Just a couple of days left until the end of the fantasy baseball season. We’ll recap the season results and show you just how valuable the advice here on “Stream Pies” has been. Until then, make sure you maximize the shit out of your innings because even over the last day or two, championships can be determined.

With so little time left in the season, I stepped up the number of recommendations in order to help you catch up in innings pitched. Obviously, I’m walking more of a tightrope by putting more names on here, but it’s cool because I’m a stand up guy who’s brave, fearless, and humble as shit.

Cowboy Up

There have been a number of big name fantasy players going down with injuries these first two weeks of the season, and SoR’s resident physical therapist is here to help sort some of it out. If you’re an owner (or would like to be) of Tony Romo, Felix Jones, Miles Austin, Aaron Hernandez or Arian Foster, I suggest you pay attention. It’s a decidedly Cowboy-heavy injury lineup, which is music to this Giants fan’s ears. As always, if you have any injury questions or concerns about any players not discussed here, feel free to further the discussion in the comments section or shoot me an email. Let’s get down to business.

NFL Real Talk: Week Three

Written by Starbonell on .

CryingMost 0-2 owners are feeling like this

After Week Two, fantasy owners tend to think they have their team figured out. If you’re off to a 2-0 start, you’re inner dialogue probably goes something like this:

“You’re amazing. You’ve got them right where you want them. Maybe a small move here, minor trade there, and you’ll have this league locked up. You’re so hot. Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me.”

If you’re 1-1, the conversation in your mind likely sounds like this:

“Alright. N-n-n-no reason to get too overwhelmed. We can still get through this. Just shore up the weaknesses, deal from our strengths, and we’ll be gravy.”

If you’re 0-2, chances are this is running through your head:

“I f’ing hate fantasy football.”

Wherever you are on your league’s totem pole, realize this: it’s never too early to start thinking seriously about whether your team is suited for a title run (particularly if you are off to a slow start). There’s no need to sit and wait a week or two later, because by then, the damage may be irrevocable. With that in mind, join me as we sift through some of the more interesting story lines that rose from the ashes of Week Two.

Hello everybody and welcome to the inaugural edition of the Canadian Wrap-up. Each week, we’ll be highlighting the most important fantasy stories. Week Two brought us many surprises, some good, and some downright devastating. Let’s jump right into the action... after the jump:

Stream Pies: Week Two

At “Stream Pies,” we are serving up gooey loads of knowledge. Here, we’ll provide invaluable streaming advice on kickers and DEF teams who are owned in less than 30-percent of Yahoo! leagues. We list the options in order of best option to “least-best” option (with the strongest recommendations starting at the top). Below our recommendations are last week’s and full season results. Points are based on default Yahoo! settings.

Welcome to the fantasy football debut of “Stream Pies.” Because this version of “Stream Pies” covers a whole lotta ground, we got two MCs spitting on it. From this point forward, your kicker recommendations will be handled by Andrew Holm while DEFs will be done by your boy Big Poppa Pockets. Every week the three of us will provide stream options and keep track of our success rate. Hmm, fantasy making themselves accountable for their advice. Funny notion, ain’t it?

The main reason this weekly post is being featured here on SoR is because we believe every American is entitled to the right to “stream.” You know that dumbass who takes a DEF in the 12th round of your league without fail? That’s the dude we don’t want reading this.

No, this article is for the lot of ya who have no desire to waste a high pick or serious auction dollars on a DEF or K. You can do just as well starting a bunch of options off the waiver wire, and we’re here to prove that.

We’re not asking that you believe everything we say. All we’re asking is that you give us full and unquestioned control of your Ks and DEFs. Just do that, and you won’t be a child molester. You’re not a child molester... are you?
