It was amazing to see how many people on social media borrowed the lyrics from the classic Andy Williams' Christmas tune "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and turned it into a song for the MLB Opening Day 2018. Forget the day after the Super Bowl becoming a holiday. If MLB continues to schedule all of the teams for this day, MLB Opening Day should become the new sports-related holiday.Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ started out this day by hitting a home run on the first pitch of the first game, which leads us…

Out of breath yet? Welcome to Opening Week, where the games finally matter and the chase for saves is already on! The closer drama continued right up until Opening Day, leaving owners with some last minute decisions to make before lineups locked on Thursday. If you were one of the people who drafted Greg Holland, grew impatient, and then dropped him, sucks to be you, because he landed a job after all. The Cardinals signed the 32-year old to a one-year deal prior to their opener against the Mets, throwing fantasy bullpens…

The success of my 2018 fantasy baseball season weighs heavily on the production of these 14 players. I own each of these players in at least 40% of my leagues.

Whatever it is, at least we have MLB regular season baseball back in our lives.The off-season might have been mostly stagnant, but Spring Training sure as heck wasn’t. Before the first pitch of the season was clobbered into the…

ROUND 31: FANTASY EPL REVIEW With only four matches in the last round, there isn’t much to review. Mohamed Salah was the star of the show with four goals in Liverpool’s 5-0 thrashing of Watford. He has been simply spectacular and the best player this season (in fantasy too). Two late goals by Stanislas and Ibe turned a loss into a win for Bournemouth versus West Bromwich. The Baggies are well on their way towards relegation. Crystal Palace stopped the bleeding with a 2-0 win in Huddersfield. In the match, Luka Milivojevic…
