One of the best things about baseball is that it is a long season. If you go 0-4 one day, you get the chance to come back out tomorrow and get another crack at it.

I have seen leagues where studs like Reds' second baseman Brandon Phillips and Brewers' outfielder Ryan Braun are getting cut. (0) comments
