Fantasy baseball scares me.

About a week ago, something happened that I vowed would never happen again, I joined a fantasy baseball league.

I had a bad experience with it in high school. One guy cheated, and another almost un-friended me because I wouldn't take his proposed trade. I was a newbie to fantasy baseball, but my team was good - I was a competitor. But that was all before I had much of a social life, or a girlfriend for that matter.

This could be a bad decision - reincarnating my embarrassing love for computer-based sports. I'm not even sure when the draft is. My team is probably going to be terrible. Fantasy baseball takes a lot of time and attention.

Nowadays, when I think of fantasy baseball, I see the clip from "Fever Pitch" where a bunch of guys are cought sneeking away from their lives to go meet with their fantasy baseball league. I found this poll which illustrates how real-life fantasy baseballers disapproved of the movie.

The Fighting Swine are back, and its baseball season.

Thanks for reading.
