Fantasy Baseball Complaint Department

     I would have called it “venting”, but that stupid Coors Light commercial now gives the word a stigma of moronical proportions.  So let’s just call it “Complaint Department”. 

     Everybody’s got complaints, right?  Everyone’s got issues.  They say it’s not healthy to keep things bottled up inside you;  that you should have a release.  But what I realized was, there’s no real way for us, the hardcore fantasy baseballers, to get out our anger — to release our frustrations.  Sure we can punch holes in walls and throw inanimate objects, but really…what does that accomplish?  You’re gonna have to spackel that wall up later.  We can’t talk to our wives about it.  Hell, my wife is a fantasy player and she doesn’t want to hear about it.  We can’t talk to our friends about it because those not involved in fantasy don’t care and those that are involved don’t want to hear your crap.  They have their own that they’re trying to unload.  So that leads me here…

     I’ve decided to dedicate another weekly installment to Rotobuzz to give myself and the rest of you out there a chance to release your anger.  Get it out of your system.  Take a few minutes for yourself here and pound the keyboard.  I have a sneaking suspicion that not only will you feel better, but we’ll probably hear some pretty funny sh*t out there.  Here we go….I’ll start…

I may have been lucky to start the year, but as my trade deadline looms in a pair of keeper leagues, I’m suddenly losing players like Adrian Gonzalez and Alexei Ramirez to injuries.  This comes right on the heels of having just got back both Francisco Cordero and (eeww!) Brad Lidge from the DL.

Still missing Raul Ibanez in my Experts League.

I paid big bucks for Dexter Fowler and not only is he not producing, but Jim Tracy is the anti-runner and green lights no one on the basepaths.

I protected Chris Davis.

I only need to do a small tweak deal in my primary keeper league but the only offers I’m getting are for Hanley Ramirez.

The first time I’ve ever owned Chipper Jones in my fantasy career and he stinks this year.

Javier Vazquez gets zero run support.

Russell Martin:  benched

Or how about every time I switch a player from my active to my reserves, that’s when he decides to start performing???  Stupid J.J. Hardy.

For more gasoline to throw on the fire, check out my First Half All Bust Team for 2009 on AddictFantasySports.com.

That should get the ball rolling for now.  I’m sure there’s plenty more I can complain about, but I’ll leave some room for the rest of you. 

Need to get it out of your system?  Let us all share in your frustration and write it here!
