to foot most of A-Rod's remaining contract.

YFSF Fantasy Baseball (Do Over)

Unfortunately many of our regulars (including myself) were shut out of the original (CBS) YFSF fantasy baseball league.  So I have gone back to Yahoo! in hopes that we can finally have a fully functional, fair and enjoyable fantasy baseball league.  Using Yahoo! gives us a chance to get more regulars into the league, the league max is 20, as opposed to 10 at CBS.  So we are going to scrap the CBS league and move forward with Yahoo!  If you are interested in joining the league simply send me an email at: JohnYF13 at yahoo dot com.  The first 19 teams that contact me will be granted league access.  Thanks guys and I am sorry for the confusion.      

Cover Duty

 

To all you baseball gamers, there's a MVP (most valuable pipsqueak!) in your future. 

Question: will the cover art keep diehard "The Show" fan and YFSF blogger John from buying the game at all?

UPDATE: Commenter Rob asks if there is a "Madden Curse" equivalent for this game.  There is.  It's after the jump.  And it's awesome.
